The Marin sisters {mike Montgomery} book one

The Jenna thing.

"Why was Jenna there?" Aria asked

"I guess she's back." Spencer said softly

"That cop acted like we were suspects or something." Hanna said

"Do you think we looked guilty?" Emily asked

"Why would we? We haven't done anything wrong." Aria said

"Except lie about the Jenna thing." Crystal said softly

"We promised we'd never bring up the Jenna thing again, remember? It never happened." Spencer snapped

"Have you found a way to forget? I still wake up sometimes in the middle of the night." Crystal asked, wide eyed

"Crystal, it was an accident." Spencer replied

Hanna put some vodka in her glass before looking up and frowning, "It's medicinal. Cramps!"

"I don't get it. How does A something about me that only Alison knew?" Emily asked

"Ali knew all of our secrets, but...we never knew any of hers." Aria said softly

"I knew some." Spencer said

"Go on." Aria motioned

"Talk." Hanna demanded

"I can't." Spencer replied

"Spence! No, you are not gonna drop a bomb like that and just clam up!" Aria exclaimed

"She'd so kill me if I told you." Spencer replied

"She's dead." Hanna said bluntly

"Ali was seeing someone that summer." Spencer revealed

"I knew she was keeping something from me!" Emily exclaimed. Everyone gave her an odd look and she quickly amended it, "from us."

"Well, why didn't she want us to know?" Aria asked

"He was an older boy,and he had a girlfriend." Spencer whispered

"Who was it?" Crystal asked

"She never told me his name." Spencer replied

"That's only half the secret." Hanna argued

"It's more than you ever got from her." Spencer responded

"How is that Ali told us nothing,and we told her everything?" Aria asked

"Because she made us feel like we were part of something special." Crystal replied

"We were." Hanna said

"I miss that." Aria said softly

"Me too." Spencer said

"I miss Ali." Emily said, touching the bracelet on her wrist

"I can't believe you still wear that." Hanna chuckled

"Ali still wears hers. Wore." Emily said

"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 said quietly

"Yeah. I used to think that maybe she'd just...Run off with some guy." Aria smiled

"She was laying on a beach somewhere." Emily added

"Or getting a tan out by the pool with that hot lifeguard." Hanna said with a smirk

"Ohh. Yeah...What was his name?" Crystal asked
