Aria POV
"I'm hungry. Wanna go get some food?" I ask Spencer breaking the silence between the two of us
"Yeah sure. When I was on my over here, Hanna text and said her, Em, and Ali were going to Philly and asked me if I wanted to come and I told her I was coming over here. Hanna's been dying to try some new resturant. Its not too late go."
"Yeah sure. Lets go!"
"I'm texting Hanna to tell her were coming."
In Philly
"Hanna that resturant was horrible. Who told you about that place?" Spencer asks trying to contain her laughter
"You remember that Isabel chick my dad is screwing? Well she has a daughther, Kate, she's about our age and she told me about it. I really should have known better then to trust that skank bitch especially since she's Isabel's daughther." Hanna laughs
"My mom went to visit my dad in Texas. How about we just go back to my place and order some pizzas." Emily suggests
"I can steal a bottle of my dad's Scotch." Hanna says
"Hanna we have still have one more day of finals tomorrow." Spencer reminds her
"Come on Spencer live a little. This is the best time drunk on a school night." I say
"Fine but if I fail this final I'm blaming both of you." She says pointing to me and Hanna
"Me, Aria, and Alison can go get the pizza's while Spencer takes Hanna home to get the Scotch." Emily says
Line Break
"Lets play truth or dare. I'll go first. Aria, truth or dare?" Alison asks
"Dare." I say after taking another shot
"I dare you to kiss one us."
"Easy." I look around the group and decide who to kiss. "Spencer, ever kissed a girl before?" I ask with a devilish grin
"No." She replies nervously
"Well now you can say you have." I say before crashing my lips into her for a short, heated kiss.
"Damn Aria! I didn't think you'd actually do it." Alison says laughing
"You should see some of the dares I've done before. That was nothing." I say with a smirk
"Whats with the look Hanna? Jealous much?" Emily teases her
Hanna grabs me and pulls me in for a kiss. Its was short but passionate.
"Guess she really was jealous!" Alison laughs
Hanna runs off to the bathroom in tears.
"Are you gonna go after her?" Spencer asks
"Yeah I guess I probably should." I say as I slowly stand and go after her "Hanna! Are you ok?" I ask as I knock on the bathroom door
"No I'm not ok Aria now please just go away!" She yells through her tears
"Do you want me to try?" Emily whispers walking up behind me
"I don't care. I have to go. I can't be here." I say running towards the stairs
"Aria your drunk. You can't leave right now." Spencer reminds me
"Fine. I'm sleeping downstairs. She doesn't wanna see me."
"I'll sleep down there with then." Spencer says following me
"No Spencer! The kiss was just a dare, it meant nothing." I yell
"Aria I-"
"Look Spencer I didn't mean to hurt your feeling but its the truth ok. I said I'd stay but I'm sleeping downstairs on the couch. Alone."
"No your not. Its hurts your back when you sleep on the couch. Its nothing you did, you acutally reacted better then I expected I just, I can't believe I actually did that." Hanna says walking into the hallway followed by Emily and Alison
The next day at school
"Aria, Emily, Spencer, Hanna, and Alison. I need to see the 5 of you after class." Mr. Fitz says near the end of class
"You don't think he knows we were-" Hanna is cut off
"Don't worry I'll handle it." I say
"What are you sleeping with him or something because unless you are, he's not gonna give you any special treatment." Spencer says rather loudly
"Spencer!" I whisper shout
"I'm sorry is there something you girls would like to share with the class?" Mr. Fitz asks
"I just have one thing to say. No Spencer I'm not sleeping with him or anyone else for that matter. He just seems really into me thats all but I'm not a slut so I'm not gonna sleep with him." I say
"You five. Hallway. Now." Mr. Fitz says through clentched teeth
"Its not like we were talking about you. Why would we talk about something like that especially during class. What could you possibly punish us for Ezra?" Alison says fighting back
"Did you just call him Ezra?" Hanna laughs
"Yeah so? Its his name. I don't have to call him Mr. Fitz." *bell rings* "Bye Ezra, see ya on Monday."
Line Break
"Ok that was so badass. English today. Maybe Aria's not sleeping with him but I'm not so sure Ali isn't." Hanna jokes
"Hanna you can't make jokes like that. You could get me in a lot of trouble."
"Sorry Ali."
"Can we talk about all the kissing that happend last night? For someone who isn't into girls Aria sure seemed to be last night." Alison teases
"Ok first of all Spencer was just a dare and second of all Hanna kissed me."
"You didn't have to kiss Spencer and you totally kissed Hanna back and don't think we haven't noticed the way you've been looking at the two of them today." Emily points out
"I was drunk ok." Me, Hanna, and Spencer say
"If thats your all going with." Emily says
"Whatever Emily. Finals are over now and I don't wanna be here any longer then I have to so I'm leaving. Anyone wanna come?" I say
"Yeah!" Spencer says
"I'll go too and keep an eye on these two." Ali says
"Me and Hanna still have one more final so we'll see you later. Come on Hanna." Emily says dragging Hanna away

Narrator POV
"What the hell Emily and could you loosen the grip a little!" Hanna shouts
"I'm gonna say a word and your gonna say the first thing that comes to mind. Aria."
"Love." Hanna blurts
"Oh my gosh Hanna your-"
"No Emily I'm not in love with her. She's my best friend and I love her."
"Hanna you kissed her last night and you said the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word 'Aria' is 'love'. Don't tell me your not in love with her."
"I'm in love with Caleb."
"I thought I was in love with Ben but I like girls and only girls so obviously thats not true."
"Well I'm not gay like you are Em. I'm leaving and you better not follow me bcause I have nothing left to say to you."
"Hanna I know its scary but-"
"Its not scary Emily because I'm not gay!" Hanna shouts as she walks away
Line Break
"Come on you two! Just admit that your into each other!" Alison begs
"Fine. I do have a confession. I broke up with Toby because I think I'm gay. I'm not saying I'm into Aria I'm just saying I think I'm gay but I'm still not sure." Spencer admits
"I guess there's a possibility that like girls but thats the best I can give you right now Ali." Aria confesses
Hanna and Emily walk into the room
"Hanna is there something you wanna say?" Emily asks
"*sigh* Fine. When I think about Aria the first thing that comes to my mind is love but thats all I can admit." She says
"What about you Ali?" Spencer asks
"I came out as bisexual already. Now you three need to figure out who you are. We can't do everything for you."
"Alison they need more time. Don't push them." Emily says
"Well they're running out of time. Pretty soon high school will be over and they'll be going their separte ways and by that time it will be too late."
"Look I know the two of you are just trying to help but you're really just making things harder so could you please just stay out of it." Aria begs Emily and Alison
"The school called my parents and told them about the whole scene with Mr. Fitz and they said if I don't come home that they're telling the cops I stole alchool and me and my friends were drinking. I'm legally an adult so they can't force me to stay with them but since I'm not 21 and I was drinking they're doing this to get me back home. I gotta go but don't worry I'll figure some way out of this." Hanna sighs
"I don't think you should go. I know your parents and they're probably just bluffing. You've been arrested so many times before for shoplifting and your mom always is willing to do anything to get you out of it so do you really think she'd actually go through with something like this. I moved out and I'm completely done with my parents. Maybe you all should be too." Emily says
Line Break
"Aria? Where's Spencer?" Hanna asks walking into Aria's bedroom
"Downstairs talking to Emily. Why?"
"I need to say something and you need to listen. You don't have to say anything back just listen. Please. I didn't ask my parents to leave because of the rumors. I could handle some stupid rumors. I asked them if we could leave because part of me wished those rumors were true, that we were really together and that scared the hell out of me. When we came here I met Sean and we dated for a few weeks then I met Caleb and we've dated on and off for the past year and a half. I was always throughing myself at boys because I thought maybe the feelings I had for you would just go away but they never did and they've only gotten stronger since you came here. I love you Aria."
"Hanna I don't know what to say. This is a lot to process."
"I know but I couldn't keep it in any longer. I'm going to bed. Goodnight Aria and I really do love you."
"I love you too Hanna I'm just still not sure if its in that way. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. I think I hear Spencer coming. She doesn't need to know about this conversation yet." Hanna whispers before leaving the room
"Hi." Spencer says ackwardly
"You ok?'' Aria asks
"Yeah me and Emily just had a pretty intense conversation thats all."
"Did you talk about me?"
"We did actually but we talked about all of us."
"What'd you say about me?" Aria asks standing up and walking closer to Spencer
"I said I think I might have feelings for you." She says walking closer to Aria
"Well do you?" Aria asks bring her face closer to Spencer's
"Lets find out." Spencer says before closing the door and connecting her lips with Aria's. The two shared a rather long and heated kiss until they had to pull apart for air.
"Definitley have feelings for you."Spencer says pressing her forehead against Aria's
"Spencer, Aria! We need you down stairs for a minute!" Alison calls up to her friends
The two girls slowly and ackwardly walk down the stairs together to see the parents of all 5 girls waiting downstairs
"I'm not doing this and neither should any of you. I'm going back to my room. They can see themselves out." Spencer says truning around and heading back upstairs. After a few seconds the other girls begin to follow her
"You were making out weren't you?" Alison asks as soon as all five girls are upstairs and away from their parents
"It was just kiss. A pretty long and heated kiss but still just one kiss." Aria admits
"You didn't know how to react to me saying 'I love you' but when Spencer says it you just climb into bed with her. I was wrong when I said I love you. I hate you Aria. I'm going back to live with my parents." Hanna says with tears streaming down her face
"Hanna I'm sorry. Please don't leave. I was just a heat of the moment thing and I didn't 'climb into bed with her' it was just one kiss. I don't know who I have feelings for. I'm trying to figure it out but I just need more time." Aria begs
"Hanna its really hard having feelings for two people at once. Just give her some time because if you really loved her you'd respect that she's not ready to make a decision yet." Emily says
"Well when you were in love with me and Alison at the same time you chose her. Ever since then I was knew I was gay. I can't just wait around to get my heart broken all over again." Hanna says
"Hanna you and I have something Spencer and I don't. History. No one is ever gonna come between what we have. If I lost you it would be the end of the world. I love you Hanna. Its very possible that I love you in that way but I just don't know.
"You have to say you'll choose me or I'm leaving and never coming back." Hanna says trying to hold back her tears
"If you do this without even thinking about it just so you can keep Hanna, who you may not even love in that way, in your life then there's no chance of us. I'm not gonna just wait around for you to realize you don't love her like that because by the time you do it will be too late." Spencer says
"Aria if they're gonna treat you like this then you deserve better. If I were you I'd chose neither of them. You don't do that to someone you're in love with." Emily says
"I need more time to think about this and whoever doesn't like it can go and if you think that one day you can just come back and say you changed your mind think again. If you ever want to be with me then you'll wait until I've made my decision. If its ok with her I'm sleeping in Ali's room tonight." Aria says
"Yeah sure. You can have my room to yourself for as long as you want. I'll stay in your room with Spencer."
"Thanks Ali. I'm going to get a drink. Anybody want anything?"
They all shake their heads no
The next morning
"Morning Aria. I just came to get some clothes. I didn't wake you did I?"
"No I wasn't asleep. You can have your room back tonight I just needed to be away from the both of them last night." Aria says getting out of bed
"Are you sure. You could even move into my room if you wanted or I'm sure Emily wouldn't mind trading roommates if you'd rather share a room with her."
"I'm sure. I was up all night thinking about it. I don't know how I'm supposed to make a decision like this."
"Eventually you'll realize thinking about it will get you no where and you'll learn how to follow your heart but until you get there, its not gonna be easy."
"Aren't you supposed to be bitch? Why are helping me Alison?"
"Despite the way I treat people I do care. I'm actually not heartless or cold-hearted like people always say. I treat my friends worse then anymone but the truth is love you girls and I'd do anything to protect you. I could tell you were really struggling with this and I just wanted to help."
"Thanks Ali. I knew there had to be something there if Emily loves you so much."
"Your welcome. Emily went to The Brew to get us all some coffee. Our parents are all still down there."
"What are we gonna do?"
"We're trying to prove that we're adults so when Emily gets back we're all going down there and handling this like adults would." Spencer says walking into the room
"Do you need something Spencer?" Ali asks
"Yeah I just came to tell you that you have 10 missed calls from Noel."
"Dammit. I forgot we had plans for breakfast. Thanks Spencer."
"Mhm." Spencer says as she begins to walk out the room
"Spencer wait! Ali could you give us a minute?"
"Sure. Should I close the door on my way out?"
"No. I want to talk to her. People still do that Ali."
"Apparently not you two." Alison says as she walks out the room
"What do you want?" Spencer says rather coldly
"Geez what's your problem Spencer?"
"Aria just because this is hard on you doesn't mean it isn't hard on me and Hanna too. I can't just sit down and have a conversation with you when all I wanna do is kiss you. Oh and could you please move out of our room because I can't stand the thought of sharing a room with you every night until I leave for college."
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for putting you through this. I know its hard on everyone but I just wanna make the right decision. I owe each of us that much. If you really want me to move out of our room I will and just so you know, I really liked kissing you and I really wanna do it again."
"Don't say things like that." Spencer says as she walks out the room
"Aria?" Hanna says as she enters the room
"Yeah Han?"
"I think I should kiss you because you and Spencer had a real kiss and you both felt somethig there and I think we should have a real kiss to see if anything is there. I feel really wrong asking you to kiss me because it-" Hanna is cut off by Aria lips. The kiss wasn't as long and heated as the Aria and had with Spencer but it felt just as meaningful
"Well?" Hanna asks nervously
"I guess I'm done thinking about. I need to just follow my heart. Thats the only way I'll ever be able to choose."
"Well if ever need a break from following you heart, you know where Iive." Hanna says with a small smile
Aria knew this would be the hardest decision she'd ever have to make. She knew if she ever screwed it up there was no way of fixing it. She decided to turn to what felt like her only option. Her pills.
Hanna and Spencer both declared their love for Aria and now she has a decision to make. She decided to handle it the only way she she knew how. With her pills. What's gonna happen to Aria and who is she gonna chose. 5 reviews for an update.
