CALEB POV
"I'm sorry." Miranda apologizes softly.
"For what?" I ask her, confused a bit. She looks at me and bites her lip slightly.
"For thinking that we uh, could've been something." Miranda explains.
"C-Caleb, some-something is happening to me." She says as she cries in pain, clutching her stomach. She tries standing up, but falls down.
"Miranda!" I yell as I try to think of something. Miranda starts glowing slightly.
"C-Caleb, my j-jar."
"I keep her in the jar, to protect her from any of the ghosts." Mr. Collins explains. "Releasing her is exposing her to all the ghosts. Miranda is in great danger." He finishes.
"The house, we need to get back in the house." I say as we both run out of the room and out of the house.
"MIRANDA!" I exclaim as I burst open the door. Max is about to choke her to death!
Suddenly, lightning hits Max in the chest. I turn my head slowly and I see Hanna standing with the lightning fading away in her hands.
"It's okay, I got this bitch." Hanna says as she aims her hands at Max.
"I'm so happy you're back!" Hanna exclaims as she tries hugging me, but she can't. She chuckles and smiles.
"Don't be too happy."
Miranda, Hanna, and I turn at the voice behind us. Mr. Collins is standing there, looking at all of us. "Hello Miranda." Mr. Collin greets. "Welcome back." Miranda smiles at him. His slight smile disappears. "For now." He mutters.
"Yeah, but you need to go back eventually, this won't last forever. You did actually die, Miranda." Mr. Collins tells her. She sighs in frustration and lines her eyebrows in sadness. "You only have three days."
I look at her too, my lips lightly apart. I lean over and finally kiss her. She immediately responds as she wraps her arm around my neck and the other on my chest. When oxygen was needed, we pulled away softly. I rest my head on hers, our eyes still closed.
PRESENT IN ROSEWOOD, DECEMBER 21ST, 10:02AM, ARIA'S POV
I sit at the lunch table and I stare at the rest, they're silent. I open my mouth about to say something, but I close it. Alison looks at me and the rest.
"Have any of you heard from A?" Alison speaks up. We all look at her, annoyed. "Just asking." She says quietly as she eats her salad. Suddenly, Jenna comes over to us and stands in front of our table.
"May we help you?" Spencer asks, sarcastically. Jenna smirks at Spencer's remark.
"It must suck coming here, knowing someone you love is in the hospital." Jenna smirks. Spencer eyes her dangerously. I look at her and I shake my head and I mouth 'don't'. "Why so silent?" Jenna asks.
"We don't feel like talking, Jenna." Emily snaps. Jenna chuckles.
"Come on, I've been in the hospital before, it isn't so bad." Jenna smirks again. "Unless, you don't make it" She adds. Emily suddenly snaps and slaps her in the face. Everyone in the cafeteria looks at her, shocked. Suddenly, a teacher grabs her arm and takes her to the principal's office.
"Shit." I mutter under my breath. I look up at Spencer and Alison. "I can't be here; it was a mistake coming." I run out of the cafeteria, holding tears back. I drive home quickly, not thinking about anything else but how Hanna looked in that hospital.
BACK IN RAVENSWOOD, 10:32AM, HANNA'S POV
I look in the mirror, seeing everything that happened in the cafeteria, and then I see Aria in the car, crying. I rub my head, trying to get rid of my headache from all the frustration watching. Miranda walks in and looks at me, sighing.
"I can't take it Miranda, I have to see her, and I need to see her!" I cry in frustration.
"You can't, look it's bad enough that Emily and Spencer know, you are putting more people in danger." Miranda explains.
"What danger, Miranda?" I look at her, raising an eyebrow.
"Max could harm them, or the news could go around in Rosewood." Miranda replies.
"You really think they'd tell people?" I ask her. "You know we can all keep a secret." I chuckle, but I stop myself short, but what if A can see me?
"What's wrong?" Miranda asks as I am in thought. I snap out of my trance and I look up at her.
"Nothing, just thinking about Aria. Can I go see her?" I ask her, pleading. She nods slowly and I run out of the room.
I head back to Rosewood, trying to find Aria. I fly to her house, and I see her in her room lying on her bed. I slowly fade into the walls of her room. She can't see me unfortunately as I walk in her room. I sit on the edge of her bed, sighing, looking at her blowing her nose in the tissues.
"Hi Aria." I greet, looking at her. She makes no reaction for some reason. I look at her, confused. Miranda looks at me from inside the closet, and my eyes widen. I walk over to her and walk in the closet with her.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask her. "How did you even get in?"
"She can't see or hear you." Miranda whispers.
"Why?" I look at Aria and then at her. Miranda looks at Aria like she's studying her, thoroughly. "What are you doing?"
"Just because I'm human now, doesn't mean all my powers are gone." Miranda reminds and whispers to me, smirking. She continues studying. Miranda's eyebrows raise and she looks at me, nervously.
"She's related to you." Miranda tells me, her eyes widened. My eyes widen and I look at her, my jaw falling. I look at her, almost laughing. She keeps looking at me, serious and scared. My eyes widen and I shake my head in disbelief.
"N-No, she couldn't be." I look at Aria in disbelief as she reads a book. Miranda looks at her once more, studying more.
"Sh-She is your h-half s-sister." Miranda nervously says. She tips toes and goes to Ella's room. I follow her, my eyes widened still.
"What are you doing?" I ask Miranda. She opens the drawer quietly with her eyes, and lifts Aria's birth certificate records. Her eyes go to my hands and the records fall into my hands. I read the certificate and the father isn't Byron. It's my father. I drop the records in surprise in disbelief.
"N-No, no way in hell, that can't be." I look down at the records, shaking my head. She looks at me, shrugging, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, Aria walks out of her room. "You need to go!" I shout. "She's coming!"
Miranda climbs out the window and jumps. I go by the window and she's gently floating down.
I walk over to Aria, about to cry. She's doing the dishes in silence. How can I get her to see me?
I need to say something powerful enough to get her to break out of her trance.
"Uh, Gossip girl is coming back!" I exclaim, but she can't hear me.
"I'm your half-sister." I tell her, still nothing. I sigh in defeat, but suddenly a name pops in my head. I chuckle before saying it. "Ezra Fitz."
"Where?" Aria asks, looking to the right. Suddenly she looks to the left and sees me. Her eyes widen and she steps back. "What the- you aren't here." Aria tells herself. "No, I'm going crazy." Aria says, looking at me.
"No, you aren't." I remind her. She looks at me, a bit freaked out and in disbelief.
"This is the second time I'm being visited by a best friend that is supposedly 'dead'" Aria says, putting quotes around dead. I look at her nervous, afraid to tell her I'm actually half related to her.
"Yeah, best friend." I mutter under my breath.
"What does that mean?" Aria asks me. I hesitate to tell her, I look at the floor, and back up to her.
"I um, I may be closer to you than you think. " I hesitate to look at her face.
"I'm totally lost here." Aria looks at me, puzzled. I motion her to follow me, and I walk into Ella's room again. I try to do what Miranda did, I opened the drawer with my eyes, and lifted the paper up, but it falls in my hand. I inwardly chuckle and I hand it to her. She reads the paper and her eyes widen. "You're my…" Aria hesitates to tell me. "My half- sister?" Aria paces around the room. "How can I be so bind?"
"Tell me about it." I mutter. Aria looks at me, with tears in her eyes. I match her look, smiling. I run up to her and hug her, smiling widely. She hugs me back tightly and silently cries. Aria pulls away and she wipes away her tears. "This is so freaky." I tell her. "I had to be a ghost to find this out!" I laugh and she joins me. "Emily and Spencer know about this." I inform her, serious. "Don't tell another soul about this. Or else they actually want to lose their soul and become like me." I bite my lip.
"I won't, I promise. Alison doesn't know?" Aria asks me. I roll my eyes at the thought of her.
"No, she doesn't and I didn't intend telling her." I cross my arms. Aria smirks and hugs me once more.
"I miss you guys." I mutter as I hug her. She pulls away and smiles.
"We miss you too, please visit us soon." Aria reminds me.
"Okay. Later, sister." I laugh. Aria chuckles and squeezes my hand as she walks back into the kitchen. I pop out of her house and pop into Ravenswood.
I walk into the house again and I walk up the stairs. I fade into the door and I walk in on Caleb giving Miranda a kiss. My eyes widen and I look at the two. They stare at me, shocked. "Am I interrupting something?" I snap.
