Oh, little liars.
Season One; Episode Eleven.
Hanna was worried about her twin sister, it had been two weeks, and the doctors were giving them nothing but hell. She knew that Claire had been drinking, but that still doesn't excuse them treating her sister as the last priority. "Hanna, sit down. You are making me nervous." Emily said as she watched her friend, she knew Hanna was struggling. "I can't sit still...my sister could have died." She said with anger as she crossed her arms. "What have the doctors said?" Mona asked as she handed Hanna a coffee cup, forcing the blonde to sit down as it was stressing her out. Hanna sighed a bit and took a sip of the coffee, "Just that her blood alcohol was higher than it should have been. That doesn't explain her being in a coma."
"This could be another A attack." Aria suggested, as it wasn't uncommon, "Why would A attack Claire?" Hanna asked as it did not make sense in her brain. "First Aria, now Claire...seems like A is working their way through us." Spencer said as she tried to wrap her brain around it.
"It's been two weeks since A has sent a text or did anything..." Mona said as she had also been targeted by A. "I would not hold your breath." Spencer said as she stood up, feeling unsure about what was going to happen next. "I need to head home, keep me updated." Spencer said as she hugged Hanna.
Claire was in and out of consciousness; all she remembered was drinking to the point of being unable to move. She finally managed to open her eyes; she felt a mixture of confusion and ashamed of herself. "Claire?" Ashley Marin said with relief as she leaned over and looked at her oldest daughter.
"Mo...mom? What happened?" Claire asked as she tried to sit up, but nurses and doctors rushed in at that moment, "Ms. Marin, please relax, your body is still under stress." Wren Kingston told her as he gently pushed her back. Claire was a little surprised to see Melissa's ex-boyfriend as her doctor. "She's confused." Ashley said as she stood up and took Claire's hand. "I'm sorry but I don't want her making herself sick." Wren said, causing Claire to look even more confused. How long had she been out?
Her mind was everywhere, and she was confused as to why she didn't remember most of her drinking binge or even before that. Did something happen? She decided not to bring that part up, not in front of her mother anyways, not yet.
"When can I take her home?" Ashley asked with worry and sat next to her daughter, side by side; Ashley looked like an older version of her daughter. "As soon I check her vitals and we talk about a recovery plan...I do recommend that Claire see a therapist..the amount of alcohol in her system was more than most people could handle." Wren told Ashley and Claire, he showed concern about the older Marin sister, "I even recommend a sponsor, and some AA meetings." He said as Ashley nodded. "No worries, she will be doing all of that." Ashley said as she would not risk losing her children.
Claire did not say anything; arguing would only make this worse.
Spencer arrived at the park; her mind was everywhere with everything that had been happening lately. She looked around for the person that she had come to see. "Surprised you made it." Toby said with a grin as he leaned against a nearby tree before they sat on a bench. "How is Claire?" He asked and looked at Spencer. "Managing, she's awake. Her mom called on my way here."
Toby nodded and opened the paper bag in his hand, pulling out the flash drive he found in the storage unit. "I did what you asked." He said as he handed it over, "Thank you...did you...open it?" She asked as she had no idea what was on it. "No."
Spencer nodded and leaned back. "Are you going to tell me what you know?" She asked as she needed that information with more than she admitted.
"Not one to beat around the bush...I only saw her earlier on Halloween day that year." Toby said as he remembered all those details.
HALLOWEEN DAY, MID-AFTERNOON; ONE YEAR AGO.
Toby sat outside of the DiLaurentis residence, wondering why the younger DiLaurentis sibling needed to see him so badly. He hated Alison for everything she had put him through, especially the Jenna thing. He turned the radio down as he saw Alison exit the house and run across the street to his car. "What is so urgent?" Toby asked, confused, and raised an eyebrow at her. Then, he noticed that she had a bloody lip. "Who did that?" He wondered and reached over, but she stopped him by grabbing his wrist. "Don't..I...can you drive me to Hanna and Claire's house?" She asked in a cold tone, causing his concern to grow. "Uh sure, but why are you bleeding?"
"Just drive!" Alison half screamed at him.
"Woah...did you ever find out anything?" Spencer asked, a little taken back by what she heard. Toby shook his head and looked over at Spencer. "No. We rode in silence and I drove to the Marin house...only...I watched her...she didn't go into the Marin house, she got into 2002 red mustang." He told her as Spencer looked at him, "Noel Kahn drives a red mustang now." Spencer said, a little suspicious now of Noel. "But it wasn't Noel, I stayed behind for a few...just to be sure. Noel and Claire walked out onto the front porch about 20 minutes later."
Spencer took in this information and leaned back against the back of the bench. "Alison is just one big mystery." She admitted as it made her brain hurt.
"That she was." Toby said, looking around the park. "Were you two.." Spencer trailed off and looked over at him as Toby leaned back next to her. "For a moment...only a few makeout sessions...nothing more. She wasn't exactly my type." He said, causing Spencer to snicker a bit. "That's a first." She said, raising an eyebrow at Toby, but he smirked a bit.
Emily sat her stuff down on her bed and laid back on it; she had felt so stressed lately. The only thing that seemed to bring her any comfort was Maya...the girl made her feel... something that she didn't know she could. "You know...it's normal to call people back." Maya said as she entered Emily's room and plopped down on the bed next to her. Emily laughed a bit and looked over, "And knocking isn't?" Emily teased back as she sat up on her elbows, biting her lip. "Your sister let me in. Cute nephew." Maya said with a grin.
"Thank you, I am very proud of his cuteness." Emily said with a smile; she could not help but feel giddy around the other girl; when Maya looked over, it felt like the world had stopped for a moment...she gulped a bit, and before she could stop herself, she kissed Maya.
Maya was a little shocked, but she kissed back, as she had been waiting for this since she met Emily. Emily reached up and cupped her cheek, leaning closer to the other girl.
It felt like electricity was shooting through Emily's body as she subconsciously nipped at Maya's bottom lip, causing her to moan. "Emily?" Pam called from downstairs, causing both girls to jump and pull away. Emily quickly climbed off the bed and gave Maya an apologetic look before heading downstairs to find her mom. "Yeah? What's up?" She asked curiously.
Pam smiled at her daughter a bit. "I wanted to ask about Claire." She said as they were technically family now. "Oh, her mom told us that she is awake but only family right now." Emily told her mom, "Good good, that girl is...I just don't understand how a parent can miss their child drinking." She said, a little upset by the situation. "Mom, people have their own struggles." Julie defended as she loved her mom, but she was not a fan of the judgy attitude. "It's been a rough year for the Marin family with Tatum, and their father." Emily told their mom, agreeing with her older sister.
Hanna felt more than drained as she sat in the waiting room; she was hoping that her sister was okay, as this was a lot to take on in just a few weeks. The others had finally headed home for the day, and she sat alone with her thoughts. "Han." A voice said, and she looked over to see Sean. She smiled a bit and stood up. She went to kiss him, but he pulled back, "What the hell?" She asked, confused, "Hanna. I...I think we should end things, my parents are not liking what happened with Claire." He said as he crossed his arms, he had never liked Claire. Hanna crossed her arms back, "I know that you are not serious." Hanna said with venom. "Hanna, Claire is not a good influence. She was known to make and sell some drugs back when Alison was here, and she was a known flirt." Sean defended, and then Hanna smacked him hard.
"Slut shaming isn't a good look." Hanna said before pushing past him, "And no worries, we were over a while ago." She told him as he had pushed some buttons, and it was clear.
Hanna walked off and headed down the hall to the snack machines as she received a text.
Careful, Han, don't overeat. You might start looking fat again. -A
Hanna read that text and bit back a mixture of anger and tears; only Alison knew about that.
Aria made her way inside of her house, frowning when she heard what sounded like moaning. She wasn't sure what to do as she headed into the living room. She gasped at the sight of her father and Meredith having sex on the couch. She suddenly felt like she was 15 again...all of the memories of hiding his secret...what was she supposed to do?
Her phone went off...
Daddy doesn't like to keep it hidden for long, does he? -A
Aria slammed her phone down in anger, "YOU PROMISED!" She screamed as she was tired of keeping his lies. She was done. She was angry.
"Aria?!" Byron said and quickly covered himself, but his wife and son walked into the room as he did.
Ella was in shock at the sight of this...her husband was cheating. "Get out." Ella told him as Mike pulled his sister back, Aria was in tears. How could he do this? How could he break his promise? She didn't understand. Although she was thankful, she pulled away from her brother, although she was thankful...she ran out of the house and climbed into her car.
She started to drive, and she had no idea where she was going.
"Ella, I can explain." Byron tried to defend him, but in his attempt, Mike punched him hard. "She said get out!" Mike yelled at him; he was just as angry and hurt.
Thank you so much for being patient. I was struggling with writer's block for this chapter so much. But I hope that you enjoyed it.
Who do you think A will attack next? Thoughts on the drama? We have 19 episodes until the end of this season; who do you think is A?
I will be posting a few more fanfictions soon, so be on the lookout for a Supernatural/TVD fanfic, a possible High School Musical fanfic, and a One Tree Hill: The Next Generation fanfic.
