Thank you guys so much for the great reviews on my story! I'm gonna warn you, I'm not that great at writing long stories, and my updates don't come very often because of school, but I will defiantly try my best! You guys are the greatest! Again, I (unfortunately) don't own Pretty Little Liars.

Spencer's POV

I was turning around and heading for the girls when the sirens started, and immediately we all tensed up, not saying a word. When we started down the road towards Em's house, the sirens started to get closer, and I knew we were all thinking the same thing, but no one was going to come out and say it. A was still out there, weather they got Mona or not.

Aria looked over at Hannah, and asked her the simple, but difficult question.

"You gonna be okay at home tonight?"

"I know Mona's A, I just keep seeing that faceless person with the black hoodie." Em spoke up, and said one of the most helpful things I could think of.

"Let's all sleep at my place. My mom would be thrilled to have a reason to cook." I finally said something, still shocked from the magical night, but no smile graced my lips. Just thinking about A made all of my happiness, which there's a lot of, go away.

"That sounds like old times." I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice. Old times, what were they? Sleeping over and playing truth or dare? We weren't going to be doing that tonight. If anything, we will all be crying, trying to figure more out. Who else could A be? As if Aria had been reading my mind, she sighed a sad sigh, and then her face turned to stone, ghostly white and hard. We all turned our heads as the sound of an approaching ambulance caught our attention. Scared expressions covered our faces as we neared the turn that we made right before Em's house. We saw Maya's house surrounded by police cars, ambulances, and, the one thing we all feared, the coroner. We all turned to gauge Em's reaction, but she was too busy running over to her girlfriends' house. We all followed her quickly, shoving people to the side, running through all of the gates that surrounded the area. We saw her run over to her mom in a frantic state. Her mom rushed over to her side, grabbing her into an embrace.

"Honey. They found a body. They think it's… they think it's Maya." We were all there, hugging Emily as the confused look on her face turned into one of despair. We all tried to keep her from running over to look, so I quickly grabbed the side of her face, and hugged it, trying to get her to stay put. None of us could hear anymore, it was like our bodies had shut down. We could see Emily screaming, but nobody heard it. We were all hugging her, trying to calm her, but was that possible when all we could think about was A? We were all just as scared as she was, but nobody knew the pain that she was going through. She lost her love. The love of her life. I've lost Toby, but he was back now. He was never permanently gone like Maya was. Maya was gone. She wasn't coming back. We all wanted to ask questions, but we knew it wasn't the time or place. Still, I thought that Emily would want some answers later on.

So I let go of Emily and told one of the girls to take my place, so Hannah, thankfully, took ahold of Emily. Emily watched, shell-shocked, as I took one of the police to the side to talk to him.

"Hello, Officer…"

"Dean"

"Okay, Officer Dean. I would like to know what happened to Maya. How did she… die?" I choked out. Tears welled up in my eyes, and he looked sad for me.

"You must be Emily. Here," he slowly took out a piece of paper that was torn at one edge and handed it to me. "She wrote you a letter. I saw it, and grabbed it before anyone else could see it. I could tell that it was personal. I'm not really supposed to answer your questions, but I'm guessing you're her girlfriend." I took the piece of paper without saying a word. He didn't need to know that I wasn't Em. "She was torn to pieces, but there was a suicide note. So we think that she killed herself and then someone came it and tried to disguise her, so they took a knife to her face and body. See, her cuts were fresh, but the body was fairly cold. We aren't really sure though. It was like someone really didn't like her, or they wanted to get back at someone close to her. Nobody has tried to explain it just yet. It's just to disturbing."

I looked at him with a shocked expression. He wasn't supposed to give out any information, but he gave it all away. I didn't think much of it because tears were coming back up. "Thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to us all."

"Us all?"

"Yeah. That's Aria, Hannah, and Emily." I smiled shyly at him. "I'm Spencer, not Emily. But I will make sure she gets this letter. She doesn't know that I came over to ask, so I won't give her the letter just yet. She needs some time. But really, thank you Officer Dean. It means a lot."

"And you let me ramble on thinking that a beautiful girl like you was a lesbian?" He sighed, and I looked over at him rather nervously. Was this Officer about to ask me out? "Well, now that we have that all cleared up, how would you like to go get a drink with me?" Yes. Yes he was about to ask me out.

"I can't."

"Oh." He looked rather disappointed. "You probably want to spend time with your friends. I understand."

"Not only that, but she's taken." I heard a familiar voice come from behind me. I turned to find Toby standing there, waiting for my response to the Officer behind me.

"Sorry Officer." I threw over my shoulder. "I'm taken."

"Oh." The officer said uncomfortably. "Well then, I'll just be on my way."

I ran over to pull Toby into a hug, and started to sob. "I can't believe that she's gone." I said suddenly. He took me back into the hug, and whispered something that unsettled my nerves, not that they weren't already

"I didn't know you cared about her so much. You two weren't really friends, were you?" I looked up at him, and he wiped away a stray tear that had started to fall.

"No, but I care about you. Do you promise that you won't leave me?" I looked up at him, fresh tears threatening to fall. He doesn't understand what I meant by leave. I don't want him to go away like Maya did. He pulled me into a kiss, quick but passion-filled.

"Promise?" I questioned when he didn't say anything, but responded with a kiss.

"I swear on my life." He said honestly. He really did love her, but promising on his life wasn't going to help.

"Promise on… promise on my life." I whispered.

"I'm not putting your life in danger." He said instantly.

"So you are going to leave me." I said harshly, pain covering my face.

"NO! You misunderstood. I mean, what if I go missing, or I'm murdered? I can't help that." Tears filled my eyes, and I started to sob. You see, that's what I picture every time I close my eyes, him, the most important person in my life, being slaughtered. I sobbed even louder as I saw the knife from the person with a black hood's hand coming down on Toby's adorable face. Or, even worse, Melissa's hand holding the knife, stabbing him over and over. My sobs had gotten out of hand now, and Toby was holding me, trying to take back what he had said, realizing that, something he had said was defiantly wrong. He didn't know what, but whatever it was that she was going to tell him had something to do with what happened to Maya. He was holding me close to his chest, trying so desperately to comfort me. Eventually, after about fifteen minutes of me sobbing into his now soaked shirt, I started to calm down. I looked up at him and glared.

"Never, and I mean never, say that every again." I said sternly.

"I won't and I promise on your life that I will never leave you. Never." I smiled up at him, and pressed my lips to his. Smiling into the familiar contact, he deepened our wonderful kiss. My heart was fluttering, and I couldn't help but laugh a little bit. He chuckled and I took this time to be bold and shove my tongue into his mouth. He wasn't getting away thing time. The same officer that had asked me out broke off our passion filled kiss.

"Excuse me, but we're trying to do our job. Can you please move?" He was rather bitter than the first time that we had talked. I looked over at him and gave him a rather smartass comment.

"Can't you go around?" I gave him an innocent smile, and he smiled a sarcastic smile right back at me.

"No ma'am. You're in the middle of the road."

"Oh… Sorry. We'll just have to continue in the grass, Toby." I shot a smile back at my boyfriend; at least, I hope he was my boyfriend. I'll ask later. Officer Dean said his thanks and left. I grabbed Toby's hand and walked into the grass. I slowly wrapped my arms around his neck and continued our previous actions. As the kiss ended, we were both a mess. Toby's hair was a mess, as well as mine. My tight top was above my stomach, and my lips were probably really swollen. I looked over at the love of my life and we both started to laugh lightly. We were happily in love. I gave Toby a quick kiss and told him I needed to head back over to my friends. He agreed and told me that we would talk later. He started to turn away, but I grabbed his hand. He wasn't leaving my side.

"I need you. Don't leave me." Concern was all in my voice as I pleaded with him to stay with me.

"Okay, I won't leave." He looked so concerned for me. I smiled up at him and led him over to my friends.

"Guys, we're all staying in the barn tonight. I can get my parents to agree, and, frankly, I couldn't care a horse's crap about Melissa. Em, do you want to come? We will be here for you, weather you want to come or not. But I really think you should come, you're not staying alone. Not tonight." She nodded in agreement, and we all started the short walk to my house. Every little sound on the way was torture. We were probably the jumpiest girls Toby had ever seen.

When we reached my house, we all started running. I couldn't stand another moment out in the black night anymore. I swung the door open and rushed in. I grabbed the keys to the barn and went to the door. I opened it and almost smacked into Melissa.

"Hey! Watch it! Wait… why do you have the keys to the barn?" She asked.

"We're taking it tonight. We need a girls night out, and the barn is away from everyone." I stated simply.

"You're not taking the barn."

"That's funny, I don't remember asking." I said instantly. I knew she was going to tell me that I couldn't, but I didn't expect her to grab my arm. She tightened her grip when I tried to tear it away.

"Be careful Spencer, there are some dangerous people out there, and I know you don't want to be on their bad sides."

"Let go of me Melissa. The only bad people out there are the people that are right under our noses. Don't forget that." She let go, shocked at my retort, and I stormed off, the girls following me.

"What the hell was that?" Hannah whispered to me as I unlocked the barn door.

"Hannah, if I knew I would tell you, but it serious sounds like Mona isn't the only A out there." I said reluctantly. Mona was with me when Maya was… you know. Never mind. I'll just tell you later when we aren't all broken." I said. Seconds after I said that, all of our phones rang. We all opened the restricted message.

'Well well well, it looks like Spencer is the smartest of you all. Might wanna watch out, there are some dangerous people out there, but most of them are all under our noses. ;) I'm still here bitches, and I'm angrier than ever.'

We're doomed.

Well isn't this a shock? Not really… we all knew that A was still out there. The real question is who could it be? Poor girls, I hope everyone lives…

Love you all! R&R
