"Emily, Paige is he one doing this to you." Ashley recapped crushing Emily's heart in the process. Paige was a good friend of Emily's and a former girlfriend of hers. She couldn't believe this was happening.
"It can't be. It just can't!" Emily screamed breaking down in tears she was in love with Maya but Paige would always be in her heart.
"Em, calm down it'll be okay." Aria assured her. She couldn't believe Paige would do this to Emily but she did.
2 hours later
Paige had been arrested and tried to tell Emily that she was framed but Emily didn't believe her. She wanted to but she couldn't. Paige was –A and to make matters worse she put Aria through so much in 24 hours.
"Paige I'm done." Emily declared walking out of the station. She couldn't handle it anymore.
"Emily…" Paige whispered watching the girl she loved walk out. It was hard enough when they broke up but at least they were still friends until now that is.
"Hello?" Emily said answering her phone when Hanna called her.
"She's missing! Aria's missing!" She was crying.
"Oh my god!" Emily screamed.
Aria wasn't actually missing she just left and went to Ezra's. She didn't think Paige was –A because she has gotten an –A message right after the arrest. This meant that either Paige had a helper or she wasn't –A after all. Once she had gotten to Ezra's apartment she went in. "Hey…" She said.
"What's wrong?" He was concerned. Something about the look in her eye wasn't right. It wasn't a 'I need help look' it was a 'I'm sorry that I'm about to hurt you look.'
"Ezra you know I love you but with everything that's happened I don't want you to get hurt." Aria was almost crying she loved him with all she had but was that enough?
"What are you saying?" He asked pretending he didn't know the answer when he did.
"I'm sorry but it's over." She ran out of the apartment wiping her tears away. It started pouring down on her and she just kept running.
"Aria!" He ran after her and pulled her into a long passionate kiss not wanting her to ever leave him. He looked down at her face and wiped her tears away and pulled her into a tight hug. "I'm never going to let you down I promise. I promise to you I'll be true. To never pressure you. To tell you when you have food in your teeth or gunk in your eye. I promise to make you proud to point at me and say, 'That dude's my boyfriend.' I really care about you and I want us to be together. I will kill the spiders. I'll share my fries with you when you've finished yours and you're still hungry. I won't ever pop my collar. I will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza. I will kiss the paper cuts. And the door-slammed finger. And the counter-bumped hip. I'll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions and comments during movies. I will be the big spoon. I will let you win at wrestling... sometimes. Other times I will not. I'll send you random texts and leave you silly gifts. Not always. Not on schedule. Just whenever I want. Whenever I think you need one. Or seven. I will check the tire pressure and remind you to take your car in. I will love you. I will love you. I will love. you. You're probably the sweetest and most gorgeous girl I've ever seen."
"That's sweet and I love you more than anything but I really can't do this anymore. I will not let you get hurt." She looked in his eyes one last time before walking away leaving him there alone in the rain.
2 weeks later
"Melissa!" Spencer screamed looking for her older sister.
"What?" Melissa asked walking downstairs to where Spencer was.
"You know what Melissa! Aria is in pieces over her breakup! She didn't dump him because she wanted to she dumped Ezra because she had no other choice!"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yes you do and I'm done keeping this secret from my friends the last two months have been hell for me! My friends are destroyed! Emily feels betrayed because her good friend Paige has been in jail for 2 weeks now! Aria had to leave the most important person in her life! Hanna is barely sleeping she's so on edge. Then there's me who is keeping this secret from everyone I care about! I've nearly lost Toby!" She screamed on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Spencer should I call mom? Are you okay?" Melissa asked with an evil smirk on her face.
"You're –A! Melissa you've made me keep this from everyone! You put Aria in the hospital and framed both her and Paige as being –A. I couldn't say anything because of your threats but I don't care anymore! I'm done you psycho bitch!" Spencer ran upstairs and let everything out of her. What was she going to do? Tell and face he consequences or continue lying to protect Melissa?
