Tell Me Something I Don't Know Yet

More of before

A/N STILL BACK IN CHAPTER EIGHT

Hanna P.O.V.

Maybe the girls didn't want to look for me. I mean, it's been almost 2 hours after all. Or maybe they just can't find me. Oh crap. What to do I tell them if they do find me?! What do I just tell them period when I see them again?!

I let out a sigh and notice how heavy my eye lids feel. If they haven't found me yet, they probably wouldn't at all. I might as well head back now and sneak inside where hopefully the girls won't be waiting for me. Especially Emily. I don't want to see her upset.

I stood up and realized where exactly I was. Look out point. For some reason when A was here I wasn't afraid. Now I was. It was night time and I didn't have my cell phone or a flash light. Hopefully I'd be able to make my way back without getting to messy. I brushed myself off a bit and walked to the box, slowly I bent down a grabbed it, it was cool wood that looked to be spay painted black, it was the size of a cell phone. I turned and carefully walked down the hill. My eyes had adjusted to the dark as I sat, so it was surprisingly easy for me to see. I stumbled a few times but never actually fell, but continued anyways with the thoughts of sleeping in my bed filling my head.

About halfway down the path, I heard footsteps. I froze up and saw beams of a flashlight not too far away. I then heard familiar voices and dove to the side and cursing quietly to myself when I ran into a tree. I scurried behind it and waited for the voices to pass. When they were close to the tree, I held my breath and tried not to make a sound. But, of course, with my luck, I didn't have enough breath to hold and let out a sigh.

"What was that?" I heard my girlfriend's worried voice ask to our friends.

"A?" I was able to recognize Aria's voice offer that and I inwardly snickers. Yup, pretty much.

"I don't know. A, or maybe Hanna," Spencer said.

I tried to get up, and broke a twig in the process and that's when the girls turned in my direction and began walking towards the tree. Right when they were on its side I stood up and dashed off. I leaped over some roots and over some fallen branches until I saw the lights from my house a few yards away, I ran up my steps and swung open the door before running to the kitchen and grabbing my phone. I rushed up the stairs, shoved the box in my closet, shimmied out of my cloths and into some shorts and a tank top and threw the covers of my bed over my head and cried quietly.

My phone went off, and I knew I had to check it. I looked down at my screen and saw it was another text from A. What do they want now? I already know I can't tell the girls about my betrayal.

You were in the woods. We kidnapped you but you escaped. No questions asked, and the girls won't ask any themselves. -A.

Now A wanted me to lie to them. I wiped my eyes when I heard my door from downstairs open and my bedroom door wasn't even knocked on before it was opened. I peeked out from under the covers and Emily ran up to me and took me in her arms before pulling away and rapidly smacking my arm.

"Emily! What the hell?!"

"Don't do that to me again!" She shouted before squeezing me once again.

"I won't," I whispered to her. "I won't."

"Hanna," I heard Aria start carefully, taking a step closer while Spencer sat at the foot of my bed. "What happened?"
I was about to tell them everything. About me and about A and about what really happened when I remembered my latest text.

"While you guys were on your way here, there was a knock at my back door, and I opened it and there was a black hoodie and they knocked me out and I woke up in the woods. When I heard more footsteps after I woke up, I took off thinking that it was the rest of the A-team and when I realized it was just you guys, I didn't have it in me to stop so I came back here." I hated lying to my friends, but I couldn't risk getting killed, or having one of them get hurt.
