Chapter 2: The Meeting
Hanna opened her eyes to Caleb's concerned face looming over her. "W-what happened?" She stuttered, confused. "You passed out, Hanna. Are you okay?" Said Caleb, pulling her up off the floor and onto a chair. Hanna remembered what Aria told her, why she fainted, but decided it was too early to let Caleb know. "Y-yeah, yeah. Honestly, I'm fine. I must have just got dizzy or something." Hanna resented lying to her husband, but this was something she had to talk to the others about first. Caleb frowned, but gave her a kiss on the forehead, standing up. "Alright, but tell me if you feel like that again, ok?" Hanna nodded, and Caleb left the room. Hanna sighed and texted the group chat: 'Meet at The Brew at 7pm.'
The girls, Hanna, Aria, Emily, Spencer, and Alison, were sitting in a corner in The Brew, with warm mugs of tea and coffee. They were huddled together tightly, so that no one could hear what they were saying. Hanna had her head in her hands, Aria was twitching nervously, and the others were sipping coffee to stop themselves from having a nervous breakdown. " What?" Hanna blurted out suddenly, "What are we going to do? First 'A', then 'A.D', now this 'A2' thing? This has to be a hoax!" Emily shook her head,
"I don't think so. Who would play such a sick joke on us?" Spencer suddenly shouted, "Noel K- Oh, I guess I forgot he was dead. He was just always to one with the stupid tricks." Aria sighed. "What are we going to tell our husbands? Oh, and wives of course, although you guys are both here." She said, nodding at Emily and Alison.
"I don't know guys." Said Alison. "I think you should all wait. We have to figure something out first before you tell your husbands." The others nodded in agreement.
"Hey, Hanna? What happened when we were talking earlier? You just went silent!" Questioned Aria. "Oh, sorry. Baby Charlie needed feeding." Lied Hanna. She didn't want to tell the others what really happened. She was too scared in case this 'A2' found out Hanna was easily scared. It could be used against her somehow. "Anyway, guys, we have to think this, cross people off our list, okay?" Said Spencer. "Okay. I don't think it's Alex." Said Alison, and the others agreed. "She's locked up in Welby, she can only have visits, or supervised phone calls." "Hmm, I suppose you're right Ali. I went to see her last week. She still has that annoying accent! She may be my identical twin, but I really wish she was less of a nutcase." Chuckled Spencer. "Well who else are we suspecting now?" Said Aria. "No one, at the moment anyway. There just isn't anyone left to suspect. I mean, Sara Harvey? Gone. Charlotte? Also gone. Replied Emily."I guess you're right Em. Let's just play it by ear." Said Spencer.
Spencer sat with Toby, watching TV in their living room. Toby still misssed Yvonne, but Spencer was just too good to resist. He had proposed to her last year, then they had eloped in Paris. They bought their first home together, a cosy bungalow, with plenty of room outside for Spencer's horses. They had gotten even closer to eachother that time Toby had to choose which twin was which. Just knowing that Toby had all those little details about her and her interests, enough to save her from being dragged down by Alex. Toby had his arm around Spencer. She knew she was lucky to have him. Suddenly, her phone pinged. This wasn't good. She quietly got off the sofa, and walked out or the room. Just as she had feared, there was another dreaded message. 'You think your pathetic life is perfect? Dream on, Spence. You won't be so happy soon.' -A2
