One night, Pepper arrives at his door step in the middle of the night and recruits him for an all-night, revenge road trip. Pepper discovers that her boyfriend has been cheating on her. The event gives Axel hope that he finally has a chance to develop a closer relationship with Pepper. He begins to learn how to assert himself and to take chances.
The next day Pepper does not come to school, and after a few days, some consider her missing, others just conclude she left for an undisclosed location. After seeing the news, reporting that she is dead, but there was no body found, Axel realizes that Pepper left messages for him as to where she would be going. He thinks that she left these messages before she died. Jake and Savannah start to develop feelings for each other.
