When Annalise Stark's mother died, her music went with her.
Now, she's the new girl all over again. Except she isn't just any new girl- because she is moving home. Sycamore Hille, her hometown; all to honor her mother's dying wish and return to her...
He went down first, and I followed. I looked below me towards Aiden, "I like how above and beyond we're going for this. We have commitment," it felt good to do something simple for once.
Aiden nods, "Felt that," it's a short climb down to the ground. The second his feet touched it he was sprinting, I did the same. I try the door and it pulls open, "Of course Ryan left his car unlocked." I comment as we climb into the middle row, ducking down low.
He made it so easy, almost too easy.
Aiden glances at me, "Ready?" I nod, confirming that the plan is a go. He hits the call button and it rings twice before Ryan picks up, we speak first. "Hey, Ryan. Where are you? Zach said something about my house?" Aiden says with a confused tone.
Ryan pauses, "Your house? I don't know what he's talking about." He laughs nervously, "I'm almost to Zach's house now, see you soon!" He quickly hangs up as if he was stuck in traffic or some other lame excuse.
I wheeze in between laughs as Aiden and I fistbump in victory, "Oh, oh here he comes," I point before we duck down even lower. Ryan climbs into the car quickly, cursing.
I glance and Aiden and he nods. I hold up my hand and count to three. On three we jump up screaming and grab Ryan resulting in him screaming like a twelve-year-old girl. "What the actual fucking hell, guys?" He yells when he realizes that it's just us.
We're rolling around on his seats in a fit of laughter, "S-Sorry, but we g-gotcha!" Aiden wheezes out in between each laugh.
Ryan crosses his arms over his chest, "Yeah yeah, so funny." He looks a bit pissy, but he's just mad because we got him better than he'll be able to get us.
I wipe a laughing-induced tear from my eye, "Where are the girls? They're missing this!" Ryan is honestly comedy gold sometimes, I wonder how he hasn't gone viral on some sort of social media app yet.
Aiden stops for a second, "You know, I have no idea. I haven't seen her in a while. But when she left she was wearing a very formal looking dress."
Ryan looks confused, "Wait, they're not here? Daphne said she was with Annalise. I assumed that Summer was with them as well. Where are they?" He chimes in.
We all look at each other in confusion before Aiden pipes up, "Well they're not here. But I did see Annalise leave in a formal-looking dress a while ago."
A formal-looking dress?
Ryan and I shared the same insane look as we stared back at Aiden, "Why is she wearing fancy clothing? Where did she go? Where are all of them?"
Aiden just looked blank, "You know Aiden, your girlfriend is missing too." I pointed out.
His face got all red, "She's not my girlfriend!" He climbed out of the car, red-faced as he headed back inside the house. I rolled my eyes, thank you, Aiden. That was so unbelievably comforting and endearing.
