20) free fall
"Hey" Spencer said once Ava, Hanna, and Emily walked into the bathroom. "Hey" Emily, Ava, and Hanna said.
"What are you wearing" Hanna asked. "It's nothing I had to change, and this is all I had in my gym locker" Spencer said. "Did you, did you have an accident" Emily asked.
"What, no" Spencer said. "Then are you going to" Ava asked. "What is up with those shower shoes" Hanna asked.
"Can you just forget about the outfit okay we have an emergency situation here" Spencer said.
"Is that why you called me at 4am" Emily asked. "Wait what" Hanna said. "She called you at 4 in the morning" Ava asked.
"Okay I thought that after we saw Aria liplocking with the devil went home to calm down and crash" Hanna said.
"I must've just hit dial while I was asleep look okay, I know we said we were going to talk to Aria after school, but I really think we need to tell her about Ezra sooner like now" Spencer said.
"What" Emily said. "Spencer, we can't tell her now" Ava said. "The longer we wait the more dangerous it becomes" Spencer said.
"And you think it's any less dangerous to drop a bomb like that while she's going into class" Hanna asked. "We can't do that to her" Emily said.
"Do what protect her Ezra spoke to me this morning and I could barely maintain eye contact meanwhile for all we know right now Aria is hooking up with him in some janitor's closet" Spencer said.
"How does that not make your skin crawl" Spencer asked.
"It does Spence okay it does" Ava said. "Look I know you don't want to keep her in the dark okay, but this isn't going to be easy she's in love with him" Emily said.
"Which I'll never understand but she is so" Ava added.
"And she has given up a lot to be with him I mean it's already going to be difficult enough for her to believe he's even capable of this" Emily said.

"Toby" Ava said seeing him by his motorcycle. "Toby" Ava said running to him hugging him.
"You saw me this morning sis" Toby said. "I don't care" Ava said and smiled at him. "You take your quiz" Toby asked.
"Heading there now just wanted to say hi" Ava said. "Oh well go on don't be late" Toby said.
"Fun bummer" Ava said and left. "Excuse me for wanting you to graduate" Toby yelled to Ava who ignored him.
>>>
"Are you gonna eat that" Hanna asked Emily. "Yeah, I told you that like five seconds ago" Emily said. "Just take it" Emily said and Hanna did.
"Thank you" Hanna said opening it. "Sorry I just get extra hungry when I'm nervous" Hanna said.
"I thought it was sad" Ava said. "I get sad when I'm nervous" Hanna said as she took a bite.
"Look I've been avoiding all day" Hanna said. "Okay so have I" Ava said. "Like I haven't I finished my Spanish homework in a toilet stall" Emily said.
"Are we sure this is a good idea" Hanna asked. "I mean what if we tell Aria Ezra's A and then she hates us" Hanna said.
"What choice do we have except to prepare for things to get ugly" Emily said. "Which they will once we tell her" Ava said.
"Finally, is there some cellar dead zone that you can know about in the school" Aria said coming over sitting down. "What do you mean" Hanna asked.
"Well, I've texted all three of you like five times" Aria said. "Whatever where's Spencer" Aria asked.
"I haven't seen her" Emily said. "Okay well we need to find her and talk to her right now" Aria said. "What about" Ava asked.
"Right, I think we all know that Spencer's been a little extra intense lately and is just chalked it up to stress, but she is not distressed she's strung-out you guys' Spencer has a serious problem alright, and this isn't the first time that has happened" Aria said.
Aria reached into her bag and pulled out a file showing them.
"Two years ago, it was enough of an issue that her parents had to ask the school for help lol" Aria said giving it to Emily.
Emily opened the file and looked along with Hanna and Ava.

"Two diets and two regulars right" Spencer said going to hand the drinks out but stopped seeing their expression. "Oh my god you guys did it already didn't you" Spencer said confusing Aria.
"Did what" Aria asked. "Nothing" Hanna said. "We're not here to talk about that" Emily said.
"Yeah, we're actually here to talk about something else" Ava said. "Spence we're concerned" Aria said.
"Yeah, I know we're concerned" Spencer said. "No, we're worried about you" Emily told Spencer.
"Me why" Spencer asked. "Are you a speed freak" Hanna asked. "What" Spencer said. "Hanna" Ava, Aria, and Emily said. "Spencer have you been taking pills to stay awake" Hanna asked.
"Where is this coming from what is happening right now" Spencer asked. "We care about you Spence" Ava said.
"Yeah, we do and that's why we're here right this is kind of like an intervention" Aria said. "Yeah, I know yours" Spencer told Aria.
"Spencer, stop we know this has been a problem for you before" Hanna said. "I don't know what you guys are talking about" Spencer said and Aria gave Spencer the file.
"Where'd you get this" Spencer asked Aria. "Ezra he's worried about you" Aria said. "You're kidding me right" Spencer told Aria.
"And you three didn't tell her" Spencer said to Ava, Hanna, and Emily.
"He's A, Aria, Ezra is board shorts he tried to kill Ali and he's been torturing us ever since" Spencer told Aria. "Spencer can we please stick to the subject of you right now" Emily asked.
"How can you not see what's happening right now he's trying to undermine me he's being A" Spencer said.
"Spence" Ava said. "Please tell me you see what's happening here" Spencer said to Hanna and Ava.
"Ezra said that he found you passed out in school today that you were barefoot you were in your pajamas, and you didn't even know where you were" Aria said.
"Spencer is that true or is it not true" Aria asked as Spencer had her head in her hands. "Spencer talk" Hanna said as Spencer took her head out of her hands.
"Yes, okay I slept walked" Spencer said. "To school" Hanna asked.
"Yes, and I've taken a couple of pills a few times and it's not great I know but it's not that big of a deal and Ezra is just trying to make it into a bigger deal than it is because he's trying to get the focus off himself because he's freaking A" Spencer said.
"Oh my god this is brilliant" Spencer said outing her head in her hands again.
"Alright I know that you're feeling cornered" Aria said as Spencer took her head out of her hands.
"Oh god Aria will you wake up this is exactly the kind of deer in the headlights behavior that almost got you shot in the back of a night club" Spencer said. "What night club" Hanna asked.
"What are you talking about" Ava asked. "I mean I um" Spencer said and stopped.
"Okay I'm confused but the point is that I'm not crazy okay you just don't see" Spencer said. "How can you guys not see what's happening" Spencer asked.
"I can't deal with this right now" Spencer said and grabbed her bag when stuff fell out. Aria grabbed a notepad and realized what it was.
"Wren" Aria said. "He's your hookup" Hanna asked. "Why did you just swipe the pad" Emily said.
"It's not mine I've never even seen that before" Spencer said. "You guys in late for my date with Mike" Ava told Aria, Hanna, and Emily. "Go we got this" Emily said and Ava nodded and left.
>>>
"Sorry I'm late a lot has been happening" Ava told Mike. "It's okay I got you your favorite" Mike said.
"Thanks" Ava said and kissed Mike's cheek before sitting down. "Chili cheese fries" Ava asked and Mike smiled at her. "Thanks" Ava said.
"Hey, I was thinking maybe after we could go see a movie before I took you back home" Mike said.
"Yeah, it sounds lovely" Ava said. "Great" Mike said and held her hand. Ava smiled at him causing Mike to smile back.
