I got to the house, and as I walked in the door Alison, Spencer and Emily ran over to me and they both gave me hugs, "Aria?! Is Hanna alright? How about you? What happened?" they asked me the questions too fast for me to answer them. As they asked me these questions Ali put her arm around me, Spencer took my hand, and Emily put her hand on the small of my back, and they lead me to the kitchen to sit down.

"Alright, Hanna is going to be just fine, I'm fine." I then proceeded to tell them everything that happened this morning.

"I don't know what to say. I can't believe that Hanna is having to go through this along with everything that is going on with -A." Spencer said as she shed a few tears and let her light brown hair come around her face.

"Then you're still pregnant, she's going to have to live with her best friends baby." Alison said staring at my mid-section. This is something that I'm really trying not to think about, and she just has to bring it up. Why Ali? Why?

Emily got wide-eyed when Alison said that to me, "Ali!" she scolded knowing that I don't want to be thinking about that right now, not with everything that's going on.

"What? It's true!" Alison replied defending herself.

"Well yes it might be true but you don't need to tell that to Aria! Just think about the day that she has had!- And look at what she is wearing, she hasn't even gotten a chance to change since they took Hanna to the hospital, she is literally covered in blood!" Emily said getting onto Alison.

My eyes rested on the knife that is sitting next to the oven. It's a little dirty from food, but it's the sharpest one the we have. I started walking to it, I picked it up and brought it to my arm. "Aria! What the hell are you doing?" Emily asked me taking the knife from me before I could do any damage my arm with the knife.

I lost myself, all I can see is the knife that Emily just took away from me, my eyes zeroed in on it. "Aria! You've got a baby to think about now, another living person! You can't be doing that. You had been doing so good, don't let anything change that!" I heard Spencer scold me.

Hearing her say this I looked down at my stomach and nodded my head. "I know." I said with tears filling my eyes. I can't believe that I even thought about doing that. I promised myself, and Hanna, that I would never do that again.

"You're already covered in blood Aria, you don't need any more on you." Alison said eyeing me up and down.

I had forgotten all about the blood covering my clothes with everything going on. I looked down, and it's not a pretty sight. "I guess I should probably go change…. Wait, where is Mike?" I asked after a minute. I haven't seen him since this morning.

"Well… There wasn't anyone to watch after him, and we were in class, and Toby is working…" Spencer told me, trying to put off what she is about to say. Who is he with, and why doesn't she want me to know where she left my baby brother?

"Spencer. Where is Mike?" I asked her yet again, the way she is talking I have to say that I'm a little bit scared about what she is going to tell me.

"He is with Melissa. She was the first person that I could think of that didn't have anything to do right now, to have time to watch after him." she informed me with a guilty voice, and she should be guilty!

This is not something that I really wanted to hear, "You left my blind baby brother with Melissa? Have you lost your freaking mind? When have we ever trusted Melissa with anything? Why would we trust her now? With Mike?!" It might just be my hormones talking but this makes me very angry. I ran out the door and to my car, disregarding the fact that I'm still wearing my blood soiled clothes.

They ran after me, "Aria! It's alright, at least come change, you're covered in blood!" Emily called after me. At this point I really don't care what I look like, I just need my baby brother and I need him now. Why the hell would they leave him with Melissa of all people? Why couldn't they have gone with I don't know, anybody other then Melissa?!


I speed to the Hastings household and walked in the door without knocking. Mike is sitting on the sofa next to Melissa and she is doing school work with him. "Alright Mike we're going home. I've had a hard day and you need to get to bed." I said walking over to him and taking his hand.

Melissa looked at me with wide eyes, and I could tell she was a little freaked out by my appearance. "Aria are you alright? You look horrible!" she asked me her eyes focusing on the mad look in my eyes and the blood stain on my clothes.

"I'm fine I just need Mike at home, and I need to get back to the hospital to be with Hanna, she needs me right now." I informed her making Mike stand up. I am soo ready to be out of here, and I could really go for a hamburger.

"Well, I'm fine taking care of Mike. You should really be with Hanna right now. You're fine with me, aren't you Mike?" Melissa offered in a concerned voice. You know I really think that Melissa is bipolar because is day she is super nice and happy, the next she is super mean and irritable.

Mike shrugged, "She's right Aria, you need to be with Hanna, I'll be fine." Mike said. By his tone of voice he really doesn't want to be here, but he is willing if need be, I don't want him to be here any longer then need be, and we have already past that point.

"Emily, Alison, Spencer and Toby are home and Ezra should be getting off soon, I can bring him home." I said picking up Mike's school work and I put it under my arm. As I did this, my phone rang. "Hello?" I answered seeing that it was Toby.

"Spencer was pushed down the stair case. -A was inside the house." he informed me.
