This is my first fanfic ever. I hope you like it :) English is not my first language, so please excuse any grammar mistakes.
The story starts right after episode 08. It might contain SPOILERS.
Arya Montgomery was almost sleeping when her phone started buzzing. She slowly opened her eyes cursing whoever was sending a text message this late. Was it from A? Maybe it was from Ezra. No, he wasn't in town. Maybe her mom… Tired of guessing, Arya got up from her bed.
I hope you girls liked my work at the bench. I think it looks better now. With love – A
"What?" Arya said confused. The bench that the city dedicated to Alison was perfectly fine when the memorial was over. Was A talking about that bench?
Thinking quickly Arya dialed Hanna's number.
"This better be good" a sleepy Hanna said after the fifth ring.
"I just got a text from A" Arya blurted out not paying attention to Hanna's bad mood. "Can you come pick me up? My dad will wake up if I get the car"
"Pick you up? You mean like now?"
"Yes, Hanna. Like now" Arya said impatient with Hanna's laziness. "I'll explain everything when you get here. It's important" she added trying to convince her friend.
"Urgh. I hate you" Hanna said sarcastically. "I'll be there in ten"
"Thank you" Arya said and hung up.
She thought about calling Spencer and Emily but she wanted to check if A really had done something to the bench before waking the two of them up. She took off her pj's and put on the first thing she found, jeans and a t-shirt. With no makeup and just her cell phone on her hand, she sneaked out of the house.
Like promised, Hanna parked her mom's car in front of Arya's house after ten minutes. Arya got inside the car and laughed at her friend. Hanna was still wearing her pajamas, a pink babydoll, and her hair was still messy from sleep.
"Don't say it" Hanna warned before Arya could utter a comment. "Or I'll leave you here and go back to my house"
Arya smiled but kept her mouth shut.
"So, what was on the text?" Hanna asked.
"A said that she had done something to the bench. Ali's bench" Arya explained showing Hanna the text. "We need to check it out before anyone else does".
Hanna agreed and started the car. It was a five minutes drive to the bench. When they got there, from distance it looked normal but when they got out of the car and started walking towards it, they could see that it was torn. The fountain was broken and there were pieces of cement everywhere.
"Oh my god" Hanna said. "We have to call Emily and Spencer"
Emily parked her brand new Corolla behind Hanna's Mercedes. Spencer and her got out of the car and walked fast towards Hanna and Arya. They were standing next to Alison's memorial bench.
"Who would do something like that?" Emily asked shocked. They've had so much work to do this memorial for Alison and now it was destroyed.
"A would" Arya said and showed the girls the text message.
"I can't believe it. She has gone too far now!" an angry Spencer said. "One thing is to threaten us with messages but this… this is going to call attention. Police attention".
"A only broke our dedicatory" Hanna said pointing to the cement parts that once were a message that the four of them wrote for Alison. "Do you think the cops will notice that?"
"Probably" Spencer answered. She was angry with A. How could she (or he) have done something like that?
"Why are you in your pajamas?" Emily asked Hanna with a half smile. It was kind of funny seeing Hanna in the middle of the park wearing nothing but a Victoria's Secret babydoll.
"Guys!" Spencer warned before Hanna could answer. "We need to think about what we are going to do"
"We can't do anything" Arya said. "It's not like we can clean this up without anyone noticing. Let's pretend we were never here and tomorrow we'll think about something to say to the cops".
"That's if they even come talk to us. They might thing this is just another act of vandalism" Hanna pointed.
"No. That creepy detective will find weird that Alison's memorial got trashed at the same night of the memorial. Plus the fact that only ours piece of cement got broken. I'm pretty sure he'll ask us about it" Spencer concluded.
A chilly wind passed across them making them shiver.
"Ok, for now we go home" Arya said with a somber look on her face. "And remember girls: we were never here"
