'you told him about A?!' Emily was surprised. 'ssh' Aria put her finger on her lips like Alison used to do. 'Not too loud Em, who knows if it's watching right now..' she said. She gently pushed the curtain of the fitting room away and walked out, towards her 3 best friends who were sitting on an expensive looking couch. their jaws dropped and they exaggerated gasping for air. 'Oh Aria that dress looks absolutely gorgeous on you!' Spencer shouted. Emily and Hanna nodded, indicating they agreed with Spencer. Aria was blushing. She turned around to the mirror. She looker at herself wearing simple strapless A-line dress that her mum chose for her. a little sparkle here and there on the neckline. The waist had been accented with white roses. It stayed silent a few minutes. 'So.. what did Ezra say?' Hanna asked. 'I wouldn't know since this is the first time I've put it on..' Aria responded as she frowned. She then realized Hanna wasn't talking about the dress. 'Oh.. about that.. he was very shocked. He hates it that he didn't see it happening again. He slapped himself in the face a couple of times for not noticing it. He is constantly bragging about the fact that he's the worst boyfriend in the world. But... he's scared too.. he knows now what A's capable of.' Aria's voice lowered in volume. She couldn't bare the image of Ezra's shocked and upset face any longer. 'Can we please talk about this another time, I have got a few other things to handle first. like my parents' wedding, which is tomorrow' she said. She walked towards her fitting room and went inside. She changed and got her stuff together 'guys I'm ready..' Aria said as she pushed away the curtain, looking at an empty couch. Aria walked into the shop again. She couldn't see them. Dresses were towering above her. She started shouting 'Emily?!! Hanna?!! SPENCER?!' nobody. She got her phone and called spencer.. it went straight to voicemail. That's not like Spencer. She always picks up her phone, it's never turned off. Aria started panicking. She dropped her dress on the ground and started running through the store. She almost bumped into the shopkeeper. 'I'm sorry Miss, are you looking for something?' the shopkeeper asked quite shocked. 'my friends. they are gone.. I tried calling them and they are gone' Aria uttered difficult. 'Nobody has been in here since you went to the fitting rooms. I'm sorry' the shopkeeper said. Aria's phone bleeped. Her eyes widened.
fittings and dresses and liars oh my, Who thought they would fit in the trunk of my car? kisses! -A
Aria gasped for air. A.. IT has them. IT has her friends!! She quickly came up with a lie 'they are outside... the dress fits by the way' she said to the shopkeeper with a trembling voice.
