The Outspoken Liar

Four

Belle was glad that her friends and sister agreed to making the memorial more public instead. She was looking at the the spots where the can put it when Spencer brought up the A proof plan. Belle looked at Spencer and sighed. "I'm sure A will find another way to torture us."

"Belle, it's the only way to end our torture."

Belle rolled her eyes when she spotted their teacher. "Wow." She replies. "I never thought I'll see a teacher jogging."

The others look. Belle scrunched her nose up as she heard the comments. The wind blew making Belle see a paper coming to them. Spencer picked it up and unraveled it.

Ding dong! The bitch is dead. -A

"On second thought."

The following day, Belle smiled as she arrived at school. She didn't want to be stuck in an awkward situation at home. She knows about her father's affair, but she refuses to say anything. She might just tell her soon. "Hi Emily." She replies making Emily look at her.

"Hey."

"I see Hanna is on the phone." She said as Hanna hung up. "Is everything okay?"

"My dad is in town." She tells them as they reached the others.

Belle didn't care what the dinner date was about as she had to go to chemistry with Emily. "Guys, let Hanna be happy to spend time with her father." Belle replies. "It's not like it's about Sean's car. He just wants to see his daughter."

"Thank you, Belle."

The bell rang causing the girls to walk off to class. Belle saw Toby and Mark. "Hello, Belle. We've been transferred to this class." Toby tells her.

"That's fine with me." She replies as Emily looked at her crazy.

Emily grabbed Belle and walked them in. "Seriously."

"What?" Belle said. "It's not my fault that people are misjudging him." Belle shook her head and sat down.

Toby took a seat beside Belle making her look up from writing. She smiled as class started making her face the front. Hearing a book slam close, Belle turned and looked at Emily. Emily just smiled at Belle making her confuse.

Belle walked in to see her mom. 'Where is everyone?" She asked as she walked over.

"Aria is out and so is Mike. It will be me and your father."

Belle sighed and hugged her mom. "Mom, I think dad is having an affair." She tells her. "He has been working none stop since we came back."

"Oh Belle." Ella said as she hugged her daughter. "If he was I'm sure you or Aria would have figured it out, but since you express your concerns, I will see what you are worried about."

Belle nodded as she was glad to have that off her chest. Even though she didn't exactly come out that he was cheating, but she was glad it's out there.

The next day, Belle listened to Hanna talk about last night as Belle was thinking of her parents. When class started, Belle sat down as Mr. Fitz walked in. The discussion was on 'To Kill A Mockingbird.' She heard Sperling replying to Mr. Fitz when he jumped Sperling.

Belle sat shocked at the sudden outburst. She didn't say a word as she went back to writing in a book.

After class, Belle was walking to her locker as Emily followed just to see Toby and Mark. Belle stopped halfway when Toby opened his locker for shaving cream to fall out. She heard laughing and threw her books down. "Get out of here, jerks." She tells them making them run.

Emily watched Belle help Toby and Mark before walking away.
~~~
Sometime that night, Belle ran to Emily's in tears after seeing the letter A sent. Her name wasn't on the paper just Aria's as Belle confessed, but in a different way. "Belle?" Emily said as Toby looked up and Mark look at the crying girl. "What's wrong?"

"Dad's affair." She replies in tears. "Can I stay with you?"

"Sure." Emily replies.

Belle looked at Toby and smiled sadly before she walked away.

Sometime that night, Emily and Belle arrived at the Hastings after an SOS was sent to them. Belle stopped as she saw the message in Spencer's room.

It won't be that easy, bitches. -A
