( must be exhausting to lose your own game )

Disclaimer: Not mine.

You might be physically dead, but you know you still haunt them mentally.

You make all their lives a living nightmare, you have done since the very first day you met them. You transformed weird Aria into a beautiful young woman with many opportunities in life, because you know better than anyone; they only care if you're pretty or dying. Besides, you and her were the ones that caught her father in a clinch with his student. You supported her through the whole thing, because that's what friends do.

Such a shame she never re-payed you.

And let's not forget Emily, you made her fall for you. You were her best friend, she trusted you with her life. Everything was going great, until that day she kissed you. She basically ruined your friendship from that moment forward, but you never let it show. You played along with her, making her fall deeper and deeper simply because you knew you could.

She was gullible, because love can cast a cloud over people's opinions. She made the biggest mistake by trusting you.

And then there's Hanna. You made her ruin her own life. She was chubby and she knew she was chubby. The thought of being fat depressed her, and when she was depressed she ate. You showed her a way to get rid of the poison inside, and because she was so desperate to be like you, she went along with it and made herself sick deliberately. You watched her do it day in and day out, and you never thought once to tell her that she would eventually choke one day.

Because you were watching her destroying herself, all because of you.

Last but not least, Spencer. The good little girl who was always in her perfect older sister's shadow, always longing to be her own person. Around you, she could be. She could be whoever the fuck she wanted to be, so she developed a cocky, arrogant personality. She thought she could beat you in everything. You never let it show that it bothered you, in stead you played her back at her own game, and more often than not; you won. You were the first one she told about Ian, and you were shocked. How could she do such a terrible thing, as to covet her sister's boyfriend. You were planning to use this as a winning hand for the rest of your life, until she let you die.

She made you leave that sleepover, so basically it was her fault that you're dead.

But you know they'll never forget you, for as long as all four of them are alive. You made a promise never to tell anyone about the Jenna thing, and that was the one thing that connected you all, made the friendship close to impossible to break.

Because they all know that if one tells: they all fall down.

They ruined your life, and now you're going to ruin theirs. They're still haunted by the fact that you're dead and the fact that someone's after them knowing things that they thought they only confided in you about. Someone's using their dirty little secrets against them, and they're scared that the net will be closing in on them.

Mind games were always such fun to you when you were alive, and you're not going to let a tiny thing like being dead stop you from playing them.

Because there's something special about them, something that makes them so fun to play.

There can only be one winner.
