The next morning the girls were sitting down in Spencer's kitchen and Aria showed them the letter she had received from A. "A sent this letter to my mum" Aria explained. "You know it's not your fault, right?" Emily said. "It's your dad's mistake. Totally" Aria sighed. "No, it's my fault" Aria explained. "You didn't hook up with her and them ask your kid to cover for you" Spencer said

"Ali said I should've told my mum right after it happened" Aria told them

"Wait what?" Bella asked confused. "Ali? Alison knew?" Emily asked. "Yeah she was with me" Aria admitted. "So Alison saw this Meredith person?" Spencer asked her. "Meredith? Her name's Meredith? Ew. That's not a cute girl name. I'm seeing big pores and mousy roots" Hannah said and Bella smirked. "Han, i think it's a little to soon to joke" Spencer whispered. "I'm sorry. But if you gonna cheat do it with someone who deep conditions her hair" Hannah said

"Here, put something in your mouth besides your food" Spencer said and gave her a croissant. Hannah turned her attention to Aria. "I'm sorry, okay? Look, all I'm saying is when my dad left laughing sometimes helped. So did crying" Hannah apologized

Aria stood up because she was sitting on the couch before. "My father hasn't left, guys. I mean, this happened over a year ago" she explained and the girls looked at each other. "You thing he's gonna leave?" Aria asked them

"Look, whatever happens, we're here for you" Emily explained. "Thank you, guys, for staying here" Spencer said. "When's your family getting back" Hannah asked. "I don't know" Spencer said. "This afternoon" the girls turned around and Trevor stood there. "Where are you going, Trev?" Spencer asked her older brother

"first stop calling me that. And I'm going for a walk" He left, but smiled at Bella before that. Emily saw it and smirked. "Idiot" Spencer said. "Aren't you gonna clean off the mirror?" Aria asked. "Want me to come with?" Emily asked and Spencer nodded. "Let's all go" Bella said. "You know what? It doesn't take five to clean a mirror so why don't you four to and I'll just wait here?" Hannah said

"Fine, ok. You stay down here. Alone" Aria said. "But make sure you lock the door" Emily said. "Right. You spray. I'll wipe" Hannah said. The girls smiled and Hannah followed them until her phone rang. "Well, the creature's back" Hannah said. "We should've never unblocked our phones" Hannah said

"Ever wonder what's going on when your back is turned? -A" Hannah read

"That's us" Aria whispered. A sent them a video where the girls are on. "Was that shot from inside your closet?" Aria asked Spencer. The girls looked scared. "A was watching us" Spencer said

"Let's go upstairs" Bella said and they walked in Spencers room. Spencer opened her closet and the girls screamed when something fall out of it. "Guys.. Check it out" Aria opened a red lipstick. She tested it on and compares it to the one on the mirror

It was exactly the same and everyone was speechless

Bella and the other girls have been home for an hour now. Bella sat in her room and read a book while her dad was probably in a bar. Drunk

Bella sighed and put the book away. She was bored. Sometimes she wish she would have any siblings she can talk to. Bella looked at her phone and took her school bag

Emily texted her that the girls should meet at Spencer's locker. "Hey Bel" Hanna greeted her and Bella smiled

"You cannot seriously think that a blind girl broke into my house. That would take a lot more than a talking GPS" Spencer said. "Well, I didn't say that Jenner was alone" Aria said. "You can't blame it in Toby" Bella said, trying to protect Toby

"Why not? You guys think her guide dog left behind his lipstick?" Aria said. "Yeah, do you wanna ask what your lab partner was doing last night, Emily? If he maybe took a break from sitting on his porch pulling heads off squirrels" Spencer asked

"Spencer? Sorry didn't mean to interrupt but I hope you're proud of your as I am," a teacher say and hold up a letter. "Congratulations. My instincts were right. This just makes it official" he gave Spencer the letter and walk away

"What's that about?" Aria asked when Spencer put the letter in her locker. "An essay contest" she answered. "Wait, did you win it? Aren't you gonna open the envelope?" Emily asked

"Why should she? She wins an award for waking up" Hanna said. "Yeah. I guess you won, Spence" Bella said and Spencer smiled nervous

The bell rang and everyone went into their class. But Bella had a free period so she decided to walk trough the school halls. "Free period?" a male voice asked. Bella turned around and saw Trevor. "Yep. You also have one, I guess" she said with a smile. He smirked. "Well, not really. I skip Mr. Fitz's lessons" he said. "You do?". "Yeah. I don't really like him" Trevor said

"I thought I would be the only one who don't like him" Bella said and laughed a bit. "No you definitely aren't" he said and laughed too. "Sorry for not saying hello to you when you all stood in the kitchen. I had to hurry" he apologized, worried that Bella would be mad at him but she smiled. "It's fine, don't worry" he smiled

"Well, I need to go now. See you soon?" Bella said. "See you" he said with a smile

Bella went to the café because her, Spencer and Hannah want to meet there.She was tired but also a bit happy. She likes talking to Trevor. They don't talk often but when they talk he's totally nice and sweet

"Hey guys so sorry for being late" she apologized. "Don't worry about it" Spencer said and Hannah nodded. She sat down next to Hannah. "Here. I saved it. Just in case" Spencer said and show them the lipstick

"That's the lipstick Jenna was putting on in the elevator" Hannah said. "Which elevator?" Bella asked. "Long story. But I saw Jenna wearing that lipstick" Hannah said

"Are you sure?" Spencer asked. "Yes. It's Alison's color" Hannah said and Bella took the lipstick and look at it. "It is. Same shade, same tube" Bella said. "What I'm wondering is why was Jenna in an empty room for an hour?" Hannah asked

"I think we should call the police. There are fingerprints on this tube" Spencer said. "Well, yeah, ours" Bella said. "If you two want me to answer more questions, let me get in the office, see what I find" Hannah suggested

Hannah looked at Toby who sat there and read a book. "Have you gotten any more e-mails?" Hannah asked them

"Not since this morning" Spencer said. "Yes, neither do I. Have you?" Bella asked. Hannah shook her head. "No. I'm just wondering" she said. The door of the café opened and Emily walk in. She smiled at Toby. "Emily. Hey, what are you doing here?" Spencer asked

Emily walked over to them and Toby looked comfused. "Uh- I was just-- I--" Emily wanted to say something but Spencer interrupted her. "Hannah had a run-in with Jenna Marshall today. Sit down" she said

The girls talked about Hannah's new job and explained to Emily the thing with the lipstick, but Bella looked at Toby. He left the café disappointed and Emily looked at him with pity. 'Did the two want to meet? And why didn't Emily tell us the truth?' Bella thought

"Guys I need to go home. See you tomorrow at school?" Bella asked and the girls nodded

Bella ran out. "Hey, wait a minute!" she told Toby. "What do you want?" he asked. "Look, I'm so sorry that we interrupted your and Emily's meeting" Bella apologized. "How do you know about our meeting?" he asked the girls. "Well, it was pretty obvious to be honest" she admitted. "I need to go now" he said annoyed. "Okay.. Bye" she said confused

It was the next morning and Bella laid in her bed. She hummed a song and starred at the ceiling. "BELLA COME DOWNSTAIRS!" her dad yelled. Bella twitched and walked down anxiously. "Yes?.." she asked. "Clean up!" he demanded. "But dad, I have schoo-". "I don't fucking care! I will meet with girls and you will clean up!" he yelled at her. "I will.." she whispered and her father left the house. Bella cleaned the kitchen for 1 hour

She sighed after she finished. She got messages from Spencer, Emily, Aria and Hannah. They asked her why she wasn't in school today. Bella put her phone away without answering and leaned against the wall

She missed her mum so fucking much
