Emily's POV*

I dropped my phone on the ground and heard a large shattering noise. Oh shit.

I looked down and saw my phone on the ground, the screen completely cracked. Well what did I expect I did just fucked it on the ground.

I picked it up and wiped the dust off it. The person on the other end of the line was still there. "W-who are you?" I stuttered still in shock.

"Does it matter?"

"Tell me who the fuck this is" I said getting frustrated. "And how do you know Gemma"

"Meet me at the beach at 10 tonight"

"What if I don't?" I said. Why on earth would I agree to that. I don't know who this is. For all I know it could be a serial killer.

"If you don't, certain twins are gonna find out about life back home now aren't they. I mean they were bound to find out right?"

"I swear to god-"

"You won't do shit. I know to much. Now meet at the beach at 10 tonight. And bring your little friend Maddie too. Don't be late"

And with that the line went dead. I felt tears in my eyes but I wasn't going to let some unknown person get to me. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I have to tell Maddie.

I took another deep breath before turning on my heel and I began walking back inside. My legs felt like jelly as I walked in the door.

I sat back down and forced a smile on my face. "Who was that?" Simon asked me.

"Uh, it was just Gray" I lied throwing my phone on the table.

He quickly grabbed it and his eyes widened. "What happened?!" He said examining it.

"Uh I dropped my phone" I said nervously.

"And you say I'm the clumsy one" Maddie mumbled rolling her eyes.

I punched her in the arm. "Whatever"

"Well sorry to cut this short ladies but I've got work" Simon said standing up.

"Bye hoe" I said winking at him.

He laughed. "Hang with me tomorrow okay?" He said and we both nodded.

"Bye losers" he said waving at us as he walked away.

Maddie turned to me. "So tell me what really happened to your phone" she said raising an eyebrow at me.

"W-what are you talki-"

"Did you forget that I'm your best friend and that I can see right through you dummie" she said flicking me in the forehead.

"Now spill the beans" she said.

I sighed. "Fine I-"

"Wait. Did someone beat you up?! Do I have to hit a bitch. Because I will. I swear to god if someone-"

"Maddie relax! Jesus. No you don't have to do anything" I said laughing. This is why she's my best friend.

"Now let me speak woman" I said and she laughed.

"Proceed" she smiled at me.

"So I was sitting here and my phone started to ring. I walked outside to answer it but it was an unknown number. I answered it and the person on the other end said "I know your little secret Emily" " I started.

Madisons smile slowly faded as the last words left my mouth. "How did they-"

"I have no idea" I said sighing. "And then  they said "The name Gemma Marshal ring a bell" I said.

Her eyes widened. "Gemma Marshal as in from back home. The Gemma Marshal who made our lives a living hell. The Gemma Marshal who told us to fucking slit our wrists because we were a waste of space!" Maddie said running her fingers through her hair.

I nodded my head. "Yes that's the one. She must of told someone" I said.

"Well what are we gonna do. The twins can't find out. They'll think we're crazy!" She whisper yelled.

"I know that!" I said sighing. "They said meet them at the beach tonight at 10"

"Alright. You bring a kitchen knife and I'll try find some nunchucks. Sorted" she said clapping her hands and getting up.

I pulled her down by her wrists. "Maddie we're not bringing weapons! We're just gonna sort this out" I said trying to hold in my laugh.

"You're no fun" she said pouting. "But if they come at either of us I'm not hesitating to punch"

"Fine" I said rolling my eyes.

            * * *
*9pm*

"We should start getting ready" I said rolling off the bed.

"Ugh why" Maddie mumbled. My phone went off and I checked who texted me.

9:03pm
Gray: Hey haven't heard from you all day is something wrong?

9:04pm
Me: No nothings wrong. Just been busy

9:05pm
Gray: Ok good. You and Mads free to hang out? Me and Ethan need to talk to you two

9:06pm
Me: Can't maybe tomorrow

9:07pm
Gray: I feel like you're being distant. Is something up?

9:07pm
Me: Nothings wrong Gray. Don't worry about it. I'll see you tomorrow

9:08pm
Gray: okay

I sigh and throw my phone onto the bed. I bounced right off and landed on the floor again. You've got to be kidding me.

"Emily! Stop throwing your phone around" she said handing it to me. There was another crack.

"Sorry mom" I mumbled examining it.

Maddie rolled her eyes. "Get dressed were on a mission!" She said smacking my ass.

"Weirdo" I mutter but I guess she heard me because she kicked me in the ass again.

I rolled my eyes and laughed at her. I strolled over to the closet and took our a pair of white high waisted shorts and a black and white nike hoodie.

I threw the clothes on and slipped on my black converse. "Ready" I said as Maddie walked out of the bathroom.

"Ready" she repeated.

We both walked out and I locked the door.

I swung my arm around Maddie as we walked along to the beach. I was getting super nervous.

"What are we getting ourselves into" I said resting my head on her shoulder.

She chuckled nervously. "I have no idea" she said wrapped her arm around my waist.

We reached the beach and I noticed two figures sitting at a picnic benching. It was dark so I couldn't quite make out who they were. "That must be them" I whispered to Maddie.

She caught my gaze and stared right at them. She clenched her fists. "Let's go beat some-".

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "Mads this is serious" I said.

"Fine" She breathed. She grabbed my hand and gave me a quick squeeze.

I took a shaky breath and we walked over to the table.

"About time you showed up" Gemma said staring at us with her icy blue eyes, as soon as we reached them.

I rolled my eyes. "Nice to see you too Gemma" I snapped.

"Who's your friend?" Maddie asked pointing at the the person beside Gemma who's face was turned the other way.

They slowly pulled down their hood and turned their head around.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me" We both said at the same time.

Sorry this is so rushed.
