Your the One, You've Always Been

Chapter 14.

Arias POV

A was Alison.

"Alison?" I barely managed to say. Thoughts running through my head like fireworks.

"But, your dead? And I-" I have never been more confused in my life.

Why would my 'dead' best friend torture me?

"Aria, you know me, I'm smart. I faked my death. And here's how I did it. My mom knew a girl at Radley who looked similar to me. Her name was Bethany. She and I became close over the years. But then I became friends with you hanna, Spencer, and Emily. Bethany felt all betrayed, and she stopped talking to me. She was being a total bitch. Anyways I've always wanted a dramatic exit-" I cut Alison off.

"Wait, you faked your death for 'a dramatic exit'?" I said angry," Do you know what you put us and your family and so many more people through? We loved you Alison!" I said as tears streamed down my face.

"Aria let me finish! Okay? Just wait. Anyways, for my 'dramatic exit' I had everything all planned out. Bethany was coming home from Radley. The first thing she wanted to do was have a sleepover with me. I kinda wish I chose another girl to play 'me' in the death-" I cut ali off again.

"Wait, you killed this Bethany girl? Just so you could have your 'dramatic exit'? What the heck is wrong with you!?" I said getting angrier and angrier by the minute.

"Aria, shut up!! let me finish! Okay so Bethany met me in my backyard and we talked a bit. I led her to the woods and told her we were going to a little cabin, do you know how gullible she is?" Alison said laughing, "But then she went all cuckoo and stuff so I decided to do it right there in the woods, still closish to my house. I whacked her in the head with a shovel, just like that she fell. I remember her reaction, her eyes turned shocked to betrayed, but I couldn't let pity get in front of my master plan." Alison said with a mischievous smile.

She continued, "So I dragged her body to the unfinished gazebo and pushed her down. I covered her body with some dirt, I knew the workers were pouring cement over it tomorrow, so it worked great. That's when I knew I had to have someone find 'my body', I ran of to a hotel that night as Vivian Darkbloom. I went out early the next morning when the workers were pouring the cement and told them I was just passing through, I'm so glad they didn't recognize me. but anyways, when they weren't looking, I dropped my favorite bracelet I wore everyday with the charms, and I had the charm that said Alison facing up poking out of the cement. When it semi-dried I ran off into my new world." Alison said with a proud smile.

"I was the one who found the bracelet, I saw it and I thought maybe someone killed you and pushed you down there and your bracelet and- I don't know what I thought! but we had people look there and we found 'your body' and I was devastated. I was depressed for months. I couldn't eat, I couldn't leave my house, you put me through so much Alison! But when my family left for Iceland, it was like a free be, it took me away from the pain. I forgot about everything. I never forgot about you, but the pain hurt a little less." I said as tears trickled down my face.

"Bingo! You stopped caring, you weren't crying and depressed for a longer period! You never missed me, you got over me, your best friend!" Alison yelled as tears rolled down her soft cheeks.

"Got over you? Gosh Ali! I never got over you, I still cry myself to sleep, sometimes I wish I was dead with you! But your not! and I'm so happy! but you've been torturing me. And I'm confused why. I still love you Alison I never got over missing you. But I have to say, you can't expect me to just grieve for the rest of my life. I mean you were a big part of my life, you'll always always always be there. You'll always be in my heart. I'll never get over you! But I will move on with my life. I'll miss you and cry myself to sleep every once in while. But I needed to move on, I thought that's what was best for you." I said as tears rolled down my pale face, "I'm sorry Alison." I said in complete sobs.

I looked up at Alison, she was crying, she looked confused.

"Aria, I'm so sorry. I mean it I do." She said as tears dropped out of her eyes uncontrollably.

"But I have to do this!" Alison said getting dirt and dropping it down in the hole.

"You don't have to do this Alison." I said softly.

I looked at Alison, she stood up and whispered something, "I'm sorry Aria, I love you too."

And she disappeared.
