Hey guys! So, here is chapter 3! Thankyou for all your reviews, I really appreciate it. I hope you have enjoyed the first 2 chapters! Again, please read and review! And sorry if this just becomes random babble at times! So, yeah! Read, review and most of all, ENJOY! :D

I want to give a special thanks to Mlollylucy for writing Aria's first POV. She is amazing and I don't think I could have finished this without her amazing Ezria mind! ILoveYou 3

Recap:

"Aria and Hanna!" I suddenly remembered that they had stormed out, Hanna going after Aria. I ran back to where I left Emily. She was on the couch with her eyes closed.

"Emily?" I called out her name, hoping she was only asleep.

"Hmm?" her eyes fluttered open and she sat up.

"Sorry to wake you, but, do you know where Mr Fitz's apartment is?" I asked her.

"Um, no, why?" she asked.

"Because, we need to go and warn them about… about A," I told her. Her eyes widened. She sat there for a moment and then suddenly, there was a big smash outside the back door. I ran to the door and opened it. There was nothing there though.

"Spencer!" Emily and Toby both shouted together.

End of recap:

I swung around to see Toby and Emily staring at something.

"What is it?" I asked. They both turned to look at me, and Emily mouthed something that looked like A. I felt my eyes widen as she pointed towards the wall.

Aria POV:

I left Spencer's house in tears. I can't believe she said that! Yes, we were fighting but we will make up. She knew how I felt about that sort of thing. If I couldn't trust my best friend with this secret then how could I trust everyone else with it? And that was just it, I couldn't now and I never will be able to.

I ran all the way to Ezra's apartment in the rain. I tripped, I fell and on the last corner a car ran through a puddle and splashed me. A new wave of hot tears ran down my pale cheeks. It felt like my life… I was stumbling through life taking every curved ball; falling over and walking into every trap the universe could throw at me!

I ran up the stairs until I reached apartment 3b. I stood there for a moment considering what I was about to say, still choking on my tears. I tried to collect myself before I knocked on the door, but it flew open to reveal Ezra. He saw me crying and heard the coughing. He reached over to pull me into an embrace. I let him help me up before I pulled away which earned a funny look from him.

"Aria? Are you okay?" he asked sounding worried. He once again reached for me, but I moved away again. I looked up at him, wishing what I was about to say wasn't true, that I was dreaming. I didn't want it to happen like this. I had to though, for my own good. It had to stop.

"It's over. We can't keep going like this… I'm sorry," I mumbled before running for the stairs again.

Spencer POV:

My eyes lifted to where Emily was pointing. There was something written on the wall. It had been written in red. I felt my stomach drop, scared as to what I would find written on the wall. I moved forward so I could see it clearly. It read:

Now look what you've done! You made her do it…

A

I felt my heart start to race. A was in here, in this very house, writing on my walls! I inched closer, it was written in red… lipstick! Again! Like the mirror! Was A trying to send us a message? I looked over to Emily who was white with fear and shaking. She must have sensed me looking at her because her head turned to me.

"Wha…What is…is this?" she stammered, her lips shaking with the rest of her body.

"I, I don't know. I am simply dumbstruck!" I exclaimed. I myself was shaking was like a leaf.

"Toby?" I looked over to him, but he looked at me and shook his head.

"There are simply no words for this" he said in a whisper.

"What am I supposed to do? My parents are gone for… for a few more days but Melissa is here with Josh, doing god knows what in the barn. I don't want anyone else to see this! We have to get rid of it. But… but take a picture first! So we have proof!" I nodded to myself. It was a good idea. When the two of them didn't move, I whipped out my camera phone and took a snap of the writing.

"Right. Now, how do we get it off the wall? Any ideas?" I took another look at the writing.

"Well, if it's lipstick, we should be able to just wipe it off. We will need, water and sponges" Toby spoke up finally. I nodded and raced to the kitchen to grab some sponges and a bowl of water. I handed the sponges out to the other two and put the bowl on the coffee table. I dipped mine in water and started scrubbing at the lipstick. It was coming off, but it was smudging a lot and dripping down the wall, like blood. I saw Toby and Emily scrubbing away beside me, still scared stiff. I concentrated more on scrubbing. But as I did, I heard footsteps coming from the patio. I stopped, mid scrub and looked at the two beside me. They both shrugged their shoulders and kept scrubbing, this time even harder. I scrubbed double time as well and we only just managed to get rid of it before Melissa and Josh waltzed in, hand in hand.

"Spencer. Spencer's freaky friends" Melissa nodded to us and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of champagne and a couple of glasses. She got what she needed and waltzed back out to the patio to drink with Josh. I sighed and Toby came over to me.

"Spence, is everything okay?" he asked me. I had no idea that I was shaking until he put his arms around me and I calmed down. I felt so safe in his strong, safe arms.

"Everything… Everything is fine. It's fine," I stammered. I had had a rough day. After all, my best friend had stormed out on me and my boyfriend had been accused of being A. Lastly, Emily was choosing a side and that didn't need to happen. The world was turning and it was turning on me. I just wanted to race up the stairs and crawl into my bed and stay there forever. I was done with the world and I was done with all these dramas that A was creating.

"I… I think I need to… to go to bed… Yes, bed" I nodded to myself and pried myself out of Toby's arms. I raced up the stairs and slammed my bedroom door behind me. I got into my pyjamas and curled up in a ball on top of my bed. I let the tears streak down my face and my make-up run. I didn't care anymore. It was over.

Aria POV:

I rushed back down the stairs and out of Ezra's building. Out into the cold rain. I felt it dripping down my cheeks and my eyelashes and I just wanted to get home. But I couldn't. I couldn't go home. Ella and Byron were fighting again and I didn't want to be there. I had nowhere to go. I was alone, cold and wet. Alone. There was one place I could go. A place where I would be accepted and welcomed with open arms. A place I could call my temporary home. Jason's house. I ran all the way there, tripping in my heels and splashing in puddles. My clothes were absolutely soaked and my hair was wet, limp and falling in front of my eyes. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I stopped running and took it out.

1 new message

The number was blocked but I still clicked open, curious to read what the message contained.

Don't worry Aria; I will make her pay for what she's done. That was just un-called for. Even for me! I WILL do something about Spencer, don't you worry. Just go somewhere where you can get dry clothes and sleep for the night

A

Did A actually care about me? Or was this one of her tricks? How could I know? Should I trust A or not? I put my phone away and kept running straight to Jason's house. Once I arrived, I knocked on the door and I heard footsteps and the door swung open to reveal Jason

"Aria! What are you doing here? Come in, your so wet!" Jason stepped aside so I could get in. I walked in cautiously and stood in the hallway. I looked around me and I was suddenly having flashbacks of when we were over at Ali's place.

Flashback

"Hey Ali!" I called as I raced up the driveway of her house. She swung around, her blonde hair blowing in the breeze and her blue eyes shining in the sun.

"Aria! Hi!" she waved as I came up the driveway with my bag packed and ready for the sleepover. She gave me a quick hug and led me inside. It was the first sleepover I had at Ali's place and the girls and I were really excited!

As I went inside, I saw Spencer already sitting on the couch with a bowl of popcorn and can of diet Pepsi in her hand. She was focused intently on something on the T.V but when she heard us come in, she jumped up, spilling Pepsi all over her shit.

"Hey!" she exclaimed. She went red as she realised that she had spilled her Pepsi on her shirt. Ali laughed and turned to me.

"So Aria, you can put your bag in my room. Follow me" she flipped her hair and went up the stairs to her room that was directly opposite Spencer's bedroom window.

I went in her room and stopped dead in the doorway. Her room was AH-MA-ZING! There was a big double bed in middle of the room with pink fuzzy pillows and a purple doona. There was a desk to one side and the biggest walk-in wardrobe I had ever seen! I dumped my bag next to Spencer's and went back downstairs to help her clean her shirt

End Flashback

"Why are you here Aria? Here, come sit down and have come coffee" Jason led me over to his couch and I sat down as he went to pour me some coffee.

Spencer POV:

I woke up, startled by my bedroom door opening. Toby walked in and sat on the bed next to me.

"Spence. What happened to you?" he lifted me up and pulled me into his lap.

"I've told you already Toby, I…I just can't do this anymore. I hate lying to the people I love most like my family and I just want this all to be over!" I sobbed.

He cuddled me tightly and I drifted off to sleep again.

So that was it! Sorry it took soooo long to write. It's just that I was away sick and I didn't have time to write being the last few weeks of term and all. Also, I had no inspiration! So if you could help me out and tell me what you think should be in the next chapter? I'm not really happy with my chapters so far because they sound like a load of babble and me going on and on about the same thing. So if there is anything you think I should change, please tell me!

Read and review! :D Thanks guys!
