Hour 17

Hour 17:
Ryan's POV

Meyer runs straight up to the spare room and throws the closet door open, he opens the box her shoes from that night are in and there we have it, the map

"We're so stupid, how did we not realise that?!" I almost yell, I'm so pissed at myself for being so thick, of course Sabrina's sweet 16 was Alice in wonderland how did we forget that

"You mean I'm stupid, I'm her boyfriend I should've remembered" he says and I barely hear him I'm just suddenly lost in my own mind, I feel like I've figured something out but for some reason I have no idea what

"No of course you're not Peyton it was just a stupid mistake but we know now and we can find it" he says sarcastically

"That's got to be significant, that party, A, everything, there got to be a reason he's chosen those things" I say having not even acknowledged what he just said

"But what?!" He asks getting riled up a little now

"I don't know maybe he's slipping up, maybe he's doing stuff that's making it easier to figure out who it is" I suggest

"This guys not stupid, anything leading to his identity will be dangled in our faces so it takes us forever but we'll eventually figure it out, maybe, but we probably won't even though we should and we couldn't prove it even if we did because he'd do it in such a way that only we would know it was him using either events that we cannot let get out at all costs or things that no one else will know and we cannot prove" he points out and I'm not sure if he was just rambling but what he was saying actually made a lot of sense

"But see unlike the characters he's trying to leave us as, we don't have a 'Jenna thing' for him to use against us" I say but his face turns cold

"Or do we?" He says in a tone that sends shivers down my spine

"What do you mean?" I ask

"You remember that prank don't you? The one that happened a few months after that party" he says quietly and I shudder

"We swore we wouldn't speak of it" I just want to change the subject

"Looks like someone may have decided differently" he says in such a creepy way

"We don't even know if they know about that" I reply trying to make it sound less terrifying

"But if they do then you know who's doing this" he replies calmly

"Lucas....."
