Hey, thanks for the reviews! Hoping this chapter will pull in more reviews. I love to know what you all think!

Chapter 2: Him!

Back in Rosewood

Being that another year has passed, the day had Aria, Hanna, Spencer, and Emily in a bit of a depression state as well.

"One whole year yet we still have no answers" Spencer said, as the girls sat around the living room of the Hasting's household.

"Exactly, I feel like a hamster just running around in circles" Emily said running her fingers through her long dark hair.

The girls threw themselves a little slumber party, in hopes to take their mind off of all their problems but it wasn't working. Instead of having pillow fights, playing cheesy games, and eating tons of junk food they found themselves looking at old photos of Alison.

"I know people thought Alison was evil and selfish…" Aria started

"Which she was" Hanna interrupted

Aria glared and rolled her eyes: "But, she was also giving. She had a way of making us feel…."

"Special" Hanna finished

"Exactly"

Emily sighed "Is it so bad that we miss her?"

"Not at all" Spencer said but trailed off coming across a certain picture

"Spencer? What is it?" Hanna asked seeing the look on Spencer's face.

"Oh! Nothing…It's just…" she answered "You girls remember this guy?" Spencer asked as she held up a picture

"Oh yeah, Austin Moon. He and Ali knew each other since Kindergarten" Emily nodded grabbing the picture to get a closer look

"Yeah, I have seen him a few times. He was Ali's… boy…friend?" Hanna asked

Emily looked and shook her head "They never had the chance to make it official" she replied in a soft tone

Though Alison had the tendency to make everyone's business her business she was extremely private about her life. Emily was the only one she shared in depth secrets with about Austin, and Ali also introduced the two a few times.

"I remember seeing him around town a few times, but now not so much. What happened to him?" Aria asked

"About a month after Ali's disappearance he and his family moved to Miami" Emily answered

"Why?" Hanna chimed in

"Ali was also his best friend; he couldn't stand to be in this town without her. His parents thought it was smart as well, they didn't want their son in this chaotic atmosphere"

"Why couldn't my mom be that smart?" Hanna rolled her eyes "I'd do anything to get the hell away from Rosewood"

"So let's go!" Spencer said

"Go where?" the three asked in unison

"How do you feel about a trip to Miami?" Spencer asked with a smirk

"Oh no!" Aria replied "Spencer no!"

"I agree with Aria, Spencer" Emily said

"Come on guys, why not?" Spencer asked "Besides the four of us, sounds like he knew Ali the best, I'm sure he could probably know something we don't"

"Didn't you hear what I just said? He left to get away from all this craziness." Emily argued

"Did you ever think, he left because he's hiding something?" Spencer rebuttal

"NO! Austin wouldn't hurt a fly" Emily replied

"Em look! We've been searching for two years now, and still nothing. We always had one piece of the puzzle missing, maybe he has that missing piece?"

Emily rolled her eyes, "Fine you can go but, I'm staying I want nothing to do with this"

"You have to come!" Hanna argued

"You are the only one that really knows him" Aria pointed out

Emily took a moment to think, as she stared at the photo of Alison sitting on the coffee table

"…Fine! But, if we do this. We do it my way. We approach him my way… DEAL?" Emily said looking at Spencer especially

"Deal" Spencer nodded

"Yes! Miami!" Hanna exclaimed jumping up "Beaches and clues here we come!"

PLEASE REVIEW! I LOVE FEEDBACK & I TAKE SUGGESTIONS! THE MORE REVIEWS THE LONGER AND FASTER THE UPDATES COME! SO WANTED FASTER AND LONGER UPDATES, PLEASE REVIEW AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO, TOO. XD

What to expect! NEXT CHAPTER: ANOTHER FLASHBACK WITH ALI & AUSTIN. AND AUSTIN FINALLY OPENS UP. (I'm going to TRY to alternate, every chapter one that focuses on the present with Austin and the Liars together and separate! And the second that focuses on the past of Austin & Alison's relationship so that you won't be getting more of one than the other, this will continue until later the story all comes together!)
