#Spencer killed Alison

[nocakesformissedith]

do you prefer spencer as ali’s killer, emily as ali’s killer, hanna as A or aria as A?

These are all great; but honestly my go to will always Spencer as Alison’s killer (or almost killer; or Bethany’s killer; or Courtney’s killer… all interconnected theories lol). Lately though I have been so intrigued by the idea of Aria Is A— specifically one that doesn’t use ableist misinformation as her “motive” and instead delve into all the little hints the show never really explored about Aria/Alison having some sort of twisted Heavenly Creatures relationship. Thank you for the ask!! 💜💜

[keiphoria]

the trend of showrunners, storywriters, and other story driven creatives being so hellbent on trying to outsmart their audience that they ultimately make lazy-seeming and/or nonsensical and/or downright bad story choices for the sole purpose of not doing what fans predicted is so boring. if your audience can guess where the story is going that isnt a bad thing, it just means youve set your story up well.

[jinxedgods]

its so weird how pretty little liars (the tv show) made characters who were sexual abusers innocent cute boyfriends. PLL was originally a book series. Toby was a creep who inappropriately touched his sister,Jenna, and eventually commits suicide when Emily confronts him about it. The night Alison disappeared, Jenna and Alison conspired to kill Toby with a firework. It ended up blinding Jenna instead, but she was so desperate to end the abuse that she doesn’t care and is thankful Alison helped her.

In the show, Jenna LIED about being abused to send Toby to jail because he didn’t sleep with her???? Toby and Spencer form a cutesy couple?? Jenna is an evil bitchy villain for multiple seasons. She is blind for some unrelated reason.

Now, EZRA FITZ. In the show, a perfectly normal guy who dates a girl who just happens to be his student. Their relationship only has downsides because of random soap opera drama and the legal issues surrounding teacher/student relationships. Nothing to do with grooming. No power imbalance. No abuse or manipulation on Ezra’s part. In later seasons Ezra turns out to be morally fucked up — not because he’s a huge perv — but because of random soap opera shenanigans. Before that, he’s an upstanding guy. And don’t tell me the showrunners planned for him to eventually become some half-baked bad guy. They had no idea what was coming next at any point in the show. Him and Aria get married and we are supposed to be happy.

Book Ezra Fitz literally gets fucking arrested. The police break in while him and Aria are together and it’s fucking humiliating. As soon as Aria tries to get back together with him, he’s kissing another student. Because in PLL (the books) grooming is bad!

[mollysmonsters]

Yes, OF COURSE Spencer Hastings should've kissed girls, but if she had, she'd be too powerful and Alison would've killed her.

[ninja-muse]

So it's somehow the end of May? Not sure how that happened, even though I have been busy so of course the time has flown by! Things done this last month include hosting family multiple times, visiting my first cat café, visiting family, wedding reception, and baking my first rhubarb pie. Somehow I managed to fit 9 books and 2 DNFs in there, and was very good about not taking too many ARCs home. I didn't even buy anything!

Also, this is the first time I think I've ever underpacked physical books for a holiday. I thought for sure that the SF book I popped in my bag would last me at least three days but no, A History of What Comes Next was a fast read and lasted one. Thank goodness for Libby and my cache of T. Kingfisher e-novellas, is all I'm saying. Reading those back to back got my reading goal back on track for the year.

Novel is still progressing apace. Digger is still not shipped. It is reading outdoors weather but I've yet to do so. Nothing else to report.

FADE TO BLACK.

Next day Alison tells the lairs that she killed Alison and she is actually Courtney Spencer aria Emily and Alex and Hanna and Stella forgive Courtney and keep her secret

[bluesadansey]

Emily being called the weakest of the liars/ Spencer and Alison the defacto leaders being weak for her does something to me.

Yeah and I think this puts an interesting perspective on late s3 when Emily acts as the defacto leader while Spencer is in Radley. And that’s also around the time she has that hypno dream of killing Alison which is a recurring thing for Spencer so the idea that comes with assuming leadership role in some capacity is tasty.

i will never get over how spencer’s parents react to this. even if they think she’s unstable and wrong about ian killing alison, they just had proof that he dated alison when she was 14/15. iirc at this point her mom at least suspects that he dated spencer herself after he broke up with melissa, and melissa already knows it for a fact.

of course this was set up from the beginning, because they reacted like it was spencer’s fault when wren kissed her. like all of this is about spencer being promiscuous or going after older men, and not at all the fault of the poor, innocent adult men who preyed on her inside her own home.

it’s interesting to think about the similarities and differences between her situation and aria’s. aria’s parents don’t condone her relationship with ezra once they find out, and they do seem to think it is primarily his fault (although they put a lot of the blame on her as well, but they seem to at least understand he’s the adult in the situation and therefore more responsible). bur it was a long time before they found out, and the only reason they did was because of -A. so spencer’s parents are deliberately neglectful, and repeatedly fail to protect spencer, but aria’s parents are neglectful without realizing it.

ella actually blames byron for teaching aria to keep secrets and for setting up a bad example by dating his own student. she’s at least partially right of course, byron’s involvement with his student and the environment of secrecy he created and made aria participate in did contribute to her justifying ezra’s actions. in fact, there’s a scene where byron justifies his involvement with meredith by saying he got swept up by his emotions -- the same excuse ezra gives for his involvement with aria.

but there’s more to it. when ella wants a separation, she tells byron to move out and he refuses, so she’s the one who has to leave. byron is manipulative, so i understand ella’s actions up to a point, but she simply left her children behind with their father, and this is just an extension of her own distant parenting style, which contributed to aria keeping all those secrets. their family life is oddly distant, no one communicates honestly with anyone else.

ella leaving also leaves aria more vulnerable to byron. the show never commits to him being abusive, but it does hint that he was abusive and violent towards women, including meredith (and in my heart i still think he should’ve been the one who killed alison). aria becomes increasingly more afraid of him once she starts to suspect him, to the point where she no longer feels safe in her own home, much like spencer.

[alicenthiightower]

the liars rated by who would get eaten first in a yellowjackets scenario

alison, 10/10, would eat spencer if they didn’t get her first

aria, 5/10, would condone cannibalism first bc ezra got her to read a book about it, would kill spencer

emily, 0/10, nearly starves herself to death before she even considers it

hannah, 8/10, would never eat anyone but would kill alison by mistake possibly

mona, 10/10, is the antler queen

[fourlynchclover]

how fucked up is it that spencer is terrified of ian and thinks he killed alison and her family makes her be around him CONSTANTLY anyway

[cherienymphe]

I think i remember reading somewhere that Marlene was going to make Aria be A or Wren be involved and then fans figured it out so they changed the whole ass plot last minute and made Charles be transgender and go by CeCe and Spencer having a twin ???😭 They should have went with Aria being A that would have been amazing or at least stick to Alison having a twin that killed her

Yup yup! She wanted to outsmart us sooo bad 🙄

[celiamae99]

season 1, episode 2 : the one with the jenna thing

The five of us were sitting around The Grill. There weren't many people there, just an older couple, and a few waiters and waitresses standing around. Even then, we still weren't talking loudly.

"Why was Jenna there?" Aria asked the question we were all thinking.

"I guess she's back," Spencer responded.

"I don't like it." I said, and they all stared at me. "What? With her around, we have something to lie about. Something to be guilty about. We ruined her life."

"That cop acted like we were suspects or something." Hanna stated, and she wasn't wrong. He totally did.

"Do you think we looked guilty?" Emily asked, panicking a little.

"Why would we?" Aria asked her. "We haven't done anything wrong."

"Ugh, except you know, we ruined Jenna's life." I snapped. Aria acting like we never did anything to Jenna made me mad. Yeah, Jenna wasn't my favorite person and never would be, but we were all there that night.

"Except lie about "The Jenna Thing"." Hanna defended me and made the point to Aria.

"We promised we'd never bring up "The Jenna Thing" again. Remember? It never happened." Spencer told us.

Emily, who was sitting to my left, reached over and grabbed my water, and took a drink. "This conversation is making me paranoid."

"I'd say I'd order us another one but we're talking about things that we promised never to bring up." I glared at Spencer and Aria.

"Have you found a way to forget? I still wake up sometimes in the middle of the night - " Aria told us.

"Aria, it was an accident." Spencer told her, trying to make her feel less guilty about the situation.

"Was it though?" I whispered, but only Emily and Hanna heard me.

Emily looked down at the friendship bracelet that Alison had made each of us. They were identical . Hanna took the opportunity to dump the rest of the alcohol from the funeral in her soda. The old man stared at her, judging.

"It's medicinal." She told him, but he clearly didn't believe her. "Cramps!" I had to stifle my laugh as the man finally looked away.

"I don't get it," Emily said.

"Don't get what?" I asked her, because there were a lot of things that I didn't get.

"How does A know something about me that only Alison knew?"

"Ali knew all our secrets, but," Aria started, she took a breath. "We never knew any of hers."

"I knew some." Spencer told her.

"Me too." I said quietly. I didn't like knowing Alison's secrets.

"Go on," Aria prompted us.

I looked at Spencer and all but pleaded with her to talk. I did not want to.

"I can't," She finally admitted after our staring contest.

"I'm not sharing what I know until you share what you know!"

"She'd kill me if I told you." Spencer told the girls.

"She's dead." Hanna deadpanned.

Spencer thought for a second before she blurted it out. "Ali was seeing someone that summer."

"I knew she was keeping something from me!" Emily said, upset. I chose to ignore the fact that Emily liked Alison because I knew she would tell me when she was ready to. "I mean us." She added quickly.

"Well, why didn't she want us to know?" Aria asked Spencer, also ignoring Emily's comment.

"He was an older boy." Spencer admitted. "And he had a girlfriend."

"Who was it?" Emily pried.

"Can we at least have his initials?" Hanna asked her.

"She never told me his name." Spencer responded.

"That's only half a secret." Hanna deadpanned again.

"It's more than you ever got from her!" Spencer defended herself. "Well, except for maybe you, Lily. But you would've told Hanna."

"True, and I did tell Hanna. But... I think Ali knew what she was doing that night." I said slowly. "I think Ali wanted to hurt Jenna. And I know she said that she didn't know that Jenna was there." I said quickly, taking a breath. "But part of me thinks that she wanted to hurt both Toby and Jenna that night. She didn't care who was in the garage."

"And you know this how?" Spencer asked me.

"She made a comment the next day about how Jenna had it coming."

The girls were quiet for a moment before Aria spoke up again. "How is it that Ali told us nothing, but we told her everything?"

Emily hit the nail with the hammer with her comment, "Because she made us feel like we were a part of something special."

"We were." Hanna and I said in unison.

"I miss that," Aria sighed.

"Me too," Spencer agreed.

"I miss Ali," Emily told us.

Hanna glanced at Emily's wrist to wear her bracelet from Ali sat. "I can't believe you still wear that."

"Ali still wears her too," Emily defended. "Wore." She said quietly, realizing her mistake.

Spencer filled the gap of silence. "When Ali didn't come home that night, I knew something terrible must have happened, but there was always some part of me that imagined someday she'd just show up."

"Yeah. I used to think that maybe she'd just...Run off with some guy." Aria told what she wished for Ali.

"She was laying on a beach somewhere." Emily added wistfully, nodding along.

"Or getting a tan out by the pool with that hot lifeguard." Hanna laughed, making me giggle.

"Oh, yeah. What was his name?" Aria said smiling.

"Who cares?" I asked, laughing.

"Save me!" Hanna said dramatically, pretending to pass out in my arms, making us all giggle.

Next thing we knew, Jenna was tapping her way into The Grill. We glanced at each other before quietly making our escape.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dad, I'm telling you, she slept with that detective!" I informed my father.

"Well, even if she did, she did it to save Hanna's ass. And let me tell you something, if you ever do anything illegal, I will kick your ass so hard, especially if you don't tell me." I thought of The Jenna Thing. Should I tell my dad the truth? Just then, my phone buzzed.

I pulled it out, looking at who it was from.

"Thinking about telling Daddy about Jenna? Might want to consider all the other beans you'd have to spill... starting with this one." The picture attached, was a picture of Noel and me hooking up in his car.

- A

Crap.

"Hello?" My dad called me. "Anybody home in there?" I snapped out of my gazed and looked 

to him. I quickly put my phone away.

"Yeah, yeah. What were you saying Dad?"

"Who was that?" Crap.

"Just, just Spencer." I said quickly.

"Spencer? I thought you guys weren't friends anymore?" Dad asked, confused.

"We... We started talking again." I said absentmindedly like it was nothing.

"Okay." He said, suspicious of my behavior.

We turned to the morning news, where Detective Wilden was making a statement to the press. "The coroner did release his findings this morning, and although Alison Di Laurentis' body did show signs of a blunt-force head trauma, the cause of her death was suffocation." Dad shut the TV off.

"Enough of that. Is Noel picking you up today?" Dad questioned.

"No," I said absently. "He's got practice so Hanna is."

"Then why is she picking you up?" Dad asked, confused. "Lily! For God's sake put your phone away!"

"What?" I asked him, startled, looking up from my phone.

"Put the phone away and have a conversation with me."

"Okay."

"Well?" He asked, waiting for me to respond.

"Well, what?" I asked him, confused.

"Why is Hanna picking you up?"

"Oh, because Hanna doesn't do sports and Noel has early morning practice. Noel is bringing me home after school. That, and we have a biology test tomorrow, and I don't know anything that's going on in that class."

"I presume that's one of the five classes you have with Noel?"

"Yep, and while science is not his forte, he definitely knows more than me. And enough to help me."

"Okay," Dad nodded. "I work late tonight, so I'm going to see if Hanna and Ashley can come over."

"What?" I demanded. "Why?"

"Because I don't want you two home alone together." Dad said plainly.

"Dad!"

"What?"

"I thought we got over this."

"We did. Until I found out you were having sex."

"Dad!"

"Well, you are."

"I'm going to kill Hanna."

"I'm getting you birth control, one of us can pick it up tomorrow at the pharmacy. But until then, I don't trust you two alone."

"Oh my God, Dad."

"When you decided to have unprotected sex you lost my trust."

My phone buzzed.

I'm here

- Han

"Hanna's here." I snapped at my dad. "I'm leaving."

"I know that you're mad at me," Dad started to say.

"That's a freaking understatement."

"But I'm doing this because I love you."

"Ya know, maybe you should talk to Mrs. Marin again, and this time you can tell her that you took away my life." I slammed the door behind me and all but ran to Emily's car.

"You're being dramatic!" He yelled out the open window.

"Where do you think I get it from?" I yelled  straight back at him.

"What's got you in a mood?" She asked as I got in, giving me her concerned look.

"You're mother."

"What?" She said, puzzled. "What does that have to do with anything?"

"Just drive, before my dad takes any more of my life away."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After we got to school, I beelined straight to Noel, who was at my locker.

"We're going to study tonight, right?" He asked, hugging me.

"I'm going to try. Dad said we aren't allowed to be alone together." I sighed, still completely annoyed with the situation.

"Why? I thought we got past that months ago?"

"We did." I deadpanned. "But Hanna saw me ditch the other day and long story short, her mom told my dad and now my dad won't let us be alone together."

"That's," He started to say.

"Don't say it. Okay? Just, don't." I rubbed my forehead. "Let me talk to Hanna. Maybe we can do a study night at Sean's and we can slip away for a while, okay?"

Noel slid his hands into my back jeans pockets, thumbs close to my back. "If not, we can always skip health class again," He whispered in my ear. "Or history. Or even a whole day." between each sentence, he kissed me. When he finished, my hands were at the nape of his neck and I was breathless. I pulled him close to me and just as we started to kiss, the intercom interrupted us.

"Will the following students please come to the office : Emily Fields, Lily Grey, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin." I groaned and pulled away from my boyfriend.

"Talk to Sean please." I begged him. 

He nodded at me. "Promise."

"Okay, good!" I kissed him again, before Spencer grabbed my hand and dragged me away from Noel.

As we caught up with the other three, Aria's phone went off. "Wait, it's from - A."

Hanna looked over Aria's shoulder and read the text aloud. "Dead girls walking."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once we were all in the office, we were interrogated by Detective Wilden, who was easily becoming my least favorite human being.

"So let's see..." He said, looking at the file before pointing at Spencer. "You thought you heard her scream?" 

"I - I said that, yeah." 

"And when you four woke up in the barn, Alison was gone, and so was Spencer?" He asked the rest of us. I wiggled in my spot. I hated this. I squeezed closer to Hanna and Spencer.

"Yes, I woke up before them." Spencer saved us from having to talk. "And I realized that Ali was missing, so..." She trailed off.

"So you went looking for her." He filled in the blanks.

"That's what happened." Spencer said with a fake smile.

"I got that. So," He said, looking at us. "Was this a slumber party, or...?" I did not like this man. How on earth did he become a cop, much less a detective?"

"Is this an interrogation?" Spencer asked him.

"It feels like an interrogation," I mumbled to the girls.

"No, just a routine follow up. Why did you guys fall asleep?" He asked another question, making this really feel like an interrogation.

"I guess we were tired," Aria told him.

"Tired? Really." He didn't believe us. "Is that how you remember it? Hanna? Lily?"

"Yeah," We said in sync, quietly.

"Yeah, you guys were tired." He said in that same condescending tone as before, like we were lying about that night. But little did he know, we didn't lie about that night, just a different night. 

"Look," Spencer said, trying her best to sound like her mom. In her defense, her mom was a lawyer. "We've told you everything we know, just like the night she went missing."

"I know, and you see, the thing is, it's almost exactly what you said last year -- almost like it was rehearsed." This man was getting on my every last nerve.

"Like Spencer said, we've told you everything we know." Aria added.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the cafeteria, we were all together again. "He knows we're lying." Aria stated the obvious.

"No shit, Aria. You should be a detective." I snapped at her.

"Lying is not a crime." Hanna said.

"It is when you're giving false statements to the police. It's called obstruction of justice."

"And it is a crime." I added as an afterthought to Spencer's statement.

"Oh please!" Hanna snapped. "We lied about drinking. But the truth that matters is we don't know anything about what happened to Ali that night." She, like me, was losing her temper. It was never good when the two of us lost our tempers about the same thing.

"We also know about someone who might have wanted to hurt her." Spencer told us.

"We should have told the police the truth about Jenna's accident the night it happened." Emily scolded, as if none of us had wanted to tell the police.

"We wanted to," Hanna explained, pointing between the two of us. "Remember?" I nodded in agreement. We did want to tell the police when it had happened, but Ali had talked us out of it.

"We had a chance to do more than just tell the truth. We had a chance to stop Ali." Aria revealed, as if we actually had a chance to stop Alison from doing anything she wanted to do.

"But we didn't." Spencer interrupted my thought. "And telling the police now about what happened to Jenna isn't going to make her see again. It'll just ruin our lives."

"Will it? If Jenna knows that we weren't involved and that we genuinely feel bad about what happened to her, it might make her less angry about the situation." I explained my thought process.

All of a sudden, we heard a cane tapping on the floor. Jenna. Aria stood up and walked over to Jenna. 

"Jenna?" Aria asked her. "It's - it's Aria. Do you.." She tried to find her words. "Want to come sit with us?" I glanced across the table to Hanna with a WTF look.

"Sure."

"So you're gonna be between Hanna and Emily. Spencer and Lily are right across from you."

"Thank you." Jenna told her. "So... This would be Alison's chair, right?" She sat down and Spencer nudged me.

I cleared my throat. "No," Emily said. "We're not even sitting at that table."

"We don't sit there anymore." I commented.

"You know, she came to visit me in the hospital after the accident." I looked down at my lunch. I knew that. Alison told me after the fact that she went to see Jenna. That was another reason why I thought that Alison didn't care why Jenna was in that garage that night.

"Alison did?" Spencer asked, confused. I glanced at Spencer before looking down again. Hanna kicked my foot from under the table. I looked up at her and gave a small smile.

"Mm-hm," She hummed. "Everyone misunderstood Alison, but I knew exactly who she was." That was weird. Why would she say something like that to Alison's best friends? Nobody would know her better than us.

Spencer changed the topic away from Alison and back to Jenna. "When did you get back Jenna? We heard that you were in Philadelphia, a school for the... visually impaired."

"You can say blind Spencer." She laughed a little. "It's not a dirty word." Que the awkward silence. I locked eyes with Emily and she bit her lip. "Wow. It's so quiet. You guys used to be the fun table. What happened to you girls?" 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

flashback

We were in Emily's bedroom, clothes were everywhere. We were having a fashion show. We were giggling, having fun. Not a care in the world.

"I see you!" Alison yelled, making us all stop. "Oh my God, I can't believe it." She raked the curtain close to her bedroom.

"Who was it Ali?" Emily asked her. "What did you see?"

"He was in that tree, spying on us! I'm so creeped out!"

"Who was it?" Spencer prodded her to tell us the name.

"It was that perv, Toby Cavanaugh."

"Are you sure?" Aria asked, wanting to confirm who it was before we did anything.

"Yeah, Alison. Are you sure it wasn't just a shadow from the tree?" I asked. I really didn't want to ruin anybody's life, if she didn't know who it was.

"Yes, I'm sure!" She said getting angry. "He was right there! I bet he saw all of us naked." Okay, ew. I didn't want anybody to see me naked.

"Should we tell someone?" Aria asked. We were all wondering what we should do next.

"I mean, we could. But I have a better idea." She smirked, devising a plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fireworks were blasting. Everybody was having fun. Nobody noticed the six girls sneaking around, planning an awful prank.

"Are we sure he's not in there?" Aria asked for the millionth time.

"He's not, okay?" Alison soothed. "You've got the lighter, right Spencer?"

"Let's wait a second." Emily pleaded.

"What, Emily?" Alison asked her, exasperated. 

"I don't want to do this."

"Fine. Go back. You're on your own." Once Alison got an idea in her head, she went through with it. The consequences didn't matter. And it was up to us to fall in line, or get out. There was no in between.

"Okay, maybe Emily's right. We should just call the cops. They'll take care of it." Aria chimed back in. 

"Where's the fun in that?" Alison questioned us. "Girls, Toby Cavanaugh is a freak, and we need to teach him a lesson. If he thinks he can come and spy on us while we're in your bedroom, Emily, he needs to know that his little domain is no longer a safe little hideout. Who knows what he does in there all day?" She asked rhetorically. "That little freak."

"Are you sure it was Toby?" Spencer asked one last time, wanting to make sure it was him before we did anything.

"Ali, are you sure? Because this has consequences, if it ever gets out."

"Yes! And it's a stink bomb, for God's sakes, Lily. We're not nuking the place. Now, let's do it. Give me the lighter." Spencer hands Alison the lighter and I sank back next to Hanna.

"I don't like this." I told her quietly.

"I don't either." She agreed with me.

Alison threw something in Toby's garage and whatever she threw in there, it exploded. Alison ran back to us.

"Ali, what did you do?" Spencer demanded.

"Come on, let's get out of here." She told us.

"Let's go," We all said and ran off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our phones all rang at the same time and I took a deep breath. None of us moved to look at the message until Jenna said, "Aren't you gonna get that?"

If only she could see how guilty you look

- A

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After that, we all made our way to English.

"Okay, people, let's take our seats." Mr. Fitz told everybody. Noel slid off the top of my desk and into the one next to me. Mona walked in, texting on her phone.

"Am I late?" She asked, dumbly. Why she acted dumb all the time was beyond me. She use to be neck and neck with Spencer before she became popular. She might even be smarter than Spencer, she just dumbs herself down.

"It's - it's Mona right?" Mr. Fitz asked her.

"That's right, Mr. Fritz." All of us laughed a little. "What?" She asked all of us.

"Take our seat, Mona. Please." Mona sat down next to Hanna, who was in front of me.

"It's Fitz, not Fritz." Hanna told Mona.

She gave her a coy smile. "Oops." I rolled my eyes before smiling over at my boyfriend, who was already staring at me.

"If the mockingbird represents the idea of innocence, what characters are innocent? Take a second. Jot down your ideas. We'll discuss."

I opened my notebook and jotted down:

Boo Radley was innocent, as well as Tom Robinson. Tom was innocent because his arm was too short to reach the woman. Boo was innocent. We see his kind nature similar, which is similar to the innocence of a mockingbird. 

I was brought out of my thoughts when Aria entered the classroom. She set down a paper on Mr. Fitz's desk and they stared at each other for a couple moments.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey, I'm sorry it's not going to work for you guys to come over tonight." Hanna told me by my locker as I got my stuff out. 

"It's fine." I said, shoving my English and Health binders in and grabbing my Geometry textbook and binder, as well as my biology. "It's my fault. I should have been using protection from the beginning. Your mom did the right thing. It just sucks because it took my dad so long to accept Noel and now I feel like I'm back at square one."

Hanna sighed. "It's hard because your dad thinks of Noel as the guy he was before he started dating you. Noel has really changed in the last year. I think you guys are good for each other."

I smiled bashfully. I looked at the photo in my locker of the two of us from homecoming last year. I was smiling wide, wearing Noel's hat backwards and away jersey, while was in his home jersey. He was smiling widely at the camera. My arms were around his neck and I was perched on his back. "He makes me happy, Han. And not just like, I have a boyfriend and I'm so happy, happy. But in like the, I see his name on my phone and smile, you say his name and I smile. I walk into a room and I look for him, even if I know he's not going to be in the room."

"That's so sweet." Hanna gushed. "Like a sweet Hallmark movie." I pushed the hair out of my face, smiling, before I zipped up my backpack.

"Let's go to Geometry before I embarrass myself even more." I said, closing my locker and spinning the lock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I feel like I'm doing life wrong." Emily sighed, getting in step with me after math was over.

"We all feel that way from time to time, Em." I told her as we made our way to history.

"No, like midlife crisis." Ah. Well, she's got to come to terms with what she feels.

I linked my arm with hers. "Well, whenever you need to talk, I'm always here for you. Nothing will ever change that, okay?"

"Nothing?" She asked, a scared look on my face. She searched my face, almost if she's convinced she'll find me lying.

"Nothing. You're stuck with me Emily Fields."

"Well, that's a risk I'm willing to take." She laughed at me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Dad," I told him when he picked up the phone.

"Hey, Bug." He responded. Tired.

"Is it okay if we study at the library tonight? Hanna said that she and her mom are busy tonight and can't come over. I really need to study for this Biology test and I have no idea what's happening."

"How is it that you are horrible at science, but I'm a surgeon?"

"That is the million dollar question that I would like answered." I smiled a bit. "Is it okay if we go?"

"Yeah, just be home by 9 okay? I have something I need to talk to you about."

"Is everything okay?" I asked, nervously.

"Yeah, yeah, it's fine," He said distractedly. "I'll see you when you get home."

"Okay, bye Dad. Love you."

"Love you too, Bug."

"Okay, that was weird." I said putting my phone away.

"What was weird?" Noel asked, turning to look at me.

"Dad sounded off, like he was exhausted."

"He's a surgeon." Noel said, matter of fact.

"Well, yeah," I rolled my eyes. "But he sounded more distant than normal. Like he wanted to talk about something. I have to be home at 9 because he needs to talk to me."

"I'm sure it's nothing." He promised me. "Now, let's go to the library and make out in the car."

I smiled at him. "I have to study for biology. I truly have no idea what's going on."

"So, we make out for a while, study, and then make out some more?"

"Well, we could do that... or we could study for a bit at the cabin and then..." I trailed off, grinning at him with a knowing smirk.

"But your dad..." he stuttered. I raised my eyebrow at him. "Cabin it is."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Noel dropped me off at home around 8:50. He promised that tomorrow he would pick me up for school.

I unlocked the front door and went into the house. Dad was in the living room, which wasn't surprising. What was surprising was my brother sitting there with him.

"Justin ... hi." I said, confused. He glanced at me, and then back at dad.

"Hi, Lily."

"Dad?" I questioned, wanting an explanation. I hadn't seen Justin since Alison went missing.

"Justin is back." He said pointedly.

"I can see that." I retorted. "Why?"

"Don't be rude." My dad snapped at me and I rolled my eyes.

"It's okay Dad." Justin told him. I glanced between the two of them.

"Justin is back from Uncle Ben's." My dad told me.

"Okay." I said reluctantly.

"And he's going to be staying here."

"Oh." I turned and looked at Justin. "Well, welcome home, I guess."

"Lily." Justin said quietly.

"I'm not going to... I can't do this tonight, okay? Dad, did you go to the pharmacy?"

"Yeah, your medicine is on the table in a bag. The instructions are in there too."

"Okay," I nodded. "Thank you." I grabbed my stuff from the kitchen before going up to my room. I closed the door and sat my stuff down. I took a deep breath before pulling out my phone and texting the girls.

Justin's home.

- LG

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

flashback

We were all laughing. 

"I got you guys something," Alison told us. She gave each of us a little package.

"What's the occasion?" Spencer asked.

"You'll see," She smiles at us. "Open 'em!" She encouraged.

"We'll be friends forever. Can you put mine on for me, Em?" She asked Emily.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hanna was the first to respond to me, which was no shock.

Why?? I thought he left after Ali disappeared.

- Han

He did, and I'm not sure why he's back. He's gotta be up to something. He always is.

- LG

It's a little suspicious. Do you think he wants something?

- Em

Probably. He always does.

- LG

Maybe he and Mike can reconnect? They could help each other.

- Aria

Hopefully. They were always close before Justin left.

- LG

Is Mike still playing lacrosse?

- LG

Yeah, he is. I'll tell Mike he's back and we can go from there.

- Aria

Thanks, Aria. Hopefully he's not back for all the wrong reasons. I also hope that his time in Radley and then at my Uncle's was good for him.

- LG

Oh man, well, if he doesn't join lacrosse, maybe he can do a different sport.

- Spence

Thanks for the support guys. Guess I better go see what's next.

- LG

We love you Lily!

- Em

I love her the most! Lanna forever! <3

- Han

Love you Hanna Banana! <3

- LG

Hanna and Lily's love for each other > their love for us

- Aria

Lol! So true! We're all chopped liver to them.

- Em

You're just jealous!

- LG

Jealous of your love for Hanna? Always.

- Spence

I love you all more than you'll ever know!

- LG

After I finished texting with the girls, I cracked my neck and went to find Justin. But before I left my room, I got a text.

Hmmm... Your brother's back in town... what does that usually mean? Don't fall back to old habits.

- A

I sighed. This was great. Just great.

Review: Vicious

Synopsis:

Vicious is the explosive conclusion to Sara Shepard's #1 New York Times bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, perfect for fans of the hit ABC Family original TV show based on the series.

High school seniors Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer have been through a lot since their best friend, Alison DiLaurentis, disappeared five summers ago. A stalker named "A" has harassed them for their past mistakes and revealed their darkest secrets to the world. They've been on TV, hounded by the press, kicked out of school, arrested, and even put in jail. With time running out, and their lives on the line, one of the Liars does something so terrifying and shocking, fans will be left breathless.

Sara Shepard's fan base continues to grow as ABC Family's hit Pretty Little Liars TV show draws in new readers to the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Full of unexpected twists and shocking revelations, this long-awaited finale to this much-loved series will not disappoint. 

Plot:

They were on trial for killing Ali. Of all the things Ali has done for them, framing them for her murder, and facing life in prison, is probably at the top of the list. With the public siding with the Ali Cats, the Liars have heavy hearts, especially Emily. After losing Jordan, and Ali almost drowning her, Emily's freak out is seen as critical evidence. This leads Emily to a depression as she begins to see no value in her life, especially if it ends her in prison. Aria is also losing hope, and like the fleeting artist that she is, takes more drastic measures to avoid prison time. Luckily for Aria, Noel is back in her life and unwilling to let the girl he loves go to prison for a murder he's pretty sure she did not do. Speaking of love, Hanna and Mike are still madly in love. They are so madly in love, they are willing to stay forever with each other before Hanna is carted away for life. The only Liar who is not losing their head is Spencer. Taking the practical "101 ways to survive prison" route when an old flame makes her realize that life on the outside is better than surviving prison. When a traumatic event puts our liars at odds with each other, they find themselves separated and at the mercy of Ali. Only in this case, Ali is their Judge. With an end in sight, the Liars must fight for their lives to beat Ali for the last time or suffer a lifetime in prison for a crime they swear they did not commit.    

Thoughts:

I love this series, and I am so happy that Sara Shepard let it finish with a bang. Unlike previous stories, this book had several events throughout the novel, allowing more twists and turns than the previous novels. We got to witness the Liars before the trial, during it, after the verdict was heard, and then have the shocking conclusion I did see coming. Still, it was worth it all the same. With easy writing, I hated how Shepard separated the girls for most of this story. What happened made sense; it just sucked that for the last novel our Liars spent it apart rather than being together. Our Liars went back to not being friends as they spent previously in the series, and not as besties for life, as Shepard had them be within the last few installments in the series. I was ready for an entire book about lifelong friends sticking together in their worst movement of their life, instead of Liars barely speaking as their own trial for murder. Despite the Liars hating each other, the pacing of this novel was genius. It made you appreciate every small interaction the girls had. After fifteen other books, this is the last time we will read about Hanna talking to Mike or Spencer making up with Melissa. Call me nostalgic, but I appreciated how many characters Shepard brought back to make their final experience after such a long series. This is why for best and worst, I honestly loved each of the liar's plot lines in this novel, as at this point, it is just so "them" that for their character, it all makes sense. With an epilogue of six months later, the series is over. It had some rough parts in the middle. I generally enjoyed this story for what it represents in the series and how Shepard has given the liars the perfect ending they deserve. 

Also just way better than the show, screw season 7! 

Body Count

As Shepard keeps killing people off, I think it would be a good idea to keep track of who died, but without spoiling the ending of the current book, as her habit is killing them off with two chapters to go. So here is the list of the dead for the previous book #15:

Jenna, Ian, Mona, Toby, Courtney, Tabitha, Gayle, Graham, Kyla, Jordan, Macie, Robin and Ali (?)
