New to Rosewood (a pretty little liars fanfic)

chapter 15: More Answers

"Ya, I'm guessing Jason told you about the note. This wasn't the first time you have heard about, was it?" It wasn't all that much of a surprise that they knew about it, but it did surprise me a little.

"No, he showed me the note at Ian's funeral. No one but Jason and me was there." Aria answered my question.

"Look, I know the note was a stupid idea. I just was cought up in the moment and I wasn't thinking clearly. There was no way the police would have gotten to the point of looking at the prints and plus you were alive when I left, so there wasn't going to be a murder investigation. At that point it made sense, I didn't know your plans about going into hiding for years to come. I didn't know there was going to be a body where you were suposidly buried. I didn't know until after, that night. I didn't know for weeks to come after that night. At that time it seemed logical, but weeks after, after you went missing, I knew it wasn't."  This whole conversation has gotten me so emotional. There was a fat river of tears running down my cheeck. It bugged the crap out of me that I was crying this much, but I couldn't help it. This was a hard topic for me to talk about. It was expecialy hard, because this was the forst time I have ever said a word about it since it happened. People even suspected something was going in, even then no one had a clue about what was going on in my head.

"Macy, this is my fault. I should have know something was going on all those years. When I came to visit you, I knew there was something off, but I didn't want to push you away. You were the only one I had all those years." Everyone else seemed offened by whay Ali just said.

"Ali, you had us too. It wasn't just Macy." Hanna tried to seem calm, but by the looks of the four of them, they were pissed that Ali didn't come to them all these years. She came to me, someone she hid the fact of knowing. But didn't come to them, her four best froends that she hung out with all the time.

"If I came to you guys there was a big chance someone could see me. It was too risky. No one in Saline knew who the hell I was. I could go around there without having to hide who I was, bacouse I wasn't the teenage missing girl. I was just another person wondering the streets. I didn' thave to hide. It was also easier for Macy to keep a secret, because no one knew who I was. Unlike in Rosewood. Like you said Spencer, I was poplular in life and death."  It was true Ali did walk on the streets if Saline, in daylight, dressed like everyone else, and no one suspected a thing. No one knew anout her story. She acted like everyone else. She couldn't do that here, in Rosewood.

"Ali we could have kept your secret. We're your best friends. You could trust us, there's no doubt about that." Emily tried to get their point across even more.

"I know I could have trusted you guys. It was just easier to hang with Macy, in Saline, where no one knew me. Plus Macy is one of my best friends too. I didn't have to put pressure on her about keeping the secret, because there was no one to hide it from. aathere also was no risk. I was with one of my best friends and thier was no risk. It was just easier."

"Why come back now? After all this time what made you want to xome back?" I thought the answer was obvious.

"There was nothing left for me in Saline. There was no reason to be there. Everything was here. I also relized that I can't stay in hiding forever. It might as well find out who tried to kill me. Possibley come out of hiding." Ali pause for a moment bedore continuing on, "Guys I hope I didn't offend you by going with Macy, instead of staying here with you guys. It was easier on me and she needded me."

"Why would Macy need you? She had her mom." Hanna seemed bery confused by Ali's last statement.

"Hanna she came back, bacause her mom died." Ali seemed like it was obvious what happed to my mom. Thing is I don;t think they know anything about why I moved to Saline in the first place.

"My mom died of Cancer. We moved their because of her. They had on eof the best hospitials in a neighboring towns, the U of M Hospitail, in A2." They has the most confused faces you could get right when I said A2. That's when I relized no one calls Ann Arbor A2 unless they live around there. "

"A2 is another name for Ann Arbor." Ali answered their unasked question.

"Oh." Came out of all four of them, when Ali was done explaining.

"Why live in Saline, when your moms hospitial was in Ann Arbor?" Hanna asked.

"Many reasons. Saline is a smaller town, by a lot. Saline is a better school district, acidemicaly and sports. Saline also was voted number one place to rais e a child in Michigan." 

"Really, is that why you are involved in many sports?" Aria asked a question for the forst time in a while.

"Ya, but how did you know I was involved in a lot of sports?"

"Let's just say Mike likes to talk about you. I thin he has a crush." Wow.

"He has a girlfriend. I hoghly doubt he has a crush on me." I really didn't like talking about Mike with his sister, but then again she was becoming my friend.

"Well she thinks otherwise." Well, snap.

"Guys we are getting off topic here." Hanna interupted our conversation.
