____________________________________________________________________

After Callum find out that his older brother and father have joined the Liberation Militia his older sister Lynette throws herself in front of a bus. Later, Callum is expelled from school after the Liberation Militia bombs a local mall. Callum, caught up in all of grief, neglects to talk to Sephy. Meanwhile, Sephy begins drinking and decides that she wants to go to a boarding school so she can get away from alcohol mother and the absence of her father. Having not heard from Callum she writes him a letter asking his to run away with her, but of course, he doesn't receive it until it's too late.

Three years later, when Sephy returns from Chivers Boarding school, Callum is deep into the LM, Stiletto Unit. The day she returns, Callum sends a message asking Sephy to meet him in their secret place on the beach. After finally having their first kiss together, Sephy finds out the meeting was actually a trap set up by the LM.

Sephy is forced into a car, taken miles away from her family's house, and put in a dark, damp, basement. She believes there is no way she will get out alive, and asks Callum to be the one to kill her. But soon he realizes that the feelings he still holds for Sephy will not allow him to kill her, and secretly they have sex.

The same night, the LM is betrayed and the members that return to their secret hide-out agree that they must kill Sephy Hadley. Not wanting them to due so, Callum allows her to escape. The LM members agree to split up and lay low for six months, and within that time Callum finds out that Sephy is pregnant.

While trying to contact Sephy, Callum is captured and sent to hang. Sephy's father makes Sephy a deal, if she has an abortion, Callum will not hang. Even though the deal will save Callum's life, Sephy knows that it is not what he wants. He would rather hang then kill their unborn child.

On the day of his hanging, Sephy goes and proclaims her love for Callum. Callum's final words were, "I Love You Too!"
