I know too much, tell Aria before 6pm or I will.

"Oh gosh.." I murmur, "what's up?" Aria asks nuzzling closer to me. "Just a text from Em, talking about Paige and her." I giggle. "They are cute, you know I wouldn't mind dating a girl." She adds, focusing on the film. "Oh? Like what girl?" I taunt grabbing her arm. A huge grin spread across her face as her cheeks went from pale to rose red. "Not sure, haven't decided yet." She giggles meeting my eyes. I quickly nod away and focus back on the movie. "Wh-What time is it?" I ask tracing circles on the duvet. "It's uh....5:54, why?" She asks. "You want the truth or a lie?" I ask grinning awkwardly. "Truth." She nods pausing the movie. "A, said I have to tell you a big secret of mine before 6." I frown rubbing my shoulder. "We shouldn't keep secrets from each other, you're my best friend." She smiles grabbing my hand. Damn, best friend-zoned. "Well, I don't really know how to say this." I murmur softly. "Is this about you being lesbian?" She asks tracing circles on my palm. "Ho-How di-did you know?" I ask wide-eyed, basically set into a panic. "Calm down Spencer, I heard Emily and you talking outside, and it's cute you have a crush but I didn't quite hear her name..." She frowns messing with her fingers. I quickly turn to the other window. "A-Aria!" I yell. "Yes, I won't tell anyone, you don't have to worry.." She giggled. "N-No not that, look!" I whisper yell, pulling her to the window. "What's going on down there?" She asks nuzzling closer to me. "Good question, I think Paige and Emily are in an argument." I nod. "Do you think Paige is angry?" She asks her eyes meeting mine. "Wh-What?" I ask. "Well, she seems violent..." She continues. "W-Wait..." She nudges me. "Pa-Paige has a gun." She panics darting out of the room. "Wait up!" I yell running after her. We made it down the stairs and ran into the street below. "Leave her alone, Paige." I yell grabbing Emily behind me. "Move or I'll shoot you." Paige spat clicking the gun. "Spence, just pl-" "no, go on shoot me since you think your so big and bad." I taunt. She nervously clicks the gun, I feel a wincing pain in my leg, I slowly fell to the ground. I could see Paige running away as Aria and Emily came to my aid. "Spencer...don't worry..." Is all I could hear before I blacked out.

"Where am I?" I panic jumping up in bed. "Spencer!!" Aria yelped hopping from her seat. "Emily! Hanna! She's awake!" She grins as the other girls entered the room. "What's going on? Can someone tell me that?" I ask slightly annoyed. "You've been in a coma for a month..." Aria whispered sitting next to me. "A month? What happened??" I ask attempting to get up. "You can't get up, IVs and junk..." Hanna sighed sitting next to me. "What happened?" I ask, slightly calmer. "Well, Paige shot you in the leg then hit you so you had some brain trauma." Emily sighed rubbing her temples, "this is all my fault.." She mumbles. "No it's not baby.." Hanna whispered grabbing her hand. "B-Baby? What?" I ask, Hanna seemed like the straightest person in our group...well I thought. "Oh, yeah Caleb just couldn't make cu-.." "Anyways!" Emily interrupted as Hanna grinned leaning closer to Emily. "C-Can I talk to Aria alone really quick?" I ask smiling softly. "Love you guys." I add as they shut the door. "Oh my goodness I was so worried that I had lost my best friend.." She whispered tears in her eyes. "Sit in my lap." I demand shifting up. "Are you sure?" She asks, moving closer. "Yeah I'll be fine." I grin as she sits down. "You'll never lose me, I promise." I grin grabbing her hand. "You're so tiny and I love you and I feel bad for being like half dead." I giggle. "I love you too, Spencer." She sighs grabbing onto me. "I'm glad you didn't give up on me." I sigh. "How could I give up on my best friend?" She asks twirling a bit of my hair in her hands. "Oh! You woke up just in time, next week is the fashion show, you're gonna walk with me right?" She excitedly squeals. "Of course I will." I smile helping her down. "Ma'am, visiting hours are over." The nurse calls. "Goodnight, love you, tell the other girls I love them as well." I nod waving goodbye. "Goodnight, Spence." She whispers walking out.

"Psst.." Aria whispered. "Yeah?" I ask turning to my side. "When you were in the hospital, were the beds comfortable?" She asks turning to face me. "Mhm, but I only slept on the bed with memory of it one time." I giggle softly "you know everyday I had to come home to this room and your empty side of the bed I cried, I cried so much...I left your side exactly like you left it because I was afraid you wouldn't come back." She whispered tears filling her eyes, "I'm so thankful I have someone who cares about me that much.." I giggled, "come here don't cry." I whisper grabbing her in my arms. "I'm excited for tomorrow." She squeals trying to change the subject. "Yeah, we all get to walk the runway together all pretty like." I smile playing with a string on the duvet. "Let's get some sleep, I'm tired." She whispers. "Goodnight, Aria." I whisper, without hesitation she wraps herself into my arms nuzzling up against me. I hope and pray she doesn't hear my heartbeat. "You're heart beats so fast." She whispers nuzzling herself further into my grasp. "You're like a bear, a koala bear or panda." I whisper rubbing her hair. "I love cuddling.." She whispers, "ah yes then you're a Pookie bear my mistake." I giggle. "Shhhh....that's n..not my na..name..." She yawns, before drifting off. "Goodnight, Aria." I whisper pecking the top of her hair.
