"Good you two are talking" Aria said walking in the room with Ava.

"I was beginning to wonder if I needed to come in here and break you guys up" Ava said. "Now if we could only get Hanna to eat" Aria said and put the plate down.

"We could order those Mozzarella sticks from the brew she loves those" Spencer said. "She's not the only one dang now I want one" Ava said.

"I'll text Mike to get you some" Aria told Ava who smiled while Aria sent a quick text to Mike. "The brew can't deliver the one thing she really wants her mom" Emily said.

"This stuff is getting rock hard" Aria said going to throw the food out when Spencer stopped her.

"No don't throw it out maybe Hanna's dad will eat it when he gets back" Spencer said. "Or he can use it to chisel Ms. Marin out of jail" Emily said.

"There's an idea" Ava said. "I don't think that would go over so well at her arraignment" Aria said.

"What's going on with that anyways has Hanna said anything" Aria asked.

"Only that her dad won't take her to any of the meetings with the legal team" Emily said.

"Well, I'll see what I can find out look it's getting late why don't you three head home and I'll make sure that Hanna gets something to eat before her dad gets back it's time to bust out the big guns cake frosting and a spoon" Spencer said.

"I'm good to stay" Aria said. "Me too" Emily said. "I don't have anywhere I need to be" Ava said.

"The only way we're getting Hanna through this is together" Emily said and Aria held one of Spencer's hands while Emily held the other and Ava held Aria's other hand. "Hey where is she anyway" Ava asked.

"Well at least he fixed the windshield I wonder how long it's gonna take him to fix the rest" Aria said.

"He should've just sold the thing for scrap and started over" Mike said. "Are you forgetting the part where he works at a coffee shop" Ava asked Mike.

"The only four wheels he can afford is a skateboard" Ava told Mike.

Wait, wait, wait don't tell me you two feel sorry for this guy" Mike said to Ava and Aria. "What no of course not" Ava said.

"Sorry, no, no part of me would have gladly taken a whack at that piñata" Aria said.

"Whoever did it, knows Conner's a wuss that he always gets worked by offense hasn't fouled out of a game this season things gets aggressive he backs down every time" Mike said.

"You know you never showed up at Emily's open mic" Aria told Mike.

"Sad chicks in hipster glasses playing the same three chords and whining about their ex yeah no thanks besides I have a girlfriend" Mike said and put his arm around Ava.

"So, you just stayed home" Aria asked. "Really" Mike asked. "I'm not accusing I'm just inquiring" Aria said.

"Hello, I play lacrosse it's a tiny little stick that car was smashed by a bat, a lead pipe, maybe even a sledgehammer" Mike said. "Okay forget I asked" Aria said and the bell rang.

"Ava and I gotta get to class" Mike said and left with Ava.

>>>

"You think your brother is up to something why" Mike asked Ava. "Just a gut feeling, and he's been acting weird" Ava said.

"Oh, and Caleb comes around a lot more just to hang out with my brother their up to something" Ava said. "And you're sure about this" Mike asked.

"Positive I know my brother" Ava said. "Okay well whatever it is I'm sure he's doing it cause he loves you he'd do anything for you even if you disagree" Mike said.

"I just don't want him hurt he shouldn't worry about me" Ava said. "I gotta go dinner tonight" Ava said to Mike. "Sounds perfect" Mike said and Ava kissed him before leaving.

"Ava hey" Ava heard a familiar voice say and turned to see Noel. "Noel hey" Ava said.

"Glad I caught you this is for you someone put it on your locker earlier, but I took it down before anyone seen it and don't worry, I didn't look" Noel said.

"Oh thanks" Ava said taking the note. "It's probably just some guy with a crush" Ava said.

"Do you need a ride home" Noel asked. "Sure thanks" Ava said. "I'll see you in the car" Noel said and left.

Ava opened the letter and read it carefully to herself. "Remember me" the note said as what was shown a smashed car. Ava looked around before quickly putting the letter in her bag and left.

(A/N: again, I am terrible with A texts)

"I wish I'd kept my mouth shut" Spencer said. "Hanna knows it doesn't look good the question is can it get any worse" Aria said.

"I'll go ahead and answer that for you and say yes" Ava said. "Hanna's mom, Emily's parents, my mom, and now my brother" Aria said.

"You think A took a bat to Conner's car" Spencer asked. "Please this has A spray painted all over it" Aria said and Emily walked in. "Come on guys let's go" Emily said.

"To your doctor's appointment" Aria said. "Em it's just a shot" Ava said.

"This is about who shot Wilden we still have time to find another murder suspect" Emily said. "And maybe save Hanna's mom whatever it is we're in" Spencer said.

"Good cause we're breaking into Wilden's apartment" Emily said.

"As tempting as that sounds I can't I have dinner plans with Mike, and I rather not go to jail have fun" Ava said and left.

>>>

"You got me mozzarella sticks" Ava said smiling sitting down at the table.

"Of course, the moment Aria said you wanted mozzarella sticks and to get you some I did I mean I would've anyways without her telling me because I know how much you love them" Mike said.

"I love you too thank you" Ava said and gave him a quick kiss. "Hey, I love you whatever you want you get no question" Mike said and Ava smiled.

"I still wonder what I did to deserve an amazing boyfriend like you" Ava said. Mike smiled and kissed Ava once more. "Come on let's eat" Mike said and they ate.

The next day as soon as Mike told Ava what was happening, she rushed to him as quick as she could.

Ava saw Mike and sat next to him holding his hand. Mike looked up and saw Ava. "You're here" Mike said. "Of course, I am and I'm not leaving till everything is okay" Ava said.

"Yes of course" Hackett said on the phone. Ezra walked into the hall and saw Mike and Ava.

"I understand" Hackett said and Ezra went to Hackett. "Mr. Hackett, may I have a word" Ezra asked.

"Can it wait" Hackett asked. "I'm rather in the middle of something" Hackett said. "It's actually about this please it will only take a moment" Ezra said.

"Officer, may I call you back" Hackett said going into the empty classroom. Ezra went after him and closed the door behind them.

"Is she seeing him again" Mike asked Ava. "Not that I know of" Ava said. "Could they have gotten together again without you knowing" Mike asked. "Possibly" Ava said.

>>>

"You're a crap liar you do know that right" Mike told Aria. "Excuse me" Aria said.

"Video chatting with mom come on they could have checked that we got sausage king in the way home and Ava's staying over she's in the dining room" Mike said going to leave when Aria stooped him.

"That sounds like a celebration" Aria said. "What happened" Aria asked. "Actually, Mr. Fitz happened" Mike said.

"What do you mean" Aria asked. "He talked to Hackett and the next thing I know Hackett's telling Conner and his dad that if the police have no prints or witnesses, he's got no reason to expel me, now I kinda wish I had done it or done something" Mike said.

"Come on Mike that's not you" Aria said. "Maybe it should be if anything like this happens to you again, I want to be ready now come eat" Mike said and left.

Mike walked into his room seeing Ava already sat on the bed only wearing one of his shirts.

Mike took off his shirt tossing it before taking off his jeans as he now was only in boxers. Mike sat beside Ava on the bed and saw the look on her face.

"Babe, hey" Mike said shaking Ava causing her to look at him. "What is it" Mike asked. "A sent me something" Ava said.

"What did she send you" Mike asked. "A couple of years ago when you were in Ireland, and I was still living with my adoptive dad, and he started beating me" Ava said and stopped as Mike listened.

"Sometimes I would do anything just to keep him from beating me literally anything even just for a little while and Ali knew that" Ava said.

"Ava what did you do" Mike asked. "Please don't hate me" Ava said.

"Hey, I could never hate you" Mike said. "Now what is it" Mike asked.

"I dressed in all black even out a mask and gloves on so I wouldn't get caught climbed out of my bedroom window found an old baseball bat with did this" Ava said and shown Mike the picture.

"Whose car is this" Mike asked. "My dad's not Jason but the one who hated me the one I grew up with" Ava said. "You did that" Mike asked.

"Yeah, I almost got caught too and I would have too if Ali didn't get me out of there" Ava said.

"Why was she there" Mike asked. "She helped me even knowing that if I got caught, I could go to jail" Ava said. "Oh, Ava baby" Mike said and Ava looked down.

Mike made Ava face him. "I don't hate you I could never hate you and I'm glad you told me this just know I understand you did what you did, you did whatever you could to keep breathing" Mike said and Ava nodded as tears fell but Mike quickly wiped them away.

"Mike if anyone finds out" Ava said when Mike interrupted her. "No one will find out I won't let them" Mike said.

"Okay" Ava said, and Mike laid down pulling Ava to lay on top of him and they fell asleep for the night.
