Hey! So this is a little different than my usual writing but then again this is not really a story. This is merely thoughts written poetically. Hope you guys like it! Read and please let me know what you thought by reviewing! :D
They have said that Valentine's Day was reserved for the one you love
They have said that Valentine's Day was to be spent with your significant other
Aria Montgomery however, thought otherwise
There she was sitting in the embrace of her best friend, Spencer Hastings
She felt the happiest in that moment than she had felt in months, possibly even in years
She felt safe
She felt at peace
She remembered the many times she had sat in the same exact embrace except it was with her former boyfriend
However, she recalled that she had never felt this safe
Even with him
She supposed that could have been due to the fact that as it turned out, he was not the man she thought he was
He was a liar
He was a criminal
He was the devil
It had turned out that she was merely a toy
A toy for him to play with
To use
To take advantage of
To take pleasure in
And much like a toy, she had broke when she found that out
When she broke though, he was not there to pick up the pieces
He left her there
He laughed at her
He enjoyed seeing her pain
Then she felt someone pick her up
She felt someone try to put her back together
She felt someone glue her back together
It was not him
It was her best friends
It was Spencer who had quickly caught her before she shattered herself into tiny shreds
It was Emily who had put the pieces of her puzzled self back together
It was Hanna who had glued her back together to prevent her from breaking again
Her best friends were there
He was not
He would never be again
Her best friends had brought her back to reality
Her best friends had nursed her back to health
Her best friends had loved her back to life
Best friends, she realized, were saviours
Best friends, she realized, were angels sent from heaven
Best friends, she realized, were her life line
Best friends accepted you for who you were
Best friends saw beyond your flaws
Best friends saw you at your best
Best friends comforted you at your worst
Best friends tolerated you
Best friends bettered you
Aria Montgomery had finally reached her epiphany
She had realized that best friends meant much more than just one boy
Now, as Aria Montgomery sat on Spencer Hastings' lap, in her embrace, in between Hanna and Emily, she decided that that was exactly how she would like to spend Valentine's Day
In the embrace of her best friends
Not in the embrace of a lying man
Because her best friends cared
Because her best friends loved her
And now she understood that she loved her best friends more than any other man that she had ever loved
