Aria never mentioned the fact that sometimes A terrorised her more than the girls, she never mentioned that yes the girls had their parents but she had a younger brother who was sometimes caught up in the fall out. She never mentioned it because she felt that it wasn't worth it. She wasn't being singled out, it just seemed that way.
In the dollhouse things happened that nobody talked about, it was a silent rule. If A singled you out then you never talked about it but Aria knew the way A treated her was different. It was like the others were vintage dolls because in the dollhouse they were, dolls. Yet Aria was less important she was like a baby Annabelle compared to the others, she wasn't vintage, and she was replaceable.
Everyone noticed that Aria lost hope the quickest. While everyone was trying to stick it to A she was pretty dull in her attempt.
It all happened so quickly. Aria was lead to a dark, abandoned room and was told to sit whilst A told its story. She gasped in all the right places and looked downtrodden to avoid being hurt.
"You know you are my least favourite" A said. Aria looked up.
"I know" she replied, tears starting to fall, she knew what was going to happen, and she wasn't going to survive.
"You left…. Everyone stayed here after my sister disappeared but you left, you were too scared to stay" Aria looked down, not giving A the satisfaction of her desperation instead she decided to be brave and stopped her tears
"Can you do something for me, please?" Aria asked, A looked at her possession in surprise but nodded.
"Can… can you erm tell my family and friends it was quick, you know send them an A text or something. I… I may have let you and Ali down but they…. Haven't" A nodded, trying to get rid of the look of desperation in Aria's eyes as she prepared to die.
"You brought this upon yourself Aria, you abandoned your best friend" nothing else was said as Aria looked her captor in the eye, A pulled out a small silver pistol and aimed it at Aria's heart.
A single shot rocketed around the room but no scream was heard.
When the police found the girls they didn't let them see the body, instead they took the girls away and hid the body. If the girls saw it they would surely break down. After a week they asked them to identify the body, they had only a minuet before them all broke down in each others embrace. Aria was a topic they had deliberately avoided, for five days they had been unaware of the rotting corpse of their friend. All they knew was what A had told them, she had escaped. Nobody believed it but deep down they were all scared she had, scared she had deserted them. They had been wrong, she was dead before the thought had even occurred.
Mike had fallen deeper into his depression when he finally got the girls to tell what had happened to his older sister who in the few days before disappearing had been so nice to mike when he hadn't. Whilst Mr and Mrs Montgomery had fallen apart at the seams.
Aria never mentioned the fact that sometimes A terrorised her more than the girls, she never mentioned that yes the girls had their parents but she had a younger brother who was sometimes caught up in the fall out. Maybe she should have, it might have saved her.
