Full Summary: it's the summer before the summer of Ali's disappearance. Aria and Ali decided that it would be awesome for Aria to spend the entire summer at Ali's house only going to her own to get things like clothes. Aria's parents agreed as long as she behaved and so did Ali's believing that Aria could be a good influence on Ali and maybe even Jason, but that was pushing it. So here it comes. Good luck DiLaurentis family.
Chapter 1: Home Alone!
3 person POV
It was dusk and the sun was fading fast. "Bye sweetie if you need us to come get you for any reason just give us a call," said Aria's paranoid mother Ella. Even though she knew nothing would happen to her daughter this was going to be the longest period of time her only daughter would be away from home whether it was simply down the street or not.
"K mom bye," Aria said as she desperately tried to get rid of her pestering parents. Her dad was sitting in the car as he eyed 18 year old Jason dangerously at which Aria rolled her eyes.
As her parents rolled out of the driveway Aria walked to where Jason was collecting her several bags. "Jason you don't have to do that I can do it," she said as Jason looked up in surprise.
He had never heard her be so informal with him, so comfortable, but then again she was always with Ali or one of the others, maybe that was what made her act differently towards him, Ali, maybe this is how she would really act around him, he liked it. He didn't even know why he was helping her with her things, he wasn't known for helping. But he felt drawn to her like he didn't have to help her, he wanted to.
"No its ok I got it Aria." He said causally, if she was comfortable then so was he.
She was about to rebut and tell him she could do it, again, when a voice rang out in a sharp and aggravated tone, "Punk Princess!" and Jason watched in disgust as Aria jumped to attention like a trained dog or that's how Jason saw it at least.
"Yeah Ali?" Aria asked Ali
"Come on let him get the bags, you don't want to break a nail, come on." Ali said as she spun and walked into the house.
Aria turned back to Jason, "Guess you can get my bags then," and as he picked up the last bag of her she turned to walk in but stopped a few feet in front of the door and turned around to Jason who was walking behind her and she said something Jason never thought would come out of one of Ali's friend's mouths. She said "Thanks Jason and it's good to see you again." before she ran into the house to Ali and left him stunned.
Jason smiled at the comment and he didn't know why. He walked inside to see Ali and Aria rummaging through the cabinets looking for something to eat as Jason carried the bags up into Ali's bedroom. He sat the bags down carefully on the bed when something rolled out of a bag that was slightly open.
Jason picked it up from where it lay on the bed and examined it. It was a pink Ed Hardy perfume bottle. He smirked knowing that Alison would never use something that was Ed Hardy and how she would be shocked at her friend.
Unable to resist the temptation, Jason popped the top of the perfume off and brought it up to his nose and took a deep breath. The smell was a very intoxicating smell but it didn't smell exactly like her but he knew that it was her scent and the perfume combined that was so utterly breathtaking. Sighing, he put the bottle back into the opened bag before zipping it up again. He had a strange feeling that was starting to take him over and he was beginning to think that she was the cause of it.
In the kitchen
"Hey Punk Princess, what about some Dorito's?" Ali asked her best friend
Aria shook her head as she pulled out some original flavored 'Sun Chips' and smiled at the blonde, "Jackpot." She said as she jumped down from the counter handing the bag to her friend.
"Perfect grab some coke from the fridge and meet me in my room see ya soon." Alison said as she grabbed two bowls from a cabinet and ran to her room. Aria sighed at her silly friend's tactics as she walked to the fridge and grabbed a 2 liter of Coca-Cola from the fridge before reaching looking for the cabinet with the cups.
"It's the cabinet on the end." a voice said right behind Aria said causing her to jump and give a small shriek and drop the 2 liter. A flash of blonde swooped beside her as she felt a breath on her thigh which caused involuntary tingles to run from her neck to her toes. The mysterious voice with blonde hair rose from being next to her thigh but came up slowly, taking their time causing Aria to get goosebumps on her exposed legs since she was just wearing a navy blue tank top and shredded short shorts.
Aria turned to face the blonde who had scared her and was face to face with none other than Jason. "Jason," Aria breathed, "You scared me," she said
"I'm sorry," he said
And he said it in a voice that Aria found incredibly sexy before mentally screaming at herself "SEXY! If Ali knew I even thought that even a single hair on his head was sexy she'd kill me!"
"It's cool," Aria said shakily as she walked down to the cabinet on the end and opened it and saw the cups there. She quickly grabbed two before saying, "Sorry to say hey and run but Ali's waiting on me."
She saw him mumble something but didn't hear it. Then like lighting, she made a mad dash for Alison's room.
What he had said was, "Alison doesn't deserve you." Not that she would ever know he said that.
Aria got to Alison's room just as she was starting a movie, "Thought you were gonna miss the beginning what took so long?"
"Oh I couldn't find the cups," Aria said as she sat down the 2 liter and the cups in floor next to the 2 bowls full of 'Sun Chips' and the now empty 'Sun Chips' bag that sat on a tray. Aria was surprised and impressed with how well and easy that lie came out as she asked "So what are we watching?"
Ali gave Aria a devilish smile and said, "Mean Girls" and played the movie. The girls had watched the movie so many times they actually spoke the lines as the actors did. They were about a quarter of the way through the movie when the doorbell rang
"Who is that?" Aria asked Ali
"Oh I invited Spence, Em, and Han over while you were downstairs." Ali said, "Go let them in," she said as Aria jumped up and ran out into the hallway headed for the stairs when she ran into someone causing her to lose her balance but before she could hit her head on the hard floor a warm hand cupped the back of the neck and around her tiny waist.
Aria opened her eyes to meet Jason's as he pulled her up from the ground. When she was back on her feet she suddenly noticed that she and Jason were awfully close causing her to get that funny feeling in the pit of her stomach again. "Whoa, what's the rush Speedy Gonzales?" Jason asked teasingly which only made the feeling in her stomach get worse. But much to her unknown the only reason he said it was to calm the exact same feeling he was having in his own stomach.
"Gotta get to the door the girls are down there." Aria said as she torn herself from his hands that he hadn't realized he had left there and as soon as she did he missed her warmth. She quickly ran down the stairs and flung the door open and saw her 3 other besties as they walked inside.
The quartet ran up the step as the door closed and rushed to Alison's room. Walking in they all fell into place with Aria on Alison's left, Emily awfully close to Alison on her right, Han on Aria's left, and Spence on Emily's right as the movie continued.
About halfway through the movie Mr. and Mrs. DiLaurentis walked into Ali's room as her mom said, "Girls we forgot that we had a benefit to attend in Philadelphia and won't be back until tomorrow will you girls be fine here with Jason?" she asked
"Yeah of course mom, bye guys have fun." Ali said as she ushered her parents out of her room and out the front door. Just as the 4 others saw a car pull out of the driveway Alison ran into the room and said, "You know what this means right?"
"What?" Emily said
"We're home alone!" Alison said with a delighted grin on her face.
