Hi! This is my first fanfic so please review and I'm welcoming any suggestions. Constructive criticism is appreciated. Will not take anything personally. Enjoy! :)

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Pretty Little Liars or any of the characters involved in this story.

Chapter one:

"Great boyfriend. It would be a shame if something were to happen to him. I think you know what to do."-A

Aria Montgomery read those words for what seemed like the millionth time as tears formed in her large, hazel eyes and rolled down her cheeks.

Please tell me this is just a nightmare, she thought to herself, although she had always known that A would eventually take away the person who mattered most to her.

Her thoughts were interrupted by her ringing cell phone. The caller I.D. read Ezra. Aria pressed ignore. She knew she wouldn't be able to talk to him like this. She needed to think about what she would say to him, how in a few hours, she would shred his heart to bits. The thought of the boyish smile on his face losing its warmth reduced her to tears all over again. Her phone signalled a text.

"Tick tock, time's flying. Be at his apartment before 7:00 or I will"-A

Aria looked at the clock. 6:15. She had to leave now if she wanted to be on time. She dialed Spencer's number as she got into her car but it went straight to voicemail.

I guess I'll have to do this on my own, she thought to herself, lonliness and panic washing over her as she drove to Ezra's.
