Ava, Aria, Hanna, Emily, and Spencer were all at Spencer's after staying the night last night and they all had read the letter A sent to Aria's mom.

"A sent this letter to my mom" Aria said. "You know it's not your fault right it's your dad's mistake totally" Emily said. "Yeah, he shouldn't have asked you to keep it secret" Ava said.

"No, it is my fault" Aria said. "You did not hook up with her and then asked your kid to cover for you" Spencer said. "Ali said I should've told my mom right after it happened" Aria said.

"Ali, Alison knew" Emily asked. "Yeah, she was with me" Aria said. "So, Alison saw this Meredith person" Spencer asked.

"Meredith her name is Meredith eww that's not even a cute girl name I'm seeing big pores and mousy roots" Hanna said. "Hanna it may be a little too soon to joke" Ava said.

"I'm sorry but if you're gonna cheat you might as well do it with somebody who deep conditions her hair occasionally" Hanna said.

"Hanna enough" Ava said. "Here put something in your mouth besides your foot" Spencer said giving her some food and Hanna had faced Aria.

"I'm sorry okay look all in saying is that when my dad left laughing sometimes helped so did crying" Hanna said. "My father hasn't left guys" Aria said making her way to the girls.

"I mean this happened over a year ago" Aria said and noticed everyone's look. "You think he's gonna leave" Aria asked.

"Look whatever happens we're here for you" Emily said and everyone stayed silent for a moment.

"Thank you, guys, for staying here I couldn't have been here alone" Spencer said.

"When's your family getting back" Hanna asked. "This afternoon" Spencer said. "Weren't you gonna clean off the mirror before they get here" Aria asked. "You want me to come with" Emily asked.

"I'll come with too" Ava said. "We should all go" Aria said. "Uh yeah you know what it doesn't take five of us to clean a mirror so why don't you four go and I'll just wait here" Hanna said.

"Fine okay you stay here alone but make sure you lock the door" Aria said.

"Great you spray I'll wipe" Hanna said and they all went to head to Spencer's room when Hanna's phone rang.

"Well, the creature's back we should have never unblocked our phones" Hanna said and they all read the message. "Ever wonder what's going on when your back is turned - A" the message said.

"Open the attachment" Aria said and Hanna did, revealing a video of them in the house looking at the mirror. "Is that" Ava asked.

"That's us" Aria said. "Was that shot from inside your closet" Aria asked Spencer. "A was watching us" Spencer said.

Ava, Emily, Hanna, Spencer, and Aria had gone in Spencer's room.

Spencer opened her closet causing a bag to fall down as they all screamed. "Guys" Aria said and went to pick up the lipstick.

"Check it out" Aria said and opened the lipstick before putting some on her hand. She walked to the mirror and put her hand next to it showing it matched.

Mike walked into Aria's room seeing she was doing her makeup. "How do you not poke your eyeball" Mike asked. "What's up" Aria asked. "Uh nothing" Mike said and Aria faced him.

"Look um are mom and dad acting weird with each other" Mike asked. "What do you mean" Aria asked.

"I mean I don't I don't know there is there's a vibe" Mike said. "Yeah maybe" Aria said. Aria gone to grab her bag and made her way back to Mike.

"Look don't worry about it okay" Aria said. "There's something else" Mike said. "What" Aria said.

"About Ava, I overheard you guys talking last night" Mike said. "How much did you hear" Aria asked worried. "Just that Ava's in love with me" Mike said.

"Oh well how do you feel about that" Aria asked. "I don't know I mean I never really thought about it" Mike said.

"You're saying there's not a part of you that likes her the same way she likes you" Aria asked. "I don't know maybe" Mike said.

"Mike, I see the way you look at her even before you were friends the way you got so excited when you knew Ava was coming over along with the others how you always made an excuse to stay home or to come with me to see her" Aria said. "Okay maybe I do I just never really thought about it much" Mike said.

"You sure about that can you name one thing that you like about her" Aria asked.

"Well, there's her hair how it glows just under the right sunlight how she cares more about others than herself how her eyes sparkle when she's talking about something she loves the way she always gets so happy when she plays video games" Mike said.

"So let me ask this" Aria said. "How do you feel about her" Aria asked.

"I think I might like her more than a friend, but I don't know" Mike said. "What do you mean you don't know" Aria asked.

"If we go out and we break up, would we stay friends or just be exes" Mike asked.

"She's my best friend Aria I know that she's yours too but after everything that happened with your friend Alison, we got close, and I really got to know her I don't ever want her out of my life" Mike said.

"What if I lose her if we date and it doesn't work out and we're no longer friends because it's just too awkward to see each other" Mike asked.

"That will never happen okay you know Ava she wouldn't let that happen you mean so much to her Mike, I can see it the way her eyes light up when she sees you or how her smile gets bigger when she sees you coming her way and how everything could be falling completely apart all she has to do is look at you" Aria said and Mike nodded.

"I just need a little bit more time to think about this" Mike said. "Okay" Aria said. "You're only gonna do one eye" Mike asked. "Is that a new cyclops, look" Mike asked and left the room while Aria put her bag down and did her other eye.

Spencer, Ava, Aria, Hanna, and Emily were all at Spencer's locker at school when Aria said she believed Jenna was the one who broke into Spencer's house.

"You cannot seriously think that a blind girl broke into my house that would take a lot more than a talking GPS" Spencer said. "Well, I didn't say that she was alone" Aria said.

"Would you lay off my brother please" Ava asked. "Yeah, let's not go to the Toby place okay" Emily said.

"Why not you guys think her guide dog left behind his lipstick" Aria asked. "Okay I'll catch up with you guys later" Ava said and left quickly.

Ava was on her way to meet the girls once school was done when Mike texted her, so she quickly told the girls that she, meet up with them on another time and went to the Montgomery house.

She knocked on the door and waited for Mike to answer. Mike answered the door and saw Ava as he smiled, and she couldn't help but smile back almost like his smile was contagious to her.

"Mike hey is everything okay" Ava asked. "You said it was important" Ava said. "Yeah, I just I think I" Mike stuttered to say.

"Mike what is it you can talk to me" Ava said. "I just really needed your help studying I'm sorry I should have waited till after you and the girls and" Mike said.

"No, it's okay I mean I could have helped after but since I'm here" Ava said and made her way in and the two went to the sofa and started to study.

Mike kept looking at Ava admiring the way her beauty shines. Ava had looked over and noticed Mike looking at her. "What" Ava said.

"I just I don't know what I'd do without you Avs" Mike said and Ava smiled. "Same here" Ava said smiling. "I'm sure you'd be okay" Mike said. "No, I wouldn't you mean everything to me Mike, I mean it" Ava said and Mike looked at her.

"You have no idea what I'd do for you do you" Ava asked. "Guess not" Mike said. "I'd do anything for you anything" Ava said and Mike smiled before they went back to studying with Mike stealing glances at her every so often not realizing Ava was doing the same.

Mike had gone into Aria's room the next day hearing their parents fighting. "Okay I told you something was up" Mike said.

"Can you hear them" Mike asked. "Look whatever it is it's not about us" Aria said. "How do you know" Mike asked. "I just do" Aria said and got up facing him.

"Look go get your stuff text Ava we'll go to the library we'll study there" Aria said.

"I studied with Ava yesterday" Mike said. "Then study again or take her out for food either way you get to spend more time with her figure everything out" Aria said.

"Okay but for how long" Mike asked. "Just get your stuff" Aria said and Mike left going to get his stuff.

Later that night Mike and Aria were at home and Aria went up to Mike's room giving him some food. "What is this" Mike asked. "Dinner" Aria said sitting on the bed. "Mind if I cut in" Ava asked coming in.

"What are you doing here" Mike asked smiling. "Aria texted me figured I could brighten your day not sure why but hey any excuse to see my best friend" Ava said and sat next to Mike.

"You hungry" Aria asked. "No, I'm good" Ava said and Mike secretly moved closer to Ava.

"Is mom still in her room" Mike asked Aria. "Yeah" Aria said. "And dad" Mike asked and Aria shook her head.

"Do you think they're gonna work this out" Mike asked. "I really don't know" Aria said. Ava held Mike's arm in a comforting way and Mike smiled at her.

"Thanks, Avs" Mike said and she nodded, and they continued to watch TV.
