Pretty Little Liars: 16 & Pregnant (Sequel)

And Then There Were Three

Piper's Pov

"I want to tell our Mom." Poppy says, taking the note back from me.

"You can't," I warn "V isn't joking when he says that he'll make something bad happen if you tell someone."

"Well how come the note says we're allowed to tell you?" Bella questions "That's telling someone."

"Well, it doesn't actually say that." I reply "All it says is Piper already knows who I am. That doesn't technically mean you can tell me, but now we all know about V so he can't really get mad that we're talking about him."

"Do you know who he is?" She asks.

"No, I don't." I frown "He just meant that I know about him, but I don't actually know who he is."

"How long have you been getting notes?" Poppy asks.

"Around two months," I say "But I haven't gotten one for a few weeks."

"Maybe he switched from you to us." Bella blurts out.

"Don't say that," Poppy whines.

"Well would you rather it be Piper and us?" Bella continues.

"No," She looks down at her lap "That would be even worse."

We all go silent for a minute, and as I'm left to my own thoughts, a question begins to form in my mind.

"If V is sending notes to all of us, then it must be someone we all know." I start "But...why us? What have we all done that has made someone this mad at us?"

"We know a lot of the same people, so narrowing it down wouldn't be that easy." Poppy starts "But I don't think I've done anything to make anyone hate me like this, I don't think any of us have."

"Do you think it's someone at school?" Bella questions.

"It's not," I tell her "It's an adult."

"How do you know?" She asks.

"Because, I met him in the park a few weeks ago. He was wearing a mask though, so I couldn't see his face." I explain "But he was definitely an adult, at least, I think it's a he."

"You couldn't tell?" Poppy scrunches her nose "Did they have boobs?"

"I don't know, it was dark, and they were wearing baggy black clothes." I defend myself "Maybe it was a girl, but it also could've been a boy."

"Why did you even meet V in the park?" Bella asks, looking slightly horrified.

"Because he made me." I answer quietly "If I didn't, he'd do something to Stella."

"Do you think he'd actually?" Poppy raises her eyebrows "Maybe he's just saying that."

"I really get the feeling that V isn't joking around." I reply "Besides, I'm not going to risk it."

"So..." Bella starts "What do we do?"

I frown "Nothing. You can't really do anything, you just listen to him and do what he asks."

"But I'm not brave like you are Piper," Poppy whines slightly "If V asked me to sneak out of the house to meet him I could never do it."

Unsure of how to respond, I just stare down at my hands in my lap. It was bad enough when it was just me getting notes from V, but it makes it a whole lot worse now that it's my best friends as well. I would never say it out loud, but I'm glad I at least don't have to go through it alone anymore. It'll be nice having someone to talk to about it.
