1. A grinned deviously as she saw the soft kiss between Aria and Ezra.
Aria’s long black hair was blowing back and forth behind her as she
smiled at her love. Their adoration for each other was evident to
anyone who saw them and A knew that it was the perfect time.
She grabbed her camera and quickly took multiple shots, sending her
worst one, she quickly texted all 4 of the girls. It was her favorite
moment when she saw the particular liar looking around frantically for
the sender, and the nervous look on her face when she couldn’t
figure it out who was sending it. Stupid girls, this was the 21st century,
where texting had become a 1st language for everyone.
Aria didn’t disappoint, A could see the frenzied look on Aria’s face as
she broke away from Ezra, and Ezra, well he tried to consol his
girlfriend.
“Aria, I just don’t understand what the problem is?” Ezra told Aria,
obviously frustrated.
“Ezra, I’m just, I have to go…”
A grinned as she realized she was slowly creating a drift between the
happy couple, it wouldn’t be long before she would have to tell Mrs.
Montgomery, after all, she deserves to know what her darling
daughter has been up to, and Mike, oh he will be the deliverer this
time. Oh liars… I’m coming to get you…
~~~
Aria could feel the tears build up in her eyes… she didn’t know what
to do. It was as if A knew exactly where they all we at all the right
times, did this mean that there was more than one of them, or was A
just that good. Whoever she was, they needed to find her soon,
before she let her secret out too.
Last month, A let Emily’s parents know that Emily was pregnant and
that she aborted the baby. Aria had to see her best friends family fall
apart completely. Knowing that Aria’s parents were already ready to
get married to other people, it doesn’t comfort her one bit. She was
shifting through all the homework she had, all of which she wasn’t
even really looking at. Her thoughts were consumed in the fact that it
would take one picture from A to turn her life upside down too. That
was when she heard a soft creek in the window.

2. She froze, she’d remembered when she’d heard that creek before,
and the last time she heard that creek, A was there, and took plenty
of pictures of her and Ezra together… while there was nothing for A
now, just the mere thought of A inside her bedroom, freaked her out.
Her heart was beating fast; she could feel every single pump as she
tried to calm down. She could hear her rapid breathing, and the calm
breathing of the person behind the window.
Aria realized that if she ignored it, then they would have to go on as
they are, scared every moment of their lives, unknowing of what A will
do next. But Aria also knew that A never gave herself up like this,
coming to her window, letting Aria even feel her presence, that wasn’t
something A did, at least not as herself.
A loud knocking on her door, and it was like the world spun. All of a
sudden she couldn’t hear the other persons breathing, and it was like
a curtain was lifting, no longer was the window taunting Aria to come
near her, no, this time, it was as if A set her up into a trap, and she
fell straight into it…

Spencer glanced at the clock as she read the last word to her essay.
Her own words, memories, her thoughts and beliefs… her life. She
wanted to prove to everyone that she was something, and not just
Melissa’s younger sister, or the girl whose father left her. When her
father disappeared with Jason, it was as if the whole world was
looking down at her, screaming the fact that her father cheated on her
mother with his high school sweetheart. As if she didn’t already know.
Looking down at her, pitying her, and she hated it with a burning
passion.
~~~
Before her father left, her family was looked upon; they were the
family. It didn’t help that it was just Spencer and Mrs. Hastings left.
When Spencer’s father left, Melissa decided that she couldn’t handle
all the pressure, especially while she was trying for a baby and she
quickly moved back with Ian in California. Her mothers, empty eyes
haunted her at night. Her silent tears made her heart ache. She
simply didn’t know what to do, Spencer had always been the brainy
one, not the emotional one, the girl who never cried herself to sleep
at night, the one who knew a logical way out… but there was none in

3. this case. Spencer couldn’t help but feel bitter about Alison it was all
her fault.
It was her fault that she couldn’t sleep at night because she was
scared something would happen. It was her fault that her family
barely spoke to each other, that her sister only called or emailed once
a week to her mother to let her know that she was okay. It was her
fault that her father left, and it her mother was broken. But it was
especially her fault, because they were carrying secrets, secrets that
only the 5 of them; and A knew. Secrets that could kill them, secrets
that are more deadly than death, Spencer wasn’t going to let A get
away with it, Alison would pay for what she did, through A.
~~~
It’s been a month since her father came back after hearing her
mothers sobbing pleas. Emily had been waiting for her father since
he left 4 years ago, with a few visits here and here, but this time, he
was back; for good. Emily didn’t know what to do, her father and
mother barely talked. Whenever Emily looked at her mother, all she
got was a disappointed look with a side of glares.
It all happened a year ago, with a boy she met at a party, Jacob, she
didn’t know anything about him, and she barely even remembered
what she looked like. A few weeks later, she noticed that she got
hungry a lot quicker, and her swimsuit was just a little tighter, and
worst of all, she was late.
As a swimmer, she kept her dates very straight, and made sure to
always have a tampon on during her dates, so when she didn’t get
her period, she got really nervous.
So she went to her regular doctor, she didn’t want any surprises that
would come in between her and swimming. It was that day when the
doctor let her know that she was in fact, 6 weeks pregnant. Seeing
her absolute horror, the doctor handed her a pile of pamphlets, and
let her know that while she wouldn’t tell her parents, she highly
recommended that Emily did, before they find out from someone else.
Oh how she wished she’d listened.
But Emily thought if she got rid of the baby soon enough, no one
would know. So during one of her swim meets that she wasn’t
swimming in, she snuck off and drove 2 hours to a random hospital.

4. It was easy, getting rid of the baby; the baby was in her way of
success. And her parents would leave her abandoned if she kept it.
She didn’t feel love for it; it felt more like a burden, something that
was just there. But she could feel the emptiness it brought her, it was
like a part of her died too, and it did. That comforting feel was gone,
and she was always on the edge, scared, and always wondering,
what would happen if she’d kept the baby.
For Emily, while life wasn’t great, A hadn’t attacked her like this, ever,
but when she stole the papers from the both the doctor’s offices and
mailed them to her mother, her life came crashing down on top of her.
Her mother looked at her with displeasure, especially since her
mother couldn’t ever conceive after Emily.
Emily stared out into the rain, it was late at night, and all her friends
were busy. Aria had just come home after coffee with Ezra, and she
was sure that the picture had shaken her up. But she just couldn’t
deal with all the drama right now.
She was going to give up on all her work, and sleep, when her phone
buzzed.
Unknown Number
1st shot- Emily
2nd shot- Aria
3rd shot? Will it be Spencer or Hanna?
Watch out girls, I’m coming for you.
Xoxo,
A
Aria? What happened to Aria? Emily hysterically dialed Aria’s
number, but her phone was turned off, so she tried her house
number, but Mike answered.
“Hello?”
“Hi Mike, It’s Emily, Can I talk to Aria?”

5. “Aria can’t come to the phone right now… her and mom and talking.
I’ll let her know you called. Don’t call back, oh and tell your petty
friends that too.”
With his last word, Mike hung up the phone, and Emily quickly put the
pieces together. That picture was her third warning. Mrs. Montgomery
knew about Ezra.
Hanna smiled, unknowing of what was happening to Aria since she
left her phone upstairs. It was the first night in a long time that she
was completely relaxed with no worries of the world around her.
Hanna had been a victim of A plenty of times, and she hadn’t gotten
to live her teenage life since.
But today was her day, Hanna came home, quickly finished her
homework, made some popcorn, and curled on the couch watching
old Lifetime movies. This past month had been tough, after Emily, all
three girls feared who was next. While none of them wanted each
other hurt, none of them wanted to be the person whose life was
turned into a major sob story, cause lets be honest, Hanna knew that
their lives were like they were written for the primetime soap opera
that the whole family watched together. Loving too see how the girls
suffered.
Hanna cleared the thoughts out of her head, and looked outside. It
was getting worse now, the rain had turned into a storm, and her
mother wasn’t home yet. Hanna ran upstairs to get her phone,
grabbing it; she started to walk back down. That was when all the
lights went out. And the only light was on Hanna’s phone,
Watch out bitch, cause I’m here.
