Chapter 4

I walked into the Café that Emily works at about 20 minutes after leaving the hospital. When I got in the passenger seat of the car, I sent all 3 of my friends an "S.O.S" text telling them to meet me here. None of them were here yet so I walked up to the counter and ordered a black coffee with nothing in it. When my drink came out I was to nervous to sit down. I slowly paced walking in and out of tables. I heard the bell on the door and my head turned around so quickly my dark brown hair wiped around. Emily walked in her face slightly flushed. I waved her over. My nerves were a bit better and I was able to talk to Emily. I wouldn't tell her what was wrong yet but we chatted about her girlfriend, Paige and school. The bell rang again and Hanna walked in. Aria was about 10 steps behind her.

With all my friends around the table I finally told them what was wrong. I showed them the texts from "A" and they all gasped wondering what it meant.

"Could it mean…" Hanna trailed off. We could tell she was deep in thought.

"No Toby wouldn't do that" Emily said. "We know Toby, he's a good guy and he takes care of Spencer plus he's friends with all off us."

" Em, that's what we thought about Nate and look what happened", Aria stated. She looked quickly at me " But that doesn't mean he's "A".

"Guys, "A" wants to hurt us and he or she knows what this will do to me and Toby's relationship but I have to find out."

"Well you can't go up to him, Hey Toby just wondering are you the person that's been physically and mentally abusing me and my friends? I bet that would be a great chat" Hanna said using a sarcastic tone.

I glared at her. "I know that but I just need to know" I said sighing. How did my life turn into this mess?
