         _{shrugging his shoulder, mike took a seat across from the youngest hastings.  he needed to find out what else went down in new york or what they knew.   ❛  that’s all you really can hope for, you fou– five have been through a lot since alison’s fun– disappearance. ❜   shaking his head in disbelief,     ❛  wow, that just sounds really weird to say. now that she’s back, there shouldn’t be any more secrets and lies, right??  ❜    it really took a lot of self-restraint not to crack as he spoke those words.  they just don’t have A to worry about anymore.  everyone that Alison every wronged were teaming up to go against them.  it hadn’t been his plan to expose that alison was still alive.  cece and paige had ruined that part of the plan. although it worked better in favor since he had all five right where he wanted them.   ❛  you got a point there, she really be any animal that can kill.  ❜   there was suddenly an idea pop into his head. he wanted to see the female reaction to what he said next.   ❛  did you hear about mr. fitz too??  apparently someone shot him in new york.  i don’t know too much but i heard it at the police station.  this has just been a crazy night for everyone.  almost seems like someone  p l a n n e d  it or behind it.  ❜}  

_{hope  is a dirty four letter word.  it’s a symbol of empty promise    ———    ,   something she had learned long before -A’s torture.   it’s something naive people say even when they know things are gonna turn out badly.   it only ever brought DISAPPOINTMENT.   eternal misery.   despite the sincerity of aria’s younger brother’s words   ,   it still settled uneasily in the pit of her stomach.   everything was looking too bleak to believe them.      ❛    that’s an understatement    ,  ❜       she remarked in response to the commentary of their trauma.   it definitely wasn’t over either   ,   seeing as come next school day they’d be parading by ali’s side reunited as a posse.   a slight scoff at next inquirery    ,   with their queen be alpha back all order was going to be restored.   meaning   ,    they were all going to be her little puppets again.     ❛    not really.   you remember what it was like before she disappeared. nobody was their own person.   we just followed her orders because everybody was too afraid to speak up for themselves.    ❜       except for spencer    ,   of course.   who   ,   according to their shared half brother    ——–    ,   was the only one who could really challenge alison.   it was nice to be truthful about something for a change.   eyebrows raise in alarm at his suggestion    ,   momentarily forgetting to play it cool.      ❛    what?  you can’t possibly think that this is all connected.   what happened to mr. fitz  was an accident.     ❜}
