Spencer sighed as she slowly walked back to her car she was ready to go back to Ravenswood, but before she could unlock her car's door she felt her phone, vibrating in her pocket. She looked at the name on her screen 'Alison', her little sister is calling and she doesn't have a choice, but to answer it.
"Hey, Loser. Are you seriously walking away? I'm actually wondering about how long it will take you to knock, but the door is open.. hurry up."
Spencer didn't answer, she hung up and smiled as she cross the street. This is it, it's now or never, she's finally back in the place where she tried to run away from.

Aria was in her room, she leaned her back against the headboard. Waiting for whoever 'Sjhastings' is, she finally has the courage to send a message to the stranger that she's attracted to. And since she knew she'll never get someone who's decent in the app that she's using, that's why Aria decided to make the first step to find the next person she'll fall in love with. Aria's choice, is 'Sjhastings.'
She heard a knock on the door, before her mother comes in the room.
"Your father and I are waiting for you downstairs, Aren't you hungry?." Mrs. Montgomery asked to her firstborn, a concern look in her face before sitting on Aria's bed.
Aria looked down at her phone, she thinks this is the right time to share what's bothering her. She hasn't told Hanna, but she knew she must tell her parents and whatever their reaction is, she has to deal with it like an adult.
The brunette is about to answer her mother when they heard another knock, she smiled when she saw her father looking at her, waiting for her permission for him to come in. Aria just nodded, before deciding now is the right time to tell them everything.
"Where's Mike?." Aria asked, realizing it was a stupid question and she's about to confess so, she cleared her throat before looking at her parents.
"This is important, and I'm really sorry if it took me a few days to say this to you both.." Her father is smiling, her mother just motion for her to continue.
"I don't know how to say this, I don't even know what this feeling means." Aria was now nervous, she can't find the right words to say and she's really panicking about their reaction, but she needed their approval.
"I... I shouldn't feel this way about girls, and I know it isn't right, but I can't ignore it anymore... and I want you both to be the first one to know about this, and I am really sorry to disappoint you, but this is who I am.. I'm finally accepting this and I want your support.."
Aria felt a tear as she looks back in forth to her parents, she wipes it before smiling to them.
"I'm gay and I'm proud of it, well, yes, I almost tried to change myself and maybe I'm still doing it, but now I'm making this huge step I am ready to tell everyone that I'm not straight and I love girls."
"That's a brave move, sweetheart. I'm so proud of you and of course, we're here to support you." Mr. Montgomery said, as he hugged Aria before kissing her forehead.
"Actually, we noticed about the way you act towards us.. Like you're hiding a secret, but I'm happy that you decided to come out and I hate to break this to you, Honey." Mrs. Montgomery laughed a little, before rubbing Aria's shoulder.
"Your Father and I already knew it. Don't ask us how or why, we don't know the answer. Don't worry about Mike, he knew it too. I'm just happy you accepted the real you. We love you, Aria."
"Thank you so much, I love you both so much. I just wish Mike were here..."
Aria shed a few more tears before hugging both of her parents, finally, she came out. Her next step is, she's going to break it off with Ezra, and she will tell Hanna about her sexuality.

The dinner went well for the Hastings, they talked mostly about her parents' plans in the future and surprisingly Spencer is part of it. They were still sitting because they got a big news for Spencer, but Spencer wasn't really excited about the said news.
"We have a new house in Rosewood, Spencer. We wanted you to live there with Alison." Mr. Hastings announced, as he waited for Spencer to accept his offer.
"I have my own place in Ravenswood, I don't think I want to move in with, Ali."
Spencer glances at her little sister who's looking back at her with a hopeful look in her eyes, She hates it when Alison is being adorable. She uses it every time she wants Spencer to agree with her.
"Why do you choose Rosewood and why are you letting Alison to live all by herself in a different town?." Spencer ask curiously, before glaring at her sister. She's a year older than Alison, and Spencer treats her like a child, but she doesn't care, she's overprotective when it comes to Alison.
"Actually, it's a gift. A late graduation gift. I told them I'll ask you to live with me, since I heard Ravenswood is a creepy town. Move in with me, Spence." Alison winks at her older sister.
Spencer sighed as she thought about the whole Rosewood thing. She won't miss her sisters because she's sure that Melissa will stay with them too, she doesn't have to pay for her apartment, she won't have sleepless nights, she will never feel lonely, she'll be the fun Spencer again. if only she agreed about moving in with Alison.
"One more thing, Spencer. Alison is the new owner of a coffee parlor in Rosewood. The original plan is to buy half of the property, but the previous owner can't maintain having a business where they can't pay the bills for the electricity and all those kind of stuffs, that's why we decided to buy the whole place and we want you to manage the coffee parlor with Alison."
Spencer wasn't sure how to feel, it's too much for her to decide. Her Father is one of the best professors at Brookhaven College, while her Mother is a well known pastry chef in their town. She knew their profession is one of the reason why she hates being a Hastings, all of the people in Brookhaven knew them.
She looked back at her parents, they're good people, both of them are down to earth, they always help the people who's in need, they accepted Spencer when she came out, they're very supportive of their daughters. Spencer knew they were trying so hard to get her back to the family.
"We could check our new home and the brew tomorrow morning. Stay for the night?." Alison exclaimed, Spencer can't help, but to smile.
"I really don't have any other choice, so. Okay.. Alison I'm moving in." Spencer said, as she hugged her sister. She's finally home, she's finally back with her family.

Spencer was laying in her bed, she's in her old room and some of her stuff is gone, she decided to just let it go and she'll asks her sister first thing in the morning. Luckily, some of her clothes that she left are still in her closet.
She changed her clothes when she heard her phone, She wasn't expecting anyone to text her, especially it's past ten in the evening.
ArtsyPhotograpy: You've been ignoring me for an hour now. :(
Spencer looked at her screen, she's a bit confused, she haven't talked to this person in Sky. The app that she uses to waste time if she's bored.
Sjhastings: Hello Unknown, this is the first time you sent a message and you're complaining ;)
ArtsyPhotograpy: Who cares? I've waited for an hour. How are you? ;)
Sjhastings: I'm all good, how about you?
ArtsyPhotograpy: I'm happy! :D I came out to my parents and they support me
Sjhastings: Wow! You shared a personal thing to a stranger, way to go! :p
ArtsyPhotograpy: What's your name, new friend?
Spencer was now sitting in her bed, she doesn't know what to do. Should she give her real name? She shrugged before deciding to just do the usual thing that she does. Fake her identity since she's using a different picture in her profile.
Sjhastings: I'm Melissa, and you are? :)
ArtsyPhotograpy: I'll keep it a secret for the meantime. ;)
Spencer and ArtsyPhotograpy exchanged a few more messages, before she decided to say goodbye to her new friend. She promised 'ArtsyPhotograpy' that she will send her a message as soon as she wakes up in the morning. Spencer fell asleep with a smile on her face.
