❝𝐈'𝐌 𝐆𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐀 be late. ❞ Giggles leave the mouth of sixteen-year-old Sadie Beaumont as her boyfriend pulls her back into his embrace, pulling her to stand between his legs as her arms draped over his shoulders, a smile tugging on her lips.

"Or, you can just stay here while Will is at the hospital, and we can play house." Jason DiLaurentis smirked up at the blonde in his arms, his hands resting on the back of her thighs.

"Hmm, you'd like that, wouldn't you?" Sadie grinned.

"Very much." He mumbled as their lips brush against his lips as he rests his forehead against hers, "How does he always have such good timing?"

"He just knows."

"Sadie! Tell Jason to get the hell out of my house while I'm gone!" Will's voice calls through the door, his knocking growing louder.

The blonde rolls her eyes as she moves out of Jason's hold and opens her bedroom door, resting her hands on her hips as she looked at one of her older brothers with an annoyed look on her face, "Don't you have a shift at the hospital that you're gonna be late for?"

"I just wanted to tell you to be careful tonight, please." Will looks down at his little sister with a worried look on his face, "The storm is supposed to get bad tonight, and if it gets too terrible, I want you to call Jason to bring you home."

"Oh, my God! I've already been over this with Jason! Both of you drive me crazy with house overprotective the two of you and Jesse are!" She shakes her head as she turns around to crab her cell phone on the night stand, and a black hoodie off of her computer desk chair.

     "Baby, we care about making sure you're safe." Jason follows her out of the room as Will shakes his head with a soft smile on his face before following the two of them towards the front door.

     "Yes, and I love both of you for that." Sadie turns to look at both of them, "But seriously, I can take care of myself."

    "We know that, Sadie James." Will tells her. "Let Jason walk you to the barn? I would feel better if you let him go with you since it's on the way back to his house."

     Sadie sighs, "Okay, fine."

     "Thank you." Will kisses her forehead as the three step out on the porch. "I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow night when I get off."

     "I love you too, Will."

𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃 across the dark night sky, with thunder following quickly as Sadie pushes open a set of old and creaky barn doors belonging to that of the Hastings family.

     Stepping inside, and closing the doors shut behind her, she pulls down the hood from her head, shaking out the few raindrops that managed to land on her head.

The barn was just as plain on the inside as it was on the outside, with old couches and chairs scattered around, blankets thrown to the side for the slumber party between the six best friends.

"Ugh, have I ever mentioned how much I hate storms?" The blonde spoke, gaining the attention of four of her five friends, the "leader" of the group being absent among the girls.

"Ugh, just about every time that it storms, or just showers." Spencer Hastings laughed as Sadie took the empty seat next to Emily, "What took you so long to get here? You live two houses down."

"You know how Will is." Sadie rolls her eyes as she pulls the sleeves to Jason's hoodie down over her hands, "He literally texted Jason to walk me over here since he didn't want me walking the storm."

"Then is the hoodie that you're wearing your brother's, or is it Jason's?" Hannah pipes up, a smirk on her face as she moves her eyebrows around in a teasing manner. "Or is it that older guy that you won't tell us about?"

All of the girls knew the way of Sadie Beaumont. The blonde was the only one in the group that actually had friends outside of their small group, friends that were older than they were. And with having older friends, came finding older men more attractive than guys her own age.

The five knew about Sadie's relationship with an older male, one they didn't know — or thought they didn't know. They didn't know his name, his age, or ever what he looked like even though they had seen him a thousand times before.

Sadie looks down at the black fabric that was two sizes too big on her, "I found this in the back of my closet. I needed something to throw on before I came over here—,"

A small — and sudden — bang interrupts the conversation between the girls, causing them to all jump as the sound echoes throughout the barn.

Aria turns her flashlight on, peering nervously around the old building. "Something is out there."

"Guys." Hanna stood terrified.

"It was probably just the wind." Sadie says from her place on the couch while the other girls had jumped up from their seats, "Or it's Alison fucking with all of us."

The barn doors open slowly with a slight creek before the sound of something breaking off in the distance was heard, the window blowing harshly around them.

"That's not just the wind." Aria hisses quietly, the four girls staying close to each other as Sadie picked at her painted red nails that really needed to be redone.

"Gotcha!"

Four of the five girls let out ear shattering screams as Alison DiLaurentis jumps out from behind the wooden doors, a laugh leaving her lips at their scared reactions.

"Not funny, Alison!" Spencer glared at the blonde that had finally joined her and the others.

"I thought it was hilarious, girls." Alison's eyes scanned over the four before her gaze stops on the only other blonde in the circle of friends, eyeing the familiar hoodie that she was wearing, "Though, I can't believe I didn't scare you, Sadie."

"Hmm," Sadie shoots the younger girl a sarcastic smile, sending her middle finger up soon after, which was quickly shoved away by Spencer, "Nothing about you scares me, Alison."

"Ali, did you download the new Beyonce?" Hannah questions as they all take their seats again.

Alison shakes her head, lips pulled into a small pout, "Not yet."

Emily smiles, pulling her legs up to her chest, "I'm loving her new video."

"Maybe a little too much, Em." Alison smirks, leaning forward to take the red cup that rested on the table in front of them, "Your turn, Aria."

Aria takes the cup without hesitation, chucking the liquor down quickly, which sent the small group into a fit of giggles.

"Careful, Aria. Take too much, and you'll tell us all your secrets." Spencer laughs, sending the Montgomery girl a teasing smile.

"Friends share secrets." Alison sends a sharp look towards Sadie, who only raises an eyebrow at the blonde, "That's what makes us close. Drink up!"

❝𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐉𝐔𝐒𝐓 couldn't stay away, could you?❞ Jason smirks as he pulls open the door to his bedroom, taking a couple of steps back into the room as his girlfriend walks inside, closing the door behind her.

     "I can't stay long." Sadie tells him, pushing Jason onto his bed and straddling his hips.

     "Who says I'm letting you leave this time?" The green-eyed boy grins, handing slid up the skin of her bare legs, the short sleeping shorts being covered by his hoodie on her body, "You're mine, sweetheart."

     "Shut up." She laughs, crashing her lips onto his.

𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐈𝐍 the barn, Aria stirs awake, her hazel eyes adjusting to the lit candles that were all around the barn. Glancing around, she takes notice of the girls still sleeping ─── all except for Alison, Sadie and Spencer. Aria pushes her black and pink hair out of her face, leaning over to shake Emily awake.

"Where's Ali, Spencer and Sadie?" Hanna questions, looking around the barn for the three missing girls.

"We don't know." Aria stands up from the ground with a shake of her head, walking towards the barn doors to see if they were standing outside, "Ali?"

"She's gone." Spencer walks towards the barn doors, a far off look in her eyes.

"What do you mean "she's gone"?" Questioned Aria.

"I've looked everywhere for her." Spencer tells him as Emily and Hanna share a scared look, "I think I heard her scream."

"Somebody call Sadie."

𝐀 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇 had come and gone since the disappearance of Alison DiLaurentis, and many things had changed. Aria moved to Iceland, the girls had slowly drifted away from each other, and now Sadie was packing to leave Rosewood herself.

     "So, you're moving away now?"

     Sadie looks up from putting her last t-shirt into the suitcase laid out on her bed to find Spencer, Emily and Hanna standing in her doorway. "Will thinks it'll be good for me to get away from awhile."

     "Hey, Sades." Jason walks into a room, shuffling on his feet awkwardly as the three girls turn to look at him with surprised looks on their faces, "Oh, I didn't know you have girls here."

     "Jason? Aren't you supposed to be with your parents?" Spencer asked as he scratched the back of his head

     Sadie clears her throat as she zips up the suitcase and moved to hand it over to Jason, who gives her a half smile before he walks out of the room, "Uh, Will and Jesse want me to leave, but he didn't know where to send me and Jesse's hours in Chicago are crazy. Ironic, huh? Come on, let's go catch up with him and Will."

     The four girls walk out of the bedroom, down the stairs, and out of the house. Will and Jason stand next to Jason's car, both with serious looks on their faces as the two of them talk.

     "How long are you gonna be gone for?" Emily asked with a frown.

     "I'm not sure." She shrugs, "I guess until Will lets me come home. But we can try to keep in touch with each other."

     "I hope we can."

     "SJ, you and Jason need to hit the road if you want to get to Philadelphia before the sun goes down." Will calls out to his little sister, not really wanting to interrupt the best friends.

     "We'll miss you, Sadie." Hanna is the first one to bring the blonde into a hug, the other two girls following as tears built up in all of their eyes.

     "I'll miss you guys, too." She tells them as she pulls away, "I guess this is goodbye."

     "No, it's not goodbye." Spencer shakes her head as she wipes the tears from her face, "It's a 'see you later'."

    "Spence is right." Emily nods, "This isn't goodbye, Sadie. We'll all be back together again."

     "Let's hope it's before we're all dead." Hanna chuckles sadly.

     "Bye." Sadie whispers as she turns and walks towards Jason's car, getting in the passenger seat.

     Three girls watch as the car slowly pulls out of the driveway, pulling away as they hug each other.

    Will smiles sadly at the three, "Don't worry, Sadie is going to be fine with the DiLaurentis'. They'll take care of her, and she'll home in no time. Go home, the three of you."

𝐉𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐒 over at the blonde as he drives, glancing back at the road as he reaches over to intertwine their fingers together, resting their hands on her thigh, "You okay?"

Sadie looks over at him, moving her gaze from the familiar town to her boyfriend, "I'm gonna be."

"Good." He brings their hands up to his lips, kissing her hand as he did so, moving them to rest on her thigh once again. "Well get through this, Sadie James. Together."

"Together."
