"Her and Caleb just broke up so no displays of affection in front of her." I tell him as we stop outside Hannah's house.

"I won't." He promises as Hannah rushes out of her house and to Logan's car.

"Hey Han, you okay?" Logan asks as she slides onto the back seat.

Of course.

My eyes bug, is he for real?

"Yeah." She gives him a tight smile. I send her a smile before ushering Logan to get moving.

"It was smart to bring Logan and a second car with you Grace." Hannah reassures me.

Once I spoke to Spencer on the phone and told her Logan wanted to come, she said it was smart.

I don't know if it is though.

I look up at Logan who's focusing on the road and wonder what he's thinking about.

I turn the volume of the CD Logan has playing up and of course it's still that country one.

No one really talks for the majority of the car ride.

The specific song plays from that night and I turn to look up at him.

He glances at me with the happiest smile.

"But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it, cause there's nothing, like your love to get me high." He sings in an awful country accent, sending me glances.

I laugh at the country accent he does and refrain from reaching for his hand.

"I love you." He mouths to me  and I nod back at him to tell him I love him too.

God.

This was the right choice.

He carries on singing the song and at one point he reaches out to gently take some mud from my hair.

When we reach the B&B we stop and get out, reuniting with the three other girls in Spencer's car.

The six of us head in to this abandoned yellow truck inn.

We push into one of the rooms that has clothes everywhere and a smashed window.

"What the hell happened here?" Hannah asks as the six of us look around.

I grip onto Logan's hand so hard.

My heart is thumping so loud I'm convinced everyone else can also hear it.

"Looks like some kind of struggle." Spencer says as her and Logan head to the window. I'm slightly behind them, gripping onto Logan's hand.

"I can definitely see Ali wearing this." Aria says.

I turn to see her holding up a floral top.

Fuck.

So can I.

"If Ali was here, where did she go?" Hannah asks.

"Maybe she fought A off and got away." Emily offers a bit of optimism.

"Yeah or he took her somewhere else." Spencer murmurs.

"Or worse." Aria adds.

The door creaks as it closes and I step closer to Logan.

There's like a carving on the back of the door.

You're too late
-A.

Logan locks up downstairs, checking it's locked before leading me up stairs to my bedroom.
