Aria pulled over on her way to her father's and pulled out her phone. She went through and deleted all of her texts from Ezra, every last one, and then went through her call log as well. She deleted all remnants of Ezra from her phone, and was thankful, that she didn't have her number saved on her phone. The only place she had a solid copy of it was the bar napkin tucked away safely in her journal.

Aria pulled down her mirror and played with her make-up a bit to make it look like she'd been crying, then continued to drive.

As she pulled up to her father's office, she put on a very convincing upset look and crossed her arms tightly over her chest. By the time she reached her father's door, she was even managing to cry. It wasn't hard considering that looking in at him through the glass window, at his desk, he reminded her of Ezra, bent over grading papers.

Aria opened the door and went in, "Dad," she whimpered.

He looked up from his work to see her standing there, and immediately dropped his pen and ran to her, "Aria, what's wrong?" he asked in surprise.

Aria sobbed once, and looked him in the eyes, "I can't do it anymore, Dad! Between you, and mom, and Ali, and Emily got hurt and…" she was so consumed by her tears, which had become very real, that she couldn't speak anymore.

Aria's father stepped forward and wrapped his arms around his daughter, completely enveloped in her lie.

Just seconds later, Hanna got another text.

Ditch school! Get out NOW! Stay away from the school and don't go anywhere anyone from school can see you! – Aria

Hanna read over the text a couple times before it made sense. She bit her lip. She didn't know how to get out of this one, Lucas would be here any minute.

As she thought the words, the door bell rang. Hanna rushed downstairs and opened the door. Seeing Lucas there, she pulled him inside and shut the door behind him.

"Whoa! What's up?" He asked in confusion.

Hanna spoke quickly, her words almost slurring together, "I'm sorry Lucas, but… I can't go to school right now. I know it doesn't make much sense," she said when he tried to interject, "I just really need you to do something for me."

"What?" Lucas asked, all too willing to do whatever she asked.

"I need you to cover for me at school, and no matter what, you didn't see me today, okay?"

"Sure, but-"

"I can't tell you, just please, its very important!"

"Okay," Lucas nodded.

"Thank you," Hanna said graciously and pecked him on the cheek as she showed him out the door.

As she shut it behind him her phone went off again.

Come find me in the clubhouse, just like old times! – A

Hanna took in a shocked breath, but knew she had to go. But she was afraid, regardless she, knew the other would probably be there too. She had to go.
