Hannas POV

My head hurts so much!
What the hell happened last night?
I just woke up and I still haven't opened my eyes.
I slowly open them and look around.
Where am I?
Everything's spinning but I manage to sit up.
I'm sitting in the sink.
Okay then.
I look around to see Aria and Spencer lying half naked on a window sill.
Okay.
Alison seems cozy on the couch but Emily must've fallen off, because she's below the couch, a leg still on it.
I put my hand to my head.
I decide to be the good friend and start filling glasses with water. They're gonna need this.
I open the cupboards and search for paracetamol, which I find in an instant.
I take some and gulp down water, i'm used to these hangovers.
As I'm drinking, someone groans.
I'm excited for this.
It's Spencer. She's lying on top of aria on the window sill. She's shirtless but she's wearing a bra.
I watch as she slowly opens her eyes and they widen.
I start laughing. Even though it hurts my head when I laugh, God, I can't help my laugh.
She slowly removes herself from Aria.
Eyes still widened from shock.
"Hanna." She whispers looking at me without blinking.
I gesture for her to come over while holding out a glass of water and the packet of paracetamol. She sighs with relief and hastily walks over.
The memories of last night suddenly flow back to me.
I laugh again, realising what had happened.
I made out with Alison, which I find hilarious, Spencer and Aria got it on.
"So, do you remember anything?" I smirk, looking at her with raised eyebrows. She frowns but shakes her head.
"Yeah, I do" She says slowly, turning around to look at Aria.
I laugh again and Spencer death glares me.
I sip my water and shrug.

That's when my phone goes off.
At this point, i've completely forgotten about A, and how he, she, they, it texted us a while ago.
I open the message.

Want to tell Caleb a bedtime story?
-A
Along with the message was a link.
I look at Spencer, who didn't seem to notice that I got a text.
I nudge her and show her the message.
Her eyes widen.
I look at her for reassurance as I press the link. 

It's a picture of caleb.
He's tied to a chair, his face is bloody, swollen.
I drop my phone in shock, waking up Emily and Aria.
"Uh I'll handle them" Spencer says quickly, grabbing the water and giving it to our friends.
"What the fuck" Aria mumbles, holding her hands to her head.
I hold my hand to my head in frustration of the current situation.
"Guys no complaining, no time for hangover talk" I say loudly, waking up Alison.
She stretches and stands up.
"Good morning" She yawns.
I see Emily and Arias mouths drop with shock of Alison being able to stand up without falling.
"I don't get big hangovers" She explains, walking over to me and drinking some water.
I nod, knowing Alison seems okay, I hand her my phone.
She looks confused, but then realises what is happening.
Her eyes widen, looking at me for confirmation that it's true.
I frown and nod.
I haven't even talked to Caleb yet, I don't know what's going on in his life.
We've been texting, kind of.
We planned to have coffee together tomorrow.
But now, our plans are obviously cancelled.

Alison's POV
"Get over it and come over and look at this!" I say, getting more and more frustrated with Aria and Emily, who have refused to stand up.
Emily groans, standing up and slowly walking over.
It takes Aria a minute, but she does the same.
"What?" Aria mumbles, wiping her eyes with her hand.
I hold out the phone, knowing Hanna is probably sick of explaining the situation.

I'm not sure what Spencer is making of the situation.
Emily and her went off into another room to talk, so as curious as I am, I eavesdropped, listening behind the door.
They broke up. That's all I needed to here. I walked away after that, I shouldn't want to go back to my old self and be a mysterious bitch but honestly, deep down I really miss it.
As soon as we all have looked at the phone, A texts again.
It makes me really uncomfortable.
That means that they're watching us, somehow.

Do as I please and Caleb will be sent home, alive
If you refuse to do what I ask, Caleb will still be sent home, but dead.
There will be a delivery arriving at each of your houses soon -A

"Bitch" Hanna mumbles, putting the phone down and pacing.
The phone beeps again. I look at all of the girls.

Also, if you tell each other what I ask each of you to do...
Let's just say that you'll be sorry -A

"Guys ye should go home, in case someone else opens the delivery, whatever sick thing A has planned for us to do" I sigh, fidgeting with the threads on my shirt.
They all nod and proceed to grab their bags.

Emily's POV
I really hate hangovers, but it's not the biggest problem on my plate.
I drive home, my head pounding harder than my heart. I'm just really scared on what cruel thing A is going to make me do.

When I arrive at my house, I take a minute before going in. I found the key to the house but the last time I was here, was when I was in the forest with Maya.
I dread to see my room, so I try and avoid going in to it.

Not long after I get inside, there's a knock at my door. My heart racing, I open it and smile at the mail man as he hands me my small box. I sigh and close the door, taking deep breaths as I slowly open the box.
My heart sinks to my stomach.
I stare at the small wood block with a note glued onto it.

Kiss Paige.

Spencer's POV.
I open the small box and stare at the note.

Don't talk to Toby.

Arias POV
I open the small package.
Bring Mike back to Rosewood

Hannas POV
This is unbelievable.

Tell Lucas you love him

Alison's POV
I slowly open the box and stare at my note.

Break Emily's heart.
