The Vanderwaal Twin (slow updates)

21) monsters in the end

Naomi, Hanna, Aria, Spencer, and Emily were all at the grill after Spencer informed them what happened.

"Do you think somebody rubbed that sweater on your bracelet" Aria asked Spencer.

"Somebody" Emily asked. "Try Ian he's doing everything he can to make you look guilty your parents should hire you a 24-hour bodyguard" Emily said.

"Or two or three 24-hour bodyguards it may just be me, but Ian sure gives me the creeps" Naomi said.

"What about Jenna what if she paid Caleb to get that bracelet" Aria asked. "Wait, when was Caleb in Spencer's house" Emily asked.

"He doesn't need an invitation Em he broke into a vending machine with a spork" Aria said and Naomi saw Hanna's expression. "Hey maybe we should cool it with the Caleb talk" Naomi said.

"Guys I think somebody's watching us" Spencer said and they looked. "Those they're for the founder's festival" Emily said.

"Yeah, well festival or not they're creepy" Naomi said.

"Man, if that's what Rosewood's founding family looked like how did they ever get anyone to move here" Aria asked. "And why were they allowed to reproduce" Spencer asked.

"Guys if Caleb was" Emily said. "Em" Naomi said. "Could we stop using the C word" Hanna asked.

"We know this is hard for you okay, but we have to talk about Ca, him" Aria told Hanna.

"If we wanna help Spencer we have to know what Caleb knows" Emily said. "Guys there's definitely somebody out there" Spencer said.

"Maybe if Emily and I cornered Caleb not in school but somewhere that's Jenna free" Aria said. "If Caleb's gonna talk to anyone it's gonna be me" Hanna said. "Will you do it" Emily asked.

"To help Spencer sure" Hanna said. "Are you sure" Naomi asked and Hanna nodded. "Thanks Hanna" Spencer said.

They all got up to leave when Emily and Naomi noticed Spencer stayed.

"Spencer, are you going" Emily asked. "Yeah" Spencer said. "Come on it's just a creepy costume nothing more" Naomi said and they left the grill.

Mona and Naomi went over to Hanna's before school. "Knock, knock" Mona said when she and Naomi walked in.

"In here Mona" Hanna said and Mona and Naomi went in the kitchen. "Morning Ms. M" Mona said to Ashley. "Morning" Naomi said. "Hi" Ashley said.

"Ooh can I steal some of that coffee" Mona asked. "Sure" Ashley said, and Mona as Naomi went over to her while Ashley filled up Mona's cup.

"Naomi sissy you want something for the road before we leave" Mona asked her. "Uh no thanks I'll pass" Naomi said and Mona nodded.

"Is sketchy boy gone for good" Mona asked Hanna. "Mona" Naomi said. "Yes, Mona he's gone" Hanna said. "You girls ready" Hanna asked. "Yeah" Naomi said.

"Hanna can I just say something" Mona asked. "This is all my fault" Mona said. "What" Hanna said.

"Mona this isn't your fault what are you saying" Naomi asked.

"I knew he was gonna disappoint you in a major way and I blame myself for not stepping up to protect you" Mona said to Hanna. "Mona" Hanna said.

"No, I mean it a big part of me never trusted him and if I'd been a better friend, I would have told him to get lost before he unzipped his ready duffel bag, I hate seeing you get hurt" Mona said.

"She's not the only one I hate it too" Naomi said. "Well, I'm not hurt" Hanna said. "Han" Naomi said.

"Can we go" Hanna asked. Mona took her cup and she, Hanna, and Naomi left.
