A/N:

Hey there, friendship!

Okay, so don't get too excited, this is quite a short update, that's why it's up so soon after the previous chapter one.

I had planned to make this longer but... I decided that I like to be cruel and I quite enjoy having the power to keep you on the edge of your seats.

Moihahahahaha :)

Just a short filler to keep it interesting. (I actually just read over it and it is sooooo short, I can't remember the last time I wrote such a short chapter!)

I also did a bit of a POV change, since I wanted to show how Aria about the whole thing.

I think I might do that every now and again, just to keep the story more balanced and so it's not constantly one sided.

P.S: I felt so bad at how sad you guys were about their fight! Didn't mean to upset anyone :P

Read, Enjoy, Review!

Aria's POV:

As soon as the words came out of my mouth I knew I had gone too far.

Sure I was mad as hell that Spencer was getting all that attention, but ripping into her like that, saying all those horrible things… It wasn't me. And what made it even worse was that it wasn't Spencer either. Not one of the things I said to her was true. She was a wonderful person. An amazing girlfriend. Never anything but supportive and sweet to me. And I was just a complete ass to her.

I needed to go and apologise for what I said to her and just hope and pray that she would forgive me. It was finally time to move from the spot Spencer had left me in a few minutes ago. I got up and walked back to the cafeteria. I saw Emily hit Hanna as she saw me walk in, both looking equally worried.

"Aria? Where did you go?"

"I just… needed a minute."

"Oh… I guess Spencer must still be looking for you." Hanna shrugged.

"Wait… you mean she hasn't come back yet?" I asked, now worried myself.

"She left a few minutes ago to find you, she went straight after you." Emily said.

"Oh no…" I said, the realisation finally setting in, and I ran straight outside. I heard Hanna and Emily set off quickly after me, and Emily telling something to Laura as we left.

"Aria? What's going on?" Hanna asked when we exited the front doors.

"She's not still looking for me. She found me. And when she did I was so angry, I said awful things to her. And now her car is gone!" I yelled, standing in the spot where Spencer had parked that morning.

"What? What did you say to her? She can't have just left and not told any of us."

"I… I… I can't tell you! I was so horrible!" I was getting hysterical and I needed to see her. I needed to make sure she was okay. I needed her. I was so angry with her, and now I'm just mad at myself for being such a complete tool. "I have to say sorry, I need to find her!" I ran to my car and tried getting in but I was quickly grabbed by Hanna and Emily.

"Aria, we know you need to find her, but we can't just leave school." Emily said calmly.

"Why not! Spencer did!" I yelled.

"Ar, you're really upset right now, and we promise we'll find her, but we'll do it together, we're not letting you go off on your own." Hanna said.

I knew they were right and as I came back from my disorientated spell, I became more and more upset. I dropped to the ground and began crying. I can't believe I was so stupid.

"It's okay Ar. We'll find her, I promise." Hanna said, sitting beside me.

"But you know she drives really fast on a normal day. How fast do you think she's driving right now? What if she's hurt herself?" I asked, and Hanna and Emily looked at each other, their composed faces now turning to worried as they realised I was right.

"What if we're already too late?" I said my thoughts out loud. Because it was all I could do.

Spencer's POV:

My thoughts were scattered and my body felt like it was burning. I ripped my blazer off and threw it out the window; it got caught in the wind and flew into a tree. I wasn't sure if that was really because of the wind or if it was possible it may be down to the speed I was now driving at.

Aria always told me to drive carefully. She always told me to slow down.

But Aria wasn't here. And Aria didn't care about me. So she wouldn't care what I was doing right now. I could drive as fast as I liked.

The thoughts of her were running around in my head, constantly repeating those words over and over again.

'You just have to have everyone's attention.'

'You just want to take everything from everyone.'

I put my foot down on the accelerator and increased my speed, turning around sharp corners and driving in the middle of the empty road. I wasn't sure where I was going but I knew where I wanted to end up. I needed to get away from here. From her. Even though I was pretty sure she needed me gone more than I wanted to leave her. No matter what she had said to me, I knew she was just angry. And I would forgive her, I would change, if that's what she wanted. I would do anything for her, I just wish she knew that.

I felt out of control, and I felt like I needed to be. I couldn't control Aria's feelings and I couldn't control her love for me. So there was no point in trying to anymore. Slowly but surely I had started to let go and enjoy the feeling of not knowing what was around the corner. And I enjoyed the feeling of being unable to control anything.

Unfortunately for me, it was the car I was unable to control. And it was the truck that was just around the corner I didn't know about.

Aria's POV:

School was finally over and I grabbed both Emily and Hanna as soon as they were in reaching distance and dragged them to my car. Emily said she would drive since she was probably the most rational of us all at the moment, and I sat I the front seat beside her, leaving Hanna in the back.

"Okay, we need to think logically about this. Where could she have gone? Where would she have gone?"

"Home?" Hanna asked. We both looked at her. "What? It's as good a possibility as anywhere else!"

"We should check there, but we'll leave her house until last. If she decided to take a detour, she'll probably end up there later rather than sooner."

"Good idea. Okay, so we should check the club, and the bars, she may have wanted to drown her sorrows. And we should check the library too." I said.

"Okay, let's get going." Emily turned the engine on and quickly pulled out of the school car park.

It had been a few hours since we had left school in search of Spencer, and still we had found nothing.

"Guys, I'm starting to get worried. We've checked everywhere." I said as we sat down at our usual table in Apple Rose.

"Try calling her again." Hanna said,

"It's no use, I've been calling her all day. Her phone is switched off." I said.

All my anger had completely dissipated. It wasn't Spencer's fault that all those girl were trying to date her, and all I did was yell at her for being a total catch. The jealousy and anger had been replaced by fear and worry. But most of all, guilt. This was entirely my fault. She had left and gone somewhere because of what I had said, and now we couldn't find her anywhere. I breathe heavily, tapping my fingers on the table and staring off into the distance. I felt two hands take my own and still my anxious tapping.

"Hey… we'll find her." Emily said as her and Hanna's hands squeezed mine supportively.

I was trying my best to stay calm.

I was trying my best to be positive.

But as the day came towards an end, as the sun went down, and as our hopes of finding Spencer tonight became less and less likely, it was all I could do not to give up right in that moment.
