Chapter 3: When a book comes in handy

Emily's POV:

I couldn't let Ali leave, not again. I walked into the locker room, knowing that Paige liked swimming late at night after school. She had to give me names of who is working with Mona.

"You've got to give me the names Paige, the ones conspiring with Mona." I said forcefully.

"I can't tell you, especially after the way Alison treated her." Paige sneered Alison name, as if the name was toxic.

"Mona altered that video, Paige." I argued.

"Even if she did she didn't make her say those things, Alison isn't sorry about the way she treated anybody, she's still the same manipulative person she always was." Paige snapped. My face heated up in anger, it reminded me of 8th grade, how I would get defensive and angry when anyone said anything bad about Ali in front of me.

"Who ever blew up the Cavanaugh house is now threatening her."

"I thought it was a gas leak." Paige whispered.

"Someone caused that leak."

"And you think it's Mona?" Mona and her army of skanks.

"It's possible. With a little help from her friends." Now say the names Paige.

"Why would Mona want to blow up the Cavanaugh house?"

I rolled my eyes at her. "That's what we're trying to figure out. Look, I know how you feel about Alison but could you live with yourself if somethings happened to her, knowing that you could have done something?" The words tasted wrong in my mouth, even thinking about anything happening to her was unbearable.

"It's Lucas, Melissa and a few other kids that she tormented." Paige muttered.

As soon as the words left her mouth I bolted towards Hanna's house. When no one answered her door I ran in.

"Hey, didn't you hear me knocking?" I ask in between breaths.

"No sorry." Hanna answered.

"Paige named names, Lucas and Melissa are working with Mona and they are all after Alison."

"Melissa? Oh my god, have you told Spencer?"

"No not yet," I looked around the room, noticing that Ali was no where to be seen, "Where is Ali?"

"Um, she went home to have dinner with her dad." Hanna answered nervously.

"I'll go tell her." I turn my heal and start walking out.

"No!" I quickly turn around, what is she hiding?

"Why don't you wait until the morning to do that." Is she insane?

"This is to important to wait." I snapped. My eyes left hers and I noticed a piece of paper lying on the table, it's a train ticket to New Jersey.

"8 o'clock train?" I ask suspiciously.

"Yeah, I was thinking of visiting my grandma." Hanna has a tell when she's lying, her left eyebrow twitches slightly so we've always been able to tell when she's honest or not. And now she's not.

"Wrong direction Hanna, New Jersey isn't on the way to Oklahoma."

That's when I noticed the bag on her bed. I pulled the handle away from Hanna and about 100 dollars and a bunch of clothes were pilled inside. I put two and two together. Ali's leaving.
