Hello, soo this chapter will follow after the scene of Toby with the hoodie, we will see again the scene of the forest but at the end of the chapter. Like always, any comment is welcome, have a great day :D…


Chapter 63 – Sealing our fate

(Spencer's narrative) The Game…. They say a person either has what it takes to play or they don't. There comes a moment when it's more than just a game and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. At some point you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross… and when you cross them… there's no way back… so the question is: 'Are you willing to take the chance? Are you ready to deal with the consequence of your actions? Are you ready to see the view from the other side, once you cross those lines?' I can tell you, that my friends and I… we weren't ready… I wasn't…

(In Rosewood hospital at night)

The chief nurse. – "Dr. Sloan, what you're still doing here? I thought that your shift finished some hours ago…?"

Blair smiled. – "Yeah, it did but I just want to check on a friend…" (She showed a bag) "I brought him some donuts…" (Smile)

The nurse raised an eye brow, not approving the food…

Blair pouted. – "Come on, how deathly can be a donut…" (She took one and offered it to the nurse) "Here, one for you… with all my love…" (Big smirk)

The nurse chuckled and took the donut. – "You really have a dangerous charming, now I get why there're so many broken hearts on my staff because of you…"

Blair chuckled and blushed

The nurse started walking away as she said. – "Don't disturb too much my patient doctor…" (Smirks) "Neither my nurses okay?"

Blair. – "Don't worry…" (Deep breath and a weak smile as she talked to herself) "Actually, I think that my heart is already taken…" (She rubbed her head) "What the hell I'm saying…" (Sad chuckle) "I can't fall for you… you'll never love me back…" (Sighs and then she shook her head) "Come on Blair, you need to get your head straight…"

(Blair's narrative) As doctors, as friends, as human beings, we all try to do the best we can but the world is full of unexpected twist and turns…

Blair was walking towards Toby's room; she was already eating a donut, a donut that she just dropped on the floor as soon as she saw a black hoodie trying to take an unconscious Toby away from the hospital…

Blair said with anger. – "What the hell you think you're doing?!"

The black hoodie smirked. – "Don't try to stop me… doctor…"

Blair said with determination. – "You're not taking him out of here… not under my watch…."

The black hoodie said with a mocking tone. – "Do you really thing you can stop me?"

Blair said with determination. – "YES…"

The black hoodie said. – "You really have a death wish, isn't it…?"

(Blair's narrative) In hospitals, they say you know when you're going to die. Some doctors say it's a look patients get in their eyes. Some say there's a scent, a smell of death. Some say there's just some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is heading for you, you feel it coming. Whatever it is, it's creepy because if you know, what do you do about it? Forget about the fact that you're scared out of your mind?

If you knew this might be your last moment on earth… if you knew that this was your breaking point… would you do things different? Would you run away from death? Or would you do exactly the same?In my case, I can say that I would do exactly the same, I would… just for her….

(In the DiLaurentis-Fields house at night)

Emily was checking that all the doors and the windows were well locked; she went upstairs, she didn't find her wife on their bedroom; so she looked for her on the house; she sighed heavy when she found her beautiful blonde sobbing on the room of their boys…

Alison was sitting on one of the beds of the boys, the room was empty, in silence and dark… the blonde was folding the laundry when she got overwhelmed by the absence of the boys in the house. It hasn't been yet even a day, and she's already missing them as crazy. Emily slowly approached and sat at her side, she rubbed Alison's back as the blonde was gripping on the clean clothes of the boys.

Alison said with tears and sad chuckles. – "I just did their laundry and I'm already dirtying their clothes with my tears…"

Emily said as she hugged her wife. – "Ali…"

The blonde leaned her head on Emily's shoulder; they stood in silence, just hugging each other as they were missing their little treasures so much…

Alison broke the silence when she said. – "Why do we bring down always more trouble on ourself?"

Emily. – "What do you mean?"

Alison sighed heavy. – "I feel like we always hit the self-destruct button and bring hell to us…"

Emily. – "Ali…"

Alison chuckled with sadness. – "Maybe we like the pain… maybe we're wired that way cause without it, we just wouldn't feel real…"

Emily. – "Ali… please don't talk like that…"

Alison stood up and said with pain, frustration and anger. – "Em, it's true! Look at us! Look at this empty room! There's still blood on the carpet, where our kids play!"

Emily looked down and she gulped hard as she was staring at the stain of blood on the floor. She felt the tears falling down from her chocolate eyes as she was picturing in her head the awful night that her wife and her little boys spent that night…

Emily. – "I'm sorry… I should have been here and protect you… all of you…"

Alison sighed. – "It's not your fault Em, I asked you to leave that night…"

Emily stood up and said, angry with herself. – "Yeah, but I shouldn't have left any way…"

(Awkward silence)

Alison looked down and asked. – "Do you think… do you think that they will remember…? I hope they don't… I wish they never remember that night… I don't want them to have that kind of traumas Em, because it hunts you forever, I know that, I'm a living proof of that and I don't want that for them… they're just kids Em…. They should never live that kind of nightmares…" (Tears)

Emily hugged her wife and said as she was caressing her head. – "Ssshhh… I know…. I hope too that they will not get traumatized for what happened with Lorenzo and the other hoodie… but even if they do… we will deal with that together… as the family that we're…"

Alison gripped on Emily and said. – "I'm scared, Em…"

Emily. – "I know… me too… but I will protect you, I will protect our family… I promise…"

Alison chuckled. – "Hmmm…. My killer…"

Emily chuckled. – "Yeah… your killer…"

They were hugging when Alison broke the hug because her phone started to ring. The blonde took the call and Emily got worried when she noticed the look on Alison…

Emily said with concern. – "Ali… what is wrong?!"

(In Spencer's barn)

Spencer was cleaning up a little; she has been having struggles to sleep but she refused to take pills; worried to fall again on her old bad habits. She was putting some things on her closet and she smiled when she saw her tennis racket; she smiled when the memory of her last game with Blair hit her mind. She bitted her lips and played with the racket on her hands for a while, just struggling with her own impulse that she was having… in the end she decided to follow her impulse and grabbed her phone.

She was typing a text to Blair: 'Hi, I was wondering if you have time… if you want…" (She erased the text and typed again) "Hi, it's Spencer; I wanted to know if you're free tomorrow and…"

Spencer sighed with frustration as she was erasing once again the text. – "Come on Hastings, what the hell are you doing…?!"

She dropped her phone on her bed; she was walking in circles around her bed, just with arms crossed and biting her lips. Suddenly, she threw her body on bed and she was lying on bed as she took once again her phone on her hands.

Spencer typed. – "If you want the revenge of our last game, I could consider playing with you tomorrow…" (She smirked as she continued typing) "The one who loses, will invite dinner again…"

She pushed the bottom of send and she smiled, she got up from her bed, leaving the phone in there.

Spencer was serving a glass of wine when her phone started to ring; she quickly threw herself on bed and she smiled as she took the call; she didn't see who was calling her, she just thought that it was Blair, after all, the other brunette always replied by calling her when she just send her a text…

Spencer smirked, as she was brushing the glass of wine on her lips. – "Really, you could just text me back, you know…" (Smirks and teased tone) "Or it was that you just wanted to hear my voice?"

Emily. – "Spence?!"

Spencer blushed and stood up from her bed. – "Emily?! Hi! Sorry… I just…" (Chuckles) "Never mind, I didn't see who was calling me and I just… I misunderstood you with someone else, never mind… what's up? Why are you calling me at this hour?"

Spencer was drinking from her glass as she was hearing Emily on the phone. Suddenly, she froze and the glass of wine just dropped on the floor, spilling the wine all over her white carpet.

Spencer said with tears on her eyes and with a heartbreaking voice. – "Wh-…. Wh… what are you saying…?!"

(Spencer's narrative) Fear is like family… everyone has one. But fears can be so personal and different, just like all families in the world. There are fears as simple as exploring your own feelings… fear to face your insecurities… fear to damage others...

There're fears that act as our conscience… fear of being guilty of hurting people around you… there's also the fear of what we don't want to feel… of what we don't want to see… of the unknown… as the fear of death… fear that a loved one disappears… maybe forever…

So what do you do when you're feeling it… the fear? Do you lie to yourself, or do you face the fear and walk through it even if you know that it might hurt as hell…?

(In Rosewood hospital)

Emily was holding Alison's hand as both were in the waiting room.

Alison said with watery-eyes. – "I can't believe this is happening… she… she can't die like this Em… she doesn't deserve to die like this…!"

Emily hugged Alison as she said. – "She will not die Ali… she will make it through… you will see…"

Emily was comforting Alison as two brunettes were approaching, one of them was more crushed than the other…

Yvonne. – "Hi, I heard that your friend got hurt by helping my Toby… I… I'm sorry…."

Alison was going to say something but she didn't as the other brunette approached…

Spencer snapped against the blonde. – "What the hell, Ali?! Why you didn't call me sooner?! Do you really think that you're the only one who cares about her?! Huh?!" (She pushed Alison with anger)

Emily stood up between them, taking a defensive, protective posture…

Emily. – "Hey! Calm down! Don't you dare to push her ever again!"

Both brunettes were gazing at each other when the other liars came…

Hanna. – "What is happening here?"

Alison sighed. – "I don't know, ask Spencer, she's just pissed off and I really don't get why? Toby is find, that's why I didn't call: it was Em's idea to call all of you…"

Aria said as she looked at Emily and Spencer with lethal looks on their eyes. – "Ok guys, let's calm down and breathe…"

Spencer said angry, ignoring Aria and the others. – "So what Ali?! Just because Toby is find, you will keep this to yourself?!" (She yelled with anger) "Blair is dying right now and you've no right to keep that to yourself!"

Alison snapped. – "Don't yell! I'm not deaf! And she's my friend NOT yours!"

Spencer pushed Emily and she took Alison from the collar of her blouse as she said to her. – "She's my friend too! She's important for me too!"

Emily snapped on her killer mode when she saw Spencer grabbing Alison from the collar of her blouse and she was going to throw herself against Spencer like a lion but Hanna stopped her…

Hanna. – "Wow! Wow! Ok, everybody needs to calm down ok! We've enough drama already and we don't need to add more by killing each other ok!"

Aria said as she was putting herself between Alison and Spencer. – "Hann is right, please, I know that you two care deeply for Blair but you need to calm down, fighting with each other will not resolve anything…"

Alison rolled her eyes as well as Spencer. After a moment of awkward silence…

Yvonne asked to Alison. – "How is she?"

Alison. – "In surgery… she has lost a lot of blood…" (She said with heartbroken voice) "Doctors said that she has just 5% of surviving…"

Spencer sighed deeply; she looked down at her fists that were trembling with anger and frustration…

Hanna asked. – "What about Toby…?"

Yvonne. – "Toby is fine, he's now in a new room, he's still dizzy by the sedative that they gave him…. But he's fine… thanks to your friend…."

Aria. – "How this happened?"

Alison. – "I don't know the details, but it looks like someone came for Toby at night and Blair caught him and after some struggle, she got hurt…"

Hanna. – "Do we know who the other person was?"

Alison shook her head. – "No… some nurses just identified a black hoodie, running away… he got badly hurt and there was blood on the floor so maybe the police will be able to identify him with the blood sample…"

(Awkward silence)

Yvonne. – "I… I will be with Toby, the police put two cops on his room to watch up but I really don't want to leave him alone… I hope that your friend makes it…"

Alison. – "Thanks, I hope Toby gets better soon too…"

Yvonne gave her a shy smile and she was walking away but she returned and she patted Spencer's arm as she said…

Yvonne. – "I'm not sure why I'm saying this but you look really upset for what just happened… do you wanna see Toby, he's ok but maybe seeing him and see that he's ok, it will make you feel better…"

Spencer hesitated for a moment but at the end she followed her. Yvonne was talking with the cops as Spencer sat on the chair that was besides Toby's bed. She was lost on her thoughts but she came back on earth when someone called her name…

Toby. – "Hey…"

Spencer. – "Hey…" (She patted Toby's hand) "Do you know what just happened…?"

Toby. – "I don't know what happened really, everything is so blurry… like a dream…"

Spencer. – "More like a nightmare…"

(Awkward silence)

Toby. – "I'm not sure if what I will tell you is truth or it just something that my mind made up but…"

Spencer. – "Please Toby, just tell me…."

Toby. – "I just remember being in my bed and then someone approached, this person put something in my IV and as I was closing my eyes, I heard what he said… he said: 'Now it's your turn to play the game, Spencer'…"

Spencer huffed, she felt her blood boiling with anger, she was the reason why Toby got target in this sickie game and also she was definitely the reason why Blair got badly hurt…

Spencer. – "Did you recognize this person…? The hoodie…?"

Toby avoided eye-contact but Spencer forced him to look at her into the eyes…

Spencer. – "Please Toby, tell me… who w-…"

Toby. – "It was Wren…"

After visiting Toby, Spencer was walking like a zombie on the halls of the hospital, still processing all the information…

Hanna said as she looked at the brunette. – "You look like crap…" (Spencer didn't reply with another sarcastic comment so Hanna understood that something was really bad) "Hey… are you ok…?"

Spencer sat on the floor and Hanna sat at her side…

Spencer. – "Is there any news about Blair…?"

Hanna. – "Nop… she's still in surgery…"

Spencer. – "Hmmm…"

Hanna. – "You snapped against Ali… really bad… what was that?!"

Spencer didn't reply; she just made another question…

Spencer. – "Why the hospital called Ali?!"

Hanna. – "She's Blair's medical contact for emergency… after all they're besties…"

Spencer said with frustration. – "She's not her only friend…"

Hanna. – "I know… I also consider Blair as a friend but I guess that she and Ali have more history together…"

Spencer said with a bitter voice. – "Just because Blair had a crush on Ali on high school, that doesn't make Ali any more special than the rest of us…"

(Awkward silence)

Hanna. – "You look more upset of what happened with Blair than of what happened with Toby…"

Spencer. – "It's not like that! Toby is fine, he's safe and Blair…. She…." (She gulped hard) "She can die… I don't want her to die…"

(Awkward silence)

Hanna noticed the crushed look on Spencer and she decided to ask…

Hanna. – "Do… do you've feelings for B-…?"

Spencer didn't want to hear the end of that sentence so she just walked away from the blonde…

Hanna. – "Hey! I'm talking to you…!"

(In the lost woods Resort)

Wren was trying to put a bandage on his abdomen, he got hurt when he struggled with Blair, it was a miracle that he could leave without been noticed…

(Phone ringing)

Wren on the phone. – "Hi, I…" (He got angry) "Don't yell at me! I tried to take him out but this doctor caught me in the act and I couldn't end my task…" (Sighs) "Please, I'm bleeding to death; I need your help…"

The next day…

(In Rosewood hospital)

Alison was trying to keep her eyes open; she and Emily spend all day at the hospital.

Emily kissed Alison's front-head and said. – "I will bring us coffee…"

Alison smiled. – "Thanks love, I will appreciate it…"

The blonde was moving, uncomfortable on the chair of the waiting room and then she decided to stand up as she couldn't find a position to be comfortable.

(Phone ringing)

Alison saw that it was a private number, she hesitated for a moment on taking the call but at the end she did it…

Alison. – "Who the hell is this?!"

Noel. – "Wow… someone is in really bad mood…"

Alison questioned. – "Noel? Noel… is this really you…?!"

Noel chuckled. – "Yeah… I received your e-mail…"

Alison. – "I wasn't sure how to contact you… it was like you just vanished from earth… thanks God that I remembered some of your pseudonym accounts… "

Noel. – "So… is it true? Is there a new A in town?"

Alison sighed. – "Yeah… like I said on my e-mail, I'm sorry but I spilt out that you killed Cece; I was under drugs when they forced me to say your name, I thought that you should know, in order to be careful…"

Noel. – "You said that the pseudo doctor is dead…."

Alison. – "Yeah, he's but I don't know if someone else knows about the truth… of you being Cece's killer neither if they're planning something against you…" (Sighs) "I just wanted to warn you… after all, I still consider you as my friend…"

Noel chuckled with sadness. – "Friends…"

Alison smirked. – "Is there something wrong with being 'friends' with me?"

(Awkward silence)

Alison. – "Noel, are you still there…?"

Noel sighed. – "Yeah… I'm here…"

(Awkward silence)

Alison. – "Noel, why did you call? You didn't need to…"

Noel interrupted her and said from the heart. – "I wanted to hear your voice and check if you were ok… are you ok?"

Alison. – "Well, that depends on your definition of 'ok'; I mean if being 'Ok' is being tortured, buried alive and that almost got killed again, well then I'm your girl…"

Noel chuckled. – "Well, at least you still have your same sense of humor…"

Alison chuckled. – "I will take that as a compliment…"

(Chuckles)

Noel. – "I'm coming to Rosewood…"

Alison. – "No, it's dangerous… I didn't reach you for that…"

Noel. – "I know… but you just said… we're 'friends' and as a friend, I'm coming and help you with this new A…"

Alison chuckled. – "Thanks…"

Noel. – "See you soon Ali… and Ali…"

Alison. – "Yeah…?"

Noel. – "Stay alive until I arrive okay…?"

Alison chuckled. – "I will do my best…"

Noel smiled. – "See you soon…."

Alison. – "See you soon… be careful…"

Noel. – "You too…"

Some doctors were approaching and the blonde ended the call. It was in the moment that Alison was walking with the doctors in direction of the ICU when someone stopped her, grabbing her arm…

Alison raised an eye brow. – "Wha-…?"

Spencer. – "Ali… I'm sorry for my behavior of last night; I lashed back at you without a reason… I was just too upset…" (Sighs) "I'm sorry…"

Alison nodded; she accepted Spencer's apologies as she saw the sincerity on her eyes…

Doctor. – "Miss DiLaurentis, if you wanna visit Dr. Sloan…"

Spencer. – "Can I…" (Deep breath) "Can be me the one who see her first?"

(Spencer's narrative) Face your fears and you can discover the true depth of your heart. Or what you're capable of withstanding. The problem is, the more you expose your heart; the more you stand to break it…

(In the ICU)

*** Music background: Hurts so good by Astrid S ***

Spencer slowly approached to an unconscious girl; Blair was breathing thanks to the help of a ventilator; with all kind of plugs on her; Spencer felt crushed by looking at her like that…

Spencer said with tears as she softly put her hand over Blair's hand. – "I'm sorry… you just got hurt because of me…"

Spencer sat beside Blair's bed, not sure of what to say or even if that matter, since the other girl was unconscious.

Spencer. – "You know, in the 8th grade, my English class had to read Romeo & Juliet…" (She chuckled) "You know, the paper that I did for that book, it was my 1st 'C'…" (Chuckles) "The professor gave me a 'C' because I called 'Juliet' an idiot…" (Chuckles) "But serious, for starters, she falls for the one guy she knows she can't have; then she blames fate for her bad decision… so yeah, I still believe that she's an idiot…"

(Sounds of bip, bip, bip of the machines)

Spencer. – "Maybe Romeo & Juliet were fated to be together but just for a while and their time passed… maybe if they could have known that before hand; maybe it all could have ended okay…."

Spencer stood up from the chair, she leant forward Blair and she continued talking as she was caressing Blair's hair…

Spencer. – "In 8th grade, I told to my English teacher that when I was grown up, that I would take fate into my own hands; I wouldn't let fate drag me down and you know what he told me? He told me that 'I would be lucky if I ever had that passion with someone and if I did, we would be together forever'…" (Deep breath) "I don't know why I'm recalling his words now; I believe, for the most part, love is about choices… as life…. It's about putting down the poison and the dagger and making your own happy ending…" (She leant her front-head against Blair's front) "So, choose life… choose to keep breathing and stay in this earth with us… with me…" (A tear fell from Spencer's eyes as she softly kissed the corner of Blair's lips) "Please don't die…"

It looks like someone chose to face her fears, her feelings but sometimes despite all your best choices, all your good intentions, fate wins anyway…

Spencer was rubbing her nose on Blair's cheek when the other brunette slowly opened her eyes.

Spencer smiled. – "Blair?! Blair, can you heard me?!"

Blair stared at Spencer and even with the tubs on her mouth, Spencer noticed that the brunette smiled at her. Spencer was planning to say something else but she didn't as she felt her heart crashes on a deep gulf when she saw Blair closing her eyes and she heard the sound of a flat line on the monitors.

Spencer shook Blair's face, trying to force the girl to open her eyes…

Spencer said with heart-wrenching voice. – "NO! NOOO! Open your eyes! Don't die! Don't die!"

The doctors got in and they took out Spencer. The brunette was pale, with tears falling from her eyes, she was like a statue, frozen, unable to move as she was recalling on her mind over and over the sound of the flat line…

Alison approached. – "Spence… what happened?" (Without a reply, she shook Spencer from the shoulders and requested an answer) "Spence! Say something!"

(Phone ringing)

It was Spencer's phone, it was a text…

AD text: "Can we dare believe? A Hastings having feelings for a girl? Even I have to admit, it's a novel idea. In literature, there are thousands of ending, some happy… some sad… some end with a twist… sadly looks like your dear Juliet has been just stabbed and dragged to the other world… Do you want revenge? Lost Woods Resort is the place to check…"

Spencer read the text and her crushed empty look, became dark… dark of anger…

Alison said with concern. – "Spence….?"

The brunette didn't reply, she just ran away from the hospital. Alison followed her…

Alison yelled. – "Spencer! Talk to me!"

In life, it's not what you say that determines who you're, it's what you do. There are fine, fine lines on life and sometimes all it takes to cross those lines is a little push…

(In the Lost Woods Resort)

Hanna. – "Ok, so what is the plan, here?"

Aria. – "I think that we should call the cops…"

Alison. – "And we said what to them? Hey, Wren has been tormenting us for the last months and he almost kidnapped my boys, Toby and hurt Blair to death?! We don't have proofs!"

Emily. – "Calm down Ali… but you're right, we need proofs; I think that we should get in his room, look for evidence that he's AD and then let the cops deal with it…"

Hanna. – "Why he would be AD, it doesn't make any sense?!"

Spencer. – "He was deeply in love with Melissa, if someone would look for revenge of her death, it would definitely be him…"

The girls stood quietly for the rest of the journey. They arrived to the lost woods resort; Alison and Hanna distracted the guy that was attending the resort, pretending to be dumb blondes that got lost on the road. Emily looked jealous when she saw Alison was flirting with that guy….

Aria playfully hit Emily's arm. – "Em… it's just an act… let's not waste any time…"

Emily sighed deeply and followed the other two girls. Spencer was turning the pages of the register of the hosts and then she said when she recognized the writing…

Spencer. – "I have it! Room 26…"

Emily. – "Are you sure?"

Spencer. – "Yeah, I know Wren's calligraphy… it's him…"

Aria. – "Ok, let's go… put the book on its place as it was, I'm texting Ali, to stop the act…"

Emily said with jealousy. – "Yeah, please, it's disgusting to see her so sweet with that guy…"

Aria chuckled looking at the jealousy on Emily and the three girls walked towards the room 26.

(Inside room 26)

Hanna. – "Nice tricks Spence… I didn't know that you had it on you…"

Emily. – "Where did you learn to open doors like that?"

Spencer didn't reply, she was with her head on other place. The girls noticed the look of Spencer and they decided to don't push and they just looked around in silence…

Alison said as she opened the door of the bathroom. – "Look, there's a lot of bandage with blood, I think that he's badly hurt…"

Spencer said with a bitter voice. – "Good…"

Aria gulped, looking at the lethal look of Spencer. – "Ok, did anyone find something?"

Hanna said as she was looking at the garbage. – "Besides the fact that he ate a lot of hamburgers… nop…"

The girls were looking around when someone appeared on the frame door of the room…

Wren. – "Wha-…?!"

Spencer snapped with anger against him as she pointing out at him. – "You! You will pay for what you've done!"

Wren threw the bag of medication that he had on his hand and started to run away; the girls chased him.

(Emily's narrative) Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the damn burst, all you can do is swim it. And you often find, what you least expect is right in front of you. Waiting to change everything forever. Whether you want to or not…

(Inside Spencer's car)

Emily said as she was looking at her phone. – "I don't have sign…"

Hanna. – "I can't believe that we lost him!"

Aria. – "I don't think that we lost him… I saw him running in this direction; let's continue in this direction…"

Alison. – "We should have chased him on foot…"

Hanna. – "I can't run with these heels!"

Aria. – "Serious Hann, who bring heels in the search for a psycho…?!"

Hann rolled her eyes.

Spencer scolded as she was driving. – "Could you just shut up!" (Sighs) "The road is with a lot of fog, don't distract me!"

The girls were arguing inside the car when suddenly someone crossed the road…

Emily screamed. – "Spence! Watch up!"

Spencer hesitated for a second on stopping the car but in the end she did it but it was too late…

(Sounds of glass broken; all screaming)

Emily was co-pilot with Spencer on the wheel and she showed a shocker face as she noticed the person who just went through the window frame of the car…

Emily. – "OMG!"

Alison. – "Is he… is he…."

Aria. – "He's dead…"

Hanna. – "Fuck!"

(In an apartment in Philly)

A hoodie. – "I can't believe that you give them Wren, just like that… I thought that you cared for him…"

AD. – "He had feelings for me and I used those feeling on my advantage… he served for his purpose… he will understand…"

A hoodie. – "Don't you think that he will talk…?"

AD said with a devious grin. – "I don't think so…" (Devious smirk)

AD looked at its phone, it was a live video; AD put one of its hoodies to keep an eye on Wren and for AD surprise, they caught the liars on the act.

AD smirked. – "I caught you… oh my… you're just digging your own grave…"

(In the middle of the dark forest of Rosewood, at night)

*** Music background: Deep end by Ruelle ***

Most people find it too hard to face their crimes and find it easier to pretend nothing ever happened because the most difficult part can be admitting there was a sin to begin with…

(The girls digging)

Aria said between sobs. - "I can't believe that we're doing this..."

Emily. - "I'm not sure if I can live with this..."

Spencer huffed. - "Stop! Ok! Just stop waning!" (Sigh) "Keep digging... we need to bury the body before the Sun comes out..."

Hanna. - "Are we sure that this is the best option?! I mean..." (Gulps) "There must be another way to deal with this..."

Spencer. - "There is no other way Hanna! It was a well thought-out plan and when it ends up like this it's called first-degree murder!"

Alison patted Hanna's arm and said. - "She's right Hann come on..."

(The girls continued digging)

The world of pretend is a cage not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long; sins, they always come back, no matter how hard you try to hide them. Denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner, we have to put aside our denial and face the world head on, guns blazing. So careful girls; one false step could spell disaster and it looks like this one, it just got everything to be real… wondering, how you will keep from drowning?

Next: Chapter 64 – Got to be real
