EZRA P.O.V

I forgot that Aria was coming over. I was expecting her at 8pm. It was now 7:30, the apartment was a mess. I don't know if she remembered, but tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary of when we met. It's also the 6th year since the murder/ disappearance of Alison, her best friend. I asked her here because I want her to feel safe. It feels like she's keeping something from me, and I think I know what it is… because –A has tortured them before. I don't want her or any of the other girls to feel unsafe!

I tidy up the apartment. I make the bed and set out our Chinese takeaway on the coffee table. I download the song B-26 (our song) and schedule it to start playing at 8pm.

ARIA P.O.V

I don't know what to wear to Ezra's. I can't wear something too… well you know because my parents would question me. I stick with my short black skater shirt with a crop top that Ezra picked out for me when we went to the mall together. Tomorrow is our anniversary so I bought him a picture frame and filled it with photos of us. Including our very first one as a couple where we had bags over our heads so you couldn't see our faces. We risk everything to be together, that's why I love him.

EZRA P.O.V

I hear a knock on the door. Thinking Aria is early, I open it. Instead of seeing my beautiful girlfriend, I see Mona Vanderwaal. She's dressed in all black. "Ezra, it's the –A team weekly meeting in 5 minutes. Where is your mask and black outfit?" she asks.

"Mona I can't right now. Aria is coming over, so you need to leave… NOW!"

"I'll let you off this week, but you owe me big time… Mr Fitz!"

"Alright Mona, just leave now," I see. But then I see her, standing at the end of the hall with flowers in her hands. She sees Mona dressed in black, looks at me and her face crumples. She drops the flowers and runs to the elevator.

"For God's sake Mona, look what you've done!" and I run after Aria.

ARIA P.O.V

I can't believe what I just saw. Ezra is working for Mona. Mona is –A… AGAIN. Why would Ezra do this to me? I see him running to the elevator and quickly press the down button. He doesn't get to me in time and I'm going down. My whole life just fell apart. My phone starts to ring. It's Hanna.

"h…hello?"

"Ar, what's the matter?"

"Ezra…Ezra is working for Mona, Mona is –A again. Han why were we so stupid?"

"Hey, it'll be okay. Come to my place!"
"No, I…I just want to be alone right now,"

"Alright, just don't do anything stupid Ar!"

"Goodnight Han," and then I end the call.

I run into the house, past my parents and into my room. I can't face anyone right now. I shut and lock my door, and when they come running I don't open it. I just stay in bed. Not wanting to live anymore. I find the knife I keep in the draw and cut deep into my wrist. Everything goes blurry and I hit the floor.
