corruption
"Blair!"
"B!"
"Blair, are you up here?" Aria shouted, her hand gripping her bag closer to her hammering chest.
"Why don't we split up?" Spencer suggested, her mind racing with all kind of thoughts.
"Yeah, let's not do that" Hanna said,
shaking her head.
"Hanna, you can come with me."
"Who are you calling?" Emily asked the shorter brunette, her eyebrows furrowing.
"I'm trying her until she picks up" Aria replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. The four girls stood still, staring at the phone until a cellphone tone sounded from further down the hallway causing their heads to shoot up.
"Blair?"
"Is that blood?"

The following morning, the three girls gathered around the Parker girl's double bed, Blair tucked underneath the covers. After coming home from the hospital earlier that morning, Blair and Mrs Parker found the three liars sat on their doorstep looking more than worried.
"It was all in his shrink file." Aria spoke, watching as the brunette fiddled with the magazine on her lap.
"Toby and Jenna had a relationship" Emily said, giving Blair a sad smile. She too believed that there was some good in the Cavanaugh boy, but that thought had vanished the moment she read the file.
"Way beyond step-siblings" Spencer added.
"Yeah, they were... involved."
"Romantically?" Blair asked, her voice cracking slightly. She still couldn't wrap her head around what Spencer had shown her. All the signs were there but for some reason she couldn't believe it was fully true.
"I doubt I'd call it romantic" Aria said.
"I doubt she had much of a choice" Spencer scoffed.
"And that's what Alison saw when she threw the stink bomb?"
"Yeah, and she threatened to expose Toby, which is probably why've wanted her dead."
"And not just her. Us."
"Em? What do you think about this?" Blair asked, looking at the Fields girl who hasn't said much since she arrived.
"You don't believe us, do you?" Spencer asked, frowning.
"I do," Blair nodded, wincing slightly in pain. "I just don't get it. If Toby killed Ali and wanted to do the same to me, why am I sitting in my bed and not a body bag?"
"I told the police that I was feeling dizzy so I went to get some air, then tripped." The Parker girl explained.
"Why didn't you tell them he attacked you?"
"I didn't want to say anything" Blair shrugged. "Plus I wanted to talk to you guys first."
"Well, now you know the truth. You can tell them everything now" Spencer said.
"She can't tell them everything" Aria said, shaking her head. "You have to leave out the file, B."
"Fine. Leave the file out" Spencer huffed just as Hanna walked in, a annoyed look on her face.
