13 Reasons Why

by TheMidnightSociety

Based off the book/TV show "13 Reasons Why"... but plot twist, (this) Hanna lives. A box of cassette tapes recorded by Hanna before her (failed) suicide details thirteen reasons why she tried to end her life. With Hanna not actually dying, how will these select individuals face her now that they know their actions, however small, almost cost the girl her life? Based off of 5A. AU.

14. Tape 7, Side A

I recorded 12 tapes. I started with my dad, because he was the beginning of my life's downward spiral. Then Kate. Who ruined my home life and reputation. Hey. Ken, Spencer, Emily, Aria, who each didn't believe me. On through Ali and Mona who broke my spirit. Through tape number 13, "A" who broke my soul.

You heard that right. Mona and "A" have two separate tapes. Yes Mona was "A", the original "A". But after she went to Radley, there was another person torturing us. I vaguely mentioned this "A" in other tapes but now they get a tape of their very own. And how fitting is it that both of "A's" tapes are on the A side of their cassettes? I did that intentionally.

But this "A" probably won't ever hear these tapes. Scratch that. I'm sure he/she/it/bitch will. They're "A"; they're everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They seem to know my secrets before I do.

Spencer, Emily, Aria and I all thought it was the end of "A" when Mona was locked away in Radley. But no, of course not. That was too good to be true. Now we had another psychopath out to ruin our lives.

What I want to know is, is what the hell did the four (well, five of us now) do this time? What did we all do that was so bad that we deserve to be threatened, tortured and blackmailed on a daily basis? Haven't we been through enough? I know we're not saints but I think we deserve some happiness. Or at least a life where we're not scared to check our phones.

"A", if you had a heart, maybe you would stop torturing my friends when I'm gone. Don't you want us all dead anyway? I saved you some trouble and killed myself for you. One less Liar to deal with, right? The only thing I regret about committing suicide is not having the chance to find out who you are. But maybe I'll find out who you are when I see you in Hell.

My dad replaced me with Kate and my mom replaced me with Ali so I don't think either of them will miss me when I'm gone. My friends didn't seem to care about me when I was alive so why would they care about me when I'm dead? But it's funny when you're dead how people start listening…

I think I've made myself very clear but no one's coming forward to stop me. Some of you care. None of you cared enough. Neither did I. And I'm sorry. So it's the end of tape 13. There's nothing more to say.
