1. Relationships

Alison is e successful owner of her own clothing store. Her husband who she dated for two years and then married three years ago is Ezra Fitzgerald, a brilliant writer. They have a beautiful house together, which was built by one of their best friends, Toby Cavanaugh and Hanna Marin was the one who came up with the interior design.

They are a group of 7 people. They are very close, they are practically a family. They've know each other for years now and have been together since high school, but not without some bumps on the road.

Today is Saturday, the day they all gather and talk about how everyone's week has gone. Every time in a different house and this week the Fitzgerald's are hosting the get – together.

Ezra was writing his newest bestseller while his wife was taking a shower and getting ready for her friends. She loved their meetings. After graduation they don't see each other that often. Everyone was busy during the week with their jobs. Alison and Hanna are the ones who see each other every day, after all they work together. Hanna is actually the manager of Alison's store.

Alison is grateful for Hanna's help. Without her she wouldn't be where she is right now.

It's almost 7 pm and Alison is just about finished getting ready. Just one last touch of her hair. She looks at herself in the mirror. She is successful, she has great friends, a beautiful house and the perfect husband. She should be happy, anyone would be happy in her place. But looking at herself with her ocean blue eyes, she can't help but feel like something is missing. She can't put her finger on it.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts the doorbell rang.

"Babe, can you open the door please?" Alison asked her husband from the bedroom on the second floor.

"Sure, sweetheart!" said Ezra while he closed his laptop, got out of his office and headed to the door.

He opened the said front door and was greeted by a smile. Standing there was a short brunette, named Aria Montgomery. "Hey." exclaimed Aria, not losing her smile.

"Hey!" Ezra greeted back, while stepping forward to hug the girl.

Aria Montgomery is an English teacher in high school, but like Ezra, a writer on the side. Although not as thriving as Ezra, still as good.

"How's your book coming?" questioned Aria.

"Great, although I'm a little behind, I'll manage." Exclaimed Ezra, while both of them went to the living room and took a seat across each other.

"Where's Alison?" Aria asked, looking around the room and finally caught a glimpse of her coming down the stairs.

She was dressed in blue skinny jeans and a white blouse, looking fabulous as ever.

"Aria!" exclaimed Alison with a wide smile on her face as she hugged her friend "I've missed you so much" she added.

"We saw each other, like three days ago, Ali." Laughed Aria as they pulled apart and smiled at her best friend.

They've had their fair share of drama, but came out of it stronger than ever.

"And?" huffed Alison as she took a seat next to her husband. He wrapped his hand around her shoulder and kissed her cheek.

Aria looked at them for a couple of seconds. She admired them and felt jealous at the same time. They had this amazing relationship, everything she…. wanted. She pursed he lips and pushed aside these thoughts.

They chatted for a few minutes as the doorbell rang again. This time Alison opened it and saw Toby with his wife Spencer.

"Hey, bitches" she greeted them as she escorted them to the living room.

"Fierce as ever, Ali." Spencer chuckled.

"Hell yeah!" exclaimed Alison. She went back to the loving embrace of her husband while Toby and Spence sat on the couch, next to Aria. They shared a smile and went back to chatting.

"Of course Hanna would be late." Spencer shook her head. Everyone laughed as Alison cursed. "That bitch is never on time!"

It was no secret that Alison was not particularly a very good person in the past, but she wasn't necessarily a bad person either. After all she did have a heart, despite hiding behind a mask of a girl who pretended she didn't care for anyone or anything for that matter.

Like we established Toby Cavanaugh is an architect. His parents are divorced. His father remarried and he has a step sister – Jenna. They are not particularly close, but nevertheless, he considers her family. He is married to a tall brunette, Spencer Hastings, a well – known lawyer, like her parents and a successor of the Hastings' law firm.

"How's your project, Toby?" Ezra questioned as his wife went to the kitchen.

"Great! I want it to be perfect. Thee clients are pretty rich, so no money are being wasted." Said Toby. "Of course it will be perfect. You are the best." Exclaimed Spencer. The looked at each other and smiled as they kissed.

All of them nodded their heads agreeing with Spencer. "Of course! He built us the most beautiful house." Alison said, coming back from the kitchen with coffee for everyone.

Toby felt very proud. He really did built a very beautiful house. But he didn't do it alone. Hanna did an amazing job with the interior design.

"I couldn't have done it without Hanna." He smiled as everyone nodded.

And the doorbell rang, yet again. "Speaking of the devil." Laughed Spencer.

"It was about damn time." huffed Alison as she headed to the door.

She swung the door open and was greeted with an apologizing look. "Sorry, we are late!"

"Finally!" Alison scolded as she let her friend's in. "We are, like, ten minutes late!" frowned Hanna, as Caleb, her husband shook his head.

"Try, thirty, Hanna." Glared Alison as they all made their way to the living room where the rest of the group were seated.

"Okay, fine, sorry! I couldn't decide what to wear!" exclaimed Hanna. Everyone laughed and shook their heads simultaneously.

"What is this, a fashion show?" Questioned Spencer.

"Shut up, Spence. Just because you dress like you are thirty, don't mean that I should."

"Hey!" Glared Spencer and added "We are not that far from thirty, Hanna!"

"Oh, shut up. We have five more years until we have to feel sorry for ourselves and dress like old people." They laughed again at Hanna's antics.

"Do you guys want some coffee?" Ezra offered.

"Try vodka." Said Hanna as she greeted Aria, who kind of sat quietly. Spencer shook her head while Alison mentally face – palmed. They love Hanna, but, honestly, sometimes they all want to kill her.

They talked for the rest of the night. They shared everything and were happy to be together again. After three hours all of them decided to head home to their respective houses, thinking what was lying ahead and what the future holds for this happily married couples.
