How do I explain life in just a few words? Challenging for one, life is always throwing a good right hook when you aren't expecting it. The next is lesson because after life throwd that unexpected hook, you learn not to let it happen again. The third word and this is more personal, plus its not a word but a letter: A.

My name is Alison Dilaurentis and a month ago, my best friends and I took down the anonymous cyber bully called A. We lost a good friend Sarah Mooney along the way, I still feel the grief of her death boil within me. A had killed her and she had died by my side afyer Arsenic poisoning. However, this is the story of what happens next, I guess. It's the story of my best friends, Spencer Hastings, Aria Montgomery and Hanna Marin along with my wife, Emily Fields and myself. This is 'Aftermath'.

"Ali, Ali!" Emily calls out as again Alison is having another nightmare, she assumed it was about Sarah. Having a best friend die with her hand in Alison's had really taken a toll on her. Aliaon jumps up, sitting up in her beds, tears appearing in her eyes. Emily wraps her arms around her sobbing wife. "Shh, it's okay, it's over." Emily says calmly as Alison's head falls into Emily's chest. "Was it Cece again or Sarah?" Emily asks gently. Aliaon takes a few desperate breaths. "Sarah." She manages to say through the controlled sobs. Emily places her chin gently on top of her wive's sandy blonde hair. Alison falls asleep with her head rested atop Emily's chest. The sound of Emily's heart soothing Alison further into a deep sleep.

"Hey Guys." Alison says as she meets with Spencer, Aria, Hanna and Emily at school. "Hey Ali." All the girls say in unison "Thanks for letting me walk this morning Em, I just needed to think." Alison lets a small smile cross her face. "No problems." Emily nods gently as they walk to Mr Fitz's (Ezra's) class. Spencer brings the group to a halt. "Maybe we should take a different route to class." Spencer suggests as she starts to force the girls in a different direction. "Spence, what's going on?" Alison asks harshly. She notices all the girls start to help Spencer move her down a different hallway. Alison fights back and pushes her way through the girls. A small crowd is gathered by the stairs. Alison pushes her way through the group of people. She gasps and drops to her knees as she finds Sarah's memorial completely trashed. The plaque broken in two and graffitied on Alison cries as she holds the two pieces together and sees the letter she had dreaded for three years. The graffiti made an 'A'. Just as Aliaon drops the broken pieces, all the girls receive a text. Alison opens her phone and reads the text to herself. 'You really thought you could rid of me that easy? Still so much to learn and so much pain for you to experience. -A.' Alison looks backward to the girls. Their faces all register complete shock as they look upon the broken memorial.
