Aria's phone vibrated excessively in her pocket. She pulled it out and opened the text that was causing the ruckus.

Let's talk about last night...meet me at my place around 8pm?

Ezra's picture shown next to the message.

Aria's heart fluttered, and the memory of last night came back to her.

His car. The talk they had. His feelings for her. Her feelings for him. The romantic tension they had built up for each other. It all just burst.

Her fingers typed as her mind continued it's way down memory lane.

Absolutely! See you then! (:

She hit send and shoved her phone back to it's original place.

"Who was that?" Spencer asked, sipping on the juice she had gotten from the hospital vending machine.

"Oh, no one," Aria freaked on the inside, but told herself to remain calm, "Just my dad. He was wondering how Hannah was doing."

Spencer's eyes darted from Aria to the wounded body of their best friend, Hannah.

"Whoever 'A' is...they are going to pay for this!" Spencer looked back to Aria, her face hardened.

"I agree, Spence!" Aria glanced in Hannah's direction.

"Still nothing?" Emily walked in, dropping her bag by the door.

"Nope," the girls answered.

"I can't believe that person ran her over!" Emily swayed over to Hannah slowly, grabbing her hand when she reached the bed. "Did the doctors say how bad her brain was damaged?"

"Not that we've heard," Aria spoke just above a whisper.

Emily placed Hannah's hand back down on the bed, and took a seat in the corner chair.

Silence filled the room. No one knew what to say. There truly wasn't anything they could say that would make what 'A' did go away.

Hannah lay there, unconcious, unable to tell the girls what she knew too much about.

"What about that text, Aria?" Emily stared at the floor, keeping her voice low.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, like, what do you think Hannah knew too much about that 'A' felt the need to run her over?"

Aria went over Emily's question several times in her head before finally speaking, "I have no idea. Wait...didn't Hannah say she knew who 'A' was?"

"Yeah!" Spencer sat forward in her chair.

"Well, maybe 'A' saw Hannah watching her?" Aria tried.

The other two girls shrugged. It was possible, but was it the right answer?

Aria's eyes darted to the clock. 7:35pm

"Girls, I have to get home soon. Dad wants to have a late dinner," Aria stood, sliding on her "Camp Mona" jacket that she had used to cover Hannah with before the ambulance arrived.

"Ok, see you later Aria!" they fare-welled her.

Aria smiled and walked out of the room. Her trip out of the hospital and to her car took another five minutes.

Unlocking her door, Aria slid into her seat, turned her car on, and buckled up. She pulled her phone from her pocket once more and texted Ezra.

Be there soon. Just leaving the hospital now.

She threw her phone into the passenger side seat this time, instead of returning it to her pocket, now tucked away behing ther lap belt.

Just as she shifted into reverse, her phone lit up. Grabbing it, she expected it to be a reply from Ezra, but her world turned in many different directions when she read the text.

You think Hannah might wake up and tell them what she saw? Be careful, Aria. Dating a teacher is overrated nowadays. -A
