Chapter 6
The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
Emily sat on a bench outside the church later that afternoon. Only 3 months ago she'd been right here for Allison's funeral... it all seemed surreal. She felt so alone and empty.
She hadn't believed Toby was dangerous, she had really liked him. But then her so called 'friends' got involved. They made her doubt her judgment and look where it had gotten her. It had gotten somebody else she loved killed.
Yes she had loved Toby. She was still confused. She didn't know if she loved him like you love a friend or if maybe her feelings were something more than that. But she did know by the pain and the whole she felt in her heart every time she thought of him... that was had loved him.
Aria sat on her bed her head lay back as she stared at the walls quietly. She wished things would not have happened the ways in which they did. They all were going in there own directions, separated, alone. When she had gotten back to Rosewood she knew things were going to be different, little had she known how different. It was like it were another world, like she were a complete other person. She sure didn't feel like the same Aria.
Despite their efforts, despite their stating that they would not let A get the best of them... they had failed. A had succeeded in tearing them apart, in breaking them, in killing her. Right here sitting in the dark bedroom alone there was no way to argue against it A had killed the old her. Maybe they hadn't physically hurt her, they had not dug a shallow grave and buried her but sometimes Aria wished that was what they had done. 'It would have been easier' she told herself.
A had torn her friends and her apart by the very thing that was supposed to keep friends close... secrets. A had drove away the guy that made her want to be alive. She could not take the silence or being alone anymore it made her just want to die.
Spencer sat on her bed kissing Alex. "You wanna know something" she whispered as they broke apart.
"Of course" he said smiling and brushed the hair out of her eyes.
"You truly are the best thing in my life right now" Spencer stated as she smiled and looked down and their intwined hands.
Alex smiled and kissed the top of her head gently.
"With you there I think I'm actually going to be okay. It's odd but I'm actually looking forward to Monday. I think a fresh start is what I need right now" she finished and looked up into his eyes.
He pulled her into a tight hug.
Spencer layed her head on Alex's chest. He made her feel safe and that was definitely something that she needed after the past few months. When he was holding her she felt as if everything was going to be okay.
"At least I hope it'll be okay" she whispered to herself so low that Alex could not hear.
