Hey! So, this chapter is for Ezria. I want to thank Hope10, for leaving a super sweet comment, which made my day brighter. I am also going to do chapters from the POV of Emison, Haleb, and Ezria once the liars are out of the dollhouse. But that's for another day. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Aria's POV

I feel dirty. I haven't had a change of clothes or a shower for three days. I can feel the fine layer of grime on my skin. And I'm not just uncomfortable in the physical state. I can't even look at the ceiling corner, opposite my bed, where the camera has not turned off (other than the three minutes each night when the generator shuts down) since I've been here.

I wish Charles (Spencer thinks that's –A's name, because she realised that it was spelled out by playing blocks in the games room) would cut it and let us shower. Just once, I need to feel warm water cascade over my shoulders, and wash the dirt down the drain. I can't even scratch my face without seeing dirt under my fingernails anymore! It's ridiculous.

The door opens, and I step out, shaking. I expect the others to be there, but their doors are locked. I'm immediately uneasy, not that I wasn't overly paranoid a few minutes ago. I bang on Mona's door. I hear her shout back. "Who is it?" "Aria! Charles let me out, but nobody else is here!" a pause. "Aria, you need to get back to your room right now!" She shouts, sounding panicked. The girls have heard our conversation, and start to shout, "What's going on?" Em asks, and Hanna and Spencer both start banging on the doors.

Before I can respond, the doors open, but only partially, as a layer of glass is still covering the doorways. "Aria, can you hear us?" Spencer asks, and starts banging on the glass, but it seems to be un-breakable. I nod at her, and start banging on my door, in a futile effort to get back inside before something happens.

Then, a figure in a black hoodie appears, and I throw myself against my door to try and get it open. No luck. The figure gets closer to me, and the girls start screaming, myself included. Just as they're about to grab my arm, I punch them in the face. They stagger back, and there is silence. Even the girls stop screaming. Then Charles launces himself at me, and covers my mouth with some kind of wet fabric. I try to fight back, but my motions get weaker, until I can't wove at all. Then everything goes black.

Spencer's POV

Charles throws Aria across the room like a rag doll, and I scream. "Let her go!" He ignores my, and the girls screams and cries, and continues to beat Aria. He kicks her ribs, and punches her multiple times, before slinging her over his shoulder, and presses some buttons on a remote. The doors slam, and the glass lifts once they're closed, sealing us in once again. I bang on the door until my fists turn red, and drop to the floor, crying.

Aria's POV

I wake up in a replica of my living room. Hoe the hell did –A manage to make it so lifelike? I almost expect Mike to walk in, lacrosse gear in tow, but I know he won't, mainly because if this was my living room, I wouldn't be strapped to the armchair. For a second, I imagine that I'm really back home, and my Mom will come in in a second, with warm soup, and fresh coffee. The image in my head lasts a sum total of seven seconds, because, at that moment, speakers that I didn't notice before start to play. Now I see the point of the restraints, because they mean I can't raise my hands to cover my ears, and block out the noise coming from the speakers.

"You ruined my life. You don't deserve happiness." Ezra's voice says.

"You're too damaged for this family I don't care about you anymore." My dad laughs.

"You didn't tell me about Meredith. You lost my trust. I hate you." My mom hisses.

"You were a terrible sister. I'm glad you're gone." Mike comments.

These massages, and more from the girls, their families, everyone I know, play along with them. Even Shana is there. And I know that none of them actually said these things. Charles can just use a voice changer and say them himself. But they're all true. I killed Shana, and she isn't coming back. I should have believed Hanna about Zach. I didn't stand up to Ali when she bullied Mona, Lucas, and countless others. I've told more lies in the past two years than most people will in their entire lives. I deserve this.

I sink back against the chair, and let the sleeping gas knock me out once it's over. The last word that comes into my head is Ezra.

Xxx

I wake in in the room, tears streaming down my face. Was that real, or was it a dream? I reach up, and find the head-wound from Charles, dried blood clotted around the back of my neck. Real, then. I get out of the bed, and sit on the floor, staring at the door. I deserve to be here. I deserve it all.

I ruined Ezra's life. His own Mother thought so. He had a good job, a high pay, and a life where he didn't have to constantly worry, not about me, but about himself. It's my fault that he got shot. I let him love me. I let myself love him. And now look where we are. I hope he comes to his senses, and leaves me here. He should get out of here, just hop on a plane and not look back. He needs to forget me.

But, that's not the first time I've wanted him to. And, whenever I tell him too, he doesn't. He stays. And I get selfish, and run back to him. I know this time will be no different.

Ezra's POV

I look at the photo. She is wearing a black shirt, with her usual choice of statement jewellery. I am behind her, my hands over her eyes, whilst she laughs like it's the funniest thing in the world. I miss her so much it hurts. I swear to god, I will get her back, or die trying. I can't live without her anyway. And, once she's here, I'll spent as much time as she needs fixing whatever damage has been done to her brain. Even if he has to spend his entire life with her, and only manages to remove a small portion of her suffering, he will have died knowing that there's no way he would have rather lived.

Because Aria is worth it.

Hey everyone! So, I have decided to do a summary of my next story, and maybe the first chapter, so it will hopefully be up today! But only because I can't wait! So, my next story is called:
