I just wanted to say thanks for the reviews that this story has gotten so far. I did try to find out the girl's ages, but abc family doesn't want anybody to know apparently. I will try to update regularly but can't guarantee anything. And as usual, I absolutely positively don't own anything.
Side notes:
"talking on phone"
Thinking
'talking to self'
That night, Aria couldn't sleep. Every time she tried to close her eyes, she would see Ezra's face and be reminded of that night that they spent together. "I should've known what would happen. I should've told him that I wanted to wait." she told herself. Finally deciding on giving up sleep, she got up and walked over to her window looking out into her back yard.
I wonder what Erza's doing right now? thought Aria, I'm starting to act like a fan girl for him. As she was gazing out, her hand slid unconsciously to her stomach and started to rub it softly. She then started thinking about the baby that was growing inside her and how she should tell her parents and her friends. But more importantly, she was trying to find a way of telling him without getting him thrown in jail or making him lose his job. But then, I would have to come clean to mom and dad about us. I can't do that because then they will have him arrested and make me get an abortion which I absolutely won't do.
Aria thought. She continued looking out until her phone started ringing like crazy. "Who would be calling this late?" she wondered.
"Hello?"
"Aria?"
"Yeah Spencer? What's wrong?"
"Somebody broke into my house."
"Oh my! Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, but can you come over? The others are on their way now."
"Sure, let me get dressed and i'll be right ove."
"Thanks Aria. I'll see you in a few."
"No problem. See you."
Who would want to break into Spencer's house? Aria thought as she got ready to go to Spencer's, Not unless they were after Ali's bracelet. But even then, why would they want it? Unless it's A wanting to get it.
After Aria finished getting ready to head to Spencer's, she heard some one going downstairs. 'Must be dad going to sleep on the couch again. I hope that mom will let him sleep in her room again soon.' She told herself. Aria shut the door to her room and headed downstairs to see that it was her dad going to go sleep on the couch. "Hey dad?" Aria asked.
"Yes honey? Where are you going?" asked Bryon, Aria's father.
"Well, I was wondering if you could drive me over to Spencer's house. She just called me asking if i could come spend the night with her so she's not feeling alone while her parents are gone. Emily and Hanna are going to be there too." She told her father half truthfully. She left out the part about the break in because she didn't want her father to call the police. "Sure honey. Let me the keys and can you go tell your mom that you're going to Spencer's?" her dad asked.
"Sure dad." Aria answered. She went and told her mom that she was going to Spencer's and that she'll see her tomorrow after school. As she was walking back downstairs, she got a text from Emily asking if she was going to Spencer's also. Aria replied that she was and that she was on her way now.
After her dad dropped her off, she could see Emily and Hanna walking up to her as how they both didn't live that far from Spencer's house.
"Hey guys. Did Spencer sound shaken up to you when she called?" asked Hanna.
"Yeah, I was up reading when she called. She said that some one broke into her house." Emily said, "What about you Aria?"
"I couldn't sleep. She sounded worried to me." She told her two friends. She couldn't tell them that she was thinking about her future and how it got messed up by a mistake. Just then, Spencer came out. She looked really worried and scared to the other three. "Thank God that you guys made it. Someone broke in. Whoever it was took Ali's bracelet." Spencer said.
"But why would they want that? Unless it was A. But even then, she would have to know where you emergency key is hidden." Hanna said.
"The only people who knows where it's hidden is you, your family, us and Ali." Emily said.
"Aria, what do you think of this?" Spencer asked. Aria was spaced out during the conversation. When she heard them mention A, her mind flashed back to the text message that A sent her earlier that day. "Hello, earth to Aria. Are you okay?" asked Hanna.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Lets get inside. It's kinda cold out here." Aria said. They went inside and up to Spencer's room. When they got there, they saw a message written in lipstick on Spencer's mirror said "It won't be that easy bitches."-A. "Oh my God. A was in your room Spencer. You didn't notice the message on your mirror?" Aria asked.
"No, i too busy worrying about where Ali's bracelet went. When I heard you three talking outside, i passed by it and never looked at it." Spencer answered.
"Well, I'm getting kinda creeped out by this, so how about we go back downstairs and figure this out alittle bit more." Emily said. Truth was, all three of them were starting to get sleepy and it was showing.
"Why don't we wait till tomorrow morning Emily. I'm tired and we have school tomorrow." Aria said. She was feeling sleepy and just wanted to lay down and not think about tonight. The others picked up on this and agreed. Plus, Spencer had agreed to go in early and talk to her teacher about her essay that would be sent off to the competition. "Let's get the blankets and pillows and we can sleep on the couches downstairs so we're not in here with the creepy message." Aria suggested.
"Good plan Aria. Besides, I need to figure out a way to talk to Sean about the whole car incident." Hanna said. They went downstairs and got the blankets and pillows and got set up in Spencer's living room with Spencer being on the couch, Hanna having the loveseat, Emily one of the two recliners and Aria in the other recliner. "Hey Aria, are you okay?" Emily whispered.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" she whispered back.
"Just curious I guess. Well, good night." Emily said.
"Night Em." Aria whispered. She's onto me. I must've looked worried about what's going to happen. This entire night has been crazy. But I still need to tell them before A decides too. Just then, her phone vibrated in the pocket of her pj bottoms. Think of the devil and she shall apper.
Rock-a-bye, Aria
In the treetop
When the wind blows
The cradle will rock
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
And down will come secrets
Cradle and all.
-A.
There's chapter two. And thanks to everyone for the great reviews on this so far. This is longer than the first chapter, but hopefully this one is as good as the first. And as usual, I don't own anything.
