     Spencer tiredly gets out of bed as the doorbell wakes her up. Alex and Markus aren't supposed to be home until tomorrow, so who could be at the door at...2:56 in the morning? The tall brunette drags her feet to the front door and opens it.

Spencer "Aria?"

Aria "Spencer...Ezra and I had a fight...a-and I need someone."

Aria's slurred speech and inability to stand without leaning on the door frame makes Spencer sigh. She helps Aria into the house and sits her on the couch. She looks out the window and doesn't see her car. At least she didn't drive here drunk.

Spencer "Aria, What have you had to drink?"

Aria "I...I don't remember. I just know that Ezra and I had a fight."

Spencer "About What?"

Aria "You."

Spencer wonders why Ezra and Aria would be talking about her, and what they talked about that caused an argument.

Aria "I told Ezra that you came because of Alex, but he didn't believe me. He heard our conversation in the house and how you still love me. He just...started flipping out and he..."

Spencer "Aria...did he hit you?"

Aria "No...he left the house. I drank a little bit then walked here."

Spencer shook her head at the thought of Ezra walking out. She couldn't believe that he had heard their conversation. Then she thought about something.

Spencer "Wait, did he take Bella?"

A look of realization crosses Aria's face as she gasps.

Aria "I left her at home! My poor baby, I left her in the house by herself!"

Spencer "Don't worry, I'll drive over there and pick her up okay? Just, stay here and...try to get sober."

Aria nods, handing Spencer her keys. The tall brunette grabs them and her own keys, leaving to Aria's house.
