Dear Readers,

I know it took ages for me to write this chapter and I want to apologize for that. I'm really sorry but I am busy with school and studying because of my exams. I hope you can understand me. But I promise I'll write and upload the new chapter, hopefully soon. :)

Love ya guys,

Spencer is sitting on her bed. She is typing on her laptop. Spencer is learning to be a lawyer. She always wanted to be a famous, powerful lawyer and she does everything to make her dream come true. She is doing her paper for her class and she has even higher standards than the teacher does. Spencer wants everything that does to be perfect. Moreover, she does want to be perfect in everything. She didn't even finish school, but already she was working with an honoured lawyer, Nora Vernon. Spencer applied as an assistant for her and after Nora seeing Spencer's results in school, she decided to give her a chance and Spencer's attitude and brain never disappointed her.

Aria is in the other room. She is making dinner for Spencer and herself. She swears if she wouldn't make and serve food to Spencer then she would forget about eating as she is so deeply working on her papers again. Aria is glad that Spencer is so ambitious and hard working. She is especially happy about Spencer's success. Aria loves everything about Spencer. Moreover, she supports her any way possible. However, she feels neglected. They didn't have a proper date for months and Aria misses Spencer. However, it's not a big problem. Hopefully, if Aria brings up this topic they can easily solve it.

˝Hey babe, I brought you dinner. ˝ Aria says as she gets into the room with a tray in her hands.

˝Thanks, honey. Would you put it on the nightstand? ˝ Spencer asks not even looking at Aria.

˝Of course. ˝ Aria says and puts the tray on the nightstand.

She stands in the room and hears Spencer typing. At that moment, she feels so unwanted and neglected by Spencer as if she doesn't want to talk to her anymore.

˝I think I'm going out. ˝ Aria says.

˝Okay. Bye! ˝ Spencer says.

Aria can't believe it, Spencer didn't even kiss her on the lips or on the cheek or said something nice, nor looked at her. Maybe it doesn't seem such a big deal, but it still hurts like hell for Aria.

Aria leaves the house and dials the number of Alison.

˝Hey Aria! ˝ Alison says.

˝Hey Ali! Can I go to your house now? ˝ Aria asks.

˝Of course, you're welcome here anytime. ˝ Alison says.

˝Thank you. ˝ Aria says.

Aria knocked and waited for Alison or Emily to open the door.

˝Hey! ˝ It was Alison who greeted her.

˝Hey! ˝ Aria says.

Alison can't take it anymore and hugs Aria tightly. Maybe they live in the same town, but they barely meet anymore. They missed each other so much.

Alison invites Aria into the apartment.

˝Is Emily here? ˝ Aria asks.

˝She's not. She's staying at her workplace. They're already closed but I bet she is repairing a motorcycle. She really loves it. ˝ Alison says.

˝So you know that feeling too when you get neglected? ˝ Aria asks bitterly.

She can't hide away her pain over Spencer looking completely through over her.

˝I don't feel neglected, Aria. ˝ Alison says knowing something is wrong with Aria. ˝Are you? ˝ Alison asks as she wants to know more about Aria's problems to help her get it solved.

˝I didn't come here to discuss my problems. I came here to talk with you about our lives and happy things. ˝ Aria says.

˝If you say so. ˝ Alison says, but she knows Aria could be deeply hurt, but she won't force her to tell her. ˝Do you want a tea or coffee? ˝ Alison asks.

˝A cup of tea would good. ˝ Aria says.

˝Fine. Come to the kitchen. I make us some tea. ˝ Alison says as she leads the way to the kitchen.

˝The place is nice. ˝ Aria says.

˝Thanks. Emily and I absolutely love this house. ˝ Alison says. ˝What about you and Spencer? Are you still together, right? I hope you are because you make a great couple. ˝ Alison says.

˝Don't worry. We're together. We sold Melissa's house and bought another house. We didn't want to live in that house. Too much pain and bad memories. ˝ Aria says.

˝I totally get you. ˝ Alison says as she trembles when Aria says the name Melissa.

Alison is afraid of Melissa and hopes she never has to see her again.

˝I'm sorry for bringing her up. ˝ Aria says as she sees the trembling Alison.

˝I guess it's okay. I have to get over of my fear of her. I mean she's locked like forever. There's no way she could hurt us. ˝ Alison says. ˝Not like she didn't hurt us enough before she was locked up. ˝ Alison says as tears get into her eyes.

˝We don't have to talk about it. Let's just forget that I even talked about her. I'm sorry ˝ Aria says as she sees the sadness in Alison's eyes.

The room is silent and Aria wants to change the topic very much.

˝How about we go on a double date tomorrow? If it's okay with you and Emily. ˝ Aria suggests.

˝Sounds amazing! I think it's for Spencer and Emily to meet again, after all they used to be the best friends. ˝ Alison says.

Alison and Aria start to plan the double date, meanwhile Emily closes the motorcycle shop. She gets on her motorcycle and rides to the nearest pub. Emily sits down at the bar and orders three shots. She feels every shot burn her throat and makes her forget about her mom's death, which she caused, and she is the one who can be blamed for everything that happened in the past. She orders more to make herself forget about the world.

Although Emily is drunk she gets home safe on her motorcycle. It could be her luck, or her motorcycle skills. When Emily gets home it's very late and there's no lights in the house. It means Alison probably sleeps. Emily doesn't want Alison to smell the alcohol on her so she decides to have a quick shower and just crashes on the couch.

Thanks for reading! :)
