Not Again

~~~A/N~~~

Hey my loves! So, I'm sure by now, everyone has watched the 5th season finale of pll. If so, then you know who A is now. KNOWING JUST MAKES ME SUPERRRR ANGRY!! But, I'll survive. Lol but I just wanted to make sure that at least SOMEBODY keeps the mystery of A alive. And, I am honored to be one of those people. I mean, just because we know doesn't mean we can't create a totally different plot, motive and mastermind behind this whole 'game'. So, my lovelies, keep reading! I hope you enjoy.

p.s I'm sorry about the name mix up. Tori's boyfriend's name is Jake. Not Shawn. I will fix it.

No. No. No. This can't be happening. Im frozen to the ground beneath me as I stare at the text message. Why is this happening? What did I do this time? Hot tears begin rolling down my face. I begin to shiver as a chill runs down my spine. Still shivering, I get into my car and speed off back to my apartment. As I stop at a red light, I notice something on the floor passenger's side. Reaching over, I pick it up.

"No," I whisper in horror. It's a doll, with pink highlights. Just like the one A sent a few years ago to me and the other girls. "No. not again!" I yell. The light turns green and I take off once again. Has A contacted the other girls too? Or is it just me? If not, then why? Why now, after leaving us alone for a year? A got what he/she wanted. A split us apart. More and more tears spill down my face. This is all just too much, and all too familiar. Then it hits me. Ezra. The first time I got an A message was after I found out that Ezra was my teacher. Does A want me to stay away from Ezra? I park my car and race inside my apartment building. Holden is sitting on the sofa with Tori. They frown at me as I slowly close the door behind me.

"What happened?" Holden says as he runs toward me and pulls me into his arms. I tug out of his grasp. This is the last place I want to be right now.
"Im fine. I'll be fine," I say, trying my best to be brave. Wiping my tears, I walk towards the closet. After a few seconds of digging, I find my blue dufflebag. I need to speak with the girls but not over the phone. Tori and Holden both walk over to me.
"Aria, you're scaring us," Tori says. "What's going on?" Holden asks, taking the dufflebag from me. I look at the both of them. They actually looked concerned. For me. Why am I finding that hard to believe? I sigh and go sit on the sofa. I think Tori gets the wrong idea because, she suddenly begins to yell at me. Full volume.

"What the hell did Professor Fitz have to say to you! Oh my gosh, Aria! Did that bastard hurt you?!" For some reason, I begin to laugh. If only she knew the whole story. I realize that she actually does care about me, and she deserves to know more about me. After all, she's my bestfriend. And I think I need her more than ever right now. Holden frowns at me.

"You spoke to him, Aria? Why? About what?" He looks as if I betrayed him just by talking to Ezra. Even though it was more than that, I didnt betray him. Well not intentionally. I look at my knotted fingers and begin to speak.

"He's my teacher, again.Ezra just wanted to see if we could catch up. You know, just have coffee or something. Nothing major, Holden. Just, just please don't be upset with me." I look up and Holden nods his head as he sits beside me. Tori still looks confused. Knowing many questions might follow, I begin to explain.

"In 10th grade, Ezra, Professor Fitz, and I started dating. I know what you're thinking. Yes he was older, and yes he was my English teacher, but we had something. Something special," I say smiling. "We dated up until senior year, when I realized that he was using me. Everything I thought we had was a lie. It was all for a stupid book," My voice begins to crack and tears threaten, but I continue. "Anyway, I found out it wasn't all a lie when Allison, that's a whole other story, explained everything. That same night, Ezra was shot trying to protect me and my friends. And today, I found out he was my English professor," I finish as I quickly wipe away escaped tears.
Holden has kept his head down this whole time. Then he looks up, and his face is cold. He knew about Ezra, but when he found out the exact reason why my parents despised him, he felt the same. I give him a sad smile and turn towards Tori. She looks happy, sad, and disgusted all at once. I stare at my fingers once again.

"You dated your English teacher? Why isn't he in jail?" She asks. I explain to her that the one rule that we didn't break was 'no sex with a minor'. After answering a few more questions, I feel a slight feeling of relief. I am happy to at least let Tori know something about my past. When Holden and I moved here, I made a vow to myself that I would keep Rosewood in the past, and out of my future. But, due to recent events that won't be able to happen. Holden gets up. While walking out the door, he tells us that he is going to go meet up with Jake. I feel guilty for talking about the man that I love, in front of the man who I'm supposed to love.
Tori starts her line of questioning again, asking me why I felt the need to pack my dufflebag. I lied and told her that I just needed to see my parents again. The truth is, I needed to speak to Spencer, Emily, and Hanna face to face. I was afraid to do it over the phone. A has a history of hacking, and I didn't want to give A anymore of a reason than he/she/it/bitch already had to come after us. My phone rings, and I freeze. Tori frowns, and reaches for my phone.

"Someone named Spencer is calling," She says and I immediately snatch the phone from her. Running into the bathroom, I answer.

"You got one, too," She says. I can hear the horror in her voice. I try my best to hold in my tears.
"Im freaking out, Spencer. I found it in my car. Why is thi-" Spencer interrupts me.
"Aria, you're scaring me. I was referring to the text. What did you find in your car?" No. This isn't happening. If she didn't get a doll, then that means Hanna and Emily probably didn't either. I slowly slide down the bathroom door, curling up in a ball on the floor. What does A want from me?

"Aria, answer me," Spencer voice begins to crack, and I know she is crying too.
"A put a doll in my car. Spencer, I dont want to talk about this over the phone. I think we should all meet up in Rosewo-" Spencer interrupts me again.
"No. There is no way in hell that I'm going back. We should just come to you. Besides I love California" she says. I agree, and we try and lighten the mood of the conversation. She tells me about her classes and how, of course she's passing all of them. After we end the call, I walk out and see Tori watching a movie. She turns to me and frowns.
"What was that all about," she asks.
"Nothing, Spencer is just a high school friend," I respond.
"Oh. Well, Holden and Jake called. They want to know if we want to meet them for dinner tonight." Dinner. With Jake and Tori. No thanks. I don't know what it is, but there's just something about Jake that rubs me the wrong way.

"Uhh, no thanks. Maybe tomorrow. I'm not feeling that well," I lie. My phone starts beeping and I jump at the sound. It's just my alarm. 2:30pm
Time for my next class. "Tori, I got to go. Um, you can see yourself out. Laters," I say walking out the door.

As I walk out of my final class of the day, I get a phone call. It's Emily. The girls and I have been texting all day about plane tickets. None of them want to tell me when they will be arriving.
"Hey, Em. what's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to make sure you were ok with this." Now I'm confused.
"W-what are you talking about? Okay with what?"
"With us coming to see you. I mean, it's been so long and I-" I interrupt her.
"Emily, you have no idea how much I've missed you and the others. And right now, I need you, all of you. Oh, Em, so much has happened. I can't wait to tell you all about it," I say as tears start to threaten. But, this time, they are tears of joy. After a whole year, I get to see my best friends. They are the only ones I can completely trust. Emily and I begin talking about things we can do together when they arrive. As I'm walking to my car, someone touches my shoulder and I nearly have a heart attack. Turning around I see that it's Ezra.

"Emily, I have to go," I say and hang up before she could respond.
"Hey, sorry I scared you. I thought you might have deleted my number and I-"
"I still have it," I say. He smiles, and I stare at the ground. I really want him to kiss me again. No, I can't think like that. The kiss was nothing.
"Oh, I just thought...nevermind. Is your number still the same?" He asks, and I nod. He smiles, says bye, and walks away. Walking to my car, I look at my phone. 6:49pm
Since Holden went out with Jake and Tori, I have the apartment all to myself. After the day that I had, I deserve some alone time. I just want to rest up. Besides, I have a coffee date tomorrow that I'm really looking forward to.
