The Aftermath of Drake (ON HOLD)

A Close One

Hanna's P.O.V
We all looked at each other, our hearts beating fast and our jaws nearly falling off.
I looked down, hoping that it wasn't who I thought it was.

We all looked down
There was a text from someone;
We need to talk!
-Ali
We all gasped with gratefulness. It was Ali, she needed us, and whatever it was, it didn't sound good.

Spencer's P.O.V

Before I had read the text, my heart was beating, and to be honest, I couldn't think about Ali's message right now. I couldn't think about it when someone had broken into my house, and Aria's. I couldn't think about it, without knowing where my family was, and whether or not they were safe.
"So, are you guys gonna go?" Asked Hanna. "Cause I feel like our situation is getting badder and badder at the minute!"

"Han, badder's not a word, but continue," I said.

"Really Spencer!" "Anyways my question?"

"Right, um, I think we should go, who knows, it may not be serious," said Emily.

"Everything is serious when it comes to Ali, Em!" Said Aria. Emily put her head down.

"I'm going," said Emily.

"We're coming too," I said.

With that, we all got up and went towards our cars. We drove off.

At Ali's House

We all arrived there at the same time, except for Hanna. Ali opened the door and we sat down. She gave us something to eat and drink. We waited for Hanna.

**10 Minutes Later**

"Sorry, I'm late, have you been downtown?" "The sales are huge!" "I guess five years does change a town" Said Hanna, carrying a bundle of shopping bags. We all glared at her.
"Hey Hanna," said Ali.

"So what did I miss?" Ignoring Ali.

"Not a thing!" Said Aria, as if it was extremely casual.

"We waited for you," I said

"Damn!" Hanna said to herself. She then sat down.

"I wanted to talk to you abut Charlotte," said Ali. "Charlotte's getting the help she never had when she was little, five years of treatment, undoing all the damage." "I visit her, spend time with her, she even stayed at...my house for a weekend, last Christmas,"

"They let her out?" Asked Hanna

"It was a supervised visit," answered Ali.

"So Charlotte is all better now, what is this got to do with us?" I asked.

"Tomorrow, there will be a hearing, tomorrow the judge will decide if she should be released , and they want to hear from people who were involved."

"Victim statements," I justified.

"Statements of support, statements that..she isn't a threat to anybody, that you guys are not afraid of her anymore."
No one said anything.

"There's no reason to be afraid, you know her, you heard her story, we all went through this together," Ali confirmed.

"Yes, we did, have the scar's to prove it too," said Aria

"You're asking us to give a get out of jail free card to someone who tried to kill us?" Asked Hanna.

"She's in a hospital Hanna, she's not in jail, she's lucky," Ali confirmed.

"And we're lucky, to be alive!" Said Emily.

"That's why your statements would mean so much." Said Ali.

"Who else is speaking?" I asked. Ali hesitated for a second.

"Mona, demanded to be heard, she's gonna talk to the judge about the dollhouse and being tortured."

"What about Sara Harvey?' Asked Hanna.

"What about her?' Asked Ali. Hanna raised her eyebrows.

"Suppose we do talk to the judge, they march in Sara Harvey, she gives a few choice words about what happened to her that night at Radley" said Aria.

"She's not allowed to testify, because of how her criminal charges were a result."

"Why isn't Jason here?" I asked.

"He doesn't agree of Dr. Rolland's and me,"

"Okay, you realise what you're asking us to do?" Asked Emily who had been quiet for some time. "You want us to forgive Charlotte."

"I don't care if you forgive her, I'm asking you to give me my only chance at a family,"

"Alison, we're here to tell the judge how we feel, and you're asking us to lie?" Asked Hanna.

"Please do this, do this for me," Ali begged.

"Pretty please, with a sugar on top?" I asked.

"What?" Asked Ali.

"That's what you say on a playground to exact a favour." "We're not on a playground anymore Ali, we haven't been for a long time.

"Please?" She asked again. We didn't say anything, we just looked down. Ali, started to walk away, perhaps getting the message that we weren't lying for her....again.
