Taylor Pov
  I was determined to find out where  they took Diane. I was going to do whatever it took to get her back..
I had to find out what I did. Think Taylor  think! Ugh. All I remember is Haden.. her brother Andrew killed himself. But I don't think I had anything to do with that. That's the only bad thing that happened since  last year. At least, I think. But I wasn't going to let this take over my whole life. Sure  I had to save my best friend but I needed to figure  out how, which meant I needed time to think. I decided to take a quick nap before I went to the mall. It was Saturday  so I was planning to hang out with daisy.  I took off my clothes and put on pajamas  to make it look like I had been here the whole night and rolled around in bed to make my hair messy.
***********Time Skip***************
"Taylor wake up!" My mom yelled. I woke up to see her brown hair above my face.
"Oh hey mom, how was your trip?"
She looked at me confused but then she registered what I said.
"O..oh that.. Um it was good!"
Something was wrong. I could tell.
"Mom..where's dad?"
She looked like she was about to cry.
"He...hes.. Um he had to stay a bit extra for work."
"Why do you look like your about to cry?" She looked away quickly.
"I'm just really tired and I was hoping he would come back with me."
She got off my bed and didn't look back.
"He will be back in 5 days. Breakfast is on the table."
And with that she walked out my room. I could tell something was wrong, she's never like this.
I went downstairs and took a bagel so my mom wouldn't notice I already ate.
"MOM I'M GOING TO THE MALL WITH DAISYYY." I screamed out to her.
"OK HONEY, BE BACK BEFORE SUNSET!" she screamed back and I left. I took out my headphones and listened to the first song that came on my Spotify playlist.

Yeah, I'm a Weirdo I know. I don't really like pop so...yeah.
I kept walking till I saw someone in a hoodie. I screamed and they turned and looked at me. Just a random lady in a hoodie. God. I switched the song thinking I was just paranoid  and this song usually helps

I looked down at my brown combat boots. I felt a bit better.. but still not safe outside. All I could think about was poor Diane. What if I did do something, something.. bad? I let go of that thought as I walked into a car.
"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE  GOING YOUNG LADY!" I held up my hand in a way of saying sorry and scurried away. I was getting close to the mall and I knew daisy would be in the bookstore next to the cafe. I went into the mall and quickly walked to the bookstore. I went down her favorite aisle, Horror\Mystery and looked for her.
"Daisy?" I called out to nobody
I looked around the store hoping she would be here, but she wasn't.  She always is.

       Hey daisy, where are you?-Taylor

*2 min later*

Daisy- Oh, sorry I'm late.. a road was blocked so I had to walk around it. Be there in like 3 min ok?

    Um okay Daisy. See u here. -Taylor
************************************
I sighed and turned of my phone.
She's never late. This is really weird. I went back to the Horror/Mystery section and looked at the books. There was something odd about one with the title of 'Turn around.' I decided it would be funny to turn around, so I turned and saw another book that said 'OPEN for business.' So I took the book and opened it and a letter fell out:
                            Taylor~
Hello dearest love, it's me again, well.. us. I hope you enjoy your time with your friend. Remember, your other is with us.

I flipped out and started to walk backwards still holding the note when I bumped into something, or someone.

"S-sorry.." I turned around to see a familiar  face staring at me, Daisy.
"What's that in your hand Taylor?"
I looked down  at the note and saw Diane  with knives pointed at her.

"Um.. nothing. What you up to?"
She laughed at my awkwardness  and pointed out that I was blushing.

"Was it a love letter?" I viciously shook my head.
"Let's go get coffee or something." I nervously  said trying to change the  subject. Her hazel eyes stared into my soul and then she just nodded.
As we were walking out of the bookstore I got a text, from nobody other than king Gale himself.
************************************
Gale- I know what happened to you last night and you need to watch out..

Leave me alone. I don't need your sh!t today gale.- Taylor

Gale- no.. you don't  understand! It's daisy. 
 
             What about her gale??-Taylor

Gale:  She's one of them.
