Arias POV
I still hear his breathing close to my my ear. I stand there a minute, regretting my decision, thinking of leaning in to kiss him.
I turn around, clenching my fists. Walk, Aria, walk, I think to myself. My feet take me forwards while I feel for my back pocket and snatch my phone. I unlock it while looking away and go to my recent contacts.
"Hey, Spencer? We need to talk."
I flip the case shut and strut ahead confidently. I rest my hand on my bump and sit on a nearby park bench.
The vibration of my phone scares me but that's understandable considering what I've been through.
I take calm breaths and pick up the line.
"Aria, you wanted to talk?"
"Er yeah. Do you mind... what happened to Caleb?"
She goes quiet.
"I can't tell you over the phone. Meet me tomorrow. In Rosewood."

I sit waiting on the same damp park bench we all used to hang out, back in our high school days. Memories were flooding back as I watched a group of teens come out of the coffee shop across the road giggling towards each other.
Alison had run off with her new fellow after her baby was born. Em was left heart broken, but she soon got back with Paige who invited her to her home in California.
After 'A' was gone once and for all, Hanna went off to live with her dad, who had once again divorced another woman, then got engaged to her now ex-boyfriend Jordan. She broke it off two weeks before the wedding because she still had feelings for Caleb. And as for Spencer, she began dating Caleb once she realised Hanna still loved him. None of us have had a word from her since- until now.
I grasp my bump as if I was holding a new born and got my phone out to text her, just as I felt somebody tug my hair.
"Spence!"
I stood up for a hug but she pulled back, smiling shyly.
"Aria, you're pregnant?"
