Hey sorry its been a while, i've had a lot of family issues, a funeral and work problems at the moment so its been so manic i couldn't write. But i've managed to get this out before returning to my normal schedule:) Enjoy.

There they stood, the girls who got her through thick and thin, helped her stand when she was falling. And practically saved her life many times. Their faces were all so grown up yet so scared all at once. They all stayed in touch but with Hanna having kids, Aria writing books, Emily becoming a swimming coach and Spencer a historical tutor they barley had time to think let alone meet up.
"Hey come on it, its been a while huh..." Hanna opened the door wide and the girls walked into the kitchen where Caleb stood leaning on the counter. He smiled at them and offered coffee.

"Oh come here for gods sake. We aren't strangers." Spencer huddled them in a hug no one wanting to let go. It felt safe.

"So... what do we do? I didn't realise I was sixteen again and playing games with some twisted phyco" Aria rubbed her eyes and sipped her coffee. She had barley slept by the looks of it. Either from writing her new book or her passionate romance with Ezra Fitz kept her up they all knew which one.

"No, nor me. I figured once the jury made their decision to lock her away that would be it. But apparently not." Spencer shook her head, it didn't phase her they called her twin phyco or even insane. She didn't think of her as family anyway. Though looking in the mirror was a constant reminder she was.
"Where is Ali?" Hanna looked around suddenly noticed she wasn't there.

"She hasn't really left the house since Jason died. We're all a little worried about her, she took it bad. Like I haven't ever seen Alison this bad, I've basically been a mother, a bank, a worker and well anything but sleeper. It's been hard but I can't image what shes going through" Emily was actually now married to Ali. Everyone knew they would last, they had two beautiful little girls, madly in love and honestly it sounded like Ali needed Emily more now that ever.

"Oh i'm sorry to hear that Em, does she know about A? Or anything?" Hanna asked softly assuming it might be a touchy subject.
"Yeah. She knows about A, in fact one thing that shes been doing all this time is some investigating of her own. This is going to sound insane but... well... she thinks A killed Jason. As if to worn us she was back by taking someone who kept us together." Emily knew they wouldn't what she meant by keeping them together. Their faces said the same. So she went into more detail so without waiting for the whats and huh's from them all.

"Look okay let me explain... Ali would visit you Han because Jason lived near yes?" Hanna nodded but still confused where it was going.

"When you and Toby split up Spence who was it that came to you're side and cheered you up, got us to all go on holidays and park dates together?" Spencer looked away tearing up she knew who it was, she dared to tell them he meant more to her than they knew. That was her and Jason's secret... he took it to his grave she was to take it to hers.

"And when you and Ezra published books he was the first one to buy it and call you about how great it was. He even arranged the parties we all came to to celebrate. It's things over the years that brought us together via him, and Ali thinks that A believed he was the glue holding us together. He wasn't as such but that's what A thought and by killing him we would all be separate and become..."

"Easier targets..." Spencer interrupted she knew where Emily was going... if all alone and vulnerable they were easier to hurt and watch suffer. And they all knew how much A loved to watch people."

"Right but he wasn't just the glue. Sure he helped i don't doubt that but he wasn't the only reason.. so what happens when A finds out that we held each other together not Jason?" Aria looked around waiting for a response.

"A gets mad because a plan failed.. A gets angry and A gets needy. Revenge is what happens unless we find her and end it again." Caleb interfered , he was the one brave enough to clarify what A was and what A did when a plan failed. He did not fear A like he once did because he had seen how strong he and Hanna had become. A couldn't hurt them even if she tired desperately.

"We best start planning then? More coffee girls?" Hanna poured the coffee then got out the laptop , her phone and began looking into the death of Jason DiLaurentis maybe Ali had a point, maybe she was even right. This could get A behind bars again... they just had to find her...

Another chapter is done i hope you like it:) Let me know until next time :P
