"I was right, I was right, I was right!" I yelled excitedly as I burst into Spencer's bedroom.
"What the hell, Hanna. Don't do that!" Spencer screamed at me.
Somewhere deep down I felt bad for waking her up. But I was too excited to care right now. This hardly ever happened and I was going to enjoy it for as long as I could.
"Sorry, not sorry, but this is really important and totally worth it." I told her and then paused for dramatic affect. "They found Garrett yesterday morning. And I told you that they would find him in a week and yesterday was exactly seven days. Go on say it."
"You were right, Han." She laughed.
"Why thank you," I told her and I joined her in laughing. "And that's not all. Garrett confessed to a lot of other stuff and totally sold Jenna out. Both of them are getting what they deserve big time."
"Wow, how do you know all this?"
"A certain guy that we go to school with knows how to do stuff with computers." I shrugged. "And another certain person from school volunteers at the newspaper and she found out that this is going to make front page news in a few days."
"Those certain people wouldn't happen to be named Caleb and Mona would they?" She asked with a knowing smile.
"You know me, I don't kiss and tell."
"Oh don't tell me that means you've kissed Mona."
"No, I'm obviously into guys. But we almost did once. It was at a Halloween party and everyone was wearing masks. I had had a couple of drinks and the costume she was wearing was similar to Sean's. But luckily for both of us I took the mask off and figured out it wasn't Sean."
"Oh my goodness! Does Caleb about this?" She laughed.
"No, and you're not going to tell him or anybody else!" I demanded.
"So, is there anything else you wanted to tell me? Or should we spend the rest of our Sunday being lazy and hanging out?" She suggested after she stopped laughing.
"Well, from what I heard, there's a warrant out for Jenna now for the fire. And I think Garrett confessed to killing Ian."
"I knew it! But it's nice to have my theories confirmed. And this'll be good for Melissa. She's acts like she's come to terms with things but I'm not so sure sometimes. This should definitely give her closure." Spencer said thoughtfully.
"Yeah, and it'll be nice for the baby to know her daddy wasn't a killer if Garrett confesses to Alison's death too." I agreed. "Okay, enough being serious. I'm taking you up on spending a lazy Sunday together. Where's your CD player?"
Once again I was right, only this time I didn't shout it and wake Spencer up. Two days later Jenna was caught and it made front page news.
"I can't believe this. It feels so good to know what finally happened to Ali." I told the girls.
Spencer, Mona, Emily, and Aria were all at my house for a Saturday night party. It was to celebrate Garrett and Jenna getting locked up and also a sendoff party for Spencer. She would be leaving tomorrow for New York to get her eye surgery. Later the guys, Caleb, Mike, and Jason would come over and we would have a good time. But until then we would do what girls to best, talk.
"Spencer and I knew it was them but we never had proof. And I never thought Jenna actually did it." Mona told us.
"Speaking of Jenna, who would have thought she could see this whole time?" Emily pointed out.
"I can't believe it either." I shook my head. "Do you think Toby knew?"
"No, I don't think so. He would have said something. The fact that Jenna got one eye done right before he got out of reform school, makes me think she didn't want him to know." Spencer answered.
"I do remember him saying that Jenna would show up out of nowhere and eavesdrop on stuff. And that he couldn't figure out how she knew some things." Mona commented.
"I hate to admit it but it's actually genius and as sneaky as you can get. If you've been to blind school and you see out of only one eye you can play the part of the blind girl without ever raising suspicion. Everyone thinks your blind and they do stuff right in front of you. And you can get away with stuff. " Spencer stated and it was pretty genius and creepy.
"Well, at least she can't deceive people like that anymore. Or ruin anyone else's lives. I knew she and Ali hated each other but to take it that far?" Aria commented.
"Not that I'm defending her, but technically it was an accident. And for the past year and a half she thought Garrett did it." Emily pointed out.
"There was no accident about it. She grabbed the shovel and somehow hit Alison in the head." I said frankly.
"The one thing I'm not sure about is why Garrett stole a page from the autopsy report." Mona said with a puzzled/annoyed look.
"It was most likely in an attempt to protect Jenna. That page showed that a shovel was used. If they didn't have that page they wouldn't know what exactly to look for. And Garrett could explain his prints by saying he helped with yardwork or forgot to wear gloves. But he couldn't explain away Jenna's fingerprints." Spencer theorized.
"It's kind of ironic. He was trying to protect Jenna because he thought she did it and he was just getting his anger and frustration out. And Jenna was protecting him because she didn't think her swing did anything and that Garrett finished Ali off." I thought aloud mostly.
"And in the end they both threw each other under the bus." Aria added.
"It feels nice to know that we won't ever see either of them again." Emily stated with a content smile.
"Yep, Garrett is charged for framing us, tampering with evidence, killing Ian, helping Jenna cover up Ali's death, and a bunch of other stuff. And Jenna is charged with killing Alison, being involved with Ian's death and framing us, the fire in Jason's apartment, and for attempted murder with Spencer." Mona told us matter-of-factly with a smug grin. "And that's just all the stuff we know about."
"And Jenna told them the truth about the garage fire. It was taken off Toby's record and all we have to do is work at the crisis hotline for a couple weeks." Emily reminded us.
"Don't forget Ian helped Garrett bury Alison and ran Toby off the road after homecoming." Spencer added. "I know what he did was wrong and that he wasn't a good guy, but I'm happy for Melissa. When she found out his name was cleared of killing Alison she cried for ten minutes she was so happy. I've never her heard cry before ever."
"I think everybody's happy. This whole mess is over and we can finally move on from everything." Emily said.
"And that's why we're here tonight, to celebrate and start off on the right foot for moving on." I added. "Come on, let's set up and get some karaoke practice before the guys show up. They'll be here in like thirty minutes."
"All of us together partying, alcohol, and karaoke do not sound like a good mix." Spencer laughed.
"It's called making memories, Spencer. And you're going to enjoy yourself whether you like it or not because this is your good luck party too." I told her leaving no room for her to argue.
The party was great and everyone had so much fun, even Spencer. But looking back as Caleb, Emily, and I were drunkenly cleaning up. Well, Emily and Caleb were mostly sober and I was getting there, but anyway. I hated to admit it, because I was supposed to be super-duper mad at him for walking away from Spencer. But I sort of, kind of missed Toby.
Things felt a little weird without him and Spencer sitting together being adorable. And I know she would never admit it but she missed him too. Usually I would give her a talk and tell her to get her butt over to his place and make up. But she hadn't done anything and he was the one that walked away from her. He was the one that needed some sense knocked into him.
Right then and there as I dumped someone's unfinished vodka soda, Spencer's favorite of course, down the sink. I decide that I would be the one to knock some sense into Toby Cavanaugh. I grabbed my purse and shoved my keys in Caleb's hand.
"Forget cleaning this place, we're going to Toby's." I told them and headed for my bedroom.
"Hanna, it is one-thirty in the morning!" Emily scolded me as she followed me upstairs.
"I don't care. Spencer is leaving tomorrow, or actually later today, and this needs to be settled before then." I told her as I unplugged my pink furry lamp.
"What needs to be settled? And why are you bringing a lamp?" Emily questioned me.
"That's for me to know and Toby to find out. So one of you, just get me to Toby's or I'll walk there." I threatened.
"Hanna, can't this wait until morning?" Caleb asked me.
"It is morning. No more stalling and get in my car!" I demanded.
"Hanna, you can't just go banging on the door. You'll wake his parents up and we'll all get in trouble." Emily tried to stop me.
"Quit worrying, Emily, they're not even home. They're nothing but cowards and left town as soon as sweet little Jenna got arrested so they wouldn't hear the gossip." I told her rolling my eyes.
"Fine, let's just get this over with. I want to get to sleep before the sun comes up." Caleb complained.
I shook my head; I was really getting annoyed by them. Couldn't they see how important this was? I pounded on the front door and hoped Toby was a light sleeper.
"Toby Cavanaugh, open the door this instant!" I shouted as I continued to knock as loud as I could.
"Hanna, you're going to wake up the whole street!" Emily whisper shouted.
I was going to ignore her and yell again but I didn't need to. The door opened and a not very happy looking Toby appeared.
"Hanna? What the hell are you doing?" He demanded.
"Why the hell did you walk away from her?" I challenged him.
"Do you have any idea what time it is?" He asked clearly mad.
"Yeah, it's late I know. That's all this party-poopers have been telling me. But whether you like it or not this can't wait." I said while rolling my eyes.
"Fine, come in and tell me what it is that can't wait." He sighed in frustration and we followed him inside.
"Let's start with the question that you never answered. Why did you walk away from her?" I stated once we were in the living room.
"I'm sorry, Hanna, but that's none of your business." He told me.
"Wrong answer, smartass!" I told him and hit him with the pink furry lamp I still had.
"Hanna!" Caleb and Emily yelled at me.
"What? Did you think I've been carrying this lamp around like a toddler carries around a blankie?" I asked them sarcastically. "I told you I was bringing it for me to know and Toby to find out."
"Can we just get on with whatever this is?" Toby asked. "And I would prefer that it be without hitting me with the lamp again."
"I wouldn't count on that last part." I told him.
"Hanna!" Caleb and Emily yelled again.
"Alright! Spencer misses you like crazy. She is leaving tomorrow. And when I see her off, I want her to be excited and happy. Not sad and missing some guy that doesn't care about her. A guy that never did care about her and never will care about her!"
I ended my explanation/rant by hitting him again with the lamp.
"Hey, I do care about her. I always have." Toby stated defensively.
"Again, then why the hell did you walk away that night? Huh?" I asked for a third time.
"I was doing what I had to do. And that's all you need to know." He told me and I knew that was all I would get. But I wasn't ready to give up.
"Maybe, but Spencer needs more than that. And if you care about her at all, you will prove it by showing up tomorrow before she leaves. And I don't care what you tell her but don't let her leave Rosewood without knowing the truth."
"What time is she leaving?" He asked quietly.
"Ten, but we're going over at nine-thirty to say goodbye. Don't afraid to be early, but be very afraid of being late or not showing up at all." I warned him.
"Is that all you came to tell me?" He asked.
"One more thing, I shouldn't be here because you never should have walked away from her whatever your dumb reason." I stated hitting him with the lamp for a third time. "But do not make me come back here. If you are stupid enough to let her walk away from you tomorrow I will do a lot worse than hit you with a pink furry lamp. Understand?"
"Yeah, I understand, Hanna." He nodded.
"Good," I smiled with satisfaction. "Now, go to bed, wouldn't want you to oversleep."
"Does this mean we can go home now?" Caleb asked.
"Yes, Caleb, you can go home and get your precious sleep too." I sighed and rolled my eyes as I walked towards the door.
So you finally know everything. Jenna and Garrett were behind it all and now the girls can move on. How did you like having Hanna again? Do you think Toby will show up in the morning? You'll find out soon because I will update again when I get 200 reviews! BTW thank you to prettylittlespoby13 for giving me the idea with the pink lamp. And thanks to midmaxieblue for the idea about Jenna's eye.
