She's hiding a secret. A lot of secrets, to be more precise. Secrets that will tear families apart, put targets on her back, and expose her for what she really is: a liar, someone not to be trusted.
Nylah Argent doesn't know what to do or which way...
I spend the rest of my seven days of spring break trying my best to be isolated from my family. I'd go out to the library for the day, train for hours in the shed, or lock myself away in my room, wallowing in grief and aggravation. Obviously I still have to see them, I live with them. We just don't exchange many words.
I don't dare to make contact with Isaac out of the fear that dad and Gerard will somehow track him back to Erica, Boyd, and Derek's railway cab.

On Monday morning, after I've got ready for school, I switch my phone on for the first time since last Sunday evening — the day where we were all at the police station, being held hostage by Matt.
Baby? You okay? Just know I'm thinking of you... I'm sorry about your mom. — Isaac :), Sunday 22:11
Thanks for what you did for my dad and me. He's very confused about everything but appreciates your help a lot. — Stilinski :), Sunday 22:38
Hey, what's going on with Allison? — Scott, Sunday 23:02
Derek just got back. He told me about Matt and what he did... that's traumatic. What a prick. You okay, Nylah? — Isaac :), Sunday 23:15
Hey girl! I was thinking we should go out shopping sometime? Let me know when you're available. xoxo — Lydia, Monday 11:27
Dad got his job back! — Stilinski :), Monday 13:59
Nylah? What's going on? Why isn't your phone on? You alright? — Isaac :), Monday 14:26
Where are you? Allison, Gerard and I are going out to find Derek. — Dad, Monday 15:15
... — Lydia, Monday 17:48
Um... Nylah... dad found more photos on Matt's laptop of you and Allison and he's photoshopped himself into them... like, kissing you and holding your hands and stuff🤨🤨🤢🤢 — Stilinski :), Tuesday 08:41
Nylah, I don't know what's going on but I hope you're okay. I would come to see you but Derek said no🙄🙄 — Isaac :), Tuesday 09:03
Yo Nylah, you good? — Stilinski :), Wednesday 16:38
Nylah I'm getting worried. — Isaac :), Wednesday 18:29
What's up? — Scott, Thursday 19:08
Nylah, what's going on? You okay? Nothing else has happened, has it? — Isaac :), Friday 07:21
I just heard about your mom... I'm so sorry. I thought this might cheer you up a bit :)
