It had been days since Aria had ventured out of her bedroom, so the four girls decided it was time to intervene. They entered Aria's bedroom armed with two bags of Chinese takeout and a pile of magazines. Aria was laying on her bed, sadly listening to music with her headphones on. Spencer walked over to Aria and plucked an earbud out of her ear. "What are you doing?" Aria asked, rolling over to face the girls.
"An intervention," Spencer said.
"We brought takeout," Ronnie said, showing the brunette the two takeout bags before placing them on the table next to Aria's bed.
"And rag mags," Emily added, tossing the pile of magazines down next to Aria.
"But you cannot have any of those until you get out of these sweats," Hanna said, patting Aria's leg, from where she sat by Aria's feet.
"Why? What's wrong with these?" Aria asked, sitting up on her bed.

"What do you mean you're not going?" Hanna asked
"You can't just not go," Spencer said.

"Hey, look, cutting yourself off from the rest of your life is not gonna help your parents. and besides, they still might work it out," Spencer told Aria, trying to cheer her up at least a little bit.
"They're barely speaking to each other," Aria said, looking up at the other girl.
"People get angry. they blow up. Doesn't mean it's over," Emily said.
"Emily, they didn't blow up over her dad missing their anniversary. He slept with one of his students," Hanna said, turning to Emily.
"Hanna," Ronnie scolded, hitting the blonde lightly on the arm.
