A Love We Deserve-Toby & Aria

Chapter 44:

Aria's POV:

"Oh my god." I saw in a low tone, I couldn't believe it. All this time Maya has been alive and has been Red Coat. "I can explain..." She says. "Why'd you fake your death?!" I scream. "SHHHH!" I'll tell you two everything okay, you just can't tell anyone that I'm still alive. I look and Toby and then back at Maya. We both nod I'm agreement. We all sit behind a dumpster as she explains how she's in the situation she's in. "When I stayed at True North" she starts, "Linden and I saw each other for a little while but then it was over and he didn't want to except that." She says. I'm still confused at what she's trying to say but she continues saying "I- I have a twin, that's who Linden had killed. I immediately went into hiding after that." It's starting to me make sense, but I have to ask "How have you been able to hide for so long?" She sighs. "Wren Kingston knows." She responds, and begins to further explain "I've been staying at Radley and he's been helping me hide there." My jaw drops a little "Wren? He's been helping you?" Toby asks. "Yea..." She responds and adds "He and Melissa actually. Since they got back together they've been helping me." Toby and I look at each other and then back at Maya when an alarm goes off. She turns it off and looks at us. "I have to go.." She says. "Don't tell anyone, the truth will come out eventually but right now you have to keep it a secret." Immediately after finishing her sentence she gets up put the hood back on and runs up the alley and disappears.
