Close Secrets

One Year Later......

A year ago we were questioned by the police. A year ago Amy went missing. No one knows where or if she's still alive. But the fact that she is or isn't alive haunts our friendships. Claire moved away and should be back later on through the year.
Marilyn turned popular and made Nerdy Montana her new best friend by changing her appearance. Together they got what they wanted. Then Marilyn picked up a thing for shoplifting because she thought her dad would have to come back to her mom to keep her out of trouble. I started working hard in school to be a lawyer and to get into one of the best schools in the world to get a good degree and get a great job. Rachel on the other hand started working at the Cream Shop after school to improve her chance into of getting her own way to live since her parents struggled with money since her mom lost her job and her dad went into the military and comes home about four times a year.
So we all separated after fights and arguments it's just her disappearance that made us separate nothing else.
Today was normal. I went to school until three. I hung out at the library to do school assessment research - the usual. I walked to school and the library since I let my sister, Kara borrow my car since hers broke down and was getting fixed. I walked home eating a protein bar when I bumped into a police officer. When I looked up police cars and sirens were every where in front of Amy's driveway. I stood there quietly and waited four hours.
The police we taking pictures news reporters were everywhere. A black car pulled over across the street from me and I realized it wasn't just any car. It was Claire's car. She got out the car and stood there looking around until she spotted me. After she spotted me she ran over to me and gave me a hug.
"I didn't know you were back." I said.
"I just got back today." She said.
"What's going on." She asked.
"I don't know." I answered.
We walk over to the house and to ask what happened or have someone explain it to us. When we got closer to the door we saw Marilyn.
"The groups back." She smiled with tears.
"Amy's alive!" I said shockingly.
"No they found a body." She cleared up some.
Wow we stood there for a minute with nothing to say. Mrs.benson was so upset about Amy missing she moved out of LongWay after her divorce from Amy's father.
The group is back together it's too late to let go unless we all turn up like Amy. Friends are really meant to be friends until the end now I understand why.
