Landon's POV

"Oh my gosh, Lilac!" I continued pounding on her door. "Hurry the f up! How long does a girl need."

I continued knocking. And knocking.

"Lilac?" I stayed silent. "I'm going in. Whether you're in here or not."

I swung open the door and found an empty room. The bed was made.

Stupid me. She probably already left to go to school without me.

I shrugged and left.

"Ride?" Will pulled up beside me.

"It's. Literally around the corner, William."

"Eh."

I shrugged and entered the car.

"Where's the flower."

"Probably at school already. Drive."

He nodded and drove.

"I'm really sorry she doesn't even know you. It's sad."

His hand tightened on the wheel. "Not your fault. It's Owen's. If he hadn't fled, I would've of killed him by now." His knuckles were white as he gripped the wheel tighter and he was angry.

"Calm down. She's fine. It'll come back to her."

He parked in the parking lot.

"Let's go find her." He slammed the door closed.

I opened the door. "Probably in the library." I snorted.

"You would be too. But you're the dumb twin."

I gasped. "How dare you!"

We both laughed and entered the school.

We looked. And looked. The library. Cafeteria. All her classes.

We checked in with Aria. And Nina. And a bunch of other people.

I started to panic. "She wasn't home!"

"Calm down. Now is not the time for panic. Just check in with the office."

We made it to the office.

"Did Lilac Austin come to school?"

The lady slowly. So very slowly.. started typing.

"Hmm." She rubbed her chin slow.

I tapped my foot. "UGH! TYPE FASTER!"

"Shhhhh." She held her finger to her lip. "She's marked absent. No one has seen her."

Will ran his hands through his hair.

"Thank you." My heart raced. Please don't be doing something stupid, Lilac.

"Where the fuck is she.."

Ring

I pulled my phone out.

"Dad!"

"Lilac's gone."

"Yeah I kinda realized that."

"Come home. Now."

I hung up. I looked at Will. "I have to go."

"I'm coming."

I nodded and we both left.

About an hour before all that

Lilac's POV

I left the house as quietly as I could be. I closed my eyes and breathed in the cold morning air that was damp.
