"Who's sending you so many text messages?"

"Uh, it's just Jake, he wants to know what we're doing for our language arts project." I lied, "But I told him it could wait."

"Oh, well, I'm gonna go get a water." Riley shrugged, getting up from her seat before she left the room.

"I hate this waiting." I grumbled, "If something goes wrong Riley is never going to forgive us."

"It won't, but if it would she'd forgive us. But it won't." Brooke lamely tried to reassure both Emma and I.

Suddenly a loud ring filled the room, startling the three of us, but we all let out relieved sighs when we realised it was just Brooke's phone.

"Jesus, when this is over, we need a spa day." She mumbled, grabbing her phone from the chair beside her, "Oh, um, it's my dad, I'll be back."

Brooke silently left the room, the only sound being made was her high heels clicking against the linoleum floors. It stayed that way for a while, the only sound being people's feet hitting against the floor as they walked past the small office Emma and I both sat in.

"I know those messages weren't about the language arts project..." Emma whispered softly, a slight smirk played at her lips, "He likes you, you know?"

"I highly doubt it." I laughed, "This is Jake we're talking about, he's probably just trying to get into my pants."

"If you say so."

Riley let out a sigh of anguish as she strolled back into the room, throwing herself down onto one of the rickety wooden chairs.

"Riles, talk to us." Emma pleaded, "What are you thinking about?"

"Besides Tyler?" Riley asked, "Noah. We were having this amazing time, and I just bailed! Jake's right, it was harsh... I just, I really like him guys."

"I don't blame you." I smiled, "Noah's a really sweet guy. You guys are good together, trust me, he'll give you another chance."

"Tyler set them up!" Maggie swung the door open, a mixture of desperation, pain and angst taking over her face, "He didn't show."

"B-But he said he would."

Emma took a few steps across the sheriff's station, her eyes not meeting ours, she froze for a few seconds before rapidly spinning around, her eyes filled with fear.

"Where's Brooke? Where the hell is she?"

"So what's the plan?" Riley wondered

"You and I are going to stay here and wait incase Brooke comes back whilst Emma and her mom are going out to look for her."

"I'm so nervous... First Tyler goes missing, then Brooke?" The brunette girl ran her hands over her face, "What is she's dead?"
