WARNING: This chapter has barely been edited. I wrote this on my old laptop which I want to throw at a brick wall right now and I'm just so ready to be done writing on this crappy thing. So sorry for all the mistakes you will have to see. I am so sorry I did this to you but I typed the chapter one day, got a new laptop the very next day, and I didn't hate this chapter as much as I hated all the other versions of this chapter so yeah. Shutting up now.
Alison POV
"Good morning girls. Alison, did you sleep well, back in your own bed again? I know its been a few weeks, but you were in that hospital for a while." Caludia asks with a weak smile as thr family sits down at the table for breakfast
"Well it definately beats that old hospital bed, but I'm still kinda sore from all this physical theraphy and lets just say having a bedmate is helping. Sorry Em, but you gotta go." I say with practically no emotion
"Ali are you ok?" James, one of Caleb's little brothers asks
"I'm fine sweetie. I'm just worried about Hanna, tired from all the p.t., and the medications take a lot out of me as well. Don't worry about me Kid. I'll be fine." I lie
"Hey, where's Billy? I thought he was joining us for breakfast?" Aria asks, changing the subject
"Here I am!" Billy says cheerfully, popping into thr kitchen
"Morning Dad! Are you still taking us to school?" the boys ask
"Actually I got called into a board meeting at the last mintue so I won't have time to take you. Ali, do you wanna ride with me to the hospital now? You can hang with Hanna and then after the meeting, I'll do your follow up exam and we'll see if your done with P.T. or not yet." Billy asks
"No thanks. I don't wanna spend anymore time there then I have too." I sigh
"Alison, are you still taking you antidepressants, you seem off?" he asks
"Yeah, well maybe thats because one of my beat friends is dead, another might die because of me, and my body still doesn't work the same after that stupid accident! I have nightmares everynight! I keep seeing that stupid truck everytime I close my eyes. I'm not depressed I'm sleep deprived and stressed about the fact that I might go to jail so just back the hell off! Your not my father!" I yell
"I'm know I'm not your father but I'm here for you. You can talk to me Alison. We can even get you professional help if you need it." he says sympathetically
"Just leave me alone! I feel like everything is gone after that night and I just want everyone to leave me alone! Stop tip toeing around my feelings then trying to force me to talk about them. Leave me alone!" I scream and storm off up the stairs
Hanna POV
"Ali must be going through hell. I'm still not awake and she probably blames me for everything. Caleb I don't want leave you but I can't leave her. She needs me." I sigh
"Hanna don't worry about other people. What do you want? Do you want to stay here with me or go back? Its too late for me, but you still have a chance. You have a big decision to make and you have to make it soon. Your running out of time. Soon the choice won't be yours body will give up on you and you'll have to stay here, even if you wanted to go back." Caleb tries to reason with me
"I know, but all I wanna do right now is be with you. If I do choose to go back, I need to cherish this time I have with you."
Alison POV
Later at the hospital, Billy performs a few follow up exams, looks over the results and tells me I'm good to go. No more physical theraphy! If only Hanna would just wake the hell up.
Billy, being worried that something bad will happen the mintue I leave the hospital, makes me stay another 24 hours for observations and he puts me in my old room with Hanna. None of my friends are coming to see me. That just leaves me and Hanna's practically lifeless body. I know I told them to leave me alone, but thats not at all what I meant. I'm Alison, if I say I want space, I'm really just looking for some to comfront me the way I didn't know I even needed. Suddenly there is a knock at my door, followed by the appearence of someone I haven't seen in years.
Hanna POV
I lie alone in bed just thinking. Should I choose Aria or Caleb? Do I really wanna die and force Ali to go to jail? Do I even wanna live at all anymore? If I choose to die, I'm never gonna get married, have kids, start a clothing line. I'm never gonna have any kind of life. I want to leave my mark on the world. I want to be remembered by everyone. I want everyone to know my name. I wanna be famous. I wanna design my own clothes and maybe even do a little modeling. Then I wanna marry Aria liked I've wanted to do since I was 13. Then I wanna raise a family with her. Thats what I want. I've wanted it for nearly half my life. I can'y be the girl who dies at age 20 before I ever got a chance to do anything, to be anything. I wanna be remembered as more then just the girl who was killed in a car wreck because her friend couldn't watch where she was driving. Ali already lost Caleb and her baby. I can't make her lose me and go to jail. She's been though enough hell for one life time in the past year. She deserves to be happy. As do I. I'm not ready to die yet.
Alison POV
"Hello Alison." he says coldly
"What are you doing here?" I ask, my own voice like ice
"I heard about your little accident. I wanted to make sure you guys were ok. I'm the only one allowed to ruin you lives. You aren't allowed to do this to yourselves you stupid bitch!" he exclaims
"Get out! Your not welcome here!"
"I don't care if I'm welcome here for not! You and your stupid lesbian gal pals ruined my life and I'm gonna make you pay all pay, but I need you alive in order to do that. Your not getting away from me. Not even because of death." he says bitterly
"Leave us alone!"
"I'll leave for now. But I'll be back, and when I'm done with you, you won't just wish you were dead. You won't just wish you never met me. You'll wish you were never even born." he spits, his words like venom
"Sorry but your plan won't work cause news flash, I've been through hell and back enough times that I already wish I was never born. I'd make my life a whole lot easier if I'd never had one to begin with!" I yell, with tears forming in my eyes
"Oh don't worry, I'll make sure you feel even more worthless come hell or high water and I am the hell and the high water." he spat once again
Hanna POV
Since I met Caleb, I wanted a life with him. Everything I wanted with Aria, suddenly became my dream for me and him. I never thought I'd see her again. She turned my whole world upside down when she came back. Yeah I was glad to see her again, but I had everything all figured out until she came along. You know what, yeah, I do wanna die. If I can't spend my life on Earth with Caleb, I don't wanna spend it with anybody. Now I just neeed to figure out how to die.
Alison POV
"You get out and you get out now!" I scream "And if you ever come near me and my friends again, I will destroy you! I always get it done!"
"Oh but darling, this ain't high school no more." he whispers viciously
"Hey! What's going on in here! Wait, who the hell are you?" Billy exclaims, bursting into my room
"I'm Toby Cavanaugh. I was just leaving Sir." Toby says, and without another word to me, walks quietly out the door
"Alison, who was that kid? Are you ok?" Billy asks
"I'm fine. He's Spencer's ex-boyfriend and he's hella jealous that she choose Aria over him. He blames all of us girls. He thinks we pushed her into being a lesbian since we're all lesbians or bisexual. He wants revenge. He said he's gonna make us wish we were never born. Well jokes on him, because I already feel that way." I say, bursting into tears
"Come here." Billy says, and pulls me in for a hug. "Don't worry, I'll make sure the creep never lays a hand on any of you girls. I love you all and I'll do anything to protect you." he says and kisses my forehead
"This guy is crazy dangerous and he's a cop. He could be responsible for Caleb's death. It was a hit and run and I wouldn't be surprised if he did it. He doesn't wanna me and Hanna dead because he wants to tortue us, but he doesn't give a rats ass about Caleb being dead. Please just leaves this alone. We'll let the cops handle it. I don't want you to be his next victim Dad. I love you." I plead
"Did you just call me 'Dad'?"
"Sorry. Slip of the tongue."
"No its fine. I've never had a daughter before. I can be 'Dad' or I can be 'Billy' but I'll always think of you girls as my own. I love you."
"And we love you too. Thats why you have to leave this alone. This guy will try and take down everyone we love to get his revenge. Spencer was all he had left. He might not be working alone, so please, watch your back. I can't lose you too Billy."
Line Break
"And this guy really just showed up in your room and threatned you like that? When I find him, I'm gonna kill, and make sure he never hurts you guys again! No one hurts the people I love!" Noel exclaims angrily
"Noel, we love that you care, but he's a cop. He's way too dangerous." Emily tries to reason with him
"The fact that he's a cop means that we can't trust the cops. Cops with say anything to protect each other." Noel argues
"Noel, drop it. Please." Aria begs
"How did Billy react?" Spencer asks
"Pretty much the same way Noel just did. I begged him to leave it alone and let the cops handle it. I told him I think Toby is responsible for Caleb's death. I don't if he'll back off or not, but he's definitaly not gonna back down without a fight. I accidently called him dad and he told me he thinks of us as his daughters. A father would do anything to protect their child and I think their a little more pretective over thier daughters then thier sons, but thats just my opinion. I think he's more worried about us then he is Clay and James and Toby could easily take them out as well. Their just kids." I say
"So are we. We may be 20 now but our lives have barely started. As of right now, none of us are in college and we're living with Caleb's parents whp are acting like our own. Its like we're in that phase in between high school and college in a way." Spencer points out
"Their babies, we're adults." Emily argues
"Their are not babies. Clay is 12 and James is 13. Their not babies anymore. I kinda wish they were so we could protect them, but maybe this is better so they can protect themselves a little better, if you know what I mean." Aria argues back
"Whatever, but guys this is serious. Toby doesn't want us dead but he wants us to suffer which means taking away everything we love besides each other, but once he's done with us, we'll be left with close to nothing and at that point we won't even be able to save each other. Forget about their age. We need a game plane on how to protect them." I take over
Soon after our conversation, the cops come bursting into my room, again.
"Excuse me ladies and gentleman, I need to speaking with you regarding officer Toby Cavanaugh, of the Rosewood P.D. I'm Detective Omari and this is my partner Detective Benson." A male cop introduces himself
"Girls and um guy, I'm Detective Olivia Benson but you can call me Olivia or simply Liv if you perfer. Me and Omari are hear to help you, but coming against a cop is tricky, especially with little evidence. We need something solid to get this." Liv says
"Hi, I'm Alison, you can call me Ali. Me, and my friend over there in the bed next to me were in a pretty bad wreck. She might die. I was driving and might face some jail time, but if she wakes up, I want her to be safe. The same night of the accident, her boyfriend Caleb was killed in a hit and run just hours eariler. I'm telling you that Toby is behind it. I need you to prove it so that when she gets out of here, she doesn't have to be mourning a loss while terrified of what that monster might do next at the same time. I know we don't have any real evidence, but you have to find something, please." I beg
"Ali, I am so sorry. We we will do everything we can, but we need something to start with. You asking us to go after a fellow officer." Omari says
"Well, there is something." Spencer starts
"What is it?" Liv asks
"A while back we got this crazy texts from some blocked number, the person called themself 'A'. Do you think you might be able to use that in some way?" Spencer asks
"Its start. I don't know If it'll get us anywhere but a dead end, but its definately a start. Can I see one of your phones?" Liv asks
Aria pulls up the messages and hands the phone over. Benson and Omari skim over the texts and whisper amongst themselves.
"We can look through your phone records and his and maybe we can find a connection and start their but its definately a long shot." Omari says
"Woah, what the hell!" Benson cries
"Liv, what's going?" I ask, trying to remaqin optomistic
"The messages just disappeared. Who ever sent these meaages is trying to cover their tracks. We gotta get back to the station and see if we can manage to salvage anything. We'll be back later." Benson sighs
"No. No! No! No! He can not get away with this!" Spencer cries
"He won't. There's security cameras in this place right. Maybe they caught the conversation between Toby and Ali and will be enough to make an arrest." Emily tries to reassure us
"There's cameras inside the room, but its only video. The security system has been having some problems and they haven't been able to get the audio back up last I heard." I sigh
"Maybe they got it fixed. Benson and Omari will look at the footage and hopefully be able to hear all the imcrinmating things he said. Their gonna get him. I know they will." Aria says hopefully
Ok so that chapter was supposed to go in a totally different direction but I liked this one better. There are some things that I wanted to with other characthers but wasn't gonna do since I decided to end the story sooner, but now they story will go on. And for any of you Americans (I'm not sure what other countires this would apply to) who watch Scandal on ABC (or whatever channel you might get in on) there were two Scandal references in there and if you love the show as much as I do then you would have known them when you saw them. For those of you who don't, what kind of life are you living because that showing is freaking amazing, some of the sex scandals can be... but the show is still freakin awesome. There's also a reference to a Nicki Minaj song in one of the scenes with Toby. Maybe see if you can find it. Or not, I mean whatever, I'm weird and you guys don't really like me so...(This is the part where you say you love me). Until next time.
~Stay Weird (Cuz lord knows I will)
