NOTE: I'm sorry for another really late update, but like I've mentioned before, I'm just a little lost with this story. It didn't turn out how I thought it was, so things have changed. This takes place right where the last chapter left off, and for those of you who are confused… I'm a little confused myself.

Aria and Ezra – Bad

Alison – Good (or as good as Ali ever gets anyway)

Hopefully that helps a little.


"Guys, don't listen to Aria. She's the one you can't trust. I was tortured by A too, why would I be A?" Alison exclaimed. "She and Ezra are the ones that kidnapped Hanna. I saved you from the tunnel. Don't listen to anything they tell you."

"Aria has been there for us for years while you left us believing you were dead. Even when you were with us, you played a bunch of horrible games." Spencer said. "As for Ezra, he cares for Aria and wouldn't do anything to hurt us. How do we know that you're not just lying to us?"

"Didn't you just hear what I said? They kidnapped Hanna!" Alison was yelling now.

"Is this true?" Emily said to Aria.

"No, of course it's not true. Why would I do that to Hanna?" Aria said back.

"Maybe you should let Hanna talk. She's the topic of this discussion." Alison snapped. Hanna stood frozen in between Aria and Ezra. She looked back and forth between them and her other friends. She didn't want Ali ruling things again, but they should know the truth about Aria and Ezra. She had no clue as to what she should have done. Hanna made a decision. She was not going to let Ali be in charge again, and she didn't want to see what would happen if she admitted that Aria and Ezra were A.

"They didn't kidnap me. I got lost in the tunnel and I found a way out and escaped. I found Ezra later; he said he was looking for Aria. I told him that we got separated, but a few minutes later Aria found us. She told me that she had lost the others." It wasn't her best lie, but all Hanna needed was for the girls to believe her.

Aria and Ezra looked at each other with confused looks on their faces, surprised that Hanna had lied. Neither of them knew what to say.

"Do you guys really believe this crap?" Ali said to Spencer and Emily. "Why would you lie to them Han?" She said turning to face Hanna.

"Yeah, I do." Spencer said. "And I also believe that you're still playing with us."

"I thought you guys were my friends. You haven't seen me in three years and you treat me like this." Alison spat.

"You're just getting a taste of your own medicine." Spencer said crossing her arms.

"Maybe you're being a little too harsh Spence." Emily said quietly.

"Em, we all know how you feel about Ali, but do you think she really deserves a big hug and welcome back party?"

"I can take you girls home if you want." Ezra said. "We can get your car in the morning Spencer." The girls started walking away, leaving Ali behind. Ezra glanced back at her, gave her a sly smile and continued walking to his car.


Everyone piled into Ezra's car; it was a very tight fit, but they managed. Ezra and Aria sat up front and Spencer, Emily and Hanna sat in the back. When Emily turned around, she noticed that Alison was gone. Spencer was right; Alison didn't deserve a good welcome back. Ali could take care of herself.

"I can see Alison being A. It's totally something that she would do." Spencer said.

"I could picture it." Aria said with a tiny smile forming on her lips. Hanna stared out of the window, not wanting to say anything. She was in a car with the head of the A Team. She didn't know what to do.

"What about you Hanna?" Spencer asked Hanna with no response. Hanna just kept staring out the windows, looking into the quiet streets of Ravenswood.

"Han? Did you hear me?" Spencer asked.

"Hmm?" Hanna mumbled. "Oh, I don't know. It seems like something she would do, I guess." She replied. Hanna looked up to see that Ezra was staring at her in his mirror. He looked away once he caught Hanna's eyes on his.

Ezra came to a fork in the road and he turned right. The way back to Rosewood was on the left.

"Um, Ez – Mr.–" Spencer just gave up. "I think you turned the wrong way. When I was here before, I took the road on the left."

"You should have listened to your friend Alison." Ezra said turning around to look Spencer in the eyes.

"What's going on?" Emily said in confused tone. "Aria?"

"We're just taking a detour." Aria said.

"You guys can just give it a rest." Hanna said to the two people up front. "It's not like we can go anywhere."

"Hanna?" Spencer asked, her voice getting shaky.

"They're A." Hanna said, waiting to get punished.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING HANNA?" Spencer screamed at Hanna. "Ezra, pull over! Please!" She pleaded.

"I hate Alison okay?" Hanna said getting angry.

"Try the doors." Emily said. The girls in the back tried tugging at the door handles, but they were unsuccessful.

"They're child locked. We're not stupid." Aria laughed. "Oh, and there's nothing you can use to break a window either."

"Sorry Spencer, I can't stop this car, and I can't let you out." Ezra said; a hard expression on his face. "As for you Hanna, we could use someone like you on our side."

"Okay, I've been in a car with someone on the A Team before and I nearly died, so this can't be good." Spencer said to the girls in the backseat with her.

"You're very right Spencer. This isn't going to be good." Ezra said, a sick smile on his lips.
