One of Amelia's favorite places had always been the lake. There were so many amazing memories there. All of the memories had her friends in them. It didn't matter if she was also with her family, her friends would be there so she could hang out with him. The tradition of going to the lake was one thing she always looked forward too. How often did she get to have a slumber party with guys? Yeah, that would be a never.

This year was the first time she had debated about going. She hadn't been feeling well and Tristan had just broken up about a week before. But Callum insisted. He said it would good for them, give them more time to spend together before school starts. So she agreed. She sat in between Callum and Thomas. She gave a small yawn when Callum got up. She frowned, not sure if he wanted her to sneak out into the woods or not. She chewed on her lip, looking at Paige and Tristan when they spoke. "Yeah... maybe someone should go..." Just like that Thomas was already up and hurrying after him. So much for sneaking off.

She sighed and pulled her jacket around her more. She stared up at the sky. This was the best place to get a good look at the stars. She loved it out her. Not too long she heard them making their way back. "Where did Callum go?" She asked Thomas, sitting up a little taller. She wouldn't put it past Callum to try and scare them. "Did you find him?"

Lia looked around at the others, settling down against the log. It wasn't amazingly comfortable but it would do. She didn't want to seem too worried about Callum to make the others suspicious. That was Paige's job to worry after all. "Yeah, it's beautiful, but did anyone remember to bring any food?"

Lia couldn't help but nod to Paige's assessment of Callum. It was true. When he wanted to be alone, it was best not to poke the bear. She sighed, rubbing her hands together to keep them warm. She watched her friend get up to rummage through the cooler. She couldn't help but perk up a little at that. She was starving, even after eating dinner earlier. "Thanks." She said taking the sandwich. She opened the zip lock and arranged the sandwich before biting into it.

She looked up at Paige when she noticed her friend was still standing near her and watching her. She nodded, quickly swallowing the bite she had taken. "Uh... sure." She got up, heading away from the campfire so the others wouldn't hear whatever Paige was worrying about.

"What's up, chickadee?" Amelia asked, taking another bite of her sandwich. She chewed quietly, really having no idea what was on Paige's mind. Hell, her mind hadn't even really drifted in the direction Paige was thinking of. "Did I do something?" She asked, hoping Paige wasn't suspicious about how close she and Callum had gotten over the last month and a half.

"No, you didn't do anything." Paige said though she seemed to be beating around the bush about something. Amelia nodded her head, taking another bite out of her sandwich. That's when Paige decided to continue. "I'm just worried about you. You seem to be eating more than usual... Um, are you pregnant?"

That amazing sandwich she had been eating became a choking hazard. She coughed, spitting the sandwich out onto the ground. She took wheezing breaths. She tried to assess what her friend said. Why would her friend think that? What did she look fat? Sure, she had been eating more but she was hungry. And so what if she had been sick here and there. That was normal... wasn't it? She tried to count when she should have her period. Just when she had come to a date, a scream rung out.

"Was that Callum?" Paige asked and took off running.

Amelia dropped the sandwich and took off after her friends, sure she was nowhere near as fast as Paige but Callum was in danger. She would always help him. "Callum!" She yelled out, hoping he'd call out for them. But he didn't. And soon she slowed when she saw Paige. She was panting by now. "What do you mean you couldn't find him? ... He wouldn't just take off... No one would hurt him... right?" She said, looking from Paige to Tristan to Thomas.

She shook her head, pulling out her cell phone. She dialed 911 and put it on speaker phone. "911, what's your emergency?"

"My name is Amelia Sparrow. My friends and I are at Rosewood Lake. Callum Davidson was with us and we heard him scream and we can't find him. Can you please send someone to help us?" She said, her teeth were chattering not from the cold but from nerves.

Thomas listened to the question asked towards him by Amelia then shrugged his shoulders. "I told him I was coming back to the camp. He said that he'll be alright by himself." He reached over in the cooler and grabbed a drink, popping the tab open and taking a sip. At that time, Amelia and Paige went off to have a private conversation with one another and then it was just him and Tristan. He chuckled at Tristan's question then shook his head. "I don't know, man but it must be important since they got to walk off." He snickered while glancing at Amelia and Paige, turning back around and shaking his head, taking another sip of his drink.

His ears twitched after he heard a loud scream, which also caused him to spit out his drink. He immediately raised himself up from his seated position and ran right after Paige but stopped. "Yeah, you guys go ahead." He was tall but a bit out of shape and couldn't run as fast as the others. When Paige returned and said that she couldn't fine Callum, everyone was practically freaking out.

"What?! He has to be out there." Thomas yelled slightly just as Amelia started to dial 911. He started pacing from side to side, breathing a little bit heavily to hold back the tears and the possible thought that his friend could've been murdered. "This has to be one of his jokes, right? It has to be." Thomas stopped in his tracks and eyed everyone.

One Year Later
Amelia pulled into a parking spot in her brand new 2014 Scion xB, a gift from her parents. She didn't turn off her car just yet. She let her stereo continue to blare out "I Know Places" by Taylor Swift. She pulled down her visor and opened the mirror so she could check her makeup. In the past year, it wasn't just her style that had changed.

She used to be almost a hippy. Her style was now more of a rocker chick. She had a leather jacket on over an almost sheer red button down blouse with skulls and roses on the pattern. She wore a mini skirt with lacy stockings. She turned off her car and put her visor up. She opened her car door, shifting and putting her boot clad feet on the concrete. She grabbed her bag and walked away from her car, locking the car with the car remote.

It had been one year since she had been back in this school. After Callum disappeared, her parents thought it would be best if she went off with her mother for her job. She also had to help out her mother who was pregnant with twins. She spent her sophmore year at some hick school in Montana.

Even though they could have come home after school in May, Lia didn't come back to Rosewood until June. And until school started she was trapped in the house with her parents and her three siblings. The newest were born in March and were twin boys. Simon and Thomas. They were adorable and that's basically all Lia did every day.

Her parents were stricker than ever but they didn't mind her changing her style or dying her hair black. Over the past year, she only communicated with her friends through emails, texts, and phone calls. She wanted to keep in contact more but she had been too busy with her new life. She missed them and Callum like crazy. But there had still been no word from him. No one knew where he went. She had a sinking feeling that she'd never see him again.

The now raven hair girl heard her text message go off. She put in her locker combination then grabbed her phone.

I don't remember you being that stacked. Was that plastic surgery or something else? -c

She rolled her eyes. "Perv." She was about to shove her phone back in her purse when she read it again. C? Did that stand for Callum? Her heart began to race. She looked around the hall but he wasn't there. No one was even looking in her direction. Apparently they didn't recognise her new look.

She grabbed her books and hurried off to English class, shoving her phone in he purse. She took a seat near the back, not wanting any eye on her. She dug through her bag for a pen while her mind raised. She hadn't told him. She never had a chance. He disappeared before she knew anything.

Lia hadn't seen Tristan on her way into school. By the time she made her way into class, she had been so wrapped up in the text, she hadn't noticed who she sat next to. She just liked to sit in the back next to the window. She was digging out a new notebook- she had a lot she was addicted to school supplies- when she heard someone say her name.

She was still leaning over when she looked up to see who it was. She was nearly face to face with her old best friend Paige. "Oh, hey, Paige. How are you?" She asked, giving her a smile though it wasn't as bright as it once had been. She straightened up, putting the notebook and a pin on her desk with her English book.

Her raven hair fell in her face as she looked down at her book. She never used to be this self conscious. She just felt like all of her secrets were on her face and Paige would be able to guess them all. She glanced to the front of the class but the teacher wasn't there yet. She gave a sigh. She did see Tristan coming in though. She blushed, running her hand through her hair. It had been awhile since she saw him.
