Liars Best Friend

Chapter 7

(Dress above is the picture she wears to the dance)

Tonight is the night of the school dance, let me just say, I hate dances so I'm not in a good mood.

Walking around the gym, I see Jason and take a breath. We haven't talked to each other since the breakup and I'm nervous as hell.

When he sees me, he walks over and stares. It's really kinda awkward. Being near your ex without saying a word.

"How have you been?" I asked breaking the silence.

"Good. You look great, by the way."

"Thanks, you do too. I'm surprised to even see you at a school dance."

"Chaperone."

"Oh."

We just stood there awkwardly as music blared and people either danced or walked by us.

"Un, I guess I should go. I see Mona. Uh, see you around," I said walking passed him.

"Candy! Hey," she said smiling.

"Hey, Mona. You look beautiful," I said as we hugged.

"Thank you, so do you," she responded happily as we pulled away. "I just hope A isn't here tonight."

"Me too."

Maybe I should've mentioned that Mona started getting texts/threats from A. It's all my fault though. If I hadn't been her friend, she wouldn't be getting attacked.

"Hey, I need you and Spencer to come with me," she said as the girls showed up and walked our way.

"What? Why?" I asked.

"Because I think I found something and I could really use your guys help."

"Okay. Let's do it," I said. "You cool with that Spence?"

"Yeah. Let's go."

The three of us left to Mona's car and drove towards the disgusting motel in the middle of nowhere.

When we arrived, we walked in and couldn't believe what we saw. A's lair. It's filled with a bunch of stuff.

"Hey, I think I left something in the car," Mona said.

"Want me to come with you?" I asked.

"Sure. Thanks," she said as we walked to the car.

"No problem. Mona, how have you been doing, you know with the texts?" I asked when we reached it.

"Good," she said before I felt a pain in my head and everything turned dark.

Waking up I see Mona driving dangerously fast and Spencer still knocked out.

"Mona," I started pulling out my phone, "why are you doing this? Why would you attack us?"

"I was a nobody. And you all let Alison be a bitch to anyone she talked to," she responded as Spencer started to wake up.

"I didn't. Mona, me and Hanna are your best friends, why would you do this to us?"

"Be on the A team and I won't crash this car."

Spencer named the road we are on and I hung up my phone. I can't believe Mona, sweet Mona, would do this to us.

We see a car up ahead and Mona stops ours, and makes us get out. The other car stopped as well and we saw the girls come out.

"Mona, put the gun down," I said as she made me walk towards the cliff.

"No. My life was ruined!"

"Mona, please. Put the gun down," Hanna said walking toward her.

Before Mona could respond, Spencer shoved her over the cliff, but Mona grabbed my arm and I fell with her.

The last thing I saw was worried faces on the girls as they called the police. After that,everything went dark.

I hear things first. Then I wake up and see I'm in the hospital with my parents, friends, and Jason in the room asleep.

"Mom?" I asked.

"Oh, honey," she said waking up then hitting my dad's arm. "Are you okay?"

"Can I have some water?" I asked.

She nodded and both of my parents left as everyone else started to wake up.

"How long was I out?" I asked changing my position on the bed.

"A day or so. How are you feeling?" Emily asked.

"I'm pretty freakin tired. What happened? Where's Mona?"

"I think I'll go to the waiting room," Jason said then left.

"Guys, where's Mona?"

No answer.

"Hanna?"

"She's in Radley," Hanna replied looking down as a tear slid down her cheek.

"I need to go see her," I said trying to get up.

"What? No," Spencer said as they tried to put me back in bed.

"Yes, I have to talk to her. Let me talk to her," I said trying to get up again.

As I kept trying to get up, nurses came in and told the girls to leave. After a few minutes of trying to escape, they stick a needle in my arm and I slowly fell asleep.
