Jason stood in the cart with everyone after what had happened to Aria. He moved to her and hugged her asking if she was ok. He was worried and she told him she was fine giving him a small smile. They stood and talked ignoring the cops around him until the door opened. Once she saw Ezra, her face held a smile and she moved towards him, hugging him. Hanna watched Jason as his face fell and she felt for him wishing things were different. Aria's attention was on Ezra who was being concerned about her until she noticed something off about him. Something that made her feel sick to her stomach.

"What happened to your hand?" Aria asked Ezra seeing the white band aid on it. He looked to her panicked before he gave her an answer, one she knew was fake.

"Oh I cut my hand when I was, um, baking tonight." He told her rubbing the back of his head with his bad hand.

"But you had a meeting tonight, to be a ghost writer." She said stated, feeling the girls coming up behind her.

"Maybe its best you leave Ezra. Aria needs time to process this all."Caleb said moving in front of Aria doing what he could to protect her. But it was too late. Aria knew what that meant and she couldn't stand to know that Ezra had been the one to put her in the crate. He tried to kill her. Aria pushed Caleb out of her way and slapped Ezra across the face as hard as she could.

"I hate you! You tried to kill me! Why? Why are you A?" She yelled to him. Caleb and Hanna tried to keep her calm but it was too late. She was on the ground in tears and Hanna knelt down pulling her close holding her.

"You come near her again, I will kill you. I don't give a shit who you are." Caleb told Ezra, anger in his voice. Aria was like a little sister to him. One that bugged him yet made him protective all at once. Ezra looked to Toby and nodded before leaving. Eyes moved to Toby and Spencer looked to him waiting for an answer. Jenna was the one that spoke up however. "You are all incompetent. I told you do, Get rid of her and Ezra gets hurt and you can't push a box out Toby? God." She screamed to them. Spencer shook her head unable to handle it all. The cops took Ezra, Jenna and Toby in to custody and led them away. Noel looked to them feeling horrible for everything.

"I'm really sorry guys. I didn't know Jenna was doing this to you all. Please forgive me." He said. Emily nodded; telling him it was fine and gave him a small smile as he walked away. Caleb and Hanna helped Aria up and Hanna looked over to Jason. It had really been a hard night for him. First, Aria gets hurt, the same Aria he has had feelings on for forever, then his sister's body is found on ice on the train, and then Aria gets her heart broken. It took all he had in him to not beat Ezra up. Hanna helped Aria off the train and Emily and Spencer followed. Caleb turned to help but was stopped hearing Jason.

"Caleb, hold on a second." Jason called before moving towards him. He was shaken after that night he had but wanted Aria ok more than anything. Caleb turned looking to Jason, a little more hesitantly than he wanted it to appear.

"Promise to call me if she needs anything? I know she is in good hands with you guys but Just call if she needs something." Jason said grabbing a napkin writing his number on it handing it to Caleb, though he knew Spencer and Aria had his number in their phones. Caleb took the napkin and nodded looking back to Jason.

"Sure man. And Sorry about your sister. You should go relax. It's been a hard night on you." Caleb said looking to him a little confused on why he care so much for Aria. Then again, Hanna told him if he could only see the way Jason really looks at Aria he would understand, then she quoted some Notebook movie and he was lost.

"Thanks man. But I just want Aria ok. I have a feel things will be fine now that we know who is behind it all."Jason said before he headed off the train. Paige came back in to the cart looking to Caleb. "You coming? Hanna is waiting on you " She said to him moving more in to the cart. Caleb nodded and headed towards Paige putting the napkin in his pocket as they headed over to his car. The drive back to Hanna's didn't take long and the 6 of them remain quiet the entire time. Hanna's mom was still shaken from her night she agreed to let them all stay, Even Caleb as long as he slept on the floor in her room and not in her bed.

Once they were all out of costumes and in to Pjs they sat on Hanna's bed and the silence continued.

"Can someone please say something? This silence is hurting my head." Hanna spoke up from her spot in Caleb's arms. Caleb kissed her head before Aria spoke.

"Some how I knew that it was him. I knew in me that Ezra was lying. I guess I had just hoped he was cheating on me. Not on A's team." She said through tears. Spencer, who understood where she was coming from, wrapped her arms around her and held her close. Both were crushed and just wanted to be there for the other.

"At least it's over now. We can go back to our lives and be normal. Not have to worry about A coming after us." Emily said. The girls all agreed and the silence took over again. Caleb cleared his throat looking to Aria.

"Jason was worried about you. He wanted to make sure you were ok and told me to text him if you needed anything." He told her watching her. Hanna elbowed him, muttering it was not a good time for that and Aria looked up, for once keeping calm.

"He did? Im going to text him Then head to bed." She said as she got off the bed and grabbed her phone. Everyone else moved in to the make shift beds on the floor, Aria and Spencer taking Hanna's bed while Hanna, Emily, Paige and Caleb took up spots on the floor. With the lights out, Aria looked to her phone smiling as she texted Jason.

Caleb told me what you said tonight. But Im texting to see if you are ok? You went through worse than I did. –A.

Im fine. Though I feel sick thinking the drinks I had tonight were above my sisters body. How are you holding up? – J.

Im ok. Its been a tough night but I am ready for it to be over. –A.

Aria closed her eyes wondering if she should have talked to him more. But she didn't know what else to say. Though it surprised her when her phone went off.

If you are feeling up to it, we should meet up this weekend, Get some coffee and talk about things that aren't tonight related. –J

Arias face lit up and she took a second to reply, she didn't want to see too eager.

I would love too. Get some sleep. Ill text you in the morning, -A

Aria set her phone down and smiled ready start a new chapter.
