## Character History

Lauren escaped Willow Lake together with her older brother after her sister's death. She cut all relationships from her past. In Rosewood she quickly reconnects with her childhood friend Alison DiLaurentis. Alison introduces her to her best friends and quickly gets invited to the annual sleepover in Spencer's Barn. They ended up playing Truth or Dare, which lead to Lauren kissing Emily. After they had a lot more drinks they all fell asleep.

Lauren was the first one to wake up and realized that Alison was gone. She looked around and then walked to the door and looked outside and saw how two people were standing in front of Alison, one holding a field hockey stick. When the male person swung the stick, she looked away, only hearing Alison scream. That scream had woken up Spencer.
