0222- Father Knows Best

Getting ready for school is an unnecessarily long process.

Once I'm dressed and ready I head downstairs.

My mother and father are talking in hushed whispers to each other as I head into the kitchen.

"Morning G!" My mom smiles at me, turning her attention away from my father to me.

"You good?" Dad asks me and I nod.

"Sit I'll make you a coffee." Mom smiles at me as she slowly starts making my coffee.

"You hungry?" Dad asks.

"A little." I shrug.

"Wait." Mom spins around and heads towards my father, she stumbles as she does so.

My dad reaches out for her and catches her. He helps her stand properly, brushing her hair away from her face.

"I made chocolate covered strawberries." Mom smiles.

There is something definitely going on.

"Mom are you okay?" I ask.

It takes a minute for her to answer. My mom and dad seem to converse with their eyes. Telling each other how to answer.

"I'm okay hon. I promise." She smiles.

My dad doesn't say anything, he just stays holding her. He wraps his arm around her and holds her up.

"Strawberries." Mom gets a Tupperware out of the fridge and pushes them across the island to me.

Logan honks his car horn and I slide off of my stool.

"I'll see you later. Don't worry, I'll take these with me." I say and slip the Tupperware into my bag.

I get into Logan's car and he kisses my cheek.

"Morning." Logan glances down at my outfit.

"You look beautiful." He smiles at me.

"Thank you." I say and we head off to school.

"Do you think my mom is okay?" I ask.

"Uh..." he says awkwardly.

"You can say no." I tell him.

"Something's definitely up." He nods.

"Thank god." I sigh. I knew I wasn't going crazy.

"What do you think it is?" Logan asks.

"I don't know, maybe she's pregnant." I shrug.

My phone buzzes from my bag so I quickly dive through my bag for it.

Do mom and dad know you're watching murder mystery's. Bet that would kill them to find out.
-A

What the fuck?

"I'll see you later and we can have that talk." I say and he nods.

I climb out of the car, kiss Logan's cheek and head into school and find the girls on the courtyard.

"Hey did you guys get that text as well?" I ask the four of them.

"Yeah." They chime.

" I already told you Melissa can't be A." Spencer says to Hannah. Huh?

"Allison was getting texts from the law firm your sister interned at." Hannah says.

"Yes, but she explained that. Melissa just wanted Ali to leave Ian alone." Spencer says.

"So what? What I got chased by a house go for nothing?" Aria asks.

"You weren't chased." I roll my eyes.
