Frozen in Time

Chapter 20

The next morning I went home, with a totally new feeling.

A new feeling about everything.

Without love what's the point of anything?

~•~

"Hey, your late?" Emily formed it in a question, knowing I'm never late.

"Sorry, I had to take Mike to practice," I sat down and laid my purse on the black iron table.

"On a Sunday?"

"Yeah, some sort of new thing! They got a new coach so everything's changing!"

"I see," I could tell she didn't believe me, but as long as she didn't figure out what I was lying about I didn't really care.

"Hey you guys, I just saw like a million police officers at Alli's house!" Hanna said walking up.

"I'll get Spencer,"Emily jumped up from the table and ran into The Brew.

"How are you out of the hospital?" I asked.

"Since they didn't have to remove anything they gave me some fluids and let me loose!" she responded.

We all met up down the street from Alli's house and walked there together. A giant crowd of police men and camera crews were crowding around her yard.

"What the hell is going on?" Hanna shouted at one of the reporters.

"They found a body, the body," she stated.

"What do you mean the body?" I asked my voice shaking.

"The body of that girl that went missing last summer!"

I could feel Spencer's breathing quiver as it hit the back of my neck. I got goosebumps and Hanna grabbed my arm. She was shaking.

"You know! Alison Dilaurentis," she said it as if she was a prize.

It made me sick.

We could almost hear Emily falling backwards.

Spencer had to catch her before she hit the concrete.

Or else there would be two people in body bags.
