The Outspoken Liar

Twenty five

Belle couldn't believe her sister and friends had to see a therapist as herself had to see a different one because of anxiety and nightmares. She never thought she would have dreams of her being attacked, but she we was. Sighing, Belle grabbed a book she hasn't touched in a long time. The book she wrote to Ali after her disappearance. The only person who would make her feel better.

Dear Alison,
I don't know what to do anymore. I'm not allowed around my own twin or our friends because of the night I was attacked. There's also the nightmares that I have to deal with. I'm scared....

A knock caught her attention causing her to see Toby, Belle ran and hugged him as Mike saw them. "Are you okay, Belle?"

"I'm okay, Mike." She tells him. "I'll be fine."

Mike nodded as he walked away. He stopped seeing Belle drag Toby inside her room. He laughed and shook his head as he went down the hall. He knows he should tell Toby that the sessions aren't working. "Mom."

Ella saw her daughter sitting away from her twin and friends. They all weren't together, but Belle wasn't able to speak to them. She sighed as she walked over to her. "Hey, sweetie, is everything okay?"

"Not really." She tells her. "I keep having dreams of being attacked and what could have happened if no one found me." A tear fell down her cheeks. "I don't know what to do, mom. I don't want to speak to them because they don't see what's happening and I don't know why I'm being a victim. I'm not a victim..."

"Right now, you are. Ian attacked you..."

"That's because he was made out to be a murder and an insane person. Spencer told us somethings and not once did anyone think of the consequence. I love my friends, but till there is enough evidence to prove someone is innocent, don't talk."

Ella sighed as Belle left. She didn't know what to do. Her youngest was very upset from the attack and having to speak out towards everyone. She wants her lovable Isabelle. Aria saw her sister making wish there was a better way to help her sister. Ella stood up and helped her daughter up. "I'll call Toby here. Come on, I think you need some time alone. So when he gets here. I'll sign you out and he can take you wherever."

"Thanks, mom."
