❝ 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋! 𝐇𝐄𝐘, Will! ❞ Keaton Morris, one of Will's friends at the hospital rushes towards the redhead doctor walking down the hall. "Will! I've been looking all over for you!"

The redhead looks up with an amused smile on his face as he takes in the flustered expression on the nurses faces, his face flushed red from the running her had down, "Miss me that much?"

"You need to come with me right now." Keaton pulls on his arm, "It's Sadie."

At the sound of his little sister's name leaving his friends lips, Will's smile falls, "What about my sister?"

"She was in an accident along with her friend Hanna. They're being brought in right now."

The clipboard in Will's hands clattered to the floors as he takes off in a sprint with Keaton right behind him.

"Will, Will!" Cassie stops her boyfriend as Sadie is rolled in to the building, "Hey, stop. You know you can't be on her case. You're too close to her. They'll take care of her for you."

"That's my little sister!"

"I know, baby, I know." Cassie cups his face in her hands, "But we both know they won't let you do anything. All we can do is wait."

"I gotta ── I gotta call Jesse." Will ran his hands through his redhead, stress and dread filling his body, "And I gotta call Jason."

──── ୨ৎ ────

❝ 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 okay, Ms. Marin? Will? ❞

The girls stand up as Will and Ashley come around the corner, talking to each other.

"Hanna is going to be alright." Ashley nodded, "She, uh, she has a broken leg and a broken ankle, bruised ribs, and uh, they might have to remove her spleen and. . . .,"

Will sucked in a breath before speaking, "Sadie tries to take most of the hit when she jumped in to help Hanna. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and Hanna got the worst of it. As for Sadie, she broke her arm, her collarbone was shattered so they're doing surgery to try and repair it. She also hit her head when she hit the ground, so she has a concussion as well."

"What happened?" Ashley looked between the three girls, Will doing the same since he wanted an explanation as to what had happened to his little sister and one of her closest friends.

"Hanna was coming across the parking lot and this, this car just came out of nowhere." Aria tells them.

"We called out to her, and Sadie kept on running. It was too late, but the car hit both of them." Spencer finished the story, leaving some details out.

"Well, they found the car." Will sticks his hands in the pockets of his doctor's coat.

"They said it was stolen from a campground lot."

"Did they catch the driver?" Emily asked.

"No, not yet."

"The cops should be looking for Toby Cavanaugh." Spencer says, looking away from the two adults.

"It wasn't Toby." Will shakes his head, "Toby owed Sadie for helping him a while back, way before Alison went missing." His words shock the girls.

"And because the police picked him up last night." Ashley added on.

"What?"

"One of the officers told me they found him hiding in town and they were bringing him into the station when they got the call about Hanna and Sadie." Ashley tells them, "Oh, you girls should go home. We'll call you when the girls can have visi──,"

"Will." Keaton walks over to the redhead, gaining the attention of the whole group, "Hey, sorry to interrupt, but uh, we have a problem. They can't find Sadie in the database anywhere. We've tried name and date of birth."

Will tenses as the reason why they couldn't find his little sister in the system, his head dropping as he lets out a sigh, knowing that Sadie might be pissed at him later when she learns that he had to expose her secret.

But he knew as long as they didn't ask any questions, they could just lie and tell them they had changed her name before she left to keep her protected. Just until Sadie was ready to let three of her best friends know that she was married to their missing best friend's older brother.

"You're not going to find her under Sadie Beaumont. Keaton, let's take a walk." Will sighed before running his hand over his forehead, "Girls, go home. Get some rest. Like Ashley said, we'll call when they can have visitors."

❝ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 hell happened?! ❞ Jesse rushes into the hospital doors, Jason following closely behind him.

"Is she okay? Please, tell us that she's okay." Jason pleaded with his brother-in-law, a pleading yet sad look in his eyes.

"Broken arm, shattered collar bone." Will sighs, leaning on the desk and crossing his arms over his chest, "She hit her head pretty hard when she hit the ground, so she's got a concussion too."

"Again, what the hell happened?" Jesse questioned his older brother, worried for his little sister.

"The girls were in the woods for Mona's birthday part. Hanna went to cross the parking lot when a car came speeding towards her. Sadie, being Sadie, went to push Hanna out the way, but it was too late. The car hit both of them. Hanna's okay, too."

"Can I go see her?" Jason asked.

"Yeah. Room 314." Will tells him.

Jason nods his head before moving in the direction that her room was in.

"What are you not telling me?" Jesse squints as he looks at Will.

Will sighed, "Mom's been calling me. She's in Rosewood for a couple of days and she wants to see all of us. It's only a matter of time before she's catching word that Sadie's in the hospital."

"She can see the two of us all she wants, but if Sadie doesn't want to see her, she doesn't have too."

"Try telling that to Alice Beaumont."

"Jason's not letting her anywhere near Sadie."

──── ୨ৎ ────

𝐀 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐀𝐍 leaves Sadie's lips as her eyes flutter open, a throbbing pain in her collarbone, "Jeez, shit."

"Hey, hey." Jason, who had been sitting in the chair next to her and waiting for her to wake up, moved quickly to put a hand on her back to help her sit up, "Be careful, baby."

"What the hell happened?" She groaned, laying her head back against the hospital bed.

"You and Hannah got hit by a car, but both of you are okay." Jason brushes the hair away from his wife's face, sending her a soft smile. "Your arm is broken, and you went into surgery for your shattered collarbone which is fine now. When you fell from the car, you hit your head so you have a concussion too."

"Great." She sighed, closing her eyes, "Can you...can you turn the lights off? It's hurting my eyes."

"Of course." Jason moves toward the light switch and dims the lights in the room before walking back over and standing next to the blonde, "You had me worried, Sadie James."

"Hmm, if getting hit by a car brings you to Rosewood, maybe I should—,"

"Don't even finish that sentence." Jason cuts her off with a shake of his head, "Baby, this isn't something to laugh about. You were hit by a car, something seriously bad could've happened to you and I don't even want to think about how shitty my life would be if I didn't have you in it. So, don't joke about getting hit by cars again, got me?"

Sadie's head falls to the side as she looks up at him with a soft smile, "Yes, sir."

The DiLaurentis boy shakes his head with a laugh before he leans down to kiss her, "Get some more sleep. I'll still be here in the morning."

"Jason....,"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

Jason smiles softly, brushing her hair out of her face, "I love you."

──── ୨ৎ ────

❝ 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐈𝐒 she? ❞ Will stands in front of Jason with his arms crossed as they stand in the hallway outside of Sadie's hospital room.

"She's in some pain, but she's okay. Sleeping." Jason leans against the way, his hands moving his wedding ring around on his finger. "Do they know who did this? Who would want to run Hanna over?"

"They have Toby in custody, but I don't think he did this." Jesse sighed, "I'm gonna go down to the police station and see if I can get someone to tell me what's going on. Call me if she needs me?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Will, hi." Ashley walks up, smiling at Jesse as she passed by him, "Jason. Uh, I was wondering if there was a possibility that we could get Sadie moved into Hanna's room for a little while? The other girls should be on their way, I just texted them."

Will and Jason glance at each other before Jason gives a subtle nod, and the redhead turns back to the mother, "Yeah, of course. Let me see if she's up for it."

"Thank you."

"No problem."

──── ୨ৎ ────

❝ 𝐃𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐈𝐓 hurt? ❞ Aria questioned, sitting on Hanna's hospital bed as Spencer sat on Sadie's.

"Yeah, a little bit."

"I wouldn't know, I'm high on pain killers right now." Sadie sends them a smile, Spencer swatting her leg with a smile.

"Do you remember what happened?" Spencer asked the two of them.

"Uh, yeah, I remember." Hanna nods before looking off in her mom's direction, "Um, mom, you've been here the whole time. Do you wanna take a break?"

"Are you sure?" Ashley asked as she looks around at the girls.

"Yeah."

"I'll be back in a couple of hours." Ashley stands up from the bed just as a figure outside the door catches Sadie's eyes.

"Ms. Marin?"

"Yes, honey?" Ashley turns to Sadie with a smile, "Need something?"

"Can you tell Jason to go back to my house and get my favorite blanket? He'll know which one." The blonde smiles at the older woman, "And a change of clothes for when I get out of here?"

"I'll let him know."

"Jason's here?" Emily raised an eyebrow, "What's he doing here?"

"He was my emergency contact last year, guess we forgot to change it." She shrugged, not really wanting them to know the truth just yet, "Can someone shut the door?"

Aria gets up from the bed and quickly moves to shut the door.

"Noel Kahn....," Sadie's head turns towards Hanna as the blonde spoke up, "....is A."

"What? Are you serious?" Emily questions.

"Yeah, I saw him in the woods and he left an A message.

"You saw him leave a message?" Spencer asked.

"He wrote something on the back of a car window." Hanna says.

"What car? What did he write?"

"I see you." Aria's voice brings the girls attention over to where she was standing with her arms crossed over her chest.

"How do you know what Noel wrote on the car?" Sadie asked, her eyebrow raised.

"I was in the car." Aria looks around the room, trying her best to keep her eyes off of Sadie.

"Whose car was it?" Emily asked her.

"Ezra Fitz."

Sadie's body freezes as Aria's words linger through the air, her eyes snapping over to the Montgomery girl, "E—Ezra's car?"

"Aria?"

Spencer turns to the other blonde, "Hanna?"

"It was Mr. Fitz."

"I think — I think I'm gonna —trash can. Get me the trash can!"

Spencer jumps up from the bed and quickly grabs the trash can, looking away as Sadie pukes into the bed.

Emily stands up from Hanna's bed and crosses her own arms over her chest as Spencer sits the trash can back down on the ground and hands Sadie the bottle of water Will had sent in the room with her. "You and Mr. Fitz?"

"You met him there?"

"The call you got at the party, that was from him?"

"I couldn't tell." Aria says before looking at Sadie, "And I really couldn't tell you, I couldn't tell anyone. I promised Ezra."

"Ezra? Whoa, hold it." Spencer stands up, "This is something that's been going on? You and a teacher?"

"I didn't just get into his car last night. Who do you think I am?" Aria crosses her arms again.

"How long have you been seeing him?" Sadie questioned.

"Um...since right before school started."

"Oh, my God. Since Labor day?" Spencer now has her hands on her hips as Sadie texts her brother to come take her back to her own room.

"Okay, so you don't have a boyfriend in Iceland?" Hanna asked.

"No, I — I did." Aria tells her friends, "Yeah, but it's not like that."

"And you were seeing a teacher when I fixed you up with Noel?" Hanna asked, watching as Aria nodded, "Oh, my God. I fixed you up with Noel."

"Why did you get in his car last night?"

"Well, he, um, called me and....," Aria looks up to see the look Spencer was giving her, "Oh, don't look at me like that."

"Oh, my head hurts just as much as my leg now." Hanna sighed.

Spencer turns to Hanna, "What exactly did you see?"

"Can't this wait until I'm not in the room?" Sadie groaned, "Ezra practically helped raise me since he's close with Will."

"No, this can't wait." Spencer says, "Hanna. What did you see?"

"Well, I saw Aria go into a parked car and then I thought I saw someone in a black hoodie write something on the back of the car window. And when he turned around, it was Noel." Hanna explained what she saw the night before.

Aria scoffed, shaking her head, "No, it can't be Noel."

"Aria, she saw it with her own eyes." Sadie rolls her eyes, "If you weren't busy sleeping with your teacher then maybe you would see what she saw."

"Sadie..,"

"No. No, this is serious because not only could you get in trouble, but so could Ezra. And he could lose his teaching license, which should happen because you just don't sleep with your student!" Sadie raised her voice just a little bit, "God, this is making me sick to my freaking stomach."

"You can't judge me! You were sleeping with Jason!"

"That's because I was sixteen and he was twenty-one! Five years older than me!" Sadie can feel her anger rising as Aria threw back her and Jason into her face, "My brothers knew! And he wasn't my teacher, who can get into serious trouble! Our situations are not the same!"

"Calm down, Sades." Spencer tries to calm her down, but it just makes the blonde get angrier. "A tried to kill Hanna for it! Sadie got hurt because of A!"

"Okay, but I mean, none of us saw who was driving the car." Aria tries to defend Noel against the girls.

All five of their heads turns as someone knocks on the door, Sadie sighing knowing that it wasn't Will because he would just come into the room, so she reaches for her phone to text Cassie.

"If that's someone with pain killers, just let them in."

"Noel?"

Sadie's head snaps up from the phone as Aria said the boy's name, "Speak of the devil and he shall appear."

"I just heard about Hanna and Sadie. Will told me Sadie was in here." Noel holds a gift basket in one hand and a vase full of tulips for Sadie since it just so happened to be her favorite flower.

"Uh, Hanna just fell asleep. And Sadie is waiting for Will to move her back to her room." Aria lies to the boy, "We were just about to leave."

After a few moments of silence Aria walks back into the room with the basket and flowers.

"He lied to me about being there." Aria tells them, "He, he said he was with Sean."

𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐒𝐋𝐎𝐖𝐋𝐘 pulled herself up into a sitting position on her bed, bringing her non-broken arm up to her shoulder, wincing in pain before she turned her head over to find Jason sitting in the chair in the corner, his neck bent in an awkward angle as he has his arms crossed over his chest, lips parted in a snore as he slept.

"God, he was always just a loud snorer."

Her head turns, eyes going wide at the familiar face that stood at the end of her bed, "Ali?"

"Hi." Alison flashes her favorite liar with her usual perky and bright smile while dressed in a candy cart girl costume, "Miss me?"

"What the hell? They told us you were dead." Sadie blinks a couple of times, bringing her hands up to her eyes but when she brings them away from her face, Alison was still standing in the room.

"Yeah, I heard."

"What happened?"

Alison crosses her arms, "It's complicated, Sades. Really complicated, worse than algebra."

"What happened when you left the barn?"

"You and Hanna have the same questions." The blonde walks closer to Sadie, now standing next to her. "The five of you know what happened. All five of you combined know what happened."

"Ali."

"I have to go." Alison moves to walk away but turns to look back at her brother before looking at Sadie, "Congratulations on your marriage to my brother. You're officially a part of the family."

"You know?"

"I came back because I thought you and Hanna were gonna die, no matter how dangerous it might have been to come back. I had to see both of you. You know, I really should do something about A. That bitch is genuinely getting on my nerves."

──── ୨ৎ ────

❝ 𝐈 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 want hospital food anymore. ❞ Sade groaned as Cassie cheeks her vitals, with Will, Jesse and Jason being in her room, along with Keaton who was hiding out with the blonde. "I want a really nice, juicy cheeseburger, or maybe fried rice from that Chinese place. Please, tell me someone can get me fried rice?"

Jason chuckled, playing with the tears in his jeans, "Baby, I have to get a change of clothes, I can get you fried rice before I come back."

"This is why I married you." She smiled, grinning wider as he leaned over to press a kiss to her lips.

"Really? I thought it was my good looks and pretty green eyes."

"Maybe just a little bit." She pinched her fingers together with a smile on her face. "So, what's happening on the outside? And by outside, I mean, the walls of this hospital? Give me the good gossip."

Cassie giggled, "Well, the head of Cardio is sleeping with the CT guy."

"And the lunch lady is having an affair with Tyler the nurse." Keaton points out.

Will laughed, "You can't tell her—,"

"No, shut up. That is exactly the kind of gossip that I want to hear." Sadie laughed, waving her brother off, "Hey, do you think you can wheel me to Hanna's room again? In a wheel chair? And see when I can go home? I'm ready to sleep in my own bed."

"Yeah, we can wheel you back to Hanna for a while." Will smiles, motioning for Keaton to grab a wheel chair for his little sister, "And I will check on seeing if you can leave today. Jason can come with me and sign the release papers for you."

"I don't need a wheel chair." Sadie sighed, "I broke my arm and shattered my elbow—,"

"You're getting in the wheel chair."

──── ୨ৎ ────

❝ 𝐒𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 whole tree? ❞ Hanna asked, the girls back in Hanna's room

"Yeah, lock, stock and bird's nest." Spencer sits on the corner of Hanna's bed, Aria on the other side, Sadie in her wheel and Emily sitting in the hospital chair that was in the room.

"Why? Why show something like that and then just take it away?" Hanna questioned, all of them wondering about the missing tree from the woods.

"Like A had a split personality."

"That's great." Sadie sighs, "Homicidal and nuts."

"We've been thinking, maybe we're dealing with more than one person." Spencer tells the two blondes.

"A and Ali's killer are two separate people?" Hanna asked in disbelief, the other three girls nodding, "You are freaking out the invalid."

"No, just think about it." Aria says.

"No, you think about it, teachers pet." Sadie moves her hand around, Aria looking at her in shock at the name she had called her, "Aren't we in enough trouble? We are." She motioned between herself and Hanna, "I have a cast on my arm and she's got a cast on her leg."

Aria looks down at Hanna's leg, moving the blanket from the cast, "Hanna. Hanna, who wrote this?"

"I don't know. People have been in and out all day and so have I."

"Oh, no." Emily is now looking down at it along with Spencer and Sadie.

"What?" Hanna looks at their worried looks, "What's on there?"

"Sorry about losing my temper. My bad." Aria reads it, "Love A."

"Who put that on my leg?"

"Who wrote that?" Spencer stands up, "Sadie."

Sadie's breath picks up as she looks at the cast that plastered on her arm, "No, no, no. Get it off. Get it off."

❛ ꜱᴏʀʀʏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ ᴜᴘ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ, ꜱᴀᴅᴇꜱ. ❜

"Did someone come in your room's while you were asleep?"

"I don't know. Just get it off." Hanna starts freaking out too, "Just wipe it off."

"Hanna, easy. Easy."

"Get it off of us!"
