Chapter 13

Gracie's POV

At lunch, Alicia just had some water and a yogurt. She looked horrible and a wreck.

"Mom was really worried about you yesterday" i tell her.

"She should be. I'm going back to Brett's today. I'm not going home" she replies.

"You have to Alicia. Emily will be so upset if you don't" Gwen says.

"I really don't care. She should trust me" Alicia says, staring into her cup of yogurt.

"She does. She was a total mess when we went over yesterday to try and find you" Abigail says.

"Well, maybe i will go home, just for a bit" Alicia says. All of us smile. Thank god. I don't know what mom would have done. She would have probably had a mental breakdown. Actually, that would have been kind of funny.

The rest of the day goes by fast and soon all of us are heading home. Alicia and I walk in and my mom is on the couch, on the phone. When she sees Alica, she hangs up and hugs her. Alicia shakes her off. I decide to leave, not wanting to get in the middle of things.

Alicia's POV

My mom hugged me when I got home. I shook her off. I was so mad at her. She was so horrible when she found out. I bet she wouldn't have done that if it was Gracie. She trusts her more then me. She treats me like I'm some helpless child who needs her mom to tie her shoes and hold her hand when she walks across the street. Well, I don't.

"Honey, I m so sorry for what i did yesterday" my mom says. She looks sorry, but looks don't always cut it.

"Well, mom, sorry doesn't always cut it. You weren't supportive at all. You acted like you knew what was best and that you knew Brett, but you didn't. You made me feel like I was still some three year old. You can't even trust me," I shout at my mom, "You have treated me like I'm some piece of glass that could break at any moment and I'm sick of it. I want you to treat me like you treat Gracie. And I wish you would just meet the guy before you judge him. I'm so sick and tired of you and what you think you know, since you don't know everything mom". At the end, I'm crying my eyes out. My mom runs over and hugs me and I don't shake her off.

"Sweetie, I'm so sorry. I was just upset that you didn't tell me. I promise to be there for you, no matter what' my mom says.

"It's ok mom. I should have told you instead of keeping it a secret. I'm kind of glad A.." I start but I stop. I can't tell my mom. She gives me a shocked look.

"What was that honey?" my mom asks, all panicked.

"Nothing" i say, running up to my room.

Peyton's POV

I was in the shed, reading my mom's diary. It was getting really juicy. My mom's friend just was found dead.

Ali's body was found. And you know, the same day, I started getting these texts from someone named A, who knows all my secrets. Did i just read that right? My mom got texts from A. I continue to read and find out so did Aunt Aria, Aunt Hanna, and Aunt Emily.

Wait, they must have figured out who sent the texts. I read the pages, finding out everything A did to them. It almost killed Hanna with a car, made my dad hate my mom, drugged Emily and tons of other crazy things. Then I find it. The page i've been looking for. Who A is.

I was in the lair, when I saw a bag of sweaters. i knew Mona had bought them. And that she was A. I turned and saw her in the hoddie. This was not going to be good.

Oh my god. Mona's A. No wonder my parents hate her. Alicia, she's dating her son. I have to tell her. i have to tell everyone. But, what's that in the air. Is that... smoke? Uh, oh.

OOHHH! Ok, so i finally finsihed. I really hope you liked it. And look at what Peyton found out. and where is the smoke coming from. Tell me what you think happens next! Bye for now.
