A/N: This is going to be a three month time skip from where I left off in chapter seven Goodbye Rosewood Hello New York.

Hanna

I can't help but feel as if I've become Alison 2.0 and not realize what was happening I know I want nothing to do with her but I can't say the same for the others. The looks I got when I weighed more than they had it made me truly self-conscious I guess you could call it because I have no other way of describing how I felt in those years my only saving grace was aria. She's helped me in more ways than I can ever repay though she tells me over and over again that I don't have to I myself feel that I should even if she might not accept it right then or not.

Through this whole thing only Emily really knows how it feels to have done yourself bodily harm so she understands me to a point though I wouldn't put it past her to have help Aria find a way to draw me from my current shell. I never liked to cut but it was the only outlet I could find at the time and it made me feel so much better about myself I guess the ashen skin instead of my normal sun kissed tan was a dead giveaway and the fact that I had stopped eating wasn't able to be hid cause normally my clothes were form fitting.

It's been about a month since I got out of the hospital a month since I started going back to school and others are avoiding me not just for my popularity but because they think I'm a suicide risk after my last episode I had with Alison being a total bitch. Today was Friday the first weekend in May as well as being six in the morning around the time I go on my runs I've started going on since the incident that being said I grabbed my I-pod stuck my phone in the pocket of my shorts and placing said music player on my arm in its holster and walked out the door.

{Start: When I'm gone by: 3Doors down}

Coming off the porch I set off on my run there was a trail near that led into the city at least from what Emily has told me when we met up on runs like this to which I had no doubt we would meet up today because we always did. Rounding the next corner I cut across the park toward the trail just as Emily did so as well coming to be next to each other I smiled as did she we continued going neck and neck while I got lost in my thoughts about leaving Rosewood the same thoughts that have been on my mind since before the incident.

'Going to New York would be a change of pace for me no more Alison no more people calling me 'hefty Hanna' I can just be Hanna Marin away from the bigotry of this place but, I can't leave the others especially my angel.' These thoughts have continued to plague my mind with a longing as if I left my life would somehow be better I was so lost in thought that I hadn't realized I stopped until Emily came back and spoke.

"What's wrong Hanna why'd you stop running?" she asked I looked at her with a nervous smile before shaking my head as I spoke.

"It's a lot to take in Emmy it's just a lot to take in I'd always asked her why it was we never really looked alike my mom I mean I've always wondered why tom looked at me as if I was the cause of the money problems that mom and I once went through you know? For years I've wanted answers and now that I have them I can't help but wonder if I have some form of family out there searching for me." I said, while shaking my head.

"Hanna I'm sure you have family searching for you sweetie the things you've been though because of an evil attention seeking bitch finding out your adopted could've been the worst someone in your situation had to hear coming from your own mom. You are far stronger than anyone could possibly hope to be you and aria both neither of you have been sick before you're like the sister I never had you're as smart as Spencer if not smarter you just hide it under that typical blonde stereo-type Aria misses you in her words 'I want my blond angel I want her back give me back my blond angel!' she cries for you." She said, as I turned toward the trail facing aria's house.

I looked at Emily and hugged her giving her a look in which she quickly took out her phone and called spencer I felt something in me shift it felt wild as I looked around I noticed gold eyes staring at me as growling filled the air. I turned my head to Emily silently telling her to go and wait for Spencer by the trail entrance and to bring help as the thing lunged the animal was twice my damned size but I dropped to my back and flipped it over me.

{End song}

By the time I was on my feet again the wolf from the looks of it was already up and lunged taking a bite out of my side causing me to scream in pain as it hurt like a bitch as I punched the damned thing in the head it didn't let go or rather it wouldn't like it was waiting for something. I was shocked to say the least when I saw Aria run up the path as the wolf let go of me and lunged at her but I couldn't move and for the life of me I didn't know why that was all I could do is watch as the wolf attacked the girl I love.

I looked at the wolf screaming in pure rage and pain as I tried to stand up before it became a monstrous roar that caused the wolf to break away and try to flee into the forest around the trail. I couldn't get up my side was bleeding badly as was Aria I didn't care if I made the wound worse I crawled over to her watching as she stretched her hand in my direction I was almost to her. Reaching Aria I finally caved losing consciousness at the same time as my angel the both of us laying in a puddle of our mixed blood I know Emily heard the roar I can hear her footsteps as well as Spencer.

The sharp intake of breathe is close I hear someone dialing numbers on a phone most likely Spencer seeing as Emily isn't able to the sirens I could hear them coming my god the pain though my attention is on my angel. She isn't moving I can see it I squeeze her hand with little to no response is this the feeling of despair she can't she can't die on me she needs to live I need her to live there are more footsteps now six sets four of which are carrying gurneys.

I won't let go though I knew I had too I heard a voice sounded like Spencer and soon I was glad because I knew she'd be alright my decision is made New York here we come the question is will Emily and Spencer want out as well?
