CHAPTER 9

EZRA POV

I broke a plate and coffee mug earlier, Aria being missing is really taking its toll on me, but honestly why wouldn't it, she is the most important thing in world to me. I can't concentrate on anything, god I need her here with me, in my arms.

I look at the clock and it's almost 7, I might as well start dinner. Wesley has rung a few times because he's seen the news and said if he sees Aria he will let me know straight away. I don't shut my phone off anymore I'm just waiting for some good news to come through even if it's 3 o'clock in the morning. I get aa bowl down from the cupboard but as soon as I grab it, I drop it. "Fuck!" I yell. "God, I'm so sorry Aria." I say to myself and I start to cry. Suddenly my phone beeps and I might as well check it.

I don't ever want to hear you say you're sorry again-A

"YOU BASTARD!" I yell knowing he can hear me. I said that to Aria when she came over with a pie and was feeling guilty about Shauna. I drop to my hands and knees without thinking and cut my hands on the bowl. Everything is going so wrong. I've recently just recovered from being shot, I'm back with Aria and now she's gone. Suddenly there's a knock on I door and I feel too weak to move so I just call out. "There's a spare key under the mat." I yell out, unsure of who it is. When the door opens Toby and Caleb walk in. "What happened?" Toby asks. "I broke a bowl and I'm becoming a wreak." I tell him and he helps me up. "Let's get your hand fixed and have a beer." Caleb says and I give him a look. "What if we get caught? We'll all get arrested or fined." I point out. "Nope, I'm a cop remember and personally I'm all for a beer." He says and I don't disagree.

ARIA POV
I've been trapped in here for however long. I get enough food to keep me healthy and to keep going, A must have some soul because he's given me food that vegan's eat. I miss Ezra, the girls, Mike, my parents. I miss them all. It must be night time because lights are out and it's quiet. Suddenly there's a buzz like the one that unlocks the door and it catches my attention. I get up and go over to the door. Wren wouldn't unlock my door in the middle of the night would he? I grab the handle and it opens. I walk out into the hall and it's quiet and then it hits me. The powers out. I wander down and then the hall splits into two. I walk down the left one and keep going but then things start to click and I realise the powers coming back on. I start to run back to my room but I don't make it. The power comes on and my room locks. "Aria, Aria, Aria. You should better than to sneak around. I'll have to teach you a lesson." Wren says as he appears out of now where. "What are you taking about?" I ask. He throws something in my direction and it lets off a gas. I breathe it in and start to cough. My vision blurs and I black out.

I wake up and it takes a few blinks before my eyes come into focus. I look around, up and down. It looks like I'm in some sort of hole. "Hello?" I call but no answer. What is A going to do to me? I wrap my arms around me because I'm cold.

SPENCER POV

I'm with the girls. We decided that we need a girls night with everything going on and the boys are with Ezra. "It isn't the same without Aria." Emily says. "It'll be ok Em." Alison says trying to comfort her. Suddenly all our phones go and we all know who it is. "Who wants to open first?" Hanna asks. "We'll do it together." I say and we do. Gasps go through the house. A has sent us a picture of Aria lying on the ground in some hole.

If she doesn't behave, it'll get worse –A

"We need to find her. NOW!" I say and call Toby
