hartley greeted us.

"hey! where were you guys? i've been texting you for hours." she asked.

"don't. i know everything. oh, i've been at the junkyard with jake and starling." amy said, breath shaky.

"oh, boy." hartley said, turning around.

"how could you keep this all a secret from me?" amy asked.

i moved to be next to hartley, so i could face amy.

"look, i'm sorry! i was just trying to protect everyone! jake is my friend too, and when a friend asks to keep a secret, i do it." hartley explained.

"you know, for the first time in my life, i thought i actually made some real friends. people who'd be there for me, have my back. but you guys are just as bad as jake. and aria didn't even know anything about it!" amy said, eyes full of tears.

"amy, wait! i didn't even wanna keep this secret at all!" hartley tried to apologize.

"you know, i never wanted a best friend in the first place. let alone three." amy said, shaking her head and walking up the stairs. "now i know why."
