For Mona
"Wait? Holbrook as in the police Holbrook?!" Hannah almost squealed it out.
I suddenly felt myself sobering up, quickly.
"Spencer are you sure?" Emily asked her, a very serious but shocked expression on her face.
"She's sure" Ezra said.
"Wait... Was it Holbrook that threatened you?" I asked Ezra.
"Yes"
Ali cleared her throat and we all looked at her with raised eyebrows, she knew something more, she always did.
"Go on, Ali" Spencer said, rolling her eyes a little.
"Oh don't give me that look Spencer. I was just trying to see what he knew. I think he might have threatened you because of me" Ali said.
"What did you do?" I asked her.
"I sent him an anonymous text telling him I'd report him for kissing Hannah if he didn't tell me what he knew about us" she admitted.
"Ali! What the hell? I kissed him and it was a mistake" Hannah snapped at her.
"Well it worked, he knows about aria and Ezra, which is no secret to be honest... He doesn't have anything else that could bring us down" she said.
"Great. so you blackmailed the police, to find out what we already knew" Spencer said.
"I was desperate!" Ali snapped back.
"Alright, so why was he threatening to hurt Aria?" Emily asked Ezra.
"He had a note in his desk saying that I knew Ali's kidnapping story was a fake, obviously one of 'A's' stunts" Ezra claimed.
"So we know nothing! Great" Hannah sighed.
"Well that's that then, back to square one" Emily said, standing up.
"Where are you going?" Hannah asked her.
"Home, while I wait for another text from 'A' rubbing it in my face that we are completely clueless once again" she sighed.
Everyone followed her out until eventually me and Ezra were the last ones in his apartment. He tilted his head a little and smiled at me sympathetically.
"You going to be alright?" He asked me.
I nodded at him then smiled back softly. He stepped forward and put his arms around me, pulling me tight against his chest, before kissing the top of my head. There was honestly no better place than being in Ezra's arms, I felt safe and warm. Although I still hadn't got around to forgiving him about the whole book thing.
I pulled out of the hug and stretched to a smile. "Goodnight Ezra"
"Goodnight, Aria"
I walked slowly down to the street, Spencer's car horn beeping at me certainly woke me up. I rolled my eyes and got into her car.
"You're stopping at mine tonight, by the way" she informed me.
"Good idea, I'll just text Mike" I said.
"What about your dad?" Spencer asked me.
"He's been working out of town all week, he wouldn't even know I haven't been home for the past two nights" I told her.
"What the hell?" Spencer exclaimed.
I looked at her wondering why she found it so weird my dad had been working away, but soon realised she was concentrating on something much different.
Spencer pulled up outside Mona's house, followed by the other girls behind us. There were police and ambulance everywhere. We got out of the car and walked closer, joining the growing crowd.
"Hannah!" Ali shouted. We all watched as Hannah raced over towards Hannah's mum, who was crying and screaming hysterically.
"Was Miss Mona Vanderwaal murdered?" A reporter asked Holbrook. "We are treating this crime as a murder although we have no body" he admitted before walking away.
"Oh my god" Emily said.
We all stood there in shock. Mona was dead.
We eventually managed to drag Hannah away from Mona's mom, she wasn't in the best of ways so we all went back to Spencer's.
The drive back was quiet, only Hannah's phone bleeping.
"Do you want me to answer that?" I asked her.
Hannah passed her phone to me. "It's just voicemail" she sighed, leant against Emily.
I put her phone on speaker, we were Ll soon alert as we heard the voicemail, it was from Mona.
"Hannah, it's Mona. I need you and your friends to come over now, I know who A is and I can prove it" that was all we heard before she hung up.
"Oh my god, do you think A killed Mona?" Emily asked us.
"I'm going to find A and going to kill that bitch" Hannah said, angrily.
"For Mona" she added.
"For Mona" I also added, the girls agreeing.
