Hello! So sorry for the delay again with this story. Trying my best to catch up. Hope everyone has been doing well and here is the new update. Enjoy and as always, thank you for the support/reading!

Days went by and things were slowing down slightly. Wilden was off the case so it allowed the girls to relax and not be looking over their shoulder every minute of the day to see if he was watching them or trying to pin something on them. The obsessiveness of that man was super creepy, and the fact that the police force let someone like him in, or didn't realize the obsession he had with harassing them rubs me the wrong way still. But now everything is going back to normal, or as normal as a place like Rosewood can be. Here and there the girls still are distant, but I don't take it to heart as much as I used to because I get that they are grieving still. I've been there and it takes a while to get used to it. I don't say get "over it" because death will never be something to get over.

"I heard Toby was spotted in town." Mona tells me about a week later while we are sitting at a campfire for her birthday.

Mona's birthday party has been pretty hectic. First of all, this is not my forte since it's been more of a "glamping" than actual camping, because it has aspects of it being like a girls slumber party. However, I humored the birthday girl by coming. She even invited Spencer, Aria and Emily since she's mine and Hanna's friends. But the problem is that Mona uninvited Hanna days ago when a rumor of Hanna getting liposuction to lose weight spread around and it rubbed Mona the wrong way. So she isn't even here and I'm shocked that the others bothered to join.

"Who said he's around?" I ask and stare at her with raised eyebrows, "He's been gone for like a month."

"Riley's dad is a cop and she overheard him talking on the phone about getting a tip that Toby is somewhere around."

I twirl my marshmallow in the fire, thinking about if Toby is back it would be stupid, because everyone still thinks he's guilty in both Emily's attack and Alison's murder. Since people think that he killed Ali they also believe that he was attempting to do the same to Emily. Toby is smart, he wouldn't come back for no reason. Especially since a week ago everyone thought he was dead when his motorcycle was found wrecked as if he crashed and his body was never found. But if he is here, then I don't know what he's thinking.

"I think he's innocent." I'm not looking at her but I can tell she's watching me, and most likely with disappointment.

"Oh, Jessie…" yep, there's the disappointed tone. "You have a sweet spot for everyone. He's wanted for murder and attempted murder. Toby has always been a freak. There's no way he didn't do this."

I bite down on my lip a bit, trying not to get angry as I wish I had someone else to hangout with. The girls have been MIA all day. I rode here with Aria and I have a tent with her and the girls, but they haven't stayed in one spot the entire time. I keep losing them and ending up with Mona majority of the time. I love her and it's her birthday, but she makes me want to punch her in the face when she starts acting like other people don't have feelings.

So now she's just blabbing away about nonsense and I'm only half listening at this point. Then I see her get to her feet and she looks annoyed. I stare up at her with her black hoodie on now that it's getting chilly out, which is the same hoodie the rest of us are wearing with the words Camp Mona on the back of them.

"What's wrong?"

"Pretty sure I saw Noel."

I stare over to where she is and don't see anyone other than her friends walking around, "Doesn't he know that guys aren't allowed."

She smiles at what I said, I guess liking that I pay attention when she talks and stares down at me, "Exactly. So I'm going to go give him a piece of my mind."

I laugh, "He probably tried to sneak in to see Aria now that they are dating."

"Not during my party he isn't. They can get freaky some other time."

I scrunch up my nose, "I did not need that picture in my head, Mona."

She laughs and then winks at me before she walks off. Her walking away doesn't even give me a chance to say I want to go too, because I don't like a lot of the people who are here.

Once she's out of sight I get to my feet and decide to take a walk. That's when I finally find the girls not too long later, all of them heading off towards the parking lot. I've had enough of wondering where they go so I chase after them, just managing to see Hanna running over to where they are standing. Obviously she wasn't invited, but Hanna being Hanna she's probably determined to get her best friend back and came anyway.

Now confused I start to walk faster towards them, but then things go terribly wrong when a car comes out of nowhere and rams into Hanna. My mouth drops as I hear the screeching sound of tires and a loud BANG afterward, making me stop in my tracks when I realize the bang is from Hanna getting hit. My heart sinks to my stomach when I see that car plow into Hanna, her body flying up and over the car and then rolls onto the pavement. The memories of my family scatter into my brain, the loud crashing that happened, my parents and brothers voices, my head slamming into the window before blacking out. All of it and I feel sick to my stomach. I can't breathe for a second as it all swarms back, but then I feel reality set in and I feel more sick when I see Hanna is just laying on her stomach but not moving, as if she's dead. This can't be happening again.

My friend's voices echo in my ears now as they call her name and then run to her. That's when my body and mind seem to come back to reality and I rush after all of them. All I hear is their frantic voices of panic as they kneel beside her, trying to keep her awake before her eyes close. Spencer starts to scream for help and Aria has her phone to her ear, calling an ambulance just as I come to a stop next to them.

"I saw what happened." I say out of breath and get onto my knees on Hanna's other side.

"That car came out of nowhere." Spencer half sobs and stares at me when I set my hand to Hanna's body gently, trying to see if anything is broken.

"I know." My teeth are softly clenched from trying not to cry because they are hysterical, "But she's alive." I add as I check her pulse.

A commotion of voices start to swarm from across the lot now and I turn my head towards the entrance of the camp, Mona's friends are gathering. This night couldn't get any worse.

...

When the ambulance comes to the camp I can't even process what's happening. I feel like I'm about to pass out as I'm practically reliving the worst day of my life from my own accident. The only thing I'm able to hear after a while is my own heartbeat in my ears, my brain foggy and light headed. Then I feel a hand grab onto my forearm after the cops eventually forced me back behind the barrier they made once they asked me questions, the other girls still with the police. I turn my head from the touch, my breath picks up, flashes of my past scattering my vision as I'm just able to grasp that it's Mona.

"What happened?" She asks, but her voice is far away. "Is that Hanna?"

I blink slowly, nodding but not able to speak right away. "She...she got run over by a car."

Her face pales, staring at me with wide eyes. "W-What?"

I blink again, everything feeling to be more slowly paced than before. The shock is swarming me as the flashes pick up with a mix of my family and now Hanna in my memories. I see our car flipping over, Ezra helping me, the car exploding, Hanna running through the parking lot and then the car speeding into her body like nothing. "Someone...hit her." Is what I manage to say as my voice cracks a bit.

She watches me for a while, her hand now on my shoulder as if trying to relax me. But it should be the other way around considering that's her best friend who just got run down. "You saw it didn't you?" She asks gently, "When the car hit her."

My eyes land on hers more focused now as I nod, gulping. "It was horrible. It's like….like she was just garbage on the road as the car rammed into her. Then sped off like it didn't matter." I look back at the spot it happened, then see the ambulance with Hanna in it leaving.

"Jessie, breathe. Okay?" She sets her hand to my chin to make me look at her again, my eyes glazed over a bit. "I know it's a lot to handle and brings back a lot of memories. But we have to make sure Hanna is okay, yeah?"

I gulp again and nod, taking a breath just as the girls end up by us and Mona let's go of my face to look at them. They all have looks of being scared and shocked, which is understandable. "We are gonna head to the hospital too." Spencer tells us, "She wasn't conscious."

My stomach turns and I feel sick again, "She was still breathing though?"

They all nod now, "As far as we could tell." Emily says, but her voice is scratchy.

"We'll meet you there." Mona says, gripping my arm a bit like she needs the support to stay standing now.

I don't hesitate to set my other hand onto hers on my arm, my eyes still glued to the girls with a nod in agreement. They seem a little hesitant about it but they don't argue as they just tell us okay and go back to get their things. Me and Mona do the same after she tells everyone to find a ride home because the party is over.

On the ride to the hospital we had taken her car considering I had originally gone to the camp with Aria. I'm the one driving because she's so distracted, everything is so quiet that it would have been possible to hear a pencil drop. When I turn to look at her I can tell that her gaze is distant.

I set my hand to her leg to bring her back from being in her head, and I feel her move it a bit as if she realizes. "Hey." I say to her gently, "Talk to me."

A few seconds of silence and her hand lands in mine, grasping it tightly when she links her fingers between mine. "She's going to be okay, right?"

My stomach flips, because I'm the worst person to ask considering my track record with car accidents is horrible. "I can't answer that, Mona. But we know that Hanna is stubborn enough to fight through this."

She softly smiles at me now, seeing a hint of a spark in them. "She is stubborn isn't she?"

I smile back at her and nod, making sure my eyes are on the road. I'm glad I could get her to crack a smile a bit, but it's hard to keep this pace knowing that Hanna is hurt. So I take a soft breath," I just wish I could have stopped whoever did this to her. I wanna ring their neck."

I see her look at me in the corner of my eye and I turn to look when we get to a light, the darkness in her eyes are kind of alarming. She seems to be looking right through me before the darkness goes away and she just nods and stares out the window, her hand still in mine. "Me too."

...

Hanna wasn't awake when we got there, the girls and her mom were all sitting in the waiting room. They told us that she broke her leg and had to get stitches on her head. Other than that she was okay, but she never woke up the entire time. So after a couple hours of waiting, it was late, so we all took off when Hanna's mom told us she'd let everyone know when she's up. I drive Mona home so she doesn't have to worry and then Aria picks me up there. The ride home was just as silent as it had been with Mona, and now it was more alarming to see how much Hanna has impacted a lot of people.

When we get back to the house and climb up the steps it's a cloud of silence and sadness. Her dad and brother are asleep from it being so late, having no issues to be stopped to talk about it. But we both know that by tomorrow morning it will get around town what happened to Hanna, and her dad and Mike will be all over us with questions. So for the moment we are both glad we get that breather. The only thing that I need to worry about is being there for her. Hanna is both of our friends, but I know she's been close to Hanna since they were both tossed into Alison's group. The concept of wanting to be there for her, but not knowing if she wants me to be is a struggle in my own head.

Once I'm done showering and get back to our room I see that she's curled into a ball on her bed. For a second I'm not sure how to react, but then I put my dirty clothes into the hamper and slowly walk over to her before sitting on the edge of the bed and leaning against her headboard. She doesn't seem to realize I'm here, the blanket tight around her body. So after a few long seconds of watching her blanking out I place my hand onto the spot of her blanket where her arm would be and softly rub my thumb onto it. That's when her eyes seem to blink for the first time and they shift towards my face.

I smile gently at her, eyes a little sad. "Hey, Ria."

A tiny smile creeps up onto her face. It seems forced but I don't blame her. "You think she'll be okay?"

I take a soft breath and rub her head now, her body relaxing more from the comfort. "Hanna is tough. She is going to be fine. Little bruised, but fine."

Her soft smile creeps in as she stares at me, and it makes me not able to help but smile back. Yeah, I can see she is completely out of it but the fact I'm able to get even a crack of a smile at a time like this is progress. "I'm going to make hot chocolate."

Her eyes widened in happiness, "Yes, please."

I laugh and nod, making a playful salute. "Yes, ma'am."

She laughs and I get to my feet, walking over to the door and then head downstairs to the kitchen. The rest of the night was mellow. We talked most of the night from not being able to sleep, our phones eventually buzzing from our friends as it spread through town that Toby was arrested. He'd been picked up at the church in town around midnight, a couple hours after Hanna got hit. He had been waiting for someone to pick him up and instead he was surprised by the police. No one knows who ratted Toby out, but this night was getting crazier by the minute. As if it was just getting started.
