Hanna

"Pregnant! How the hell can you be pregnant!" her mother screamed at her "Don't tell me that you've been fooling around with Caleb, because if you are I am going to kill him!" Hanna had never seen her mother like this, every time she saw her mother upset or angry, she would always go out with her friends. Ashley Marin was a proud woman; she had done more or less everything her entire life. So when Hanna was born, she knew that if her husband left (God forbid) that she would be able to take care of her daughter all by her self, which she did. So when Mr Marin left, taking all the money the family had, she saw it as her job to restore the family back to its former glory. She was a happy woman, and why wouldn't she be? She had an amazing daughter, a beautiful house and a comfortable lifestyle. So when she found out about her daughter's pregnancy, you can understand why she was so rattled. "Mom, it's okay. I'm not going through with this" Hanna said trying to reassure her mother. But that was exactly what Hanna was trying to do, she wanted this baby, and although she'd seen "Juno" before (20 times actually, it was one of her favourite movies) she was up for the challenge of motherhood. "Han honey, this is a baby, not an accessory, a baby. And you can't just get rid of it, and you won't. Here's what you're going to do" Ashley was rushing the words out of her mouth, as if she didn't want them inside of her. "You're going to tell your friends you're going on an extended holiday to see your grandma. I'll arrange everything with your school so you don't have to worry about that. And when the time comes, we'll put the baby up for adoption, so it can live with a nice family..." her mother went on and on, but Hanna couldn't hear any of it, because her body felt so weak, she eventually fell asleep.

Alison was back in her dream, but this time they were on Ali's lawn, a place the girls used to meet up and gossip when the summer hit. "I did warn you Hanna" the dead girl spoke with such knowing and confidence; Ali always had this tone to the way she spoke, but this time it sounded more cryptic. "Ali, I want this baby. No scratch that, I need this baby. I need someone to love, and I need someone to love me back. And not Caleb, he can never make up his mind on what he wants." Ali sat and listened until Hanna finished, and then she smiled and said "Why are you telling me this? I'm dead. I can't do anything about this." It was at this moment that Alison's skin started to become wrinkly, and Hanna was shocked to see her friend decaying like this. "I'll be here to listen, but I can't help" was the last thing she said before she turned into dust, and she was blown away in the wind.

Hanna awoke then. It was dark in her hospital room, and she was hungry. But for some reason, she couldn't move. "Oh great, another horrific dream" she said, knowing what was about to come next, but as the moon shone through the window, it illuminated Aria's body, which looked lifeless, but she was only sleeping (Hanna could tell because she could hear her snoring, and she was snoring loud tonight). So, she came to the conclusion that she was under numbing medication to explain her immobility, and with nothing else to do, she fell asleep, hoping for a dreamless night.
