Ashley Marin was sitting in her daughters room, Hanna's room. She was sitting on her bed, flipping threw a photo album, mostly the pictures where just her and Hanna, some of her dad and other family members though and even some of Hanna's friends. She had tears in her eyes, but was trying to hold them back, Hanna wasn't the strongest girl she cried when she hurt and she never seemed to hide her emotions well, so Ashley felt as though she had to be strong for Hanna. Hanna might be gone, but Ashley seemed to have trouble breaking that habit. She stopped as she got to a picture of Hanna when she was twelve, she was chubby and sweet, smiling really big. She wore a pink sun dress and pig tails, she was eating ice cream and looked so happy, Ashley couldn't remember the last time Hanna seemed that happy and care free.
"Oh baby girl" Ashley smiled "I miss you...so much more than you could imagine. You came with a lot of issues, some from your dad some from high school, but you always seemed to have a good outlook for the future. You where the best daughter I could have hoped for, you caused me plenty of trouble in high school but..I don't care." Ashley wiped her eyes "God Hanna why?...Why did you drive drunk? I taught you better, don't you see what you have done, to me...to your friends...to Caleb. I saw them all at the funeral and, well Spencer didn't say a word to anyone she is so sad. Caleb, he seemed empty inside...he seemed so broken. Alison seemed angry, she freaked out when they buried you and she fell on the floor in tears, Jason had to drag her away from you. Aria and Emily both seemed fine, but Emily was obviously hiding her emotions...I'm worried that Aria is to, I can't stand the thought of another one of you girls dying, I hope they are all doing better than they were that day." Ashley could no longer keep the tears inside, she broke into tears, falling over on the bed, unable to control her pain any longer.
Pam Fields sat on her porch. She sipped her coffee, and stared at the sky, thinking to herself that her only baby, Emily was now up there, along with her husband. Pam no longer had anything, her daughter and her husband, both gone leaving her alone in an empty house. She had decided the day after Emily killed herself, that she was going to move. This home, with all the memories of Emily and Wayne made Pam cry herself to sleep every single night. She had only just started packing up, giving certain things to Emily's friends, A journal about everything that happened with A that Emily had hidden all these years went to Aria. A book of pictures and notes that Emily made with Spencer years before for art class went to Spencer. And a box, that Pam didn't open but it had Ali's name on it, went to Ali. Pam had decided to move away, to where her happy ending might be, Hawaii.
Veronica Hastings was a very smart, stubborn, strict woman and mother, she always knew what to do in both her job and her home life, but with all that had happened to Spencer, she no longer knew what to do. Spencer had a painful life, her close friend Alison went missing and then was found dead when she was fifteen, Then she was horribly tormented and tortured for years, Spencer was kidnapped and held hostage for a while by her crazy stocker along with her friends, and then she finally got a break from it all for five years, but when she came home to rosewood two of her best friends died and that was the last straw for Spencer...she broke. She was now in the hospital because she wouldn't eat anything and she still won't talk to Veronica. Veronica honestly has no idea how to fix this, she doesn't know how to help her daughter.
"Spencer" veronica held her daughters hand, as she sat by the hospital bed, "Talk to me"
"Toby" Spencer whispered
"He had to work baby, but I'm here" Veronica was happy to hear Spencer talk
"Toby" Spencer cried, "Please get him"
"Baby he can't come here till after work, but I can call Aria, or Alison if you want"
"No" Spencer turned over and closed her eyes, she didn't want anyone but Toby..unless it was Hanna or Emily.
Aria was sitting in her room with Caleb, she had just washed his arm because it was all cut up, he was bleeding. She was on her bed and he was on the floor, she had no idea where he lived so she brought him here, to sleep.
"Caleb?" Aria asked as she laid down, the lights where off and they were both under their blankets ready for bed.
"Yeah" Caleb responded
"I'm sorry about Hanna" Aria whispered, a little freaked out to bring up Hanna
"Please don't!" Caleb yelled sitting up "Do not apologize to me!, this is all my fault"
"No it isn't" Aria got up and sat by Caleb on the floor
"Hanna was upset, we were fighting..she was saying she should have married Jordan when she had the chance, that the only reason she wanted me back was because she was flipping out about getting married and wanted something easy, something that came with good memories..a past. And well, I'm Hanna's past so she wanted me"
"Why would she say that?" Aria laced her fingers with Caleb's, making sure he knew she was there
"She was drunk and she was upset..she had just talked to her dad, he was mad that she chose me.. and you know how he gets in her head. The fight ended with me yelling at her to get out before I got more angry, and she left..she died leaving my place" Caleb fell into Aria's arms crying.
"Oh Caleb..it's not your fault, you where drunk and angry, she was saying hurtful things..you didn't know what would happen" Aria let Caleb cry himself to sleep in her arms she just sat there and played with his hair, wishing that Hanna was here to fix everything, to make Caleb better.
Alison sat there in her room, on her bed, holding the box from Emily. She was scared to open it, to see what ever Emily wanted her to have.
"You can do this" She whispered to herself as she slowly opened the box. Inside she found a snow globe..the one she gave Emily many years ago. Under that she found two bracelets, the kind of purple string like ones they wore in high school, one had Alison written on it, the other Emily. Lastly she found a note, she was scared to read it, so instead she put both the bracelets on her wrists and looked at the snow globe, remembering giving it to Emily. But she had to read the note, she had to know what Emily wanted to say.
"Alison, I'm so sorry that I did this, I know that if you have this note that means that I am gone. I know that you are hurting more than anyone else by my death, yes the others are in pain by this, but you have always loved me more than anyone, you have cared about me, even though at some times it didn't seem that way. Ali I hope you do not beat yourself up about not telling me how you love me, I already know. Yes I know, I always have. The way we kissed, was magic, The way you held my hand let me know how needed I was, The way you looked at me showed me how sorry you where about making me think you where dead, The way you talked to me and about me showed me and everyone else how much you want me and care for me. And all of those together made me know that you LOVE ME. I have always known that you love me, and I have always loved you. I knew you lied and said I was just a friend cause you where scared about it, about loving me, about how much you needed me, about everything. I don't care that you where mean to me, I don't at all, I forgive you. Please forgive me for what I have done, and please..for me move on. Love Em" Alison was in tears, crying horribly by the end of the note.
"I forgive you Em, but I don't think I will ever move on."
