FROZEN: A HANNA MARIN STORY
CHAPTER FOUR: SPENCER HASTINGS
Days, weeks, since my accident, Spencer has been glued to my bed side. She's been reading to me non stop, telling me about everything going on, but I can see it happening. I saw Aria lose Ezra to prison, Emily to Maya, and now Spencer is losing the battle of her life. She could end up in prison for Alison's murder, which we all know she didn't commit. She might not show it but I know she's freaked out, worried about her future. I'm sitting on the chair on the other side of my bed, Spencer's on the other, catching sleep. Mona walks in the room, waking her up when the door slams shut behind her. "Oh, Spence, I didn't see you there," she tells her, clutching her purse close to her. "That's fine, i've been invisible here. I like that," she tells her, getting comfortable on the chair sitting up. "Why don't you go home? Sleep in your bed than on that uncomfortable chair." Mona tells her sounded a little human. "Invisible me doesn't get harassed my the media or cops. They've been on my pavement since Hanna's accident and convinced I killed Alison," she tells Mona, looks at her and hands her a pair of keys. "Look, my parents are out of town this weekend and it's time to get a good night of sleep, go my place," she tells her with compassion. I knew Mona was a nice person deep down, we both are.
"Seriously, Mona, thanks for the offer," Spencer begins to tell her... "Spencer, I'm not taking a no," as Mona says that, Spencer grabs the keys. "Thanks," and then leaves. I begin to follow her, but I stay for a few minutes to listen to latest school and celebrity gossip. After an hour with Mona I head to her house, I notice Spencer's car in the drive way and the kitchen light on. When I walk inside I see her sitting at the island talking to Aria and Emily, she hasn't been able to talk to anyone else. "Do you think A is giving up on us? A's getting everything they want," Spencer tells her friends. "Yeah, my relationship is over, your going to be a convicted felon if you can't get the charges dropped like soon," Aria tells them. I'm sitting in the spot where I would have been if I weren't in the hospital, "I still can't believe Mona was nice to you," Emily puts in her two cents. I can't believe how messed up everything is, things weren't suppose to be like this.
After the girls left for the night, Spencer slept peacefully on Mona's couch. She would have felt weird sleeping in Mona's bed or her parents room. She keeps waiting for the last shoe to drop and things will clear her name or worse, convict her. When she awoke in the morning she wanted to head straight to the hospital but knew she couldn't keep putting life off. She needed to catch up on school so she headed to her house after texting her mother she was coming home and needed to know how to lawn looked. When she arrived, it was empty. Thank God, she couldn't handle any more piranha's on her lawn trying to make her feel crazy. When she walked through the door to the house, Spencer saw her mother and father sitting at the island with Melissa and Ian. "Good morning, honey, it's about time you came home," Veronica tells her daughter while hugging her. "Well my friends been in the hospital, I needed to be there," she tells her looking at her. "I got all your assignments from school, they said you can take a week to finish it before you return," her mother lets her know. "Thanks, I appreciate that," Spencer tells her. "I need to take a shower," she adds then heads upstairs to her room.
It's been over a month since Hanna's accident, Spencer has caught up on all her classes in school and has been helping Aria out with anything she needs. She's been trying to text Emily but she's been skipping school a lot and hanging out with Maya a lot more. She texts Emily this morning that they need to meet for lunch before she plans on leaving. Aria was coming along and they needed to see each other, while Aria and Spencer waited at the Bistro they were talking about Ezra. "Have you tried to tell him? Can't you call him? Write him?" Spencer asks her friend. "I haven't told him, I can't... There's nothing he can do behind bars,' she tells her just as Emily walks up to the table with sunglasses on. "Hey," she says as she sits down, leaving the glasses on. "Hey," Aria and Spencer tell her, "Are you going to take them off, we're in doors?" Aria asks looking at her. "No, i'm good," Emily is acting defensive. "Did... Did something happen between you and Maya?" Spencer asks her friend, worried about her.
I wish I was there to tell them what was going on with Emily and let them know where she was heading. They know she wants to leave the Rosewood but doesn't know all the details about everything going on. As far as I know, Maya plans on leaving to California, Emily on the other hands is going to Arizona and worry about making a new life for herself there. I would say at least i'm happy that Emily is finally leaving Maya but then again she's leaving Rosewood and everyone behind. She's leaving me behind. Aria grabs Emily's hand and looks her square in the eye, "I believe the Emily we know wouldn't let anyone put a hand on her or would at least tell her friends if they were," she gets concerns for her friend. "I'm fine," Emily tells her friends again. Emily checks the clock on her phone, "I gotta get going, my bus leaves soon," she looks at them, "I just needed to let you know that i'm ok, i'm going to be ok and i'll keep in touch with you," she tells them stands up. The girls follow suit, Emily hugs both of them goodbye and leaves. Aria looks at Spencer, concerned for her friend.
"I'm not the only one who is a little worried about her, am I?" Spencer asks Aria, she confirms her question. Darren Wilden then walks into the restaurant with two other officers, "Spencer Hastings, can we speak to you outside for a moment?" He asks her, she looks at him. "What's going on?" She asks him. "We can either do this outside, or in here?" He asks her, she stands up and looks at him. "Your really doing this?" She says leading him outside. "Call my mother," she tells Aria as she walks outside and gets arrested. I can't believe this is happening, especially to Spencer.
One Week Later, Spencer's been in jail, her mother has been visiting her to keep her updated. She wasn't set a bail and she has been in a bad mood since she went in, she hasn't been able to sleep or anything. She's sitting in a room talking to her mother through a window, bags under her eyes, her hair a mess. "Mom, get me out of here. I didn't kill Alison," she begs her mother. "I know. I know sweetie, i'm doing everything in my power to get you out of here. It's really hard though with all the evidence they have against you, it's extremely convincing," Veronica looks at her daughter, tears are spilling out of Spencer's eyes. "I didn't kill her, I couldn't hurt anyone, mom..." she spills out. Veronica looks at her daughter, she doesn't want her to miss out on life for something she wasn't even guilty of. "Mommy..." Spencer puts her hand on the glass, Veronica puts her up against her daughter's print. "I got this," she tells her. "I love you."
