Little White Lies
The Bitch is Back
The four girls decided to go to the library were they would have a little more privacy. They sat in a corner table, near a section nobody seemed to go to.
"So we all got these texts, right? From A?" Spencer started. The girls all nodded their heads. "I don't know about the rest of you, but mine was about something only Alison could have known about. It was...personal."
"Mine too." Emily joined in.
"Mine wasn't though, I mean it was personal but Alison couldn't have known about it." Aria stated, hoping they wouldn't ask about her and Ezra. She was afraid of what they would say if they found about her and the hot new English teacher.
"Right, mine was something Ali knew but than again something she couldn't have known." Emily pointed out.
"Wait does this mean, what I think it means?" Hanna asked, looking a bit worried. "Do you think Alison could be back?"
"If she's back, than how come known one has seen her?" Spencer added. "I don't know, maybe she is back, but someone would have seen her right? I mean it's a small town, people would notice a missing person suddenly walking around the place."
"Ali was always good at hiding." Aria said. "Remember when we played hide and seek at her house? She was hiding in the secret door in her room for an hour!"
"So, what do we do? Should we go to the police? Tell them we think Ali is back in town?" Spencer asked her friends.
"But then we would have to tell them why we think that, and show them the texts. I can't show them mine." Hanna said. "Anyone else wanna volunteer?" No one said anything. They had no proof their friend was back, expect for the texts and if those got out they would all be in trouble.
"So, we keep quiet? For now at least?" Spencer said. They all agreed. No one would say anything about Ali until there was solid proof that Ali was back in town. "Good, so we go back to normal" A few seconds later all their cell phones started to go off. They looked at each other a little frightened, but reluctantly took their phones out to see the new message:
U might b able 2 keep quiet, but Im an open book! Lets see how much you want to keep the Jenna thing a secret! Cya soon! -A
They all looked around, till Spencer spotted Jenna Cavanaugh sitting down reading a book. Well, feeling a book anyways. They all looked a little panicked. They all hoped this day would never come, but unfortunately not all dreams come true.
"When the hell did Jenna get here?" Spencer had a bit of worry in her voice.
"Today, it was her first day too. I had her as a partner in History." Hanna told them.
"Did she tell you she knew about what really happened?" Aria asked.
"No, she implied it though. Jenna said that she has a good memory, and remembers everything."
"There's no way she could know we started that fire, right?" Emily was worried about what was going to happen to them. What would her parents say? What would happen to her?
"The fire Ali started. And no, there's no way. Besides her brother took the heat, remember?" Spencer was reminding them of the night the fire broke out at the Marshal's house.
It was Ali's idea to throw a lit fire cracker in the house to scare Jenna, the only thing was she threw it too hard and into Mr. Marshal's liquor cabinet. The fire spread quickly. The girls don't know what went on inside, because they ran off when Ali told them to run back to Spencer's house. Within five minutes of getting there sirens could be heard all over. The girls couldn't help but look out the window and watch. "Come on, let's go see what they're saying." Alison commanded.
"We just ran away from there! Why go back!" Spencer proclaimed.
"We don't want to look like suspects, do we? Now we're going out there, and putting on our surprised faces got it? And I'm looking at you Hefty-Hanna, don't blow this!" The girl's played follow the leader out to the street were everyone was watching the house burn and firemen trying to stop it. Paramedics had Jenna on a stretcher, screaming her head off.
"I can't see! My eyes burn, I can't see! Daddy! Where's my daddy!" She cried out. The girls all looked scared then, Aria grabbed Spencer's arm and started crying. The paramedics wheeled out a body bag. Jenna was headed to the hospital and Mrs. Marshal had been out of town.
"Oh my god you guys, did we?" Hanna cried.
"Shut up, just shut your fat mouth Hanna. I'll take care of this." Alison walked over to Toby Cavanaugh who was sort of hiding behind a tree. Her friend's didn't know what they had talked about, but when Ali came back, Toby walked over to the police, talked for a second and was put in handcuffs.
"Let's meet back here at the end of the day, we'll walk home together." Spencer said. They all agreed and left for their next class.
**Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this! I'm sorry that it's a little long but it's the only way I could explain a few things. And yes I know that Toby and Jenna are now related. Why would Mrs. Marshall marry the father of the boy who got late husband killed? That will be explained later, I promise. There is so much more coming up, and chapter 15 will be the last chapter of this book, but I promise it will end with a big cliffhanger. Stay tuned!**
