Chapter 1
Ali's POV:
I saw the girls at lookout point after the revelation that Mona was in fact A and had been torturing all of us for years. She had finally been caught and I could finally return home. I could finally return and live my life. The girls looked so broken and relieved at the same time but my heart arched for Hanna who had just lost her best friend and found out she was the one that made their lives a living hell. I needed so badly to make amends with all of them, I was such a terrible friend (especially to Hanna) where I used her issues with body image against her so she could never rival me as the queen bee of rosewood. I admired her now that she managed to get to the top and still managed to have that heart of gold. Then there is spencer who I pushed and pushed to get to tell Mellissa about her kiss with Ian. I did this as a distraction from growing feelings towards Emily, I thought if that I was with someone else I would be able to keep my feelings in check and push Emily away so I could maintain my perfect image around rosewood. After spending two years on the run, virtually being a nobody, I realized that my image actually meant nothing and was not as important as I thought it out to be. That I would I would just be forget page in the year book. I now wanted to make amends with my friends and forge so long lasting memories. These memories means something, I just wish that I realized that sooner. I also did so terrible things to Aria as well. First of all I blackmailed her father about his affair, well Aria doesn't know about that yet, so I will have to come clean about that if I want a fresh start with no lies or manipulation. I hope that she will forgive me in time. I also was not the friend she needed when she found about the affair, I used this knowledge for my advantage which was my typical behavior at the time.
Then there was Emily who was always my favourite we had a stronger bond than I did with the rest of the girls. I was way my open I let my guard come down when I was just us. I felt she could see the real me. I hurt her the most due to me running away from my growing feelings towards the brunette. That day when she found me reading in the library and she finally made her move and kissed me. I felt I electricity surge through my body and I knew I wanted her. I was so scared after that day I knew that I couldn't be the queen bee if I was dating a girl. I would have been thrown from the top of social pyramid and lost all my power over people at school. When we were in the locker room after gym I asked her to hook my bra and she came over all shy and timid. She hooked my bra and she made her move and starting kissing the side of my neck. She was so bold this time and it scared me to death that I actually like what she was doing. I did the only I was good at and I hurt her in the worst way possible so it would be easier to hide my feelings.
The girls were speaking to the police officers so I remained in the tree line hidden from everyone and the girls looked like they were being taken to the police station for questioning so I left the scene to wait for them so I could appear to them. I was walking down the street trying to find my way to Emily's house. I wanted to see my favourite girl first. Suddenly a convoy of police cars and ambulances drove past me. I hid in a nearby alley to remain hidden. I thought to myself what the deal with all the cops on street was near Emily's house. I walked down the alley and slipped in to nearby woodland area to remain hidden. That's when I saw Emily in complete tears and the other all looked absolute broken. Something terrible must have happened. I pulled up my hood of my redcoat and inched closer towards the crowd forming around the crime scene. A few officers were talking on
