*Nicki's P.O.V*

We left at 5 am, so everyone had a good sleep and we headed out. We are almost at the beach and we are all shaking. I really hope she's okay, I mean, I was a complete mess after Trevor broke my heart.. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I walk to the park where Trevor and I usually hang out.We like to scare the little children who come near the swings. We would have the time of our lives, never got bored and always knew what to talk about. I walked around then decided to head back to the swings. I fiddled with the necklace he got me for our one year anniversary, I absolutely loved it! I walked over to he swings and there, on the tree, I found a girl pressed against it by Trevor. Full on make out, full on hands. They stopped for a breather and Trevor looked at me then dropped her.

"Nicki.. I-"

"Save it!" I yelled and ran off. I ran as far as I could, just so I could break down and cry. I ripped the necklace off my neck and stuffed it into my pocket. After I cried for a good two hours, I decided t head back home. I walked slowly.. That's until I heard shooting. I looked behind me and there they were. Trevor and his gang. I felt and arm pull me back and it was my dad. He pulled my behind him and stood in front of Trevor.

"Don't come near her or the family...or else!" He raged. But all I could hear was my father's sweet voice running through my head. Another gun was fired and that's when I found my dad on the ground.

"DAD! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" I screamed. Kate heard my scream and ran out the door. She saw my dad on the ground and started crying, she quickly dialled 911 and I was yelling at Trevor.

"I HATE YOU! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" I screamed in his face .

"Nicki...Nicki please!" He kept trying to talk to me but I'd shut him down every time. The tears blurred my face, and the Sirens defend my ears. Everything became still, and since that day, I've lost myself.

"Nicki? NICKI WILLAMS?!!" A voice shouted. I snap out of my thoughts and realize it's Tucker. We finally made it. We parked the car and stepped out into the warm breeze of the beach. I haven't been to the beach in such a long time, I miss it too much.

"Where on earth are we gonna find her?!" Shawn asks

"Look for a small cabin, her and her parents used to come and stay at the beach a lot in the summer, they have their own Brown cabin!" Aria explained. We all split up and decided to meet back at the car in two hours. That gave us enough time to find her and bring her back. Aria and I decided to look together and we all set out.

"Do you think we'll find her?" I asked aria and she nodded

"Probably, she really isn't the best at hiding. But, convincing her to come back is going to be a big problem!" She replied

"Why? I mean, Blake didn't kiss Tieyla.. She'd understand, right?"

"Maybe, I guess. I mean she never really liked someone that much. She used to like Ryder but not as much as she likes Blake,"
The
"SHE LIKED RYDER?!" I yelled out. Aria smiled and nodded but told me not to tell anyone, or else Shay would have us hanged. We continued to talk and look for Shay, until Aria crashed into a wall. Man, I see how her and Shay are related. I helped her off the ground and knocked on the door.

"WHO IS IIITTT?!" A voice -definitely not Shay's- said.

"It's um, Nicki-Nicki Williams, and Aria Montgomery." I said.

"Ooooo Montgomery! Come on come in!" The voice said as the door opened. There stood a guy and Shay.

"Hey guys!" She said.

"Oh NONONO ! Do not 'hey guys' us! I come here to California and you disappeared! My baby cousin disappeared because of that dumb boy! I punched him and broke his nose for you. Next time, don't leave...EVER! We are here for you and just..I'm sorry I was worried!" Aria said and I was amazed. I guess every bad girl has a good side when it comes to certain people. Shay hugged Aria for a brief second.

"You know I don't like mushy stuff!" Aria laughed and let go of the hug. Shay hugged me and we sat on her bed and she explained who the guy was, his name is Bret and he is gay! I already like him, this guys is way too funny.

"Bret...Bret thinks Ryder likes me..." She finally let out and we smirked.

"DID YOU JUST REALIZE THAT!" Aria yelled out.

"Wait, you all knew?!" Shay seemed surprised.

"yeah we all did. I don't know how Aria knows but it's pretty obvious!" I replied winking.

"But Blake ...?" She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Great guy and all, it wasn't his fault but I mean still. Ryder likes you!" Aria replied.

"That's true but I don't know!! Ugh man!" She said flopping on the bed.

"Shay? More people are here!" Bret called out. The guys were at the door and Bret welcomed them in. They all talked to Shay and explained her the story. She acted normal and it seemed like she didn't know about the whole Ryder situation. I smiled and we all laughed and Shay seemed better. We all became such good friends with Bret and we learned much about him but I really just wanted to go home. The memories were killing me and I still don't know why. Shay getting hurt, sucked them all back in and I just couldn't handle it.

"Nicki? Are you alright?" A voice said.

"Hmm?" I replied turning my head and it was Tucker.

"Nicki I have a question? Do you like Mil-" he got cut off by a crash in the kitchen.

"Sorry! I'm done, let's go home! BYE BRET!!" Shay said as we all walked out the door. I knew what Tucker was asking me, but I shoved that thought all the way in the back of my head and we headed home.

*SHAY's P.O.V*

We finally made it home and it really felt good. I was planing and going to see Blake but everyone told me to wait, and they were right, I was still hurting. Everyone went home and it was just Aria and I. We were in the kitchen eating when she brought up Ryder.

"do you like him? Ryder I mean?" She suddenly asked.

"Not in that way, I mean I used to but that ended after he got a girlfriend!" I sighed. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

"You probably still like him! I can tell Shay, I'm like your sister," she stated rolling her eyes.

"From another mister!" I added. Just then, someone knocked on the door. Aria got up and answered, then quickly looked at me. I nodded telling her to let the person in, and that person who waltzed in was Evermore.
