As Aria sat in the interrogation room with her friends, she thought of the text she just gotten less than a hour ago from an anyonmous person. She thought of A, when she read it but she knows that, that part of her life is over, it was solved five years ago and how was she involved in the death of her friend Bre Mayson? Det. Kaplan walks into the room and looks at the girls. "Thank you all for coming," she tells them and sits down on the chair in front of them. "We've idenified your friends body, her real name was Loretta Mohrgan, she was from San Antonio, Texas. Did anyone know her as Loretta Mohrgan?" she asks them, they all look at her and shakes their head 'no'. "Then let's start off with who met Loretta first," the detective starts off. "Who met her five years ago?" Aria looks at her. "I did," she says sadly, she's still shook up from that text message and knowing that her friend is dead. Det. Kaplan looks at her. "Let's start from the beginning, Ms. Montgomery, tell me how you met Ms. Mohrgan," she asks Aria.
Aria Montgomery has been enjoying her time in LA, her internship has been so much fun. She even got the summer to travel to New Orleans and actually work at their offices there. She found an apartment that she would roommate with someone on this website called 'RoomieHome' where they help you find temporary places to stay in, she chatted with a young woman named Bre Mayson. She found out its a two bedroom in the city a few blocks away from where she would be working. She planned everything out and was excited to be in a new enviroment other than her hometown for once.
It's Thursday, Aria's first day in New Orleans straight from the plane, she only brought two suitcases filled with some necessities like clothes, shoes, makeup, etc.. She walks up to the apartment on the forth floor, apartment 3 and takes a deep breath before knocking on the door. A second later a young woman two years older than Aria opens the door. She has past the shoulders dirty blonde hair and seems calm. "Hi, you must be Aria?" She asks opening the door wider to allow Aria to come in dragging her suitcases. "Yeah," she says, Bre looks at her. "I'm Bre Mayson," she extends her hand after shutting the door and locking it. "It's nice to meet you," Aria lets go of her suitcases and shakes Bre's hand. "This place looks nice," she adds, looking around, the living room is a a decent size with a couch, tv, coffee table and right behind it is a rectangle table with three chairs. The kitchen is right next to her, with an island seperating the kitchen from the livingroom. "This is the living room, kitchen, there's two bedrooms, mine's on the left of the bathroom, yours is the right, it's all furnished. That's how it was when I moved in, anyway," Bre begins to tell her. "How long have you lived here?" Aria says getting to know her. "A few months, I found the website and it helped me find a place," Bre tells her. "It helped, a lot," she adds. "Well, make yourself at home," Bre finishes off then looks at Aria. "How about we order take out and get to know each other a little better?" She asks Aria, she looks at Bre. "That sounds like fun," Aria tells her. "Do you like chinese?" Bre asks her pulling out her cell phone. "Yeah. Who doesn't?" she smiles, grabbing her suitcases. "I'm going to start putting my stuff away?" Aria tells her as Bre calls the chinese place and orders.
About an hour later, Aria and Bre are sitting at the table with chinese food spread out enjoying eating off their plates or getting extra with their forks or chopsticks. "So where are you from?" Bre asks Aria, who looks at her, after taking a bite of her eggroll. "Rosewood, Pennsylvania," Aria says and places her egg roll down. "Something wrong?" Bre asks her, really enjoying the company. "I just... I went through a lot recently. I don't want to talk about it right now, it's just, i'm trying to put that part behind me," Aria tells her. "Then we won't talk about that, besides everyone has past they don't want to talk about," Bre says trying to help Aria feel better. "Tell me about Rosewood, the city," Bre asks inquistive, wanting to know more. "Well, it's a beautiful town, everyone knows everyone," she begins to tell her. "It's like your basic small town, very quiet, it's a nice place," she finishes off. "Where are you from?" Bre takes a second before answering. "No where nice, just a small one horse town in Texas," she begins to tell Aria. The girls are finished and start picking up. "Why did you come to New Orleans?" Aria asks wanting to know more about her new roommate, Bre hesitates. "Just wanted to live in the city at least once in my life, you know? Experience a new culture, new people," she tells her. The girls finish picking up, then head to their bedrooms to get to sleep.
The next day, after Aria woke up she got herself ready to take in the New Orleans scenery. Bre was in the kitchen making herself some fruit and yoguart for breakfast. "Good morning," both ladies tell each other. "How did you sleep?" Bre asks Aria, who's dressed and ready for the day. "Peaceful," Aria tells her. "I'm heading out, do you want to join me?" she asks her. "I have a long day ahead of me," Bre informs Aria. "Maybe next time," she lets her know. Aria leaves and Bre heads to her bedroom with her food, shuts and locks the door behind her.
Over the next couple of weeks, Aria and Bre became friends, opening up little by little. Aria has a feeling that Bre isn't sharing something but doesn't want to pry into her life. Aria goes to work enjoys her days in the city, Bre stays in a lot but they do go to dinner or the movies, stuff friends do together.
The girls decided to hang out with one of Aria's co workers, Prea and go to the movies then out to a bar on Bourban Street, so after enjoying a showing of the Channing Tatum movie they headed to Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop Bar and enjoy themselves. The girls each order drinks and wait at a table, the bar is loud with music and crowds of people talking. "I don't know if I should be out... I'm more of a homebody," Bre says as Aria looks at her. "You need to get out, we're going to help you find someone, right Prea?" she asks her friend who's distracted looking at some guy with flirty eyes. "Right," she says getting back into the conversation. "No, i'm fine, I... I don't need anyone," Bre tells them. She spots someone she knows walking into the bar, she perks her attention to follow him with her eyes. "It doesn't seem like your not interested?" Aria says noticing the recent sign of anxiety in her friends apperance. "Something wrong?" she asks her. "N..No, i'm fine," Bre tells her. "I'm going to the bathroom," Bre says getting up and walking towards the bathroom, the guy before grabs her arm and pushes her against the wall. "Let go of me," she tells him, "How did you find me?" she asks, while he kisses her kneck. "You really shouldn't talk to your mother if your trying to loose me," he tells her, going to choke her. "I don't love you anymore, leave me alone," she begs him. "C'mon, you know you love me," he begins to press himself closer to her skin. She uses all her upper strength and pushes him off. "Leave me the hell alone," she walks back by Aria. "I'm sorry, Aria, i'm calling a cab," Bre tells her and then walks towards the door. Aria gets up after placing her drink on the table, "Let me check on her," Aria tells Prea. When she gets by Bre at the door, she taps her shoulder making her jump. "Are you alright?" Bre tears up a little. "Not really," Bre tells her, Aria is getting concerned for her friend. "Let's go home together," Aria begins to tell her. "I'll text Prea and tell her we're going home," Aria adds.
When the girls got home, they sat on the couch and talked. Bre wants to tell Aria everything but knows that if she did it would put her in harm way but she needed to tell her something. "I ran into my ex, we had a bad breakup. I didn't want to stay there and be in the same building as him," Bre tells her without going into too much detail about whats really going on.
Two days later, Bre is walking home from the fresh market with a recyable bag in her hand. She is trying to stay out of view of while blending in with the people around her. As she's walking up to the door to her apartment building, she gets a weird feeling. She walks in the building, going around the corner to the elevator and stops, the same guy from the other night comes in front of her. "You've been following me?" she asks him, as he moves in close to her. "Of course I have, i'm not leaving you," he tells her. She gets scared. "You need to leave," she begins... "Leave me alone," she almost screams to him. "I can't and I won't..." he says with authority. "I'll call the police..." she begins to tell him. "You know you can't do that..." he begins to caress her arm. "I don't love you," she tells him. "Don't think you can hide, I know where you live," he tells her just as a small group of people walk into the building to the elevators pressing a floor, while he gets distracted by something else she slips into the elevator. When Bre gets into the apartment she locks the door bolts as soon as she gets in. "Oh, hey," Aria says walking out of the bedroom. "One of the delivery guys stopped by and dropped off some groceries," Aria begins to tell her. "I put them away," she adds. "Thanks, I got some fresh fruit and veggies," Bre says trying to act not shaken up. She walks to the kitchen and begins to put them away.
The next day Aria wakes up and walks into the livingroom, stretching she looks around no sight of Bre. She walks to Bre's bedroom door and softly knocks. "Bre," she says softly. "I'm going to make breakfast..." Aria says opening the door to an empty bedroom. Bre's not in sight, neither is her clothes and some personal items she had. There's a note left on the bed. Aria picks it up and begins to read it, sitting down to get more comfortable.
'Aria- Sorry I left without saying goodbye face to face. You are a nice person and a good friend, I just couldn't be here anymore. My story is still being written and I need to enjoy it. The rent is paid for the next few months. As well as the other bills. You can find another roommate if you want or you can stay by yourself, but please enjoy your life. I do have your number so I can contact you when I want. Your friend, Bre Mayson'
"And that's the last time I heard from her..." Aria tells the detective. She is being honest with what she's telling her so there's no reason why she should be suspected in her friends death. Detective Kaplan looks at Aria. "That's the last time you heard from her before tonight? No one came looking for her?" she asks her. Aria then remembers something. "A few days later um, someone came looking for her. I think it was her ex boyfriend," she says with a confusing look. The detective looks at the three way mirror behind her. "Send him in," she gestures. A good looking man in his late twenties walks in with stubble on his face, the jawline of a God, dark beautiful hair and green eyes. All the girls gasp, they know him. "Is this the guy that was looking for her?" the detective asks. "Y...Yes," Aria stammers out. "Ms. Montgomery, Ms. Marin, Ms. Fields and Ms. Hastings, I will like for you to meet Dominic Parker, FBI," Det. Kaplan announces to the girls.
