Chapter 3
Alison was frozen from shock. The guy she loved just collapsed from something his sister poisoning his drink. She knew that she was the intended target not Mike. Mike must have at least suspected something was wrong because he handed her the blue cup.
She took one look at Aria and then her shock turned into rage. She might have killed Mike and she was going to get what was coming to her. Aria decided to run. That was the smartest thing she could have done.
After Aria left she turned her attention to Mike. He just saved her life but it may have come at the cost of his own. Emily had thankfully called an ambulance and it was already here.
She was going to change and then head straight to the hospital. Alison prayed that Mike survived this. If he didn't she wouldn't know how to go on.
Emily was just as shocked as Alison. She knew that Aria was upset and maybe she had a right to be. However, Aria had gone way too far. She might have killed her own brother because of her anger.
She was aiming for Alison but that didn't make it any better. Aria should have realized that her brother would protect Alison. Maybe she did know it. That is what made it worse. She knew her brother would take the poison meant for Alison but she still went through with it.
Emily had to admit that Aria probably didn't mean for it to happen that way. This was the final straw. They all have A to worry about and here Aria is trying to ruin a relationship.
She was starting to wonder if Aria was worse than A. A may have been a lot of things but at least you knew where you stood with her. Aria may have just sacrificed her own brother so she could get rid of Alison.
It was a miracle that the ambulance showed up when it did. Mike at least had a chance of surviving this. It was a small chance but it was a chance nonetheless. The only way this could get any worse was if A struck now.
Emily was going to take Alison to the hospital after she got dressed.
Kenneth DiLaurentis had just got out of the hotel and was on his way home. After his trip to Florida he had to go home and make sure his daughter was okay. He had come home early because of what happened to him.
He was worried that while he was in Florida, someone was targeting Alison. At first he just thought that way because Jason was back. That would explain a lot of it. Ever since he came back to Rosewood he has caused nothing but problems.
The thing that really confused him was that the problems he was causing was nowhere near the family. In fact there was no way that any of the problems he caused recently could be traced back to either him or Alison.
That fact didn't do much to ease his fears. It only increased his worry. Before he left for Florida he heard rumors about this person called A. At first he didn't believe this A even existed. After all, if this A was real then that meant they had limitless funding. When you consider who this A was supposedly targeting it could be assumed that this A was around the age of his daughter.
There was absolutely no way a kid around his daughters age could have access to that much funding. Plus A had sounded like a criminal mastermind with years of experience under his or her belt.
Kenneth kept trying to deny the existence of A until he saw an ambulance. At first it didn't bother him until he realized that the ambulance was coming from the direction of his house.
It didn't confirm that A existed but it did make him risk a few speeding tickets on the way home. When he got back home he got the feeling that the ambulance did come to his house because his daughter was crying profusely.
The last time she had cried like that was when he had the heart attack on the porch right where he collapsed. Kenneth was now sure he knew exactly what happened.
His daughter crying like that gave him the answer he needed. Alison has only cried for two people and one of them was him. The other was Mike Montgomery. Something had happened here and it caused Mike to be taken to the hospital.
Now this A started to sound real to him. Alison didn't have a lot of friends but he didn't know anyone that hated her enough to kill her boyfriend. He would worry about this A problem later right now he had to comfort his daughter and figure out what to do about this.
He got out of his car and started walking closer. Alison showed no reaction. That worried him. Alison must be too upset to acknowledge his presence. Emily had tried to get a response out of her and failed. When he sat down on the step next to his daughter he saw Alison react.
She had buried her face into his chest and he could feel his shirt getting soaked. He couldn't get any answers out of his daughter but at least she had calmed down enough to take a deep breath.
Emily knew that when he turned his gaze to her he wanted the full story. However time was of the essence so she gave him the abridged version.
" Yesterday Mike and Alison were really hitting it off. This morning she was worried about Aria doing something to her or Mike. When Aria did come over today she handed Mike the two coffee cups that were sitting on the table. Aria looked happy because she thought Mike was going to hand Alison a pink cup. Her expression went from happiness to horror when he gave Alison a blue cup. Mike had collapsed after he drunk from the pink cup."
Kenneth now knew what had transpired earlier. Mike and Alison were having coffee this morning when Aria showed up. Mike must have knew something up when Aria looked like she was trying to help. Mike gave his daughter his cup of coffee because he was worried his sister was trying to hurt Alison. Aria was horrified because Mike collapsed from drinking out of the pink cup.
Aria had put something in the pink cup hoping his daughter would drink from it. This explained why Alison was so distraught. Mike had saved his daughter's life but it may have been at the cost of his own.
This proved that his fears were true. Kenneth wasn't going to standby and let the kid who saved his daughters life die like this. He was going to go the hospital and make sure that the doctors did everything they could to save his life. After he was released Kenneth would make sure his daughter saw her boyfriend make a full recovery.
His daughter had started to feel a little better as soon as they got into the car to go to the hospital. As they were driving they all thought about the situation. Alison was praying Mike was alive. Kenneth was thinking about what they would see at the hospital. They might not be let in at first but all he would have to do is write a check and then they would be told exactly where Mike was. There was also the matter of his sister. Aria had did this to him so she should kept far away from him at least until he made a full recovery. Emily was worried for Alison. If Mike died she didn't know what Alison would do. Even though there were no words spoken between them they all realized that Aria would pay for this. The only problem with that is the lack of communication between them on the subject could lead to disaster.
At Rosewood Hospital doctors were working fast to save Mike Montgomery's life. It was a miracle the kid survived the trip to the hospital. It took hours but they were finally able to get the poison out of his system.
Now that Mike is out of danger for the moment the doctors needed answers. His stomach showed that the poison was ingested with coffee. No kid would poison themselves like that so who did it?
They need to know so they could ensure the protection of there patient. One of the doctors that saved Mike's life had a daughter that was friends with him. The doctor would have to tell her daughter before someone else did. Her daughter was a monster when she was upset.
First she needed to get answers. The doctor told everyone that she wanted to see anyone that came in to see him. There was a possibility that the person who poisoned him was coming and she was going to stop this person before they finished the job.
She should have been paying attention to one of the nurses. If she did she would have noticed that this fake nurse was actually Mona.
Aria was back home. She couldn't believe what had happened. She had poisoned her own brother. Mike wasn't the intended victim but that didn't make it any better. If anything it made her feel worse.
She had thought Alison would be using the pink cup. Mike must have known she would try something. He was once a proud member of the A team. He was one of the highest ranking members of the A team if the rumors were to be believed.
When Mike was kicked out of the A team he still had the loyalty of a few members of the current A team. She was in a lot of trouble to say the least.
If Mike wanted to he could have a few of those guys deal with her. That is one possibility. He also knew about her and Ezra. Mike could expose them anytime he wanted and after this stunt he may do exactly that.
Ezra would lose his job. The police would arrest him. If that wasn't bad enough her father would probably kill him. Ezra and her would no longer be a couple. This would ruin her and Mike knew that.
He had a good enough reason to already. She had cost him his relationship with Mona when she figured out Mona was A. Even though Mona was A she and her brother were happy together.
She hoped that Mike wasn't a firm believer in an eye for an eye. If he wasn't, then there was a small chance that he might let this go after a while.
Of course there was a much better chance of Mike doing something far worse. After all members of the A team were dangerous and former members might be more so. After all they could get the revenge they wanted without A telling them no.
There was also a strong possibility of having to deal with Mona. Even though Mona was no longer dating her brother she still had feelings for him. When she found out what had happened to Mike it would get ugly.
She shuddered at the thought of an angry Mona after her. When Mona was A she wasn't angry. If Mona could do all the stuff she did as A while she was calm just imagine what would happen if Mona's rage was focused purely on you.
She then turned her thoughts back to the incident that nearly killed her brother. She had put some sort of powder in the pink cup thinking it would be the cup that Alison drank from.
Aria was confident that she would succeed because she saw that Mike was about to hand the pink cup to Alison. However her confidence had abandoned her when Mike gave Alison the blue cup instead.
Mike must have felt that something was off. Aria figured that since Mike had realized something was off he wouldn't drink out of the pink cup. She was astounded when her theory was proven wrong.
Why did Mike drink from that cup if he knew something was off? Aria knew that her brother wasn't suicidal. He never displayed any suicidal tendencies. Then the answer hit her and the guilt came crashing over her.
Mike did this to prove a point to her. He knew she didn't approve of his relationship. By taking the poison for her, Mike made his message abundantly clear. He would take any of the shots meant for Alison even though it would mean he would be suffering.
She didn't exactly know what the powder was. The only thing she thought she knew about it was it would make Alison sick. Aria learned that around the time she discovered Mona was A. She had kept records of everyone and when she was uncovered they were abandoned but not destroyed.
Aria then remembered something she thought about a few weeks ago. Aria believed that since none of the files were destroyed it was likely that they were still in Mona's old lair. Her theory about what happened to them was blown out of the water when she realized no else knew about said records.
She had went back to Mona's old lair weeks ago but the records were gone and there was no evidence of them even existing. This could only mean that Mona went back to retrieve her old records.
Now she has a Mona who knows everything about her and because Mike was in the hospital she had a reason to use that information against her.
That wasn't the worst threat and it wasn't the scariest either. She remembered the moment when the look on Alison's face changed from shock to unadulterated rage. She immediately realized that Aria intended to hurt her.
Aria had noticed that Alison's gaze flickered between her and a knife that was nearby. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what Alison wanted to do and so Aria got out there as fast as possible.
She had seen Emily call an ambulance before she fled. Judging by how much time went by after she left Mike should be at the hospital.
Aria needed to get to the hospital. She had to know her brother would live. Then again it may not be such a good idea. Alison would be there and she is good at making problems disappear. Emily knew Alison wouldn't want Aria anywhere near Mike so she would probably help keep Aria away.
However, she had to see for herself just what happened. Maybe she didn't have to go alone. After all her dad was coming home soon. She would go with him. Also, Alison wouldn't dare try anything since she wouldn't be coming alone.
Byron Montgomery had just gotten home. He had left Florida shortly after he had that conversation with Kenneth DiLaurentis. That conversation may have been tense but it wasn't the reason he was coming home early.
He had a feeling deep in his gut that told him something was wrong with his son. Byron was surprised. He thought that he would have that feeling about his daughter. Then again maybe he shouldn't be so surprised.
After all Aria had done enough in a few years time to make his hair turn permanently gray. She was seeing Ezra still. He didn't approve of it. Byron never liked the guy. He was given enough reasons not to.
Did that really matter? No. Aria knew about it and still saw him anyway. Aria's mom want helping the matter either.
What could he do? If he forbid his daughter from seeing Ezra, she would just do it behind his back.
He would have to hold that thought because he got a call from the hospital.
Mike was there because someone poisoned his drink. At that moment his daughter came down the stairs. Byron was surprised that he didn't see any signs of surprise on his daughter's face when he told her.
That was another thing that would be dealt with later. Right now he had to get to the hospital and find out the whole story.
Kenneth, Alison, and Emily had just arrived at the hospital.
A nurse asked them if they were here to see Mike and when they said yes she lead them to the doctor that saved his life.
The doctor asked " Do you know what happened to Mike Montgomery?" She was careful to avoid saying anything about poison because only a few people would know about it and one of those people was the poisoner.
Alison was the one who answered.
" His sister had poisoned his drink. She was hoping it was mine but Mike drunk it instead."
The doctor believed her. A sister rarely poisons her brother on purpose. However if the sister and the brother's girlfriend don't get along things could get nasty fairly quickly. Also, Alison looked her straight in the eye the entire time. A liar would usually give off some signal they are lying and she couldn't sense any deception in her words. Since she was a mother herself she knew how to tell if a teen was lying to her and this girl was telling the truth.
The doctor told a nurse nearby to lead them to his room.
That nurse was Mona Vanderwaal.
Mona was shocked. She knew Aria would try something, she planned on that. However, she could have ended his life. Mona had managed to overhear some of the doctors other conversations about Mike.
The powder that was in his system caused his heart to give out. She knew Aria meant for Alison to take the poison. She should have taken into account the fact that Mike protects the people he loves.
She can still remember when she was one of those people. He was the only guy that made her fell genuinely loved and in her anger ruined a wonderful relationship. Those were the best months of her life and now they were gone.
How could she have been so stupid? It wasn't his fault that she was discovered as A. Now he was with Alison because she made that one mistake.
She couldn't stand it. Mona tried to make everything right but Alison got to him first. She wasn't going to take this lying down. Mona knew Alison. She knew that she never cared about anyone but herself.
However, Mike doesn't believe that. That wasn't too surprising considering Alison never did anything to him. She thought since Mike was Aria's brother he would be a victim of Alison's manipulation at some point before now.
Unfortunately, there was no way to prove Alison was manipulating Mike. Any evidence that could say that was circumstantial at best. That meant only one option since blackmail was out of the picture.
Mona would have to use the power of seduction to get Mike back. That is how she got him the first time. She couldn't start making moves out of the blue. Alison wasn't perfect and everyone knew it.
Eventually she would make a mistake that would drive a wedge between her and Mike. That is when she would strike. Once there relationship hit a rough patch it would be easy to turn on the charm and worm her way back in.
If that didn't work she would try tugging on his heart strings. She looked at the locket Mike gave her one time and opened it up. Inside was a picture of her and Mike on there 6 month anniversary.
She believes Mike still cares for her. After all, If he didn't he could have gotten his A team pals to dispose of her. She may have been the boss but the employees were loyal to Mike and Mike alone.
There was one in particular that she was worried about. It was a girl named Brianna. She had long black hair and long legs. She had the perfect body and she was worried that Mike and Brianna would have started dating but they never did.
They were really close. You could say they were best friends and you could also say they were like brother and sister. The reason that Brianna and Mike never dated was because Brianna is a lesbian or bisexual at the very least. It didn't matter to her because her and Mike never dated. However, Brianna was the only girl that really scared her.
The reason Mona was worried was Brianna is dangerous. She had suffered a life of abuse and in turn she shut everyone out before they got too close. Mike was the only who kept trying and never gave up.
Eventually Brianna confided in him that she was gay. Mike was the one who helped her come out and they have been inseparable ever since. When Brianna found out about Mike being hurt she would be pissed.
When Brianna found out Mike's sister Aria was the one who poisoned her all hell would break loose. Aria better pray Brianna never gets her hands on her. The thought of what would happen to Aria once Brianna caught her almost made Mona feel sorry for her.
For now, she had to lead Alison , her dad, and Emily to Mike's room. Once Brianna was done with Aria, maybe she could convince her to go after Alison and Hanna. Mona knew that both of them had to go in order for her plan to be perfect.
Brianna Palmer was at home trying to relax.
She works out everyday for hours to get this body. Her last girlfriend had dumped her when she said no to sex. It was the first date. Brianna is the kind of person who wants to get know the person she is dating before she sleeps with them.
Her last girlfriend thought she could get her drunk and take advantage of her. Brianna punched her in the mouth and told her " not on the first date." The other girl got upset and dumped her then and there.
She may not show it but that hurt her. Is that all people want from her? She had brains too. Brianna had spent the last hour crying about it. Everyone who she tried to date only wanted sex from her.
At least she had Mike Montgomery. He was her best and only friend really. She pushed him away at first expecting him to give up on her like all the others. Mike never quit trying. He kept trying to worm his way into her heart and eventually broke down the walls of stone that she took years to build.
When Brianna told Mike she was gay, he accepted it and stood by her. Every other guy didn't want anything to do with her after that. She helped him get Mona and it lasted a long time until Mona broke up with him because she thought he ratted her out.
Was she that stupid? When they were all on the A team, Brianna told Mona she needed to change her tactics if she didn't want to be exposed. Even Mike had told her that numerous times. She didn't listen to him and look where they are now.
Mona was lucky Mike asked Brianna not to do anything. She didn't like it but she respected Mike's choice. Brianna knew Alison DiLaurentis liked him. She saw Alison attack any other girl that got close to him. She was safe since every one knew she was gay.
Alison probably wondered what exactly happened to Courtney after Alison left the cabin. Brianna went inside to find the girl breathing but unconscious. When Courtney woke up Brianna asked her what had happened.
Courtney refused to cooperate at first so Ms. Palmer convinced her that it was in her best interests to cooperate. Even after that talk she still wouldn't cooperate. Brianna was now upset. Maybe a little pain would change her mind. Brianna hit her in the exact same spot Alison had targeted just a few Minutes ago.
Now Courtney decided to answer her question. Apparently Alison saw her having sex with Mike and was enraged. Brianna was to because Courtney was a whore and even she would admit it.
Anyway that is not what bothered her. What bothered her is Courtney must have done something else to set Alison off. After all, she has done stuff like this to the other girls but that was because those girls tried getting close to him more than once.
Brianna thought that Courtney would cooperate when she asked her what else she did. She thought wrong. Courtney did more than simply refuse to cooperate. She cursed at her. That didn't bother Brianna but it was what Courtney did next that angered her.
Courtney slapped her across the face. She looked smug about it at first but when Brianna looked at her she knew she had done it now. Brianna grabbed her by the throat and threw her across the room.
Courtney should have realized that she wasn't a weak little girl. She was a strong women. She is the total package. Brianna was about to kick the shit out of her but she needed answers first and for that Courtney needed to be conscious.
Luckily, Courtney now had a sense of self preservation. She realized Brianna Palmer was not a woman to be crossed. Courtney knew that if she kept up this act of belligerence she might end up dead. So she decided to tell Brianna the whole truth.
Courtney said " just take him. I don't want him. I just wanted sex not a relationship. I tricked him into thinking just so I could have sex with him."
If Courtney thought that the truth was going to get her out of trouble, she was sorely mistaken. The truth enraged Brianna. Her friend wanted this girl and she was going to use him for sex.
She may have told the truth like Brianna wanted but now it was time for her to pay. Courtney wouldn't leave this place alive. She signed her death warrant the minute she admitted to using her only friend for sex.
Brianna kicked Courtney in the side of the head knocking her out. She then started a fire on the inside of the cabin before leaving. There was no need to cover it up. There was no way the cops would trace it back to her since every wife and high school girl in Rosewood had a reason to kill her.
However she decided not to stick around just in case someone was watching her.
That was then this now. Brianna was thinking of more memories of her and Mike when she got a call from her mom.
Mike was in the hospital. It was like some invisible force sucked all the air out of her.
She had decided to head to the hospital right away judging by the tone in her voice. She used a tone that suggested Mike might not survive this. This cant be happening. He was the one guy that was always there for her and now he might be gone.
No, she couldn't accept this. He had to be ok when she got there.
As Alison, Kenneth and Emily were being lead down the hall by Mona, who was disguised as a nurse, Alison was spotted by two people.
" What brings you here Adrian?"
" I had to come down here to get some test results. Why are you here?"
Alison just stood there for a minute and Adrian realized this was a painful subject for Alison. Before Adrian could do anything to comfort her Alison started to speak.
" My boyfriend Mike Montgomery was poisoned by his own sister. She was trying to hurt me but Mike ingested the poison. The doctors said there was still a chance that he may not make it."
Before Adrian could say anything Alison was walking away. She must really like this guy. Adrian pulled Ricky over to the side before she follows Alison.
" Ricky I need you to do something for me."
At first Ricky Underwood didn't want to do it. After all, the minute Alison finished telling her what happened Adrian got this look in her eye. It was a look that promised retribution.
However this was important to his fiancé. He is in love with Adrian and would do anything for her. Plus the look her in eyes told him he was going to do it whether he liked it or not.
"What is it?"
" I need you to find out what happened to Alison's boyfriend. After all, you have police friends down here who would be more than willing to help you. I want to know where his sister lives. She may have killed her own brother and she tried to hurt Alison.
Ricky expected this request. No one hurts someone Adrian cares about and gets away with it. Right now he couldn't do much. This event only happened today so it was highly unlikely the police knew anything about it yet.
Plus you have the face that the victim was poisoned by his own sister. That means there was a good chance the father would not press charges. Even if this did go to court, the perpetrator would get off easy. That was the problem with the justice system. The criminals get arrested, they go to court, and most of the time the judge lets off with something akin to a slap on the wrist.
There was one thing he could do. He could find out this kid's address. After all, they were brother and sister so it was likely everyone in Mike's room would know the address except for him and Adrian.
With that final thought He followed Adrian to Mike's room. On the way there he kept getting the feeling something was wrong with the nurse that escorted them. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but he had a feeling she needed to be watched.
Brianna Palmer finally made it to the hospital after what seemed like an eternity.
She risked multiple speeding tickets to get her but at last she arrived.
The first thing was head for Mike's room. The only problem with that is she had no idea where his room was. Brianna should have checked with her mom before rushing down here.
Fortunately for her , her mom was waiting for her and Brianna literally ran into her.
After getting back on her feet she told her daughter to take the elevator to the 4th floor and it was the first room on the right past the nurses station. She then moved out of the way just in case Brianna ran into her again.
Brianna finally got to Mike's room and it was worse than she thought. Mike was laying in the bed. His skin was pale. He looked like he was simply sleeping but she learned enough from her mother to know that wasn't the case.
He was in a coma and he might die. Alison was sitting on the right side of his bed holding his hand. Brianna took one look at the nurse in the room and glared at her. She knew that nurse was really Mona in disguise.
She was instantly suspicious. If Mona wore a nurses outfit to get in chances are she wasn't here to help. However no one else seemed to notice until Alison looked over and saw the nurse herself. She looked vaguely familiar but she had no idea who that was.
That was when Brianna whispered "Mona" in her ear. Now it all made sense. Mona was either a nurse here or she heard about Mike in the hospital. Either way, she cant be trusted. She was never going to be alone with Mike in the hospital and you can take that to the bank. Aria was the other person who would never be alone with Mike in this room.
When Brianna got her hands on Aria she would experience a level pain that has never before been reached. Aria would learn that you never mess with someone Brianna Palmer cares about.
Byron and Aria had made it to the hospital.
During the ride over Byron and Aria talked about what happened to Mike. Byron was now suspicious of his own daughter. At first he wasn't but then he noticed her tone when answering the question.
Some answers were completely devoid of emotion. That was unsettling to say the least. You would think she would have some sort of emotion in her voice when talking about her only sibling being in the hospital.
Her other answers weren't much better. The tone in her voice said that she wasn't shocked by what happened. It was almost like she knew everything about the incident. That was highly disturbing because the only person who would know everything about this incident is the one who poisoned his son.
It cant be. Aria wouldn't try to kill her own brother. They were so close when they were kids. In fact they were almost inseparable until Alison came into the picture. Now there was Aria's motive if she was the one who did it.
Aria wasn't trying to poison Mike. She was aiming for Alison. Those two brought out the worst in each other so in a way it made sense that Aria would try something like this. However, if she did do it she couldn't have acted alone.
His daughter didn't know anything about poisoning someone. Wait a minute. What was he thinking? His daughter wouldn't do a thing like this. Byron thought that he was grasping at straws trying to figure it out.
He put those thoughts in the back of his mind until he and his daughter got to Mike's room.
Once they got in there everyone in the room glared at Aria. That confirmed his worst fears. Aria must have done it. The two girls sitting by Mike's bed looked like they were three seconds from ripping Aria's head off. What has she done? In a moment of anger she destroyed the relationship the two had. There was little chance of them reconciling after this.
Byron was never angrier with his daughter than he was right now. She may have killed her own brother. He was so angry he was considering throwing her to the wolves. Then he turned his gaze to his son.
His son was lying there possibly fighting for his life. This was a parents worst nightmare. Hopefully he woke up soon. Then he looked at the other people in the room. There was Emily, Kenneth, Alison, and Mike's best friend Brianna.
They wouldn't let Aria anywhere near Mike. He was surprised they even let him this close considering he was the one who brought Aria with him.
Alison was sitting by Mike's side hoping and praying that he would wake up.
She had just made him hers. He couldn't die now.
They still had so many things to do. Just this morning she would have talked to him about going on a trip with her. Now everything might be ruined thanks to his sister Aria Montgomery.
She was lucky that no one could do anything to her here. If Mike didn't make it, she would die plain and simple. Then whoever gave her the poison would die as well and she had a pretty good idea who gave it to her.
It was Jason. She should have expected something like this from him. He has been much too quiet since her dad had that heart attack. He was never really home since that heart attack either.
He was going to pay. Even if he didn't give her the powder he had pointed Aria in the right direction. It made her wonder. Was Jason on the A team? He did try to hurt her on more than one occasion and now he had a hand in hurting her boyfriend.
She took Mike's hand and held it. It couldn't end like this.
It wouldn't end like this. She wished there was something else she could do. If he does wake up, she would make sure they never end up in this situation again. He protected her and now she would return the favor.
She didn't cry but she wanted to. The only reason she didn't cry was because Mike could wake up at any minute and see her cry. He hated seeing her cry. Aria tried to take a step closer to Mike's bed but one glare from Alison stopped her in her tracks.
It was good that Aria was feeling guilty but Alison was still disgusted with her. She tried to move closer to the bed and it only took a single glare to stop her. Aria was pathetic. She never once apologized for doing this to him. She hasn't really given much indication she was sorry either.
Make no mistake about it. Aria will apologize to him at the first opportunity or she will not live to regret it. Alison wasn't just going to accept a simple apology. She would still have to pay Aria back and by the looks of it everyone else was feeling the same way.
Alison hated this whole situation. The guy she loved was laying in a hospital bed and all she could do was watch. To make matters worse, the person that was responsible for all of this was just a few feet away from her and she couldn't put a finger on her.
Judging by the look on Brianna's face, Alison guessed she would be the first person to get revenge on Aria. Normally she would be the first and only person to take revenge but this time is different.
She had to make sure he makes a full recovery. Alison would tie him to the bed if she had to. The thought caused her to blush a little bit. There was another reason that she wasn't going to take revenge this time.
This was Brianna's only friend. All of Brianna's energy would be focused on making Aria pay. Alison couldn't focus all of her attention on revenge unfortunately. Also, Alison has seen the way Brianna deals with problems.
Alison wasn't afraid of her but she wouldn't want to be on Brianna's bad side that's for sure.
Alison felt her hand being squeezed and she was relieved. Mike was going to make it and now he at least knows he is not alone.
A few minutes later Mike opened his eyes and that is when things started to look up and break down.
