Spencer

"Toby! I'm leaving!" Spencer yelled.

She grabbed her purse, and then, as she was putting on her shoes, heard her husband yell back from upstairs, "ok! Have fun! Tell the girls I say hi!"

Spencer just stood there. After a couple seconds, she shouted, "Aren't you forgetting something, honey?"

"crap." Toby mumbled, running down the stairs. He grabbed his wife around the waist and kissed her.

Spencer giggled as Toby planted kisses down her neck. "stop, Toby! That tickles! And if I laugh too hard, I'm going to wake up Maddie and Annie." she squealed.

"if that's what you want." Toby said, as he removed his lips from her neck.

"it's definitely not what I want; I could let you do that all day." Spencer said, smiling. "but it's what we need. I'm pretty sure you don't want to go and put the little girls who just fell asleep BACK to sleep."

"fine. But I'm going to miss you." Toby said, taking his wife's face in his hands.

"Tob. It's one night." Spencer said. "I'm sure you'll be fine."

"but..." Toby started.

"no buts!" Spencer scolded, interrupting him. She put her hands around his neck and kissed him, running her tongue over the roof of his mouth. "there. That should hold you over until I'm gone."

"I love you." Toby said, letting go of his wife.

"love you too." Spencer said. She opened the front door and walked out.

As she was opening the driver's side door of her white Jeep, her phone rang. She sat down, and pulled it out of her purse.

It was a text from Hanna that said, "where are you guys?"

"hold on, ms. impatient." Spencer texted back. "I'm picking up Aria and then I'll be there."

She pulled out of her driveway and then stopped in front of Aria's house and honked the car horn. A minute later, Aria came rushing out of her house as fast as a pregnant woman can.

She opened the passenger side door of Spencer's car and hopped in. "okay, to Hanna's house we go." she said.

10 minutes later, they had arrived at Hanna's house. They stepped out of the car, walked up onto the porch, and rang the doorbell.

Spencer raised her hand to knock on the door, but just as her knuckles were about to come in contact with it, Hanna swung open the door. "hey hey!" she yelled, then noticed Spencer's hand 2 inches from her face. "seriously, I just opened the door! How can you already want to smack me?"

Spencer laughed and lowered her hand. "Hanna, we already know that you're going to be extremely annoying and sarcastic. I thought I'd get the hitting over with before you even say anything." she said.

"but you love me anyway." Hanna said, smiling.

"of course we do." Aria said. She and Spencer stepped into Hanna's house and shut the door behind them.

"ok, girls. Em should be here any second. We're sleeping in the living room. All right with you guys?" Hanna asked.

"fine, but I call the couch!" Aria yelled. "pregnant women should NOT have to sleep on the floor!"

"hey, I'm pregnant too!" Spencer shouted.

"yeah, but you also aren't due in 4 days!" Aria yelled back.

"ugh, you win. But I want the love-seat." Spencer said.

"geez! Why are pregnant women so grumpy!" Hanna screamed, interrupting her friend's argument.

Spencer and Aria started ranting on about hormones, and hard work, and other problems of pregnancy.

"forget I even asked." Hanna said, sighing.

The doorbell rang and Hanna went to answer it.

"hey, Han." Emily said after Hanna had opened the door to find her there.

"hey, girl." Hanna said, letting Emily in and closing the door behind her."Aria and Spence are already here, so now the party can begin!"

The 4 girls took off their shoes and went into the living room to find Hanna's fiancé sitting on the couch, watching football.

"come on! Run, you idiot! Run!" Caleb was screaming at the TV.

"oh god, he's yelling at the television again." Hanna said, sitting down on the couch next to her boyfriend.

Caleb looked at Hanna, "and you're one to talk about yelling at the TV. I'm sorry, but aren't you the girl who's sitting on this very couch screaming at the judges on American Idol every Thursday night."

"uh...American Idol is on WEDNESDAY nights." Hanna said, correcting her fiancé.

"excuse me." Caleb said sarcastically. But he grabbed his girlfriend by her legs and pulled her onto his lap. He took her face in his hands and kissed her.

"ok, this is supposed to be girls night; not Caleb and Hanna be all lovey-dovey while the 3 of us sit here and watch night." Aria said.

The couple broke apart and Caleb said, sighing,"women. I'm going to go make myself a sandwich."

"hey babe, can you make me a turkey sandwich with lettuce, cheese and mayo?" Hanna asked as her fiancé scooted out from under her.

"sure thing." Caleb said, giving Hanna a kiss on the forehead. "anything for you."

"I'll have one too." Aria said from her place on the couch next to Hanna.

"me too." said Spencer, who was sitting on the love-seat.

"make that a fifth sandwich." Emily agreed, from the rug next to the couch.

Caleb groaned. "why did I ever agree to letting you invite these 3 over?" he asked.

All 4 girls scowled at him.

"you didn't agree. I just said they were coming;you couldn't do anything about it." Hanna said, smirking.

". I'm going to make FIVE sandwiches." Caleb said, retreating into the kitchen.

As soon as her boyfriend was out of sight, Hanna grabbed the remote and said, "ok, changing the channel. No more of these sweaty dudes running around trying to catch a ball."

"hey, football isn't so bad." Spencer said. "Toby, the girls, and I actually have a lot of fun watching it together."

"well, I'm not Toby." Hanna said.

"ok, then..." Spencer said. But then, she swiped the remote from right under Hanna's nose. "but you can't change the channel if you don't have the remote!"

She tossed the remote control to Aria, yelling, "hey, Ar! Catch!"

Aria caught the remote and then threw it at Emily.

In seconds, the 3 girls were throwing the remote back and forth with each other while Hanna was desperately trying to catch it.

This went on for minutes, until Spencer's cell phone rang. They all stopped their mini-war while Spencer picked up her phone from the coffee table.

She didn't answer the call, she just sat there staring at the screen.

"well, aren't you going to answer it?" Aria asked.

"I don't know if I should." Spencer said.

"why not? Who's calling?" Emily asked.

"it's the number for the jail where Ian and Jenna are. But Ian wouldn't call me; he'd call Melissa. So it must be...Jenna." Spencer stuttered.

"well answer it! And put it on speaker! I wanna hear what that bitch has to say after all these years!" Hanna shouted.

"Hanna!" Spencer said, reprimanding her friend.

"actually, Han's right." Aria said.

"for once..." Emily muttered under her breath.

But apparently Hanna heard her, because she shot Emily a look.

"I do kind of want to hear what my husband's evil stepsister has to say..." Spencer said.

"just answer it already!" Hanna screamed.

Spencer pushed the green pick-up button, and then the one that put the caller on speaker."hello?" she cautiously asked.

"Spencer, I don't have much time to talk. They only give me 5 minutes of call time a day, and I already wasted 3 calling Melissa, and then Toby, and having them not answer." the caller said. It was Jenna alright, but she didn't sound angry, like the girls thought she would be. She actually sounded kind of...scared.

"this has to be something about Ian;why else would she try Melissa first?" Spencer thought. She knew that Hanna, Emily, and Aria were all thinking the exact same thing.

"I called to tell you that Ian is..." Jenna said, whispering now. All 4 girls held their breaths.

"Ian is dead." Jenna continued. "he committed suicide last night."

The four girls gasped, staring at each other.

But Jenna was still talking."so now I can finally tell you." she said. "Ian had me swear up and down that I wouldn't tell. But now that he's dead, he can't do anything about it."

She paused, and laughed a tiny nervous laugh, before going on and saying, "I want you to know that it wasn't us."

But then there was a muffled voice in the background, that when the girls listened close, it was barely audible, but they heard it, saying, "ok, miss Cavanaugh, your time is up." Then the line went dead.

All four girls sat in silence, just staring at each other, barely breathing or making a sound.

Finally, Hanna spoke. "well, what do you think that meant?" she asked, whispering; shocked.

But the question was never answered because at that moment, all four of the girl's cell phones got a text-message at the same time.

They all looked at the tiny glowing screens and gasped.

On every one of the four screens was the message, "Now that my posers are gone, I can tell the truth. Something you bitches have never been able to do. -A"
