"I'm going to Nolan's if you want to come." Mom says as I'm coming downstairs in white shorts and a light blue tank top. "Sure." I reply. We walk out to her convertible and head over to Nolan's. We pull into his driveway and I'm amazed. His house is huge and gorgeous. Mom and I get out of the car and walk up to the glass doors. "May I see some identification?" A big African American man asks. "It's ok big Ed, it's just a former friend. You can take five, just don't go too far." Nolan tells the man. Wait what happened? Former friend? "You hired a body guard?" Mom asks. "You would too if Frank had almost blown your knee caps off. As peculiar as it may sound I happen to like my life." Nolan replies. "And so did my father until the Greyson's stole it where's your loyalty to him?" Mom asks. "Perhaps I could step back and take more of a consulting role." Nolan expresses. "Fine. I need you to hack into the hospitals computer files." My mom almost demands. "Lydia's in critical condition but she's still comatose. I couldn't help myself." Nolan says. "Good, that buys us some time to get back on track." Mom adds. "What horrible fate do you have in store for young Daniel?" Nolan asks mom. "Daniels not a target. You know that." She replies. "You know how much easier your life would be if you just dropped all this and went to go live happily ever after......with Jack? Unless of course you're actually falling for Daniel?" Nolan speaks. "You're just a consultant remember?" Mom asks before walking back downstairs and we get in the car and pull out of the driveway.

Mom drops me at home saying she's going to stop at Daniels and then go grocery shopping. I head upstairs and into my room. I get a text from Charlotte asking if I want to go shopping and I obviously except, I love shopping.

Charlotte picks me up a few minutes later. I'm so glad she can drive. "Ugh, my parents are making me go to their anniversary dinner tonight." She complains. That's one great thing about my parents not being together, no anniversary parties. "That sucks." I reply. Charlotte drives us to a strip of stores that fit both of our tastes perfectly, High end and gorgeous. We shop for a few hours but once we've gone through most of the stores we decide we should go. I get a text from my mom asking if I'm at home. I reply a quick no and put my phone back into my purse.

"I just have to stop at the Stowaway." Charlotte says walking down the boardwalk bags in hand. "I'm never eating oysters again." Charlotte says to Declan who's busy scooping them out of their shells. Declan lets out a small laugh. "Hey sorry. That's how we do it on the docks." Declan replies taking off his gloves and leaning in to kiss Charlotte. "Trying to single handedly restart the economy?" Declan asks us referring to our many shopping bags. "I find shopping therapeutic. My parents are making me come to their stupid anniversary dinner tonight so I figured the least they could do was treat me to a new dress, besides you'll need something to wear." Charlotte speaks handing Declan one of the bags. "To your parents anniversary dinner?" Declan asks surprised. "Please don't say no." Charlotte pleads. "To you no way, but I can dress myself." Declan replies handing the bag back to her.They are too cute. "Even better." Charlotte says taking the bag and kissing him before pulling me back the way we came.

"You guys are too cute." I tell Charlotte on the drive home. When we pull up to my house I say goodbye and exit the car.

I walk in through the front door and my mom is sitting on the couch with some dark haired lady I don't know. I set my purse and my shopping bags on the table and walk into the living room. "Hey Kate how was shopping?" Mom asks. "It was good." I reply questioningly. "Oh sorry this is my daughter Kate, Kate this is Melissa Andidson, she's doing a story on the Greyson's." Mom introduces us. I nod and give her a quick hello. I grab my bags and go up to my room.

After putting away all my new clothes in my closet I get a text from Josh asking if I want to hang out. I reply with a yes.

When Josh gets here my mom is already gone to who knows where. "Do you want to go swimming?" I ask. "I'd love to." Josh replies. We head upstairs to my room and get changed into our swim suits. I put on a black criss cross one piece. I grab towels from the closet in the hallway and we head out to the beach. "How is that thing comfortable?" Josh asks referring to my bathing suit. "I don't know but it leaves the worst tan lines." I half joke. "Well you could always take it off." Josh says wrapping his arms around my waist. "Shut up you perve." I laugh slapping his chest. We go for a swim and just play around in the water for a while.

When we go inside I suggest we play Xbox and of course Josh agrees, he is a teenage boy after all. I love video games especially the violent ones. My mom always tells me it's really unladylike but at this point I love them too much to quit. After we get dressed I turn on the Xbox in my room and put in Call of Duty. I hand Josh a controller and I sit down in between his legs. "How about we make this interesting?" I ask. "How so?" He questions raising an eyebrow. "Whenever you die you have to take off one piece of clothing and each time you kill someone else you get a kiss." I explain. "You're on, but you might just be naked by the end of this game, babe." Josh jokes. "We'll see about that." I argue and press play.

By the end of the game Josh is left in his boxers and I have all my clothes on minus my shirt. "I told you I'd win." I brag putting back on my shirt. "You don't need to do that." Josh says grabbing my shirt from me before I can finish putting it on.

The next morning I wake up with Josh's arm around me. I'm snuggled into his chest. "Good morning gorgeous." He says as I wake up. "How long have you been awake?" I ask rubbing my eyes. "About an hour." He responds. "Why didn't you wake me up?" "You just looked too cute." Josh says placing a gentle kiss on my lips. "I'm going to the Stowaway." Mom yells from downstairs. "Last night was probably one of the best." I say referring to the amazing sex we had last night. "Hell yeah it was, wanna make some breakfast?" Josh replies. "Sure but we might want to get dressed first." I add. I get out of bed in my light purple underwear and a matching bra. I take Josh's blue button up shirt and put it on. "Now what am I going to wear?" He asks raising an eyebrow. "Hmm I guess you'll just have to go shirtless." I mention grinning. "Guess so." He says also getting out of bed.

"You're coming with me to the Greyson's anniversary party tonight right?" I ask as we head downstairs. "Of course." He responds. "It's going to be interesting, Declan's coming as Charlottes boyfriend." "Wow." He replies. I hop up onto the counter. Josh pulls out eggs, bacon, and pancake mix. "You know me to well." I mention. He smiles in response and starts cooking.

Josh and I spend the whole day watching Pretty Little Liars. I started making him watch it a while ago and since then we've been watching it from the beginning on Netflix.

When it's time to get ready I put on a dress that I bought while shopping with Charlotte yesterday. This one has a gold sequin top and a flowy white skirt. Josh went back to his apartment to change and then he's going to come back and get me.

"Hey Charlotte." I say when Josh and I arrive at the Greyson's. I didn't realize this party is only their family, plus my mom, me, Josh, and Declan. Dinner goes by painfully slow. Declan blabbing his mouth about his older brother and my mom. Everyone ends up leaving the room besides Josh and I and Conrad and Victoria. This is awkward. "Thanks for having us and uh happy anniversary." I say to the Greyson's before standing up to leave and pulling Josh behind me.

"Well that was super awkward." I mention on the drive back to my house. "No kidding." Josh says back. When we get to my house we say our goodbyes and I give him a quick goodnight kiss. "I love you." I yell walking up to the door. "Love you too." He yells back. I unlock the door and walk in. I take off my heels and head upstairs ready for bed. I hear mom out in the porch talking to Daniel while I'm changing into pajamas.

Late at night I hear a knock on the door and quietly go downstairs to answer it. Mom had the same idea and was right behind me.

"Oh my god it's really you." Amanda Clarke (the fake one/ the real Emily Thorne) says pulling mom into a hug. Mom met Emily in Juvie. "We've got a problem, some guy named Frank figured out we switched names." Amanda continues. That's really not good especially if she's talking about Frank that works for the Greyson's. "Wait who is this?" She asks referring to me. "This is Kate, my daughter." Mom responds. "Oh my god you've grown up so fast." Amanda tells me pulling me into a hug. "Where is he?" Mom asks Amanda. "I took care of him, this is his phone. Victoria Greyson keeps calling." Amanda says. Mom takes out the battery of the phone. "Kate go back to bed." Mom orders. "But I'm apart of this." I argue. "Yeah but Amanda and I have to catch up so just please go back to bed." I finally agree and head back up to my room. Slowly I drift off to sleep thinking about our revenge plan.
