There are people we can't forget, but we do…

Chapter 14

Hanna's P.O.V.

Lucas and I got to the 'Brew' an hour ago and now we were talking about our lives, what happened so far, our jobs and things like that. But again, he did most the talking since I didn't really have much to talk about.

He mentioned Caleb and I told him the whole story I had to tell everyone, how I cheated on him with Jordan and how he tried to kill me and that he's arrested now.

And again, the word kidnap went through my head and that horrifying memory of me on the metal table flood back to my mind again.

He was comfortable to be around and to talk to.

I mean, sure, I trusted the girls and Jordan, but it's different knowing who you're actually talking to and remembering everything about them.

"So why are you mad at Jordan?-I mean it's reasonable to be mad since he left you with a complete stranger, but I have a feeling there's something else." he said.

"Don't analyze me Lucas." I mumbled, grouchy.

"I'm just trying to help." he said.

I sighed "Ever since I got back from the hospital, he's never been around! All he does is work and he doesn't care about me at all! I don't even know why I'm engaged with him."

"Well if you decided to get engaged with him, he's probably a decent guy, I've never met him before, but if you two loved each other to even have an affair, then I think your love is real. You should give him a little time, if he loves you, he'll come around." he said.

Wow. Okay, I think that totally came from personal experience, well maybe not the affair part, but he must be in love with someone.

"Do you have a girlfriend? I mean that whole speech isn't something you just read every day and remember it, it comes from experience." I said.

He blushed "Yes, I have a girlfriend. She's a bit older than me, but age doesn't matter, we love each other." he said "But she's not here now."

I nodded.

He looked down at my drink "Aren't you gonna…" he zoned off "Are you pregnant?"

I sheepishly nodded.

"Wow Hanna, that's amazing! Jordan's, right?" he said.

"Yes." I said "But don't tell anyone, I just got back from the hospital and we can't wait to tell someone, but we decided to make it as a special occasion."

"Don't worry, my lips a sealed." he said.

I noticed how he kept glancing to the clock and nervously checking his phone as if the clock in the 'Brew' was incorrect. I would've asked, but he already stood up.

"I-I've got a meeting, from work." he said "Do you need me to walk you back home?"

I shook my head "You're in a hurry, just go, I remembered the way anyway."

"Are you sure?" he asked, his eyes drifting back to the clock.

"Just go!" I said "I'll call Jordan if I get lost."

"Thanks." he hugged me "See you around."

He was already out before I could say bye.

He must be in a hurry, maybe he has a date…nah! He said his girlfriend isn't here.

I put my coat back on and took my bag, leaving the 'Brew'.

I was heading down the way we came from, but it was kind of getting hazy, I couldn't quite remember where exactly we came from…

I got distracted by a store and starting staring at the amazing shoes over there and didn't notice a petite girl bumping into me.

I looked down and she was on the ground "Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" I gave her a hand to stand up "Are you OK?"

"Yes, yes I'm fine." she smiled at me.

After a short silence she spoke again with a glare "I know we're not the best of friends Hanna, but at least you can say hi."

"Uh, hi?" I said awkwardly.

Was I supposed to know her?

Her face softened "So how are you, how's Caleb? I heard you were at the hospital."

There's that name again! Ugh, why do people always mention him!-Then again no one knows it's his fault we almost got killed, and I intend on everyone finding out the truth.

"Well I'm alright, but Caleb won't be." I said.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry!" she said.

"Why?" she gave me a weird look "I'm not. He deserves worse than that."

"But Hanna, he loves you a-and you love him!" she said confusedly.

"He tried to kill me." I said "The car accident wasn't an accident."

She looked at me shocked.

I didn't really notice at the moment, but her eyes were drifting behind me every few seconds.

"I don't understand, Caleb would never do something like that to you! Remember all the times he's been there for you!" she said.

"Now would probably be a good time to tell you that I've got amnesia." I said sheepishly.

"What?" she asked, her eyes now completely focusing on me with a shocked expression on her face "You don't remember anything, do you. Not even me."

I slowly shook my head "I'm sorry."

"I'm Mona." she said, her voice not as strong as before "I'm your fri-acquaintance."

"Nice to meet you." I said, not knowing a more appropriate response.

She nodded "Have you seen Aria around? That's actually why I got out…"

"No." I shook my head "Sorry."

"Alright. Well, see you around." she said, walking away speedily.

I started heading in the way I thought I came from. In a short while I was sure I got lost!

And now that I knew I'm lost, everything seemed a bit scarier, it was getting darker since it was late, but everything around me was so quiet.

I started walking faster, afraid that someone would jump out of nowhere and grab me.

And as if someone heard my thoughts, before I knew it, someone snatched me, pulling me in an alley.

I let out a little scream and quickly turned around to see who it is.

"Mona what the heck!?" I said angrily.

"Sh!" she put a finger on her mouth.

She peeked behind the corner of the alley and pointed at a spot.

I went to see what she's pointing at but there was nothing there "What are you doing?"

"There's a person, can't you see…" she looked at the spot and saw that no one was there "He was right there!"

"I'm leaving." I started getting out of the alley. Mona was either messing with me or was crazy.

"No, wait!" she grasped my hand, desperation in her voice "There!"

I looked to where she was pointing and indeed there was a person just standing there.

The person had black pants and a black hoodie with a plain black mask covering his face and in his hand was a knife shining in the street lights.

I gasped "I see him." I said.

We stayed at the alley a while longer until the person left.

After a while both our phones buzzed at the same time.

This made me think of that 'A' person, what if he's behind all of this? What if that's someone trying to kill us!

We both took out our phones to read the texts.

Two little liars, alone in the night. You know, you should really watch your backs.

-A

We looked at each other with fear in our eyes, she must've gotten the same text.

We instinctively looked back and there was something on the wall behind us.

It was a big red 'A'.

We slowly got closer to it.

I could see Mona's whole body trembling from fear. She must've really been afraid of this person whoever it is.

She touched the letter and sighed "It's not blood." she voiced what we've both been thinking.

I looked up and there was another message above the 'A' "Look."

She looked up and read the message too.

Next time it'll be your blood.

Now I was really scared, this person sounded serious!

"Maybe you should call someone to take you home, it may not be safe to go alone." she said, she was trying to stay strong, but I could hear her voice shaking and overwhelming with fear.

"I'll call Jordan." I said "And you're coming too."

…

General P.O.V.

Aria was numbly staring at the person in front of her, not believing her eyes. This was the last person she'd expected to see in Ezra's apartment, as ironic as it was.

Ezra's mother was standing right in front of her.

Aria quickly wiped away her tears and tried to straighten up her face. She always felt like the woman was judging her, even now when she wasn't with Ezra.

She sometimes even thought it was her fault she and Ezra broke up, but of course she couldn't control what Ezra said. After all, he broke up with her for apparent reasons, he just didn't want to be with her.

"Aria!" she said, sounding surprised, even though her features didn't change-they usually didn't.

"H-hello Mrs. Fitzgerald." stuttered Aria, she always felt nervous, like the woman's gonna kill her with one look if she said the wrong thing.

"Well it is a surprise seeing you here!" she said.

"Likewise." said Aria and immediately bit her tongue.

"Glad to see you still haven't changed from the rude and arrogant girl you were before!" she said.

"That's right, I haven't changed, but you have." said Aria "You are even worse than I remember. I remember the last time you were at Ezra's, you wanted to stop him trying to ask me to marry him and he told you he never wanted to see you again! Well newsflash, he still thinks that and whatever reason you're here for it's definitely not to make peace offering or offend the first person who shows up at the door, so I suggest you get out of my way before I get rid of you myself!" she yelled. She was so angry for what happened to her so she had to get her anger out on someone and she was glad it was Mrs. Fitzgerald.

Ezra who showed up in the middle of her speech was now staring at her in shock, but his shock turned in admiration.

"You're just a girl my son used to sleep with, you're not even worth his time, and neither is that mistake of yours you call Alex!" she spat.

Aria couldn't take it after she offended Alex and slapped her hard across her face "Get out!"

She left the building, glaring at her.

"Would you like to come in?" said Ezra.

She nodded and entered the apartment. She sat down on the couch.

"I'm sorry." she said "I didn't mean to slap her or chase her away but no one can speak like that about Alex."

"No it's alright, I get it!" he said "She deserves what she got, believe me! I wanted to do that for so long!"

He came back from the kitchen with a glass of water and Aria was sitting on the couch and crying.

"Aria…" he just noticed the bruises and cuts all over her body "What happened?" he asked alarmed.

"I'm sorry." she said "I'm a terrible person, I should've just kept my mouth shut and leave!"

"No, Aria, talk to me!" he said.

She sighed "Something happened and I didn't know where else to go, this is the first place I thought of."

"What happened?" he asked.

"I-I was out and I fell." she quickly lied "I didn't want to go home like this."

"It's okay." he said, he quickly went to the bathroom and came back with cold cream and bandages to nurse her injuries "Just remember that you and Alex are always welcomed here."

"Thank you." she said.

After a few moments of silence, Aria texted Emily to take Alex to her.

And a few moments after, Aria got a text from Hanna.

She stood up and headed to the door.

"Hey where are you going?" asked Ezra.

"Hanna texted me to come." she said "She said it's urgent."

Author's note

Hi! So I kind of forgot to post yesterday.

I really want to finish this story because I don't like leaving unfinished things but it seems no one's reading it. Or at least liking it. I'm not really sure whether I should continue this story or not…

Anyway, I really liked the last PLL episode and I'm very excited for the next one! Have you seen the promos?-You must!

Please tell me if you like my story so I know if I should continue it. I won't be here the next two weeks so I might not post next week, but I should be able to post the week after the next one-if you want to keep reading.

Thanks for reading and I hope you like my story because I really don't want to stop writing it!
