Finally around 3am I was allowed to have more pain medication. Even with the sleepy medicine I couldn't sleep. I was wide awake looking at the tv or reading the letters I was given.

But when I got my medicine they said I would probably be knocked out for a long time. To which I responded "I hope so" and they laughed. But I was serious. This pain wasn't fun. It wasn't something I want to feel. But I would take this pain over heart break pain. At least I can explain how this pain feels.

There was a noise that woke me up. My vision was blurry. I made a body out. Wearing a striped outfit with blonde curly hair. They turned around. It was Alison? "Ali?" I breathed out.

"Did you miss me?" She smiled. I couldn't help but smile at her. "Yeah I did" I spoke. Then the realization hit. She was dead. She was long gone and I was in a dream. I would wake up any minute. I had dreams like this all the time.

"Here I am Scar!" Just like she could read my mind. So was this really a dream? "What happened to you?" I asked. "Oh it's complicated Scarlett. You know all about complicated but this is much harder." I curved my eyebrow atleast I think.

"Ali?" "Yes dear?" She would call me dear sometimes. "What happened when you left the barn?"  "You all ready know. The four of you combined. You remember more about the night than you think you do." My eyes felt heavy.

I was so tired but I didn't want to leave this moment .. even if it was a dream. "You know you can tell me the truth. I am good a not sharing secrets" I begged her. "It won't make any difference darling." My heart broke.

"Why would you say that?" I asked. "Because I know. You think the truth is some big shiny disco ball of purity? Then go ahead and try it. Be honest. See what it gets you. Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I am. Take it from me. You will be better off with a good lie and I know you know that Scarlett."

She was right in a way. A good lie will save you from trouble. "But what is the truth can bring you back?" She smiled. "Maybe one day darling" she pulled on her shirt.

"Gotta go." "Where?" "You were brave trying to save Hannah. I always liked that about you. You stood up for your friends." She spoke so gently. "Thank you" "I was so scared you were going to die. That's why I had to come back. I didn't care how dangerous it was. I had to see both of you. I had to see you. You know I really should do something about A. That bitch is genuinely getting on my nerves, Scar"

She started walking towards the door. "Ali wait" I whispered. "Bye Scarlett" I turned my head to see her walk in the hallway. She looked back at me and smiled and walked away.

Am I dreaming? If I was I would wake up right? Dreams don't feel this real do they? My eyes were getting so heavy. I couldn't help but fall asleep

The next night we all met in Hannah's room again. This time I wasn't as high. Emily told us she told her parents about her being gay. Her parents didn't like that. But I'm proud of her.

Aira and Spencer told us the whole tree was down. To the root. I need to get out of here. I have a lot of unfinished work to do out there.

"I'm proud of you Emily! Even if your parents are not supportive you know you always have me and us! We will have be here for you!" I used my good arm to put my hand on hers. She smiled at me. "Thank you Scarlett. It means so much" I smiled.

"So the whole tree? Why? Why show something like that and then just take it away?" Hannah wondered. "Like A had a split personality" Emily finished.

"It makes sense for A to do something like that. You know how they are! They do weird tricks like that all the time!" I mentioned. "That's great! Homicidal and nuts." Hannah said seriously but it could been a little joke.

"We've been thinking maybe we're dealing with more than one person." Spencer added. "A and Ali's killer are two separate people? You are freaking out the invalid" "no think about it!" "No you think about it! I mean aren't we in enough trouble? I know I am just look at me! Look at Scarlett!" I did agree with Hannah.

"She had a point" I spoke. Aria moved the blanket off Hannah's leg. "Hann? Hann, who wrote this?" Aria shouted. "I don't know! People have been and out all day so have I." She answered. "Oh no" "what?" Everyone was shocked.

"What? What's on there?" I tried to lean up to see. "Sorry about losing my temper. My bad. Love A" Aria read. "Who put that on my leg?"

Spencer ran over and looked at my arm. Then she went to my leg. "Oh!" She gasped. "What?" I panicked. "Maybe you will learn to stay out the way. Thought you were smarter than that. Much love, A" she read to me. I gasped myself and started to looking around the best I could.

"Someone had to come in here while you both were sleeping!" Emily wondered. "I don't know! Just get it off! Just wipe it off!" Hannah was panicking.

"What the hell?" The Alison thing come to mind. Was that real or a dream? Was I so knocked out I couldn't feel someone write on me. "No no I don't like this!" I said breathing heavy. "Hey it's okay calm down!" Emily said as she put her hand on my shoulder.

"I don't like this one bit!" My head was stating to pound. "I need to go back to my room! The pain medicine is wearing off to fast!" I started breathing heavy. "Calm down we will take you!" Emily told me. "You are just stressing right now okay?" Aria told me. "Breath in and out" Spencer recommended me. I tried that. It wasn't working. So they wheeled me back to my room.

"Scarlett are you okay?" My head was hurting and I couldn't keep it up. "Nurse!" I heard Spencer shout. "Yes?" She walked over. My eyes were heavy. "Oh goodness okay I got her from here thank you girls!" But I fell asleep after. I don't know what happened.
