Liars Best Friend

Chapter 18

He's coming. The person who has been attacking us is finally coming to get us. Or maybe just going to stay to his word-what am I saying? Charles is going to attack.

Right now, I'm with Ali in her room and we're trying to figure this thing out.

"I still can't believe you drugged your dad," I said sitting on her bed.

"I had to, I had to come home and warn you guys and get Jason. I'm sorry about you guys by the way," she said sitting next to me.

"Doesn't matter. What are we gonna do about Charles?"

"I have no idea," she said then we both laid down.

We spent the next few hours trying to figure out a plan on getting Charles, but in each situation, we would have failed.

We go to Spencer's giving up, but we ran into Jason on the way. I quickly ignore him and continue the walk to Spencer's.

"Spencer, you-"

"Toby!" Spencer yelled interrupting him as we walked in.

"We'll come back," Ali said.

"No it's fine, I'll meet you guys in my room."

We head up there and see everyone else there as well. They didn't seem that surprised to see us.

After explaining what was happening down there, we all did our own thing while waiting for Spencer.

"Let's go," she said running up to her room.

"Where?" Aria asked as we followed Spencer to her car.

"To stop Charles," she said as Ali and I go to my car.

The drive there was silent and unbearable. When we pulled in Ali took out her phone.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Calling the police," she said before talking to the police as I ran into the building.

Being quiet, the other girls and I sneak to a hiding spot to keep an eye on Jason and hopefully Charles.

When I saw a shadow I held my breath and sneakily moved away from everyone and towards a better view of Jason.

The hoodie. The black hoodie that's been following us for years has come.

We hear the door open and Charles runs away and I run towards Jason as baseballs fly everywhere.

"Candy, what are you doing here?" He asked after the police came in and Charles left.

"To protect you. I don't care if you hate me or not, I needed to protect you," I said as Alison walked in.

Jason left pissed off and Ali and I walked to my car as I held my shoulder. I guess a couple of the baseballs hit me.

"Will you come in with me?" Ali asked as we pulled into her driveway.

"Of course," I said walking in with her.

"I was going to tell him to turn himself in," Jason started, "I was going to take him. You both ruined that."

"Jason, I'm so sor-" I started before we heard something upstairs.

We headed towards the attic, me in the lead. A video was playing and I picked up a note that was left.

"I wanted to trust you," I read it out loud then looked at the video with them.

It was of Ali, Jason, me, and another little boy. Charles Dilaurentis. We were all at a birthday party.

"We all knew him," Ali said.

"I don't even remember this," I said tearing up at the video. "We were friends, all of us."
