I twirled around in my sky blue dress. It was a light and airy collection of ruffles. It billowed out when I spun. Hannah had given me a pair of silver wedges to go with it. I danced around the living room belting out Treat You Better.

I winked at the camera. "No audio." I mouthed.

Cameron walked out of the bathroom without a shirt on. "I see you're in a good mood." He rubbed his hair with a towel.

"How could I not be?" "This is a beautiful dress!" I danced over to him.

"Interesting song choice though." A crooked smile stretched across his face.

"Well, I could treat you a whole lot better than Hannah." I poked his chest. "Just imagine the fun we could have together." I teased.

"I won't disagree, I would prefer to be marrying you tomorrow and not Hannah."

"Oh by the way." I ran back to the living room and grabbed the paper off of the couch. I ran back to Cameron.

"How are you so freakishly good at running in those?"

"I've been practicing since I was like ten." I shrugged and opened the paper. I pointed at one of the stories. "This." I held the paper in front of Cameron. "Hannah usually cuts out any stories revolving around us being missing but she I guess forgot this morning." I pointed to a picture of a map of Nevada in the article. "They know we're in Nevada." I scanned the article. "See, they think we're somewhere in a seventy mile radius of this city."

"Do we know why they think that or if we are actually even in that area?"

I pointed to a grainy photo of a man. "Hannah's dad." "He's been going against Hannah's instruction and shopping at places with a lot of cameras." "He even went to a bar without the disguise on." I looked at Cameron. "Cam, he's trying to lead them to us!"

"Well, I hope it works." "I hope he doesn't get in too much trouble, I mean we know how Hannah can be."

"True." "But I don't think she's seen the story." "Maybe he's been able to hide it from her?"

"Or maybe she's just holding it in until after the wedding, her aunt did get here last night."

I stood up trying to measure myself against Cameron. "I'm almost as tall as you now."

"I know it sucks."

"Hey it's not that bad."

"I know, but I like being taller than you." He nudged my shoulder.

"Well you've still got a good two or three inches on me." I giggled and shoved him. "Come on, Hannah's supposed to be coming and getting you soon."

"Yeah, I gotta get dressed." He walked over to the clothes chest. He held up a Chino High shirt. "For old time's sake?"

"Hey, if you want to deal with Hannah, be my guest." I walked up to him and held the shirt in my hands. "I remember the first time I wore this shirt."

"So long ago." "That was the first night I had to go without you." He sighed and pulled the shirt over his head.

"Yeah, that was the day after I spent my first night in the closet." I sighed and turned around looking at the room around us. "So crazy where we've gone in the last five months."

"It was nothing short of eventful." "But, at least I got to know you."

I turned around to face him and smiled softly. "Yeah, at least I got to be here with you."

"I love you, Kate, I hope you know that whatever happens tomorrow doesn't change that."

I nodded and walked over to the corner of the room to take off my shoes. "I better change out of this dress, I have to save it for tomorrow." A single tear ran down my cheek.
