Flashback

Three months earlier.

"I just don't get why you did it, Spencer?" Toby said as I drove trying to concentrate since it was storming and dark. "I didn't, if it were up to me I wouldn't have brought her back. Rosewood is her home and her mother was just murdered, Toby. She needed to be here despite how many people wanted her to stay gone." "NO! She didn't she died. I just don't understand why she couldn't just stay dead." Toby yelled making me jump. "She didn't though." "Didn't what Spence? Die." "Yes, she is still alive and as much as that scares me. I just don't know what we can do about it." I yelled back. "It scares you? You were at least her friend, Spencer. She still needs you. What do you think she is going to do to me? Or Jenna? Or Us?" I turned to look at him. "Us? What is going on?" I asked noting the pain is his blue eyes. "What did she do? Did she threaten you?" I questioned feeling the rage take a hold on my emotions." Nothing forget it." He muttered.

I turned my head away and continued to drive toward the Lake house. "You should slow down, Spencer." He warned "You know this road is dangerous even in the best conditions." "Don't tell me what to do." I shouted pressing the accelerator even harder. "Tell me what she said to you." I growled. "Fine. If it means you will slow down." He replied" She said that she was going to make sure that you saw me for who I really am. That you were never going to look me the same way again." I looked back at him "What would make her say that?" "I did some- SPERNCER WATCH OUT." He yelled. I turned seeing someone on the road slamming on the brakes. It was too late I hit them at full speed sending their body twenty feet in the air. "OH MY GOD." I cried as the car skidded to a halt. "Spencer, you just-""IKNOW, IKNOW" I screamed running my hands through my hair.

Toby jumped out of the car and ran over to the figure lying in the middle of the road. I got out of the car and walked toward the person. "I, I think you killed her." He whispered turning pale with a fearful expression. "Call, 911." He ordered I shook my head "No, Toby. We have been drinking." I ran back to the car nearly hyperventilating. He followed me back to the car. "Spencer, we can't do what you are saying to do that it's not right." "I know but I can't afford to have anything else on my record. And neither can you." He sighed pulling me in for a hug." That doesn't make this right." I bit my lip "I know but what choice do we have." "Fine but give me your keys I am driving." I nodded handing him my keys and got in the car.

The drive to the lake house was tense and quiet. I just had no idea what we were going to do. As we pulled into the driveway my phone chimed

What will everyone say when they find out you two really are killers-A

There were several pictures of Toby and I leaving the scene attached.

"No, Oh no, no, no." I said panicking and showing Toby the message. "How did they even know?" he whispered. I shrugged "A is everywhere." "Spencer I think we should go back and call the cops." "That won't change anything." I muttered. "So then what's the plan Spencer?" He raised his voice making me flinch. "You always have a plan." I turned to look at him. I sighed unbuckling my seatbelt and faced him. "Do you remember when you told me that if I ever had the urge to runaway to tell you?" He frowned "Yes." I drew in a deep breath "I think it's time to run now."

I sighed remembering that horrible night like it happened yesterday as I turned down the winding road toward the Lake house. Toby and I had been through so much, So many accidents and fights, even when everything seemed bleak I knew I could count on him. I used to feel that way about my friends and my parents but not anymore. I scoffed thinking about how Toby tried to stop me from coming back. I should have listened to him. He sometimes seems to know me better than I know myself.

I had convinced my mom to let me borrow a car and let me stay at the lake house. I knew I had worn out my welcome in their house, well in their life actually. I guess everyone really did get over me, no one looked for me and no one investigated. Alison at least had us to help her I had no one here. I drew in a shaky breath trying to keep the dam closed fearful that if I started to let the tears flow that I would never stop. My life had turned upside down and I didn't know how to fix it anymore.

As I dove over the bridge I noticed flashing lights and a blockade. I parked the car and got out "What is going on I asked one of the uniformed police officers. "Nothing ma'am go back to your car wait for us to clear this it won't be much longer." I shook my head "This isn't construction is it?" I asked looking over his shoulder noticing the coroners van. "Wait you found a body?" I queried wondering who it could be. "A missing person, yes. Took three months." I swallowed bile realizing what they had just found. As I ran back to my car I noticed that Toby had just pulled up. Losing my nerve as I ran into his arms. "I think they found the body." I gasped as he pulled me around the car hiding me from view. "What do you mean? Didn't they find her the next day? "he whispered. I shrugged "I don't know. I guess not." "Well come on let's go the long way around the lake." I nodded returning to my car and followed Toby.

"What are we going to do now?" I asked Toby sipping on a full caffeinated cup of coffee much to his protests. I had to explain that I had given up many things recently I was not going to keep drinking fake coffee especially since I knew it would be nearly impossible to sleep now. "I don't know they can't know it was us who hit her. I just don't get what happened to her body." I nodded "Me either why would someone dispose of the body?" I asked running my hand through my hair as I looked down. "Unless." He walked over toward me "Unless what?" "Unless it was A." and just on cue my phone chimed. I reached for it my hand shaking opening the message.

Bingo! You have always been too smart for your own good. Leave town again and we will see what the police think about an eyewitness stepping forward.- Kisses A

I showed Toby the message shaking my head. He frowned grabbing my hand and leading me toward one of the bedrooms upstairs. I smiled noting he picked my room. He walked over to my ihome turning it on selecting a slow song and playing it loudly. "Dance with me?" I laughed silently as he spun me around, dipping me low with a kiss. We danced together for a while our bodies as close as we could manage. He whispered in my ear" I think A is listening." I nodded closing my eyes inhaling his familiar scent of cologne and Toby. "We need to get that, Bitch." I whispered back as he kissed my neck. "Yeah we do." I moaned he trailed his hands down my body. "We will discuss it further tomorrow." I murmured as he nibbled my ear. "I agree let's go to bed." I smirked as he led me to the bed lifting me up by my hips and tossing me down. I squealed and laughed as he crawled up the bed slowly. "Why Mr. Cavanaugh are you seducing me?" I joked crawling away from him in mock innocence. "No," he responded "Mrs. Cavanaugh I think you are already quite seduced." The next thing I knew he pounced on me pressing his body against me as our lips locked in heated desire.

I awoke to a loud knock on the bedroom door. Toby sat up startled "Hide." I hissed throwing my dress on sans underwear as he disappeared into the closet. "Who is it?" I asked as the loud knocking continued hesitating to unlock the door. "It's Aria." I sighed with relief throwing the door open. "Hey." She smiled weakly. "I think we need to talk." I nodded "Yeah, sure come in." she stepped through the door and walked over to bed hesitating when she spied my bra and Toby's boxers. "You can come out now, Toby." She said staring toward the closet. My eyes went wide "um hold on." I grabbed his clothing from the floor and handed it to him careful not to open it to wide. "Okay, Ew." Aria said wrinkling her nose.

"Sorry." I smiled weakly. "Um let's go down stairs." She nodded following me out the door. We headed to the kitchen "Coffee?" I asked pouring water into the pot. She raised an eyebrow "I thought you were on decaf now." I shrugged "I was but what is the point. Caffeine this early in the morning is necessary." I replied turning the coffee maker on.

"So why did you come all the way out here?" I asked grabbing coffee mugs from the cupboard. She managed a weak half smile. "I am still mad at you." I looked down at the floor "I understand." When I looked up after a few moments later I noticed she was tearing up. "No I don't think you do, Spencer. We were so worried. I would flinch every time my phone rang or someone knocked on my door. Hoping I wasn't going to hear they found your body this time." "I'm so sorry." I cried moving closer to her." No, that doesn't make it okay. When I found out that you were with Toby I was furious and then you made up a fake kidnapping so we wouldn't be mad. So you didn't have to deal with the repercussions of not bothering to check in. What happened to you Spencer? You are acting like-" She paused

"Just say it." I whispered "Like Alison." She said staring me down. "Why did you come here Aria. I already know I was wrong." "That's just it. I don't think you do. I get that you were scared but why lie? Why treat us the same way she did? You are so much better than that." I closed my eyes trying to clear my head. When I opened them again she was staring at me with the most pained expression I had seen from her in a long time. "I did something really bad Aria. I mean really, really bad. I didn't know what else to do or where to turn." Her expression changed from hurt to concern. "What happened?" she asked . I turned back around afraid to see her face. "If I tell you this it will change everything and I am not quite sure you want to know." I poured the coffee into the mugs sliding her to her. "I ki-" "SPENCER,NO." Toby shouted bounding down the stairs. "This is a secret she won't understand." I shook my head "No, it's a secret I need to share." He swallowed. "I can't believe you." He whispered grabbing my arm "After all we have done to cover our tracks?" he asked I nodded yes. Toby backed away from me "I can't be here if you do this." he stated starting toward the door. "Will you come back?" I asked knowing the answer. "I don't know." He said walking out the door.

I turned my attention back to Aria as she stared wide eyed. "Look, Spencer. I don't want to come between you guys you don't have to tell me." I blew out a large breath

"I killed someone." I blurted out my confession leaving a haunting echo throughout the house.
