A/N: You guys are amazing! Thank you so much for the rebblogs and comments. I’m so happy that you like this story. It means the world to me! We’re nearing the end, after this chapter, there’s only one left. I hope you’ll enjoy it. Get ready for this chapter and don’t hate me too much, please? ^^” As always comments are GOLD! 💕

Chapter 6:

Three days. That’s the maximum, Dean could wait without having news from Y/N. The first day he thought she was still angry with him so he let her the time to cool off. The second day, he stayed at home, waiting for her to come home. She never came. On the third day he prayed for having at least one phone call. The phone was horribly silent the whole day.

So on the fourth day, Dean thinks that he has to be the one to make the first step. She doesn’t know his side of the story, he wants to tell her how his conversation with his mother went, and to tell her he didn’t lie to her, if only she had listened to him that night, she would know the truth. Dean had learned the hard way how telling the truth is important.

The bell over the door dings, signaling the arrival of a new customer. Y/N’s big smile falls as she realizes that it’s Dean. Their eyes meet but they’re both conveying different feelings. Green tired eyes are wary while Y/E/C’s eyes are sending knives. Without a word, Y/N turns around and heads for the back room, telling Charlie that she’s taking a break, giving Dean no room to utter a single word. Defeated, Dean lowers his head and walks into a corner waiting for Charlie to come. While he waits for the redhead to come up, Dean tries to rationalize. At least Y/N seems healthy, and as much as he had hoped for her being a big mess as much as him, he is relieved that she looks fine. Charlie enters into the main room, finishing to tie her apron behind her back, she shoots him a glare.

“What do you want?” Charlie asks him coldly, one hand pressed against the counter, supporting her body.

“I just want to talk with Y/N for a minute,” Dean says as he comes closer and stops a few feet from the counter.

Charlie huffs and shows him her back, opting to serve Dean a black coffee instead. “Sorry, we’re out of Y/Ns at the moment.”

“This is stupid,” Dean says angrily, his gaze focused on the door leading to the next room, where he knows Y/N is hiding, “Once I’ll have talked with her, she’ll understand.” He adds, his feet already leading him next to the door.

“She doesn’t want to speak with you!” Charlie exclaims, standing between Dean and the closed door, her arms outstretched preventing him from going anywhere. “Don’t you think you’ve done enough already? What kind of lie are you going to tell her, now?”

“I never lied to her!” Dean’s quick to reply back, but Charlie is still on the defensive and simply laughs at his words.

“I was going to tell her that night when you two came to the apartment. I swear. I don’t want to hurt her, Charlie. I love her.” Dean’s looking right into Charlie’s eyes, hoping that she could see the honesty written all over his face but the redhead doesn’t show any sign of empathy. For the first time in his life, Dean admits his feelings for someone and no one seems to believe him.

In front of such a lack of help from Charlie, Dean lowers his head and sighs deeply. “I don’t care, I’ll do whatever it takes for her until she’s listened to me.”

“What are you going to do?” Charlie’s quick to ask Dean when she sees him walking towards the exit.

With his hand on the doorknob, Dean doesn’t turn around to look at her but still answers her question. “I don’t know yet, but as I said, I’ll do anything.” With that said, Dean leaves the coffee shop.

Once she’s sure he’s not coming back, Charlie heads for the break room. Y/N is sitting in a corner, her arms crossed over her chest and her face hard.

“He’s so stubborn! Why can’t he leave me alone?”

Charlie shakes her head and sighs, coming closer to her friend with a wary step, she knows that Y/N is not going to like what she has to say.

“Why don’t you let him explain?”

Y/N rolls her eyes and uncrosses her arms, letting them fall at her sides. “Really? To hear another lie? No thanks!”

“I don’t know,” Charlie shrugs and takes a seat next to Y/N. “He says that he wanted to tell you what happened. Maybe he’s honest?”

The fact that Charlie is falling for Dean’s trap makes Y/N angrier. She doesn’t know why she’s reacting so violently but she can’t help herself to calm down.

“Don’t let him fool you too, Charlie! I can’t trust him. I don’t know what he’s planning but I won’t fall for it.” Y/N snaps before adding more softly “Not again.” These last words are more for herself but Charlie hears them anyway, picking her attention.

“Not again?” She parrots her friend’s words. The lack of answer from Y/N and the fact that she’s avoiding her eyes are the last clues for Charlie to put two and two together. “Oh!”

“What?” Y/N asks right away, not liking her friend’s tone.

“You like him!” It is easy for Charlie to understand what is going on between the two. Y/N told her about fake dating and how their relationship evolved after the weekend spent at the Winchesters’ house. Now, it’s obvious why Y/N is overreacting (Charlie didn’t understand at first but as Y/N’s friends, she has to show her her support, no matter what.)

“What? No! I liked him as a friend but he deceived me, that’s all. We don’t have time to waste talking about him, he’s not important. Let’s get back to work.” Y/N replies hastily, eager to change the subject as fast as possible.

Charlie doesn’t say anything and just watches her friends leaving the break room without looking back, her cheeks slightly red from embarrassment. “Who’s the liar, now?” Charlie whispers before following her friend into the main shop.

***

The only thing Dean could come up with as a way to show Y/N how determined he is, is by coming every day at the coffee shop. The days would go by and look the same; Dean would enter the coffee shop, Y/N would ignore him perfectly. Slowly a routine would set up, Dean enters and takes a spot in a corner of the little shop, ordering his drinks to Garth or Charlie, Y/N doing her best to ignore him every single time. As a businessman, Dean can work anywhere as long as there is a decent wifi connection and a place where he can plug his laptop.

“Here you go, Boss.” Garth chirps as he puts the hot black coffee next to Dean’s laptop. “If I didn’t know you, I would have called the cops already, you know?” He jokes, in hopes of getting more words than just the quiet ‘thanks’ he gets every day.

“Huh?” At least, Garth’s joke picked Dean’s attention.

Garth chuckles before leaning closer, his forearms pressed against the top of the table, supporting his body. “The way you keep on coming every day, spending the whole day here in hopes of speaking with Y/N. If Charlie didn’t tell me what’s going on, I would have called the cops on you already.”

Dean sighs and leans back in his chair, both of his fingers massaging his temples. “Now all of my employees know how stupid I am. This is just great.”

Without being invited, Garth takes the seat opposite Dean, making himself at ease to share a few words with his boss. “You’re not stupid Deano.” Before working for Dean at the coffee shop, Garth has been Dean’s friend. They knew each other for a long time and Dean had been the only one offering a helping hand to Garth when he needed him the most and for that, Garth will always be thankful.

“You messed up. Pretty big, according to Charlie.” Garth starts to tell, making Dean feel even worse than he is already. “But as long as you’re both alive, there’s always a chance to make things right between you two.”

“Thanks Garth...that’s pretty encouraging.” Dean laughs humorlessly, Garth’s attempt cheering him up, totally failing. The phone behind the counter rings, making Dean look in its direction and forcing him to take a look at the one picking it up, Y/N.

“I don’t know what else I can do, Garth.” Dean admits in a whisper, his eyes glued to Y/N’s back as she speaks over the phone.

“Give her some time.” Garth gives him advice.

“It’s been a week already. How long does it take?” Dean groans. He doesn’t know how long it will last, he’s ready to wait as long as it needs but at least he hopes he would have seen a few improvements already.

Little does Dean know that when he’s concentrating on his job and oblivious to the rest of the world, Y/N is looking at him. Charlie’s words from earlier this week are still resonating in her mind. She does like him. A lot. And more than a simple friend. Y/N had admitted her feelings for Dean before everything fell apart, and that’s why it hurts so much now. Before anything between them even starts, Dean ruined everything. She thought she could trust him but when he didn’t fulfill his promise to tell Mary the truth, Y/N knew it wasn’t meant to be. How can you trust a liar? A relationship is built on honesty, so if they can’t even start with that, there’s nothing to start at all. Maybe she’s overreacting? Maybe she can let him explain? Y/N shakes her head, trying to forget that stupid thought. She gave Dean many chances before that, and he ruined them every single time. And what good will it do even if she listens to him and forgives him? They’ll be back as friends and then? It’s just a simple crush, it has to be. She lets her mind wrap around a wonderful fake weekend and now Y/N doesn’t even know what she can do or expect anymore. Everything is so complicated she is having a hard time following her own thoughts.

“How long does it take to prepare a cup of coffee?” A woman's voice breaks her trail of thoughts, the customer visibly getting impatient.

“I’m sorry.” Y/N excuses herself profusely, getting the order ready as fast as possible. This story is getting too big and messing with her life to a level so important that Y/N knows she has to do something to stop it. She needs to take action from now. Tonight, she’ll speak with Charlie and will ask her for some advice.

***

There’s nothing a dozen beers and a huge pot of ice cream can’t resolve. Desperate times ask for desperate measures.

“I knew it. Something happened between you and you’re in love with him.” Charlie proudly says before engulfing a spoonful of ice cream. Swallowing the sweet, she takes out the spoon from her mouth and points it at Y/N’s face, the latter rolling her eyes at her friend’s attitude.

“Nothing happened at all, Charlie.” Y/N tells her for the third time already before continuing. “And saying that I love him is maybe a bit exaggerated. I think it’s a crush, I let myself believe some fantasy and now I need to change my mind.” She explains, leading Charlie on the main subject.

“Does he know you love him?” Charlie asks, totally ignoring Y/N’s previous statement.

“Are you even listening to me?” Y/N sighs, feeling more tired as the seconds go by.

“I am.” Charlie assures her. “Let’s restart from the beginning. You and Dean pretended to his family that you’re a couple. You spent the best weekend of your life with him and his family and without knowing it you fell in love with him. Now you’re scared of it for whatever reason it is and you’re trying to find a way to run away.” Charlie resumes, a serious glint in her eyes.

At first, Y/N is speechless. She never suspected her cheerful and carefree friend to be so serious. However, when Charlie mentioned that Y/N might be scared of a relationship with Dean, she has to react. And as always, she’s being defensive.

“I’m not running away. He lied to me, he’s the one responsible for this mess!” Y/N argues, reminding Charlie where the real problem is.

“Technically he hadn’t lied to you yet. You still need to hear his side of the story. According to him he was going to tell you how his talk with his mom went and why he hadn’t told her the truth about you two.” It’s Charlie’s turn to remind Y/N of a few facts, to which ones Y/N simply huffs.

“I already know what he’s going to say. He didn’t want to break his mother's heart by telling her the truth or something like that and I get it ok? But it doesn’t mean he has to break mine instead!”

“Ah-ah!” Charlie’s fingers snap as soon as the words left Y/N’s lips. “See? You’re scared of a broken heart.” The proud smile of her face slowly fades as she notices how tensed Y/N is.

“You’re overthinking it, Charlie,” Y/N warns in a quiet voice, her face hard. “There’s nothing to be scared of because there’s nothing at all. I just need to move on and change my mind.” She stands up and motions Charlie to move from the couch. “I should have known talking about it with you wouldn’t help me.”

“Hey, hey. Stop for a minute would you?” Charlie says, standing up as well and moving to give Y/N room to get the couch ready for her to sleep. Seeing that her friend is not listening anymore, Charlie stops her movements by grabbing her forearm. “Y/N, honey, listen to me.”

“I’m fine!” Y/N pushes her away, more violently than what she intended to, the movement surprising both of them. “Charlie, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to-”

“Save it.” Charlie lifts her hand, stopping Y/N’s excuses. “I don’t know why you’re so scared but let me tell you one thing: running away and pushing your friends who want to help you won’t do any good,” Charlie says coldly. The redhead is hurt by her friend’s gesture but she kind of understands her. Being a friend means that sometimes you have to tell them the truth, something that can hurt them even if it’s for their own wellbeing.

Both women fell silent and after a beat, Charlie decides to call it a night. Slowly she walks towards her bedroom, leaving Y/N for the night.

“You want to move on? Then start with not sleeping in his shirt every freaking night.” Charlie gives her one last advice before disappearing into her bedroom.

Y/N stands in the middle of the living room, her pillow between her hands as she stares at Charlie’s closed door. The last sentence is cutting her deep in the heart. She knows that Charlie is right but the simple thought of letting go of that piece of clothes feels like she’s reaping her heart from her chest. That plain tee-shirt is the last and only thing that connects her and Dean to their fake relationship. If Y/N really wants to move on, then why is it so hard to let that tee-shirt go?

That night, Y/N didn’t sleep. She spent most of the night thinking about what to do. She has to move on, no matter what. There’s nothing to expect from Dean anymore. It’s not like he was in love with her to start with. He’s a womanizer, he’s used to charming any woman that crosses his path, sleep with her then leave them the next morning. And he’s a liar on top of it. No really, the faster she moves on, the better it will be. That night, Y/N finally knew what she had to do to start to move on.

***

The next day, Dean is nowhere to be seen. For the first time since Y/N left their apartment, Dean doesn’t come into the coffee shop. Y/N should feel relieved, happy even, to have at least one day far from him but it’s completely the opposite. Why does he have to not show up the day Y/N had chosen to do something? It feels like Dean knew what she was going to do and did anything in his power to ruin her plans once again. Or maybe it’s a sign? Maybe she should think about it more and wait before going on with her plan?

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t my favorite barista?” Arthur Ketch exclaims as soon as he had reached the counter.

Well, she was thinking about signs, after all.

“Good morning, M. Ketch. The usual?” Y/N forces her smile, trying to be as nice as possible. She needs to be in his good grace to keep on with the next part of her plan. Maybe the second part will hurt her much more than giving Dean’s tee-shirt back but she has to do it. When you want to forget someone, the best thing you can do is seeing someone else. Y/N just hopes that Ketch is still interested in her. She doesn’t really want to go out with Ketch but the man seems nice enough, she can give him a chance.

While preparing Ketch’s tea, Y/N doesn’t waste her time to speak about what she really has in mind. “I was wondering if you were still up to spend some time with me. There’s this new restaurant I’ve heard about and I thought it would be nice to try it out.”

At first, Ketch is speechless. He was ready to work on Y/N harder as she seemed to play the hard one to get. Ketch isn’t used to working for any woman, but this one, he knows there is much more with her than just a fun night. If he can put his hands on her, Ketch will finally have the upper hand on Dean Winchester, and that is the sweetest thing in Ketch’s life. So, knowing that he’s finally near his goal, Ketch has a hard time to remain poised and relaxed. The man clears his throat and feigns to think about his busy schedule. He has an image to keep, after all.

“I might have a free slot within the week. How about Friday night? That way you’ll have the whole weekend to recover after our wonderful night.” He winks as he’s already marking the date on his agenda in his phone.

“I’m working on weekends,” Y/N reminds him and fights with all her might to not roll her eyes at his stupid ego. “But I think I’ll be fine, there will be no need for me to recover.” She adds as she gives him his drink.

“We’ll see, Love. We’ll see.” Ketch chuckles, leaving the shop without another glance and after leaving Y/N one generous tip.

Ketch couldn’t leave fast enough to Y/N’s taste. As soon as the door closes behind him she groans and hides her face in her hands. When she raises her head again, Y/N falls face to face with Charlie and Garth. Both of them are standing in a corner of the room, their arms crossed and giving her the look. After a beat of complete silence, Charlie simply shakes her head and throws her arms before leaving the main room while Garth stands there, watching Y/N sadly.

“I know what I’m doing, ok?” Y/N defends herself, her tone a bit aggressive.

“Just...take care would you?” Garth asks her quietly before resuming on his tasks.

***

By the end of her shift, Y/N is heading to Dean’s apartment. She really needs to get rid of the tee-shirt, this is the last step before she can totally focus on moving on. If she’s so sure of herself, why is she standing in front of the door without moving? Come on girl, get a grip! You just need to knock, give him that stupid thing and leave. Nothing too hard. Go on, you can do it!

Taking a deep breath, Y/N lifts her hand, reading to knock when the door suddenly opens, revealing a familiar feminine face.

“Y/N?” The young blond woman blinks as she recognizes Y/N.

“Jess…” Y/N blurts in a whisper, her voice a bit stuck in her throat. She wasn’t expecting Sam’s girlfriend being here. Maybe that’s the reason Dean didn’t come to the coffee shop today?

“It’s so nice to see you!” Jess exclaims cheerfully, “I was going to take Snowball for a walk but please, feel free to come in.” She invites and at the mention of the little pet’s name, Y/N finally notices the fluffy puppy waving his tail at Jess’s feet.

“Oh huh...No I just wanted to give Dean something, it can wait. I don’t want to bother you-” Y/N stutters as she tries to leave as fast as possible. This is really bad timing.

“Y/N?” Dean’s surprised tone stops her rambling, and for the first time since she had left their apartment, Dean and Y/N share a look. For a strange reason, she can’t take her eyes out of him, there are so many emotions that are flashing through those two beautiful green eyes, the sight, she now realizes, she has missed so much. Dean’s standing next to Jess, since he had pronounced Y/N’s name he hadn’t moved, as if he’s scared that a wrong movement will scare Y/N.

“Hi, Dean.”

“Hi.” They both say in sync, their voice bot above a whisper.

Feeling the embarrassment surrounding them, Y/N clears her throat and hands Dean the paper bag she brought. “I just wanted to give you this back.” She explains, avoiding Jess and Dean’s stare.

“What is it?” Dean asks as he takes a look inside the bag, his former relief seeing Y/N here breaking right away as he realizes what’s inside. Jess watches the whole scene silently, she doesn’t need to see Dean’s face to know that whatever is inside the bag it’s not good. The way his shoulders tense and the horrible silence that surrounds them is enough of a clue.

“Keep it. I don’t want it back.” Dean finally says in a cold tone, pushing the bag into Y/N.

“It’s not mine. I can’t keep it and I don’t want it either.” Y/N replies, refusing to take the bag.

“Jess, would you excuse us a minute, please?” Dean asks his future sister-in-law, his eyes never leaving Y/N’s face, even though the latter is doing her best to not look him in the eyes.

Jess nods and bends to take Snowball into her arms, returning into the living room. Dean comes into the corridor and closes the door behind him for some privacy.

“What does that mean?” Dean asks in a low voice.

“Nothing.”

“Come on, Y/N.” Dean tries to take her hand but she brushes him off and steps back, her gesture breaking Dean’s heart a bit more. Y/N didn’t miss the hurt in his eyes and felt bad about it.

“Don’t do this, I’m begging you. Come back and let me explain. Please.” Dean tries again to let her listen to him. Maybe she’ll see how much being apart hurts him and finally let him explain.

“I really need to go.” Y/N says, not wanting to give Dean the occasion to lie again.

Dean doesn’t want to let her go, he knows this time she will leave for good and he will have no other chance. Without thinking, Dean lets the paper bag fall at his feet and grabs Y/N’s wrist, making her turn around and look at him. If she’s surprised by his sudden gesture at first, what he says next keeps her frozen in place.

“I love you.” That’s it! She knows. Dean knows it won’t make a difference but at least he feels better telling her. Granted he wanted to admit his feelings for her in a better, more romantic way but life isn’t as simple as it is in the movies. Seeing the life seems to have left her body, Dean feels all his assurance leaving him.

“Please, say something.” He asks, hating himself for telling her such a big thing.

Y/N blinks twice before coming back to her senses. The surprise on her face subsides and leaves room for anger. “I never thought you would go that far.” She says coldly. “I know you’re used to lying but playing with my feelings, that’s another level, even for you.”

“What? No, no!” Dean’s hand lets go of her wrist to cup her face with both of his hands instead.

“I’m not lying. I never lied to you, Y/N.” He doesn’t know what he can do or tell her to make her believe him. Dean knows the truth is very important to her and hopes that by reassuring her that his feelings for her are real it will be enough. There’s also a big chance that she doesn’t feel the same and can’t bear to remain just friends knowing his feelings. Maybe by telling her the truth he had burnt his last chance. “What do you want me to do? You want me to tell my family I lied? I can do that, they’re just behind that door. One word, Y/N. One word from you and I’ll tell them right away.”

“You’ve played that trick already. That’s enough, Dean.” Y/N refuses to give him the last chance he’s so desperately trying to get. “Goodbye, Dean.” She turns on her heels and starts to walk towards the elevator.

“What are you scared of?” Dean yells at her angrily as she’s waiting for the doors to open.

Y/N simply faces the elevator’s doors, waiting impatiently for the lift to come. His accusations make her see red but it’s better to not answer him. She just needs to wait for that damn elevator to come in and then she’ll be free to go.

“I didn’t plan to fall for you but I did. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I’m scared as hell.” Dean keeps on telling her. “I loved that free, easy-going girl as soon as my eyes fell on her. This,” he says waving a hand in her direction. “Is not the same girl. You’re scared of something and I don’t know what it is but believe me, if someone like me, who is scared to death to love someone, is ready to try, you can try it too, Y/N.”

Again, Y/N remains silent, much to Dean’s despair. He doesn’t know what else he could tell her to make her react. Little does he know that he said the right things. For the first time, Y/N admits to herself that she’s indeed scared. She knew it since she realized her feelings for her roommate but refused to admit it and preferred to lie to herself. Who’s the liar now? Using Dean’s mistake was the perfect excuse she needed to run away, and from an outsider’s point of view, it was a stupid excuse. But what else could she do? She’s been hurt in the past and swore to herself to never fall down ever again. She’s just trying to protect her heart, there’s nothing wrong doing it, right?

The doors ding, signaling the lift is finally here and stopping Y/N’s trail of thoughts at the same time. Just on time before she could do something they’ll both regret. Without another word, Y/N walks into the elevator, her eyes shut tight as she tries to ignore Dean calling her name.

Once the doors are closed, Y/N can finally let go of the breath she’s been holding while Dean watches helplessly the empty corridor in front of him.

“Damn it!” Dean punches into the nearest wall, fighting the angry tears in his eyes. He can’t believe that everything is over, despite all his efforts. Why isn’t she listening to him? Why doesn’t she give them a chance? When Dean told her his feelings she didn’t decline them. She didn’t say anything at all, but she didn’t reject him either, so it means something, isn’t it? All those feelings, the anger, the despair, the hurt, the uncertainty, all of them are exactly why Dean doesn’t do relationships. It hurts too much.

“Dean? Sweety? Are you alright?” Lost in his thoughts, Dean didn’t hear the door opening behind him.

Mary’s standing between the doorframe, one hand still on the doorknob while the other is instinctively reaching for her oldest son.

“Mom…” Dean’s voice breaks into a strangle gasp as soon as he turns around and sees his mother looking at him.

“What’s wrong, sweety? Where’s Y/N?” There’s really no need for Mary to feign it because they were so loud a few minutes before that anyone around them could hear their argument but Mary Winchester knows her son and how hard it is for him to share his feelings, so this is her way to give Dean a chance to tell her what happened if he wanted.

“How can you lose something you didn’t even have in the first place?” Dean asks his mother, the tears now running freely over his cheeks.

Mary’s heart breaks in front of such a scene. It is very rare for Dean to cry freely in front of others, even his own mother, so Mary knows that her son is deeply hurt. Naturally she takes him into her arms, encircling the man taller than her and hugging him as strongly as she can. Dean’s hands clutching at her back, automatically. The last time she saw Dean in this state he was still her little boy.

“Shh.” She tries to calm him down when she hears him crying more, his body shuddering as he tries to control his breathing. “Why don’t you tell me what’s bothering you, hm?” She says in a soothing voice.

“You won’t like it.” Dean sniffs, breaking the embrace.

“I don’t like seeing you in this state either. Come one, let’s go in and tell me everything.”

Dean nods his head before motioning his mother to enter the apartment first. Once inside, Dean can barely look at the rest of his family waiting for him and Mary in the living room. Judging by their faces, they know something happened, and Jessica must have told them that Y/N was here. You don’t need to be a genius to know that something bad has happened between the couple. Before Dean has the time to bail out, Mary pushes him into the couch, forcing him to sit next to his father. With a pointed finger, she silently orders Dean to stay put before going into the kitchen for the coffee pot.

Once each member of the family has a freshly cup of coffee, Mary finally sits down on the free space next to Dean. The room is awkwardly silent and Mary observes her family while bringing her cup to her lips. Jessica is sitting next to Sam, drinking her own coffee while John and Sam seem uncomfortable. Why is it always so hard for those men to be at ease during important family moments?

“Alright,” Mary starts, the clinking sound from her cup as she puts it on the coffee table, the only sound that disturbs the awkward silence. “Whatever it is, spill it.”

Dean looks at his mother, then his father, and finally Sam and Jessica. The fact they’re sitting so close together holding each other's hand, makes Dean’s heart break a little more. Dean takes a deep breath and focuses his gaze on his mother and starts to tell his whole family the truth. He tells them everything, every little detail from the beginning. How he panicked when Mary asked him if he would be alone at their party and thought about lying and pretending that he was in an established relationship with Y/N. He told them how he fell in love with Y/N through the weekend without even realizing it. A soft smile adorning his lips as he tells them he fell deeper for her after that weekend, and how great living together and learning more about each other was. The smile falls quickly as he tells them about his failed attempt to tell Mary the truth and how fast his relationship with Y/N deteriorated after that.

“So you know everything. You can’t imagine how sorry I am for lying to all of you.” Dean ends his long explanation awkwardly, he doesn’t even dare to look at any of his family members and prefers to look at his hands wrinkling on his lap instead. He can’t bear to watch the hurt or disgust in their eyes.

The room falls silent once again, no one dares to speak after such a big revelation. As always the right to break the silence is given to the matriarchy.

“Samuel,” Mary asks in a low, displeased tone. “Would you mind picking up my purse?”

Pretty Little Liars 7x20 Til Death Do Us Part - Thoughts

I literally just finished watching the finale and A-List Wrap party right now. I have not seen a single comment about the finale, I don't know how it was received, at all. Sorry if these comments are just reinforcing what everyone else has been talking about for the past several hours, because again, I have no idea what everyone is saying. Here are my thoughts!

- It did not feel like a series finale to me and I cannot pinpoint why. I felt the goodbye scene at the end was not strong enough. Sasha said that they had to keep re-filming that scene because she was crying too much when she said “this feels like the end of something” - well, I think they went with the take that had not enough emotion, to the point it felt like a regular line and it lost its power. Not just this line, but in general, I never got a sense of “farewell PLL” from this episode, unfortunately. Not saying it’s a bad episode, but, I didn’t get that sense of “thank you and goodbye Spencer, Hanna, Aria, Emily, Alison and Rosewood”.

- Marlene said that there is one question she cannot wait for fans to find out, but she can’t tell us what this question is without telling us who AD is. What the hell could be this question?

- THEY ALL DID THE SHHHHH TOGETHER, I LOVED THAT

- DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE DURING THE INTRO THAT THE CASKET OPENED, RATHER THAN CLOSE???

- I’ve always said Pretty Little Liars is a two-part show: half a romance show, other half a mystery show. They really demonstrated that tonight, by having almost a very equal divide between the romance and mystery. The entire first hour was romance, and the entire second hour was mystery (plus farewells). The first hour, I was shaking my head. “This is not good. Not good at all.” Sure, there were some cute scenes, like Emison’s proposal, but there was too much fluff in the first half. The second half, it really kicked off.

- So, my theory ended up being so damn accurate, what the hell! I can't believe it! Even though Spencer’s twin was my foremost suspect going into the finale, I still ended up being shocked, because of the simple fact that they went with it almost exactly exactly exactly how I said! Not just the who, but also the why! I even got the name Alex Drake!

- Okay, so I got the part wrong about the twin having helped Charlotte play the game from season 3 onwards. And honestly, that is my biggest complaint about the finale: AD started playing the game after Charlotte died, period. Again this is my biggest complaint and this is where the finale fell flat for me. Technically, PLL could have ended with Charlotte’s reveal in 610. Everything we got with Alex Drake’s story, was purely an extension because we got renewed for more seasons. I just know there will be people saying “ugh I’m so mad that AD has no connection to pre-time jump” and yes I fully agree, and that’s my biggest complaint too... but my response is: weren't the extra 2 years nice? Sure AD is irrelevant to seasons 1-6A, sure that is incredibly underwhelming and no where near as good as the fan theories... but we got an extra 2 years of PLL in our lives because of this extra, final A story? I’m grateful? #alwayslookingforthepositiveside

- I do not understand Ashley’s comment. Quote “you finally get to find out who A is, who’s been torturing us for the last 7 years”. Girl... it was just a month or two, in Rosewood time.

- Am I the only one who never really felt a sense of danger, or intensity? Weird, since it’s the series finale, and literally anyone could’ve died. It’s not like we had another season, and I knew Spencer was safe from dying. Yet, I never truly did feel like Alex would win the fight. I can't take PLL villains seriously for some unexplainable reason.

- I really liked the flashbacks that explicitly showed us the scenes where “Spencer” was actually Alex. That was great. I wanted more flashbacks to earlier seasons, however. (I did appreciate that they played some music from the pilot, though!)

- THANK YOU MARLENE for not doing another Charlotte reveal where A sits around crying all episode, trying to make us feel sorry for them. Sure, Alex (nearly said Twincer!) had a sad story, but she embraced her sadness, and it fuelled her anger to take over Spencer’s life. That was really good. I loved seeing Troian walk around with an axe. Bless.

- I was surprised we didn’t hear of Radley (as a sanitarium). Honestly, thank god.

- I think the motive is the strongest we’ve ever had, of all the A’s so far: Alex was so jealous of Spencer so she wanted to break up the girls, yet her threats only made them closer. Therefore, she decided, “why break them up, if I can just become Spencer?” That is so evil and I love it.

- I EVEN CALLED IT that there will be a scene where someone holds a gun to Spencer and Twincer, and they have to prove who the real Spencer is. I LOVED that!

- I have a feeling that once I finish typing this, the first word I’ll be seeing people use to describe the motive is cliche. Especially the above mentioned scene about not knowing which Spencer to shoot. It is a bit cliche. (”I’m Buzz Lightyear!” ... “no, I’m Buzz Lightyear!” Toy Story 2.. anyone? That’s where my mind went, lol) An evil, jealous twin is a tad cliche. I can't defend that. But within this world of PLL, it worked well I guess.

- Sorry Troian, I wasn't too convinced by the British accent unfortunately. But my gosh you slayed the rest. WHY COULDN’T WE GET AT LEAST ONE SCENE WITH TROIAN IN THE HOODIE!? That was a real shame. I get that it was set one year later, but... still, Alex should’ve wore the hoodie for a scene or two. For satisfaction’s sake, and it’s also just iconic for PLL.

- SHOUTOUT TO A FOLLOWER OF MINE WHO MESSAGED ME AFTER THE AIRPORT SCENE IN 715 SAYING THAT TWINCER SOUNDED BRITISH. HOW DID YOU GET THAT PART TOO!? “Are you going someplace?” sounded very British, I agree, but I never picked it until I was told to listen for it. Genius.

- We even got it right as to who Wren was shooting: Twincer, so that she can look like Spencer. Gosh, is there anything we didn’t predict?

- Bethany who? Eddie who? Seriously though, I’m going to spend hours editing my unanswered questions list. We got a lot. You can say whatever you want about the finale, but you can't say we didn’t get answers. Like, c’mon. If you’re saying we didn’t get answers, you’re the type of person who complains over nothing and is just impossible to please. Every word that came out of Alex’s mouth was golden. We had rapid fire Q&A with Alex and Spencer. I’m not saying this finale answered 7 years worth of questions; I’ll probably find some unanswered things once I start going through my list. But... You. Can. Not. Say. We. Got. Zero. Answers. I hope that when I finish this post, I don't see people spreading such stupid negativity.

- Wren died? How? Why? That was unnecessary. This finale really lacked a major death. I wanted to say OMG to at least ONE thing, and unfortunately, I couldn't. Not one thing shocked me.

- Am I the only one who thought Wren’s involvement seemed a bit forced?? What are the actual odds of Wren running into Alex at a bar in London? Seriously? But whatever. I’m so glad he played a role in this, and a damn big one too.

- So ALEX was the British person Mary was talking to on the phone in 701!!!

- I loved the scene between Alex and Charlotte!!

- I found it really really random that Alex started messaging Mona 1 year later. They had just moved on and all of a sudden Alex is back to start to reveal herself. Maybe I’m forgetting something because that was just weird.

- I was disappointed that there wasn't a major reason Alex took Ezra. I was waiting for them to reveal a mind blowing alliance between the two but then it slowly became obvious that he had just been kidnapped and wasn’t on the friendly side with Alex.

- Melissa’s mask was just pointless. That was pure fan service to MelissA theorists. (And also to throw us off for a bit.) And I knew Melissa wasn’t AD since there’s no way they’d reveal Uber A so randomly at a picnic like that. I knew it was a mask.

- I got dollhouse vibes when Spencer (or Ezra?) said “we’re still underground”. I thought that was creepy!

- Seriously... they make reference to the mums getting out of the basement, without actually giving us an answer??? “Do you remember how we even got out of there?” said Veronica. It would’ve been better to leave that dialogue out completely. Teasing fans over something they’ll never get, is far worse than acting like it was just forgotten.

- Did Veronica know that Spencer has a twin, since she made a comment in 4B about not knowing who is coming down for breakfast; Spencer or her evil twin? They really made it out as if no one knew about Alex.

- Wren is the father of Emison’s baby!? That was so subtle, the way Alex said it. WHY!? That makes no sense. I’ve noticed that this show is really big on “who” but not so big on the “why”. I’m just going to assume that Wren was the only male she had “access” to, to pull off the stunt, so she used Wren simply out of convenience. That’s all I can think of.

- So Ezria got married, Haleb is having a baby, Emison is engaged with twins, and Spoby is??? I was really really shocked actually that one ship is still left up in the air. It’s not a sad ending, but it’s not happy either. Maybe that’s the one thing that doesn’t get answered that Marlene was talking about.

- That last scene with the recreation of ‘that night’ should NOT have been the last scene of the entire show. If Freeform wants to launch a spinoff, fine, go ahead, but how dare you cut to the end credits after that scene. Call me fussy, but I call it passion. The final scene of the show should have been Mary and Alex stuck in Mona’s dollhouse. Cut to the credits after that closeup on Alex (Which, was brilliant by the way, and aligns with Janel’s comment of Mona having her own unique happy ending.)

- The wrap party was boring. Just saying. It should’ve been the 6 liars (yes Mona too) with Marlene, sitting in Spencer’s barn, talking about the making of the finale, any questions that couldn't get wrapped up, favourite episodes, etc. I finished the finale and thought “it’s okay, I still have one more chance to farewell the show since the last scene didn’t do it for me!” and nope, this third hour was no better.

- FULL CIRCLE HOW??? Can someone name one thing that happened, that can be classified as “full circle”??? In my mind, full circle means Alison dying and the girls having a sleepover in the barn!?

- Overall, this is how I summarise the finale:

It did not feel like a finale. The first half was boring, even for a series finale. The goodbyes were not strong enough, and I did not feel like I properly said “thank you” and “farewell” to my favourite fictional characters ever. The scene with the girls at the end was far too short. The AD reveal was very predictable for me and other dedicated detectives, but I think other fans across the world will be pleased since it wasn’t actually that obvious. The motive was great. Troian slayed. But, coming from a person who also has a non-rhotic accent (Australian), I felt put off by Alex’s accent. The final scene was just stupid, I’m not watching a spinoff - the final scene should’ve been Mary and Alex. We got a shit ton of answers, but, as I’ll soon see when I go to my list, I don't feel like it was everything. But absolutely, most things, yes.

In 3 words: slow, predictable, fun.

Here’s my theory where I correctly solved Alex Drake

Here’s my farewell letter

PLL 'Farewell, My Lovely'

Finally we get a good episode!! Sucks that it's the second last episode EVER. This whole season should have been full of episodes like this. The beginning literally had be shaking. The cop almost found the dead body in Aria's car. That was intense. Not sure how she got away with that. And then she was going crazy and talking to a corpse. I legit thought she was actually going crazy. She was going to turn herself in and take the blame for everything. But Ezra stopped her and she told him everything. Ezra has a masters degree in English literature so therefore he know how to dispose of a dead body. Umm sure Ezra, sure. The other Liars are still pushing Aria away. But Ezra got mad at them and told them that forgiveness is what makes them good people. That's what A.D doesn't have. A.D holds grudges. Who knew Ezra was the reasonable one?? Seriously, what Aria did is no worse than what Spencer did when she joined the A team. Or even what Mona did and they've all forgiven her. So for once thank you Ezra, for talking sense into the Liars (they're supposed to adults and they're still acting like teenagers??). Okay, so Mona had the game, but then it disappeared again, and she went to meet someone at that diner. The whole pie thing reminded me of Ezra and his obsession with key lime pie. I was kind of hoping he'd turn up at the diner, but nope. Mona was waiting and Caleb went in. Mona was so nervous, and I think for a second she thought Caleb was A.D. I was so mad at Caleb for ruining the whole thing. Mona was obviously scared. So she ran. Caleb and Spencer went down into this tunnel system trying to find her. Umm, really what was the point of the tunnel? I don't understand what they were even looking for?? And how Mona escaped so fast?? And the Caleb and Spencer dialogue was so awkward. Caleb told her that he and Hanna got married, and Spencer was cool with it. For second I thought she didn't even remember that she and Caleb were together (twin??). She was acting really weird. She told Caleb he doesn't need to apologise to her and that made me a bit angry. They were together for a while and it was really serious and then Caleb cheated on her with Hanna. Of course he should apologise Spencer!! He fucking cheated on you!! Sorry, still just really mad about Spaleb. And the line where Spencer asked Caleb what he thinks of the girls bathroom was so... weird. It was awkward and out of place and I don't understand why they left it in the episode when it could have easily been cut. Unless it's a clue about Twincer?? So Mona somehow managed to get out of the tunnel system, get changed into loser Mona outfit, change her hairstyle and go up to the top of bell tower. Not sure how she did it so fast. Hanna found her up there, and finally we get a flashback we should have seen a long time ago. Mona killed Charlotte. Which was obvious (and the promo pictures even spoiled it) but oh I enjoyed that scene! Vanessa Ray was the saving grace of the mess that was the CeCe A reveal. It was so good to have her back. THIS is the Charlotte we needed to see. She wasn't better. She never wanted to get better. She wanted to continue the game. Mona knew that and wanted to stop her and protect her friends. I love that she refers to the Liars as her friends! That's all she ever wanted. So she threatened Charlotte. She was about to push her off the tower, but instead she pulled her back. She only wanted to scare her. But then Charlotte fought back and tried to kill her, but Mona fought back and ended up accidentally killing Charlotte. I felt bad for Mona. All she was trying to do was protect her friends. When she was loser Mona she wanted to be a part of their friendship group, but Ali was a horrible bully to her and the others never spoke up. That's why she became A in the first place. She wanted revenge on the friends of the person who made her life hell. But now things have changed, and she wanted to scare Charlotte so she'd stop playing the game. It actually broke my heart to see her realise what she did. She didn't mean to kill her. She just wanted to stop her. Poor Mona. I think she blames herself for everything Charlotte did. If Charlotte hadn't met Mona in Radley, she never would have become A. None of this would have happened. Mona was getting better, but the board game sparked up her addiction. Her obsession. Her thirst for games. For messing with people. And then it caused her to go a bit mad. She's now acting like she loser Mona. Mary gave Spencer, and Ali, the Lost Woods Resort. It was sad to see her leave Spencer. She never really got to know her mother. And now she probably never will. They got the last puzzle pieces for the game. It looked a lot like one of Bethany's drawings. The augmented reality part of the game was so cool! Not sure how the game actually works but I want a board game like that!! So, Dunhill's body disappeared, and guess where A.D buried it? Charles' grave. Oh haha! I just thought that was hilarious to bury it in a metaphorical grave! So the Liars went to go dig it up, like that's not suspicious at all. But in the end they decided not to get anymore dirt on their hands. Tanner knew they were up to something and turned up with a huge digger to dig up the grave. Haha she is actually doing her job! Her and Furey are a first for Rosewood. It looked like they were screwed. They were going to be locked up for life. As Alison said to Emily, their baby would grow up just like Charlotte. Hospitals, mental institutes, prison etc. And the baby very well may turn out to have mental issues just like Charlotte. But, Mary took the blame. She confessed to killing her sister, and to killing Dunhill. She didn't have to do that. But she did it for Spencer. She gave her daughter a chance at a good life. I really liked Mary, and that made me very emotional. Poor Spencer. Tanner obviously still suspects the Liars, but Mary's story had enough evidence to close the case. So it's all good I guess. Somehow the Liars managed to get away with another crime. The game is over. It switched off. They finished it. They think it's over but they still don't know who A.D is. You're kidding me?? That flash forward that we've been waiting for a season and a half to see was just a dream??!! Seriously??? Finally we get an A ending! A is driving, with the dolls from the board game. Seriously, I would watch A driving for hours in the hopes that they'd turn around and reveal their identity! I actually really enjoyed that episode! We got an answer, even though it was obvious. And it was just a really entertaining episode that focused on the mystery, not the ships. The highlight for me was the Charlotte and Mona flashback. The promo for the final episode looks good! I really hope they don't fuck it up. Melissa is back!! It looks like a flashback with Spencer with horses! Mona slaps Spencer! Just like in the S2 finale when Spencer figured out she was A! Okay, the Twincer thing is really looking obvious now. Jenna can see! But why is Addison back?? Wren with a gun!!! I am just so happy that Wren is back!! I'm so excited to see him shoot a gun because I always wanted him to be A! I'm just so happy he's back!! Mona talking to A.D. Someone she didn't suspect. Hmm... And of course, A.D will be revealed! My number one suspect at the moment is Twincer/Spencerettia. As much as I don't like the idea of another secret sibling, it's honestly the only thing that makes sense at this point. I can't think of who else it could be. I would love for it to be someone like Wren or Melissa, or even Ezra. But I'm preparing myself to be disappointed. Because that's what this show is best at. This is it. In a week it will all be over. PLL will be finished. Wow. I've been watching this show for 5 years and as much as I can't wait for it to be over, I'm feeling a bit sad. It's been a part of my life for so long and it's surreal that it's almost coming to an end. There is only 1 more week of searching for clues and theorising before it will be over for good. I'm going to make the most of my final week before I'm free from this train wreck.
