She's Broken

Chapter Five

Aria POV (Month later)
After a week in the hospital and three weeks of keeping it easy at home. Ali, Jason and I were cleared to go back to work and school, yay! Hanna has officially been in Radley for a month, where she couldn't do any harm.

I'm beginning to become scared at all times, now. I have started to jump every time their is a loud noise. Even when my phone rings I jump. I have officially quit cutting it was hard at first but I'm good now. Ali has really helped me. So has Ezra. I feel safe with him.

My Dad is such a coward; He took off with Meredith. He acts like he cares but he doesn't. It really doesn't matter to me. He hated Ezra...And I love Ezra.

Mom moved in with us. A lot has happened in a week. I've gained 5 pounds which is good for me. Ali and I are going to The Brew before we go back home we just want some time out of the house. And away from the hospital.

"Ready?" Ali asks. I nod my head as we climb into my car. I turn on the music and we started busting out to the song "Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé. We pull into the parking lot of The Brew just as the song ends.

"Are you ready?" I ask Ali. She nods her head even though I can she's not. I'm not completely but it's been a month I need to get out.

"We don't have to if your not ready." I say. She nods her head and turns her gaze to me.

"It's now or never." She tells me as we climb out of the car. We walk in and everyone's eyes fall onto us.

"How about you take a picture, it will last longer." I snap. Ali puts a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Calm down." Ali tells me I nod my head yes. As I go sit down at our table with my coffee something catches my eye. Not something. Someone. I rush over to Alison.

"Ali. Turn around." I say. She turns around and gasps. Their standing at the door was Hanna Marin and Mona Vanderwaal. Ali and I stand their frozen in our places. Hanna walks over to us.

"Isn't it the Bitches who got me sent away. Im surprised you would even show your faces around here." Hanna comments.

"Look who is talking. At least we didn't shoot three people." I say. Hopefully she doesn't kill me.

"Yeah well I'm not the Bitch who faked her death or the Tramp who is dating her Former English Teacher." Hanna snaps back. I shake my head no.

"Wow, Hanna. You really have changed. The difference is when we were friends, you weren't such a bitch." Ali says before we walk over to our table. Mona comes and sits with us. I could tell she had fear in her eyes when she stood by Hanna.

"What the hell do you think your doing, Mona?" Hanna shouts as she sits with us.

"I don't want to be your friend anymore, Hanna. I don't like seeing you like this." Mona says.

"Like what?" Hanna asks angrily.

"Like a Bitch." Mona spats. Wow. I didn't know she had it in her. Hanna lunges for Mona as Ali and I pull her out of the way.

"Hanna! Stop! This isn't you!" I yell. She doesn't listen instead she throws a chair. Ali, Mona and I back away trying to stay safe. I see Ezra walk in when Hanna runs up behind him.
