chapter two
the jenna thing
⎯⎯⎯⎯

The girls had gone to The Apple Rorse Grille after the funeral. "Why was Jenna there?" Aria asked. "I guess she's back." Spencer responded. "That cop acted like we were suspects or something," Gwen said. "Do you think we look guilty?" Emily asked. "Why would we be? We haven't done anything wrong." Aria answered her. "Except lie about the Jenna thing." Hanna and Gwen spoke up. "We promised we'd never bring up the Jenna thing again, remember? It never happened." Spencer said.

"Have you found a way to forget? I still wake up sometimes in the middle of the night." Aria admitted as Gwen looked over at Hanna, who was pouring alcohol from her flask into her drink. "Aria, it was an accident." Spencer let out. As Hanna was screwing on the lid to her flask, she and Gwen saw an old man staring at her from across the restaurant, giving her a judgmental look. "It's medicinal." Hanna said to him, a smile on her face, but he kept looking. "Cramps." she deadpanned, making him look away and Gwen to chuckle as Spencer looked back at the man with a frown on her face before facing the girls again.

"I don't get it," Emily started. "How does 'A' know something about me that only Alison knew?" Emily asked. "Ali knew all of our secrets, but...we didn't know any of hers." Aria said, as she just realized. "I knew some." Spencer confessed, making them look at her. "Go on." Gwen encouraged her, but Spencer said nothing. "Talk," she demanded. "I can't." Spencer denied. "Spence, no, you are not gonna drop a bomb like that, and just clam up!" Aria responded, frustrated.

"She'd so kill me if I told you." Spencer said. "She's dead." Hanna deadpanned, making the girls look at her, which caused her so sigh, but raised her brow at Spencer. "Ali was seeing someone that Summer." Spencer confessed, making Emily look at her. "I knew she was keeping something from me... from us." Emily corrected herself. "Well, why didn't she want us to know?" Aria asked.

"He was an older boy, and he had a girlfriend." Spencer explained. "Who was it?" Emily asked. "She never told me his name." Spencer responded. "Okay, Spence, that's like, half a secret." Gwen told her. "It's more than you ever got from her." Spencer scoffed. "How was it that Ali told us nothing, and we told her everything?" Aria asked. "Because she made us feel like we were part of something special," Emily responded. "We were." Hanna smiled softly at her.

"I miss that." Gwen said softly. "Me too." Spencer added. "I miss Ali," Emily said, playing with a bracelet on her wrist, one that Alison had given her, and the others but they don't wear them anymore. "I can't believe you still wear that." Hanna remarked. "Ali still wears hers," Emily responded. "Wore." She corrected herself quickly. "When Ali didn't come home that night, I knew something terrible must have happened, but there was always some part of me that imagined someday she'd just show up." Spencer admitted.

"Yeah, I used to think that maybe she'd just... run off with some guy." Aria added. "She was laying on a beach somewhere." Emily spoke up. "Or getting a tan out by the pool with that hot lifeguard." Hanan laughed, making the others laugh as well. "Ohh. Yeah, what was his name?" Aria asked. "Who cares? 'Save me!'" Gwen imitated Alison, making the girls laugh until the door to The Apple Rorse Grille opened and the sound of a cane tapping on the floor, made them go silent.
