Hey Everyone I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO sorry for how long it has taken me to update. Life just got in the way and I wasn't totally sure where I wanted to go with this story. Since you all have been so patient I made this chapter longer than my usual. I also wanted to thank everyone for the reviews they gave me last chapter and especially thank randomness 101-Fanfic Freak, .dreamers, and Gabyproductions for their suggestions for the A note. They were all so good and I couldn't decide on just one so I did like a mix of all three. As for the baby I'm so glad everyone thought it was over-used because I completely agree. I decided just to ask in case because if you guys wanted it I would write it for you :) Anyways here's chapter 11.

LAST CHAPTER:

"I still think we have to do something," Aria said. "I don't think I can live like this knowing at any point A can strike again."

"What can we do though?" Hannah pointed out.

At that moment four distinct ringtones played in the deathly quiet house. Each of the four girls took out there phones and read the texts they had gotten.

You know I can screw you harder than any of your boyfriends (or girlfriends Emily) but wondering what you can do?

Attachment.

Be there. Midnight. You can't do anything to get rid of me but if you give me what I want things will turn out for the better.

Hope to see you soon-A

"Do we go," Aria whispered.

"If we ever want this nightmare to be over we have to," Emily breathed.

"And if we DIE," Hannah snapped.

"Yeah guys this could be just another trap," Spencer reasoned.

"And if it isn't?" Aria said.

"I don't know…do we take the chance," Spencer asked.

"I think we have to if we ever want this to end," Emily replied.

"I'm with Em," Aria agreed. "We have to take this risk for things to ever get better.

"I guess…You in Han?" Spencer wondered.

"If everyone else is I suppose so," Hannah sighed.

"Ok so midnight we go," Aria said.

The four of them anxiously awaited the clock to read 11:45 so they could leave for their forbidding journey. They all decided they would each take a kitchen knife just in case and hid them in their boots and belt loops. The bright green numbers on Spencer's watch flashed the anticipated time signaling they should head out. The four wordlessly filed into Spencer's car and drove to the said location. A had directed them to the park where Ali's memorial had once resided. Once they got there each girl stepped out of the vehicle and into the black of the night.

"Do you see anyone," Hannah whispered.

"No," the other three mumbled back.

The air was deathly quiet and one could hear a leaf drop. Suddenly the sound of leaves crunching filled the atmosphere and a dark shadow emerged out of the woods.

"A?" Spencer shakily asked.

The figure didn't respond but instead a sharp beep occupied the park.

Spencer pulled her phone out and read the message aloud so the other girls could hear.

"So nice to see you all, but not for long. I'm going to take your lives just like I took Alison's. –A"

The girls gasped and looked up to see the masked silhouette holding a gun.

"You killed Ali?" Aria muttered.

As if in reply the shadow raised the weapon ready to shoot. Before the four had a chance to run another person appeared behind the first figure. The first individual turned around only to be met with a knife through their chest. They fell to the cold ground the gun spilling out of his/her hands. The second being slowly pulled the bright red blade out of the bleeding chest that lay on the ground. He/She looked up for a moment before hurrying back into the woods.

"Did that really just happen?" Aria whispered.

"Yeah it did," Spencer exhaled.

"Who was that who killed A?" Emily said.

"I don't know but there gone now," Hannah replied.

"Guys A's dead," Aria laughed.

"Finally it's over," Spencer smiled.

"We still don't know who A is," Emily stated.

"I don't know about you guys but I have to know who this bitch is," Hannah said walking over to the masked body. "Can I do the honors?" Hannah grinned.

The other three nodded yes their hearts beating wildly in their chests. Aria smiled to herself thinking about Ezra. Finally he would be safe. This nightmare was over and the two of them could be together and not worry. Aria snapped back to reality when Hannah started to tug the black cover off. A pale face frame by dark black curls was revealed.

"She looks really familiar," Hannah spoke.

"Madison," Aria murmured.

"You know her?" Spencer asked.

"We all do remember that day at the grille with Ali last year," Aria specified.

"Oh yeah I remember that!" Emily exclaimed.

"She was at the table behind us right?" Spencer realized.

"Oh yeah she was!" Hannah confirmed.

FLASHBACK:

The 5 girls sat around at a table giggling wildly while drinking their coffee. Suddenly a boy around the same age as them stormed through the door and raged to the table behind them.

"Madison what is wrong with you," He fumed. "We're done."

"W-What's wrong?" a girl with midnight black curls asked her expression beyond confused.

"You know exactly what's wrong," the guy spat before trudging out of the silent restaurant.

After about a minute conversation started to pick up again and by this time the girl Madison was in tears.

"What was that about?" Aria inquired.

"Oh just me finishing up some business," Alison smirked.

"What did you do?" Emily asked.

"I just told her boyfriend she was only going out with him on a dare," Alison chuckled darkly.

"Why would you do that?" Spencer said.

"Geez relax Spence…Anyways she deserved it. At the start of the field hockey season I heard her gossiping like a little girl about how the new coach Ian Thomas was sooo hot. "

"So," Spencer remarked.

"So if you can't act grown up you don't get to have grown up boys," Alison snapped.

"Why did you wait so long didn't the season start like 3 months ago?" Aria wondered.

"You know what they say girls, revenge is best served cold," Alison smiled.

"I think you're kind of overreacting," Spencer admitted.

"Oh Spencer always the difficult one," Alison laughed. "I heard this coach kissed a student and I'm just trying to protect her."

Spencer mad at the fact Alison had brought this up muttered to herself, "Yeah well, they also say the greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse."

"Ready to go girls," Alison said.

A reply of yes's and yeps came from the other four as they stood up to leave the restaurant.

"You guys go ahead I'll catch up in a sec," Alison stated.

Aria, Hannah, Spencer, and Emily all filed out of the glass door to the grille. The four stood outside the window and waited for Alison. Aria glanced inside and notified the other girls to look too. Alison had walked over to Madison and had been talking to her. They couldn't hear what they were saying but in the end Ali was beaming and Madison was hysterical with tears.

"Ready," Alison asked resuming her position as the leader.

"What did you say to her," Aria questioned.

"It's not important," Alison said. The four nodded their heads and continued to follow her.

END OF FLASHBACK

"So do you think she had some grudge against us because we were Ali's friends," Aria said.

"Probably, we never did figure out what Alison said to her right before we were about to leave," Spencer responded.

"So Madison White has been A all along," Hannah said.

"I'm just glad it's over," Emily sighed.

"Yeah me too…but who killed Madison. If they hadn't stabbed her who knows what would have happened," Spencer said.

"Yeah well I do, we would have died. Let's not look this gift horse in the mouth," Hannah responded.

"Agreed," the other three said.

Unexpectedly 4 ringtones chimed in the still air. Each girls body went stiff for they were used to that noise signaling A.

"Guys A is over we don't have to flinch every time our phones beep," Spencer smiled.

Emily, Hannah, and Aria relaxed and each looked at their respective phones.

You guys are really too naïve. Did you really think I would go myself? It really wasn't hard getting Madison to help considering her history with Alison so I thought this would be a quick easy job. Unfortunately this time you guys got lucky but don't expect that next time. I'm here for good so you better watch out- A

"God this bitch thinks of everything," Hannah moaned.

"Just when we thought it was over," Emily exhaled.

"Let's just go back to Spence's this place gives me the creeps," Aria said.

Ezra absentmindedly played with one of Aria's curls as she laid on his couch with her head in his lap.

"It was just so crazy Ezra I mean one minute were at gun-point and the next we're being saved by this mystery person. And I feel bad that Madison died but I mean if she was that mad over what Ali did she had to be crazy right?"

"Anyone who would want to hurt is definitely crazy," Ezra smiled as he caressed her cheek. "I'm just glad you're ok."

"Yeah me too. I would most certainly miss seeing you're handsome face every day," Aria laughed.

"Do you think this will ever be over?" Ezra asked.

"I honestly don't know but maybe this unknown person will watch out for us."

"I really hope so," Ezra said running his fingertips across Aria's jawline. 'So what does this A person even want?"

"Revenge maybe? I mean Ali was a really mean person sometimes and now that she's dead someone probably wants to get back at her "posse" for what she did."

"If she was so mean why were you even friends?" Ezra wondered.

"When she didn't act like the worst person ever she could really make someone feel like the most special person ever."

Ezra gave her a comforting smile and placed a kiss on her small hands. "You do realize I'm never letting you out of my sight ever again," Ezra chuckled.

"That might not be so bad," Aria leered. She shifted her position so she was sitting on Ezra's lap and stared into the sea of blue that were his eyes.

Ezra couldn't control himself and started kissing all along Aria's neck. He traveled to her ear and whispered I love you before continuing on his path of pecks. He traced her hair line with his velvety lips and kissed the tip of her nose. He finally resided on Aria's lips and stayed there for almost twenty minutes. Aria grinned when Ezra decided to pick her up and carry her to his bed. He placed her on his silky covers and continued right where he left off.

PLLPLLPLLPLLPLLPLLPLL

Aria opened her eyes a slit and saw she was in Ezra's apartment. She remembered the previous night and figured she must have fallen asleep in Ezra's arms. Speaking of his arms they were coiled tightly around Aria's body leaving no room for her to move. She giggled at how protective he was of her causing him to wake up as well.

"Good morning beautiful," He whispered.

Aria turned herself around and gave Ezra a kiss on the lips. "Good morning." Aria was so glad it was Saturday and that she could just lie there with him in there perfect little world. She had told her parents she was staying over at Hannah's considering they would never let her spend a night with Ezra. She felt bad about lying but it was the only way they could have these amazing "waking up together" moments.

Ezra's apartment phone started to ring but he let it go to voicemail. He didn't want to ruin this flawless moment by Aria's side, wrapped up in some conversation with whoever was calling. Ezra's voice filled the room telling the caller to leave a message after the beep.

"Hi Ezra this is Principal Johnson. I'm calling because of a rumor that has been going around that I am hoping is not true, so when you get this message please call me back as soon as possible at 678-555-2345 Thanks."

Aria just looked at Ezra her mind moving a million miles a minute. Could Mr. Johnson know about them? How did he find out? Was there an even worse rumor going around?

"Don't worry," Ezra soothed. "I'm sure everything will be ok."

"Could he know?" Aria whispered even though they were all alone.

"No baby, don't worry. How could he?" Ezra tried to say calmingly but the fear leaked through.

"A."

Ezra gave Aria a kiss and said, "I'm going to call him back now but I want you to know I'll never let anything come between us."

Aria nodded her head and gave him a smile praying A hadn't done what she feared the most.
