ever since hanna got with sean i noticed how weird charlotte has been acting.

i know she was hurt. and hanna has rarely seed charlotte...until today.

emily, hanna, caleb, spencer, aria, charlotte and i are all going to the grille to eat and hangout.

"hey babe, you ready?" emily walked in wearing a leather jacket and  white tee.

i bit my lip, "oh i'm ready." i said with a smirk.

emily chuckled, "come on."

she held her hand out to me politely and i took it.

we left the apartment, charlotte following silently behind us.

when we got to the grille, hanna arrived 20 minutes late, giggling.

"sorry. i was with sean."

"it's okay han." aria said.

i snorted, "shocker." i mumbled.

"excuse me?" hanna said, confused.

"nothing." i murmured and chewed my salad.

i felt the stare of alison burning into my skull but i didn't look up at her.

"so. what'd i miss?" hanna asked.

"nothing. just talking about graduation and where we want to go to college." spencer said.

"yale?" hanna said, to spencer, who then chuckled, "possibly. or Penn state. that's my top school on my list. aria's too."

"i wanna go to new york institute of technology." caleb said and smiled.

"nice. what about you ali?" hanna asked.

"NYU. that's my dream." she said and her eye sparkled.

"em?" aria asked.

she bit her lip nervously.

"i'm not going to college...actually."

alison choked on her food and i widened my eyes.

"WHAT?!" we all shouted.

"why not?" i asked her, trying to relax.

"i told you. i want to go into the army...after graduation i have to leave."

i scoffed, "and you planned on telling me that you were leaving when?"

"i-i don't know it never came up. i don't know exactly when yet but i have to go to training at the base in the summer. it's in japan at camp fuji."

"japan?! emily. you can't be serious."

"babe i'm sorry. i was going to tell you at a better time."

"when? before you got on the plane? oh yeah, i got to go! going to japan! be back in september!" i wasn't mad really...just scared.

i was covering my fear with anger.

i don't want her to die.

and japan is a long way. i can't just jump on a plane to go and get her.

"alison...can we not do this here?"

"then where? at your grave?"

"alison." emily scolded me, her eyes dark with anger.
