So Toby offered her his guest room while she figured things out. Hope you enjoy this chapter! Please Review :)

Aria ran up the stairs at the brew which lead her to Toby's loft. She put her key in the lock and quickly twisted it around to unlock the door. She wasn't even thinking that Toby might have Spencer over when she walked through the door with tears rushing down her cheeks. She looks up to see Spencer on top of Toby, whispering sweet nothings in his ear while he kisses her shoulder. They still haven't noticed Aria has entered the loft. As Arias keys hit the counter the half-naked couple turns around to face her.

"Aria hi, I I didn't realize you had walked in" Toby said helping Spencer get under a blanket.

"Its fine" she whispered "I'll just be in my room, you don't have to worry about bothering me" she said as she sniffled and headed toward her bedroom hoping they hadn't noticed her puffy red eyes.

"Aria wait" Spencer called

She stopped but didn't turn around to face spencer "Hmm" she asked

"Are you ok?" she asked

"Ya I'm fine" she said as she walked into her bedroom and closed the door. She changed out of her tear soaked clothes and into her pajamas. Before sitting down on her bed and burying her face in her stuffed pig.

Toby continued kissing Spencer; "I love when you whisper in my ear" he said but she pushed him away

"I think I'm gonna go home" she said pulling her leggings back on

"You don't have to leave just yet come on Spence a little longer" toby replied with his puppy dog face.

She sat down on the couch next to him and held his hand "I can't, you need to go talk to Aria"

"Why do I need to go talk to Aria? I want to talk to you" he replied "Come on she said she was fine and we weren't bothering her"

"Toby" Spencer said to him in a loud voice "When she came in she was crying her eyes were all puffy and her face was red, you and Aria have been friends for like ever. Sometimes she talks to you more than me and we're Team SPARIA. So I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's wrong with her"

They shared one last kiss before Toby walked her out to her car.

"I love you baby" he said "Come back anytime"

"Haha I love you too babe" She said before leaving

Toby knocked on the door before walking into Aria's room and sitting on the bed next to her.

"Hey doll" he said "what's going on with you" he asked

"I don't want to talk about it" she said

"Did Ezra do something" he asked

She took the covers off her head and looked over at him and nodded her head.

"What can I do to help Aria?"

Tears filled up in her eyes "I just need everyone I care about to stop lying to me"

"What do you mean? What happened" he scooted closer to her and waited for her to answer.

She took a deep breath before saying "For a while I was going to Ezra's here and there because I missed his place. I would go right after school on days I knew he had meeting and I would hang out there for an hour or so and do homework like I used to. But about a month ago I was there and I heard a phone ringing it wasn't mine or the landline. So I started going through the couch cushions and that's when I found this phone. I'd never seen it before and the caller ID was "Unknown". So I picked it up but before I could say anything I heard a very familiar voice on the other end telling me. "The thing I ordered was ready to be picked up from the UPS store under the name "Cece Drake". The person hung up before they even realized I wasn't Ezra.

"Wait who was the person who called?" Toby interrupted

"Oh that's the weird part" she said "I'm ninety-nine percent sure it was Wren" isn't that weird she said before continuing her story.

"Sorry one more thing" Toby interrupted "Did you go pick up the package?"

"Actually I did" she replied with a smirk "This story keeps getting weirder if you can even believe that" she replied

"So on the camera there are 12 pictures and they all must have some sort of significance. It starts with pictures of the five of us in the barn before Ali disappeared. Then there's pictures of just us four. Next is one of me opening the barn door as Spencer told me "She looked everywhere for Ali".Then there are pictures of Ian and then NAT club pictures. There's a picture of Garrett and Jenna. There's another picture of Jason passed out on the couch. Then one of my dad and Allison in that yellow top she was wearing that night. But then there's this one picture it looks like one that should've been deleted. All you can see his the person's shirt, arm and a little bit of a ring. So after taking all those camera classes I knew some tips and tricks how to get a better quality of a small image on a picture. Long story short I recognized the ring. It's one that Ezra wears all the time it was his grandpa's. So what I'm saying is this camera is probably Ezra's and he was around the night Alison disappeared" she exclaimed.

"Ok so two weeks ago we went to class and Ezra had a sub which was weird because I had no clue he was going to be out of town" She said

"So I asked the teacher how long she would be subbing and she said Fitz was out the whole week. So I took that as my opportunity to take the week and go through his entire apartment."

"Oh lord" toby interrupted

"What" she asked

"Why didn't you just ask him about the pictures" toby asked

"Why would I do that? I was on a mission anyway" she continued

"So it wasn't until Thursday that I found something interesting. You know how when you go visit someone in Radley you need a visitors pass?" she asked

"Yes I know how it works" toby replied mockingly

She gave him a look "Well he had 2 visitors' passes one that said Fitzgerald and one that said "

Toby sat up straight and turned to face her " are you sure?" he asked

"Yes I'm sure look" she said as she pulled out her phone to show him she wasn't crazy "Why is that so significant" she asked

"E is Eddie, Eddie Lamb do you remember that name" he asked

"Should I" she asked him confused

"He was my mom's favorite doctor" toby replied "I visited with him often even after my mom passed away. He used to help me get in to Radley to talk to Mona and when Spencer was in Radley he was her doctor. He has answers." He took a long pause debating if he should tell Aria more.

"Answers about…" she asked

He took a deep breath "There was a period of time that Allison was going to therapy. He helped her a lot" he replied "That girl definitely has a dark side. I met her before she was big popular Ali D. I can almost remember it like it was yesterday. It was a Tuesday afternoon I was sitting in this big open room with games and a piano"

Flashback

"Eddie dear who's playing this beautiful music" Marion asked

Eddie pointed across the room to this beautiful blonde playing the piano "Her name is Allison" he replied

"What is such a beautiful girl doing here" She asked

"She's here for therapy and playing the piano soothes her" he replied

Eddie walked over to Allison and told her someone would like to meet her

"Allison this is Marion Cavanaugh she loved listening to your music and this is her son Toby" he replied before stepping off to the side.

"Your beautiful" Marion sais to her "Are you knew to Rosewood" she asked

"Kind of, I used to live on the far side of town on Mockingbird lane, it was a beautiful home but my sister Courtney got very very sick and we had to move closer to town so we could be closer to Radley. She comes here for treatment on a lot and I come along to play the piano." She replied with a smile

"I'm so sorry about your sister" Toby interjected as he extended his hand "I'm Toby Cavanaugh" he said "Will you be coming to Rosewood High in the fall" he asked

"I will" she replied "I better get back to my sisters room before my parents get back. I'm sure I'll see you around. I you feel better Mrs. Cavanaugh" she said as she turned to walk away

"It was nice meeting you" Marion called before Allison disappeared from the room.

"So you knew Allison before she was bug and popular but what does that have to do with anything?" Aria asked

"Allison wasn't there to visit her very sick sister. Do you remember the story Ali told you girls that first Halloween about the two sisters and how one tried to kill the other one?" Toby asked her

"Ya so" Aria replied

"So Allison's not a fantastic writer that story is real and that's why they were going to Radley. Allison was in therapy for nearly killing her sister and her sister was there trying to be saved." He told her "As her sister started getting better they would play these tricks on their parents and would switch places at Radley"

Aria stared at him, she looked so confused "So Allison has a twin sister?" Aria asked

"Not a twin an older sister she's two years older than Ali" Toby replied "Those tricks they played lasted through that summer they went to Cape May. The Family vacationed there to finally get away for a while now that all their kids where getting better. Allison and her sister would stay out late and go to parties around town and even go to clubs.

"But Ali was what 15 how was she getting into clubs?" Aria asked

"She had too older sibling Jason and Cece" Toby replied

Aria nearly spit out her drink "Cece as in Cece Drake is Allison's sister?! That's not possible how is this even possible?!" Aria questioned

"The Dilaurentis family is full of secrets and lies" Toby replied "That story is for another time" he said before continuing his story.

"So there was this one night Allison came to Cece and told her she was late and that she couldn't tell Jason because she thinks the father is one of his friends. She knew Jason would kill that guy for hooking up with his little sister so…." Aria cut him off. She paused; "Wait; did you say they were vacationing in Cape May the summer of 05'." She asked

Toby nodded realizing that Aria probably figured out where he was going with this. He looked up at her and saw tear forming in her eyes.

"Is Ezra" she paused "Is Ezra board shorts?" she asked him.

Toby takes a long pause but Aria interrupts "Toby that's a yes or no question is he or isn't he Board Shorts" she asked tears beginning to trickle down her cheeks.

Toby nodded "But Aria it's not that simple there's so much more to it then him having the nickname "board short" he called to her but she was already heading to her car. Tonight she was going to go for a drive and check into a hotel for the night. She needed to clear her head. Everything she knew was turning into lies and she needed to alone.

"I'll be back in the morning" she called before driving off.
