Got lost on my way home… - Chapter 1

Aria Montgomery sat the last of her boxes in her room. It was strange being back here. Hell it was strange being back in Rosewood after all this time. She looked at the mountains of unpacked boxes in her room and sighed. There was no way she was going to get anything done now. Instead, the young woman went downstairs where the rest of her family was unpacking.

"It's great to be back home. Don't you agree?" Her dad, Byron, said putting his arm over her shoulder.

"Iceland wasn't so bad." Aria muttered as she pulled away from him.

Her dad had decided that going on a sabbatical in the middle of her junior year would be the best thing for him and the rest of the family. It seemed like he was trying to get away from something. However, Aria didn't press him on it. She was upset enough at the man and trying to figure out his reasons would just be piling on.

"Aria, look what I found packed in with the pictures." Her mom, Ella, said handing her the frame.

Aria hadn't seen this picture since they moved out. It was of her and her best friends. It seemed like a lifetime ago. There was Hanna, Emily and Allison. And standing next to her with her arm around her waist, was Spencer. Her gaze lingered on the lithe young woman in the picture. Her long brown hair was down for once. She remembered how much of a fight Spence had put up with her that day but it looked good. A smile formed on her lips and for the briefest of moments, Aria was happy.

"Why don't you give them a call, honey?" Her mom said as she placed a vase on the mantle above the fireplace.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Aria sighed and put the picture back in the box.

"Why not? You girls were so close back then…" Ella said with a smile.

"A lot of things can change in a year and half, Mom." Aria felt a wave of regret wash over her. She was in no mood to re-hash the reason why she wasn't speaking to any of them at the moment. If anything, she needed to get out of here.

Almost on cue, her brother Mike came thundering down the stairs.

"Mom! Try-outs are in fifteen minutes! Are you still going to…?"

"I'll take him!" Aria said grabbing the keys from the table.

"Thanks, Aria. Think about it what I said." Ella said from the family room.

"Not likely." Aria mumbled as she followed Mike out of the front door.

Spencer Hastings sat down with her cappuccino at the table in back corner of the restaurant. She just needed a moment to herself. Tomorrow was the first day of senior year and she was surprisingly nervous about it. True she had taken a few classes over the summer to boost her GPA but she still had a lot riding on this year. All she has to do hold her 4.0 for the year and she was a lock to get into Princeton.

She took a sip of her drink and of course the guy working behind the counter had gotten it wrong.

I swear he would screw up boiling water… Spencer thought as she made her back up to the counter.

As the honor student made her way towards the counter, she noticed there was a girl standing there already. Spencer froze right there in the middle of the store.

"It couldn't be…" Spencer whispered. It had been a year since the last time she saw her. The hair was different. She had finally gotten rid of the purple streak. She had on a leather jacket with a plaid purple skirt and a pair of boots.

For a moment, Spencer thought about leaving. Just sneaking out of the back door before she turned around. But she couldn't do that. Her stomach felt like it was doing flip flops, cartwheels and everything else possible. She had played this moment out in her head thousands of times but the real thing was proving to be a little more intense.

Spencer took a deep breath to calm herself and walked up behind the young woman.

"Hey Aria." Spencer said.

Aria turned around and saw that it was indeed Spencer Hastings. The woman that broken her heart into a million pieces was finally in front of her once again. And Aria could only think of one thing to say.

"Shit."
