Okay so now on to the chapter. I hope you guys like it. Don't forget to review :D

"Guys?" questioned Aria while trying to adjust her eyes to the light. She felt as if she's just woken up from a coma. Her head felt heavy and her throat was extremely dry. "What's going on? Why are you guys looking at me like you haven't seen me in months?" she laughed. Then she noticed Spencer's eyes. They were filled with tears. She looked at the other two girls and they looked as they have been crying too. Suddenly it hit her, memories of the afternoon coming back to her. How she watched a movie with Spencer, then went up and grabbed her razor then went to the bathroom and then- wait no, no, no, no they don't know. They can't know, she thought. She then looked around and realized that she didn't recognize where she was.

No I can't be where I think I am, she thought. "Where am I? Guys where am I? Aria asked urgently. "Ar" Spencer started to speak but was interrupted by Aria's plea. "Please Spence just tell me where I am." "Aria you're in the hospital" Hanna said. "No. No. I can't be. You're kidding. If this is a joke, it's not funny" she said. She then, for the first time, looked around to see that she was in a white room lying on a white bed. For the first time she heard the beeping of machines around her. No, no, no, she thought.

She closed her eyes wishing that she was dreaming. She couldn't be at the hospital. Why was she at the hospital? She wondered as she started to sit up. As she brought her hands closer to her so she can pull herself up, she saw the bandage around her wrist and gasped. No, no, no, this can't be happening, she kept repeating to herself. She brought her wrist to her face and examined it closely. She saw that her wrist had been stitched up and bandaged. She then remembered that her three best friends were right beside her. She slid her hand under the covers in attempt to hide it and looked at her three best friends. They all had tears in their eyes.

"You guys have it all wrong. It's nothing serious I just slipped and fell on a razor when I was in the bathroom while Spence was asleep. You know me, I'm really clumsy and fragile" she tried to convince them while trying to muster a laugh. The three girls were definitely not convinced. "Ari-" Spencer began but got cut off by Aria once again. "No Spence you have to believe me. There's nothing wrong. It was a mistake. Please you have to believe me" Aria begged as tears started to spill from her eyes. Aria's mind began to race. They can't know, they just can't. This is my secret. They can't know how messed up I am - Spencer can't know how messed up I am. She'll hate me. She'll think I'm weak, Aria kept thinking to herself.

She then was brought back to reality by someone rubbing her back. She realized that while she was internally panicking, Spencer had sat herself beside her on the bed and began to rub her back in attempt to calm her down. At first Aria was grateful for the comfort, but that was until Spencer had mustered enough courage to ask the questions she's been asking since she found Aria's unconscious body on the bathroom floor. "Why Aria? Why did you do that? Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you tell me?" Spencer pleaded for an answer. At Spencer's questions, something inside of Aria snapped and she shoved Spencer away from her."Go away! You can't see me like this! You were never supposed to see me like this! Any of you. Especially you, Spencer. Leave. Now! I can't believe this is happening!" Aria violently yelled and shoved her friends away. She then started to pull out the tubes and wires that were holding her hostage in that awful hospital room. As she pulled at the wires, the machines around her started to beep. As soon as the beeping started, nurses and doctors rushed in to see a distraught Aria trying to free herself. "LET ME GO! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH ME! Cried Aria. Spencer then, seeing her best friend and the love of her life in such a mad state, cried out to her between sobs, "Aria please let them help you! Aria you can't kill yourself. You can't keep doing what you're doing! You have to stay and let them help you!" "I wasn't trying to kill myself!" yelled Aria. "I WAS TRYING TO SURVIVE."

At that, the nurses rushed Spencer and the girls out of Aria's room and apologetically told them that they have to wait outside until the doctors were able to stabilize Aria. Spencer then stared into the window of Aria's room and watched as the nurses tried to lay Aria back down on the bed as one doctor gave her a shot that made her almost instantly calm down while another doctor was putting the wires and tubes back into their places. As she kept looking into the window, she watched as Aria slowly relaxed and eventually fell asleep while the nurses fixed her bed and made her comfortable. As the nurses and the doctors left Aria's room, the girls all looked at each other and knew that they were all thinking the same thing.

The girls have never seen Aria like this. Aria was always the one that put on a brave face for the girls. Aria was always the one each of the girls would go to when they needed someone to talk to without feeling judged. Aria was always the strong one, even though she was tiny, she was still big. At that moment, the girls came to a realization. Their best friend who has always been their rock of support was on the edge of a cliff and was hanging on by a thread. They have never thought that Aria could be the one that was the most broken. They all kept thinking of ways they can try to save Aria because if they don't then they could really lose her, and that thought terrified them more than anything in the world.
