Pretty Little Liars - The Fifth Liar

Chapter Twenty One - Monsters in the End

I really should just keep my mouth shut when I think things can't get any worse. Fibres have been found on Spencer's bracelet. We were sat in the Apple Rose Grill.

"Do you think somebody rubbed that sweater on your bracelet?" Aria wondered

"Somebody? You mean Ian." Emily retorted "He's doing everything he can to make you look guilty. Your parents should hire you a 24 hour bodyguard."

"What about Jenna? What if she paid Caleb to get that bracelet?" Aria added. I rolled my eyes, conspiracy theories were getting us no where

"Wait when was Caleb in Spencer's house?" Emily wondered

"He doesn't need an invitation. He broke into a vending machine with a spork." Aria replied, joining in with the latest theory.

"Guys I think we're being watched." Spencer pointed to the window meaning that she thought someone was outside, all I saw was the dummies for the festival.

"They're for the founders festival" I huff then take a sip of my drink

"Who spit in your iced tea?" Spencer questioned

"Eww, no one, i hope." i put my glass down "I just think were seeing conspiracies where there are none. Caleb is a jackass yes, he messed with Hanna but there is a difference between jackass and A."

"But if Caleb was..." Emily went to reply when Hanna cut her off.

"Can we stop using the C word?"

"Look I know this is hard for you Hanna, but we have to talk about Ca- him." Aria responded. We didn't, they just wanted to and it was really upsetting her.

"If we want to help Spencer, we have to know what Caleb knows." Emily tells her

"Guys there is someone defiantly out there." Spencer muttered. I glanced at her then back outside

"If me and Emily cornered Caleb somewhere Jenna-Free..." Aria ignored Spencer's comment but I wasn't I was fixing my gaze on outside

"If Caleb is gonna talk to anyone it's gonna be me." I heard Hanna, I broke my gaze

"Then will you talk to Caleb then and shut them up." I ask annoyed with the whole thing already, Toby, Jason, Caleb. Was any male associate of ours not a suspect for 'A'?

"For Spencer, sure." Hanna agreed

"Thanks Hanna." We made our way to leave I went out first looking over a the festival figures.

"Let's go, Ri." Aria called over. We did and made our way home

------------

I leaned against my locker waiting for Aria to put her stuff in hers. My head rested against the cold metal when I remembered that i needed to tell her something, that couldn't be shared in front of our parents.

"So...I'm gonna leave the festival a little early." I smiled

"Why? What's going on?" she wondered closing her locker and giving me her full attention

"Jason's finally got his apartment, it's temporary but it's somewhere close. I'm gonna go and see him." I explained and one of her eyebrows raised

"Do, Mom and Dad know?"

"Nope, though I think they suspect I've been talking to him or haven't you noticed?" she looked confused

"I say I'm going out, usually to meet one of you but you know me I can be vague. Dad asks where and I just say out. He then nods and continues with whatever he's doing." I elaborated, how could she not have noticed or at least picked up on what had been going on lately.
