(NO ONES POV)
10:43 PM SUNDAY, HASTINGS HOUSE
Spencer's heart dropped when she got the call from Hanna, she was with Emily and they were both on their way to Aria's house. But what she had just heard made her so weak in knees that she collapsed a little. Toby held her close.
"Spencer, what's wrong?" They all thought things were going so well with Ezra, so what happened? What made him do it? Spencer was drowning in all her blurred thoughts about her question whilst Toby kept trying to get answers from her.
"SPENCER? Answer me!" Toby continued. "I-Is everything okay?"
"Toby…we need to go to Aria. I don't know if she has found out what happened but it will be on the news in no time." Spencer said, with a single tear streaming down her face.
"But what happened?"
She cried and Toby hugged her in his embrace. "S-s-She's going to be so heartbroken Toby. Aria's going to break into two when she finds out."
"Spencer, I'm really worried now"
"I was one the phone with Hanna who was with Emily and they were near the Rosewood Bridge, the abandoned Bridge. She saw Holbrooke and a bunch of other cops. Toby, they found Ezra's car. They said the car was completely battered and crashed. The windows were broken and there was blood. And..."
"And what Spencer?"
"They found a suicide note" Toby stood still not being able to speak. "They think he jumped off the bridge. It just happened an hour ago. They've contacted Ezra's family but we don't think Aria knows about it yet.
She sobbed.
"Okay Spence." He wiped a tear and continued, "I'll drop you off at Aria's and I'll go into night shift at the police station and I will do everything to help." Toby stood for a moment then started to get a bit angry. Ever since Christmas, Ezra, Toby and Caleb have been like brothers. They stuck close, especially since the whole 'A' thing is still going on. Toby was angry at Ezra. He was angry because he didn't know why his best buddy did this. But now, he was going to do everything he can to find out what had happened.
10:50, MONTGOMERY HOUSE
Hanna knocked on the door as she arrived with Emily at Aria's house. After a few seconds of silence, Aria's Dad, Byron Montgomery, opened the door.
"Mr Montgomery" Emily said.
"Come on in girls" he said. Hanna could tell by his expression that he'd heard the news and she was right.
Aria's parents were sat in the living room, with Ella's head in her hands and Byron still trembling. Mike was on the other side of the room just standing, with no expression but it was obvious that everyone was thinking about the same thing.
Soon Spencer arrived and then Caleb.
"Caleb" Hanna ran to him and he hugged her. Closing the door behind him after Toby also entering they all knew it was time to figure things out.
"Where's Aria?" Caleb asked.
Ella sighed. Just thinking about her made her die a little on the inside. "She's upstairs…in her bedroom"
"Is she okay?" he whispered.
Just before Ella or Byron answered, they all finally heard what Mike had to say. "They haven't told her yet. She's upstairs sound asleep. She hasn't been feeling to well so she's been like this for a little while now. "
"Well we have to tell her. It's obvious that this is something we can't keep from her. "Emily said.
Hanna sat down as Aria's parents left to the kitchen. All the liars sat down with each other just trying to take in what was going on and how hard it was going to affect Aria.
"I went to the Rosewood Abandoned Bridge. So far they've only let police and investigators go there, so there were no reporters. But the word will spread quickly."
Spencer held onto Toby "Have they found out anything yet?"
"They're searching the waters to see if they found a body. It was just unbelievable. When I went there, I saw his car and there was blood on the window and a lot of smashed glass. His car was parked right on the Bridge. They…"
"They saw security footage and they saw him commit suicide. He jumped. They have it recorded." He sighed, trying to not let the tears come out.
"I saw the whole damn thing."
"It's okay man." Caleb said.
Mike walked back into the room. "Hey guys…"
They all turned around to look at him. "It's Aria…she's awake."
They all walked in one by one and Aria sat up, still covered in a blanket. She smiled "Hey you guys. Are we bringing the whole town in?" she said as she laughed.
Byron walked by her room. "I'll leave you guys to talk" and with that he shut the door. Caleb and Toby sat on the right side of her bed, Spencer being unable to face her, she looked out her window. Emily stood next to the door whilst Hanna sat next to Aria with her hands in hers.
"How are you feeling? You've been sick for a while now…" Hanna said.
"Yep…but it comes and goes. Probably just allergies."
She looked at each and everyone in the room and soon realized something. "Guys, what's wrong?"
Silence filled the air. "Hanna?" Even now Hanna was unable to speak and let go of Aria's hand to cover her eyes so she doesn't cry in front of her.
"Spencer? Spence- what's wrong?" Now there was a worried tone in her voice. She got up and walked to Emily but she couldn't even face her.
"Toby? Caleb? Someone tell me what's going on!" she screamed. Tears started to form in her eyes.
Hanna wiped away her tears and spoke up. "Aria…Ezra…"
"He committed suicide. He's dead." Toby said.
Her blood ran from, her face as she suddenly became cold and pale. Her heart started to race and she stood frozen.
They sat her down and Caleb and Toby left the room. The girls held her close as they told her everything that had just happened. And as soon as they finished, they didn't know if Aria was going to speak up. Her head was rested on her knees. She was silent but there were tears forming in her eyes. She didn't want to let them fall.
And then all of a sudden, she started breathing heavily and her pulse was racing. Her body was frozen but her hands were trembling and choked for air.
"Aria…?"
"Spencer, I think she's having a panic attack." Spencer tried to regain Aria's attention. Panic Attacks weren't new for Aria. She's had the a few times before but this was a bit more alarming.
"I-I-I need to go see Ezra" she stuttered as she tried to get her words out.
"Aria, you can't. They can't find-"
"I need to see him!" she spoke.
"Emily gets her some water…" Hanna said. "Quickly!"
She looked at her desk and immediately ran to pick up her phone. "I need to call Ezra" She kept on dialling his number again and again. They all sobbed quietly while they watched her break down.
"PICK UP EZRA!"
Spencer held her close while she quietly sobbed into her shoulder.
The next few hours were just the worse for everyone. The Montgomery house was cold and depressing and something like it had never been before. The colder the weather, the harsher the conditions, the harder it was for Aria to hold herself together. But deep down inside she knew that this wasn't the whole story and that in fact this was just the very beginning.
