General POV
Of all the places in Rosewood, Jenna Marshall never thought she would be here. She walked up towards Aria Montgomery's house careful to concentrate on what was in front of her using her walking cane.
Aria came to Jenna's house today. It scared her at first because she didn't know who it was, But then after a long thought she came to a conclusion that it was Aria. Mainly because Aria was the only one from their "Posse" that has ever reached out to her, the only one that seems to care even the least.
Jenna approached the front door only to realize that someone was already standing there. The short brunette had just put her coat on the rack and turned to close the door when she saw her. Aria gasps when she sees Jenna.
"I know you were in my house today" Jenna says coldly. She didn't mean for it to come out so harsh but she could care less. Everything she had was taken away from her. Her brother. Her eyesight.
Her girlfriend.
She missed Shana so much she almost started crying right then and there. But she had to hold it together.. She didn't need Aria of all people pitying her.
"You scared me" Aria said breathing heavily. Jenna had came out of no where. And was standing in her doorway.
"What were you doing in my house?" Jenna said calming her tone a little. But she needed to know why Aria was there that evening. Aria had came at a bad time. Jenna was all worked up and crying and then left her house before Jenna could catch her. The petite girl must have came for a reason.
"Do you wanna... D-do you want to come inside? I can make some tea" Aria stutters. Looking at Jenna a little frightened, why was she here? She starts breathing heavier. What if Jenna found out about what she did to Shana? What if she was going to punish her? Aria calms herself and pushes the bad thoughts out of her head. There was no way Jenna could know about that.
"What I would like is an answer" Jenna's voice cracks. She shouldn't be here... She should be at home wallowing in her own guilt. Not here interrogating an innocent girl.
Everything is quiet for a moment.
"I-i heard about Shana..." She felt so guilty. Spencer said that Jenna sounded broken on the phone. She couldn't stand that she took someone that Jenna cared about so deeply. "So i was just coming to see if you were okay." Aria says softly.
It took all that Jenna could to not laugh at the thought of that. Aria was so full of it. There had to be another reason why the shorter girl came to her house earlier.
"Why would you care if I was okay?" She said as she smirked slightly.
"Look... With Ali back it's just..." Aria pauses, not looking at Jenna. "Bringing up a lot of stuff for everyone " Aria almost whispered trying not to cry
"And we all feel really terrible about our part in the accident.. and I was-" Jenna cut her off before she could finish.
"Placating your guilt" she said, her voice cracks. She didn't have time for this. She was tired of people feeling bad for her. It made her angry... Because it was partially her fault.
"Jenna..." Aria says sympathetically. "Look... I know i might be the last person on earth that you want to talk to right now... but for two years we all thought that Alison was dead" She knew that Jenna probably wouldn't listen but she owes it to her. "So I know what it's like to lose someone..."
This time Jenna can't hold it in. She laughs lightly with a smirk.
"Right.. but you still have your friends.." She says moving her hand around.
"I... don't have anybody left," Her voice cracks and tears form underneath her dark sunglasses. Shana was the only person she had... Her only friend... Her lover was gone and it was ALL OWN HER FAULT and that made Jenna so furious with herself. She tried as hard as she could to keep the tears from falling.
"Right... but I guess that it's... nobody's fault.. But my own..." Jenna couldn't stand it anymore.
She turned on her heel and thrusted her walking cane forward. Tears begin to fall down her face as she walks a few steps forward. She wipes her face and takes another step right before Aria stops her.
"Hey..." She couldn't stand the guilt building up in her body. "Are you sure that you don't want to come in for that tea?," Everything was silent except for the muffled chirping of the crickets.
Jenna hung her head and forces herself to stop crying. She couldn't break down... At least not here in front of someone, especially Aria. She couldn't let Aria see her like this again in one day, because it made her seem weak... She wipes her face waiting for her to continue.
"I didn't really know Shana that well... but if you..."she closes her eyes not believing what she was saying.
"If you wanted to come in and talk and tell me about her...?"
Jenna suddenly feels her head begin to nod slightly. Maybe Aria really did care... The idea of someone actually caring about her brought tears to her eyes. She felt so outcasted. So lonely. Maybe having someone to talk to would help with the stress. She turns around to Aria.
"I think that would help..." Jenna said in a thankful tone. She nods her head a little.
"Thank you... Aria.." She says trying to keep the tears in.
"Yeah..." Aria replies breathy. She moves to the side so Jenna can walk in. She felt so nervous... Jenna was so creepy but she had to do this. She owed it to her. After all she basically ruined Jenna's life.
Aria closes the door once Jenna gets inside.
"You can... Um sit on the couch while I go get the tea ready.." She says while looking at Jenna. She starts to wonder if Jenna could see. But then quickly decides that she can't. If Jenna was truly as broken as she seemed then she wouldn't take the time to fake being blind.
"I might need some... Assistance... " Jenna says embarrassed. She hated that she could no longer see. The surgery was suppose to last longer... But it went away before she was ready for it to go again.
"Uhh.. Yeah... Sure " Aria says walking over to Jenna. She nearly jumps when the taller loops her arm with hers. Why was she so jumpy? If Jenna wanted to hurt her she would have already. She calms herself and walks the non seeing girl over to the couch. Aria realizes that Jenna is shaking slightly.
"Hey are you okay?" She asks Jenna as she helps her sit.
Jenna's hands start to tremble even more. Jenna starts to break down. She can't stop thinking about Shana. She couldn't believe that she was truly gone. That her girlfriend was DEAD. She bursts into tears unable to hold it in any longer. Her whole body shook tears streaming down her face as she cries harder.
"She's g-gone!" Jenna almost yells. Her body shook and her lip trembled. She couldn't breathe... it was like her whole world came tumbling down all over again. She cries even harder and clutches the cushion on the couch.
Aria's stomach dropped as she watched the green eyed girl break down like there was no going back. Tears of guilt and pity formed in her eyes...
Aria did this...
She caused this...
If she wouldn't have killed Shana, Jenna wouldn't be feeling so alone right now. Tears fall from the shorter brunettes eyes.
"I'm so sorry Jenna..." Aria says as she sits next to her. She hesitantly puts her arm around the traumatized girl and then Jenna leans into Aria and cries into her shoulder. Aria tightens both her arms around Jenna and rubs her middle of her back. She thinks about wiping her own tears but then realizes that it wouldn't matter to Jenna.. Because Jenna couldn't see.
A horrible horrible feeling rushed through Aria's skin. That was her fault too, Jenna couldn't see because Alison and the rest of her friends blinded her. Aria felt so guilty. Her hands were shaking as she pulled the sobbing girl closer trying to soothe her as much as she could.
Jenna cries harder at the comfort of someone. She wrapped her arms around Aria. Her glasses push onto her face but she doesn't care. She liked the comforting feeling that the shorter brunette was giving her.
It was something she had been missing since Shana died. Something that she thought she would never feel again. But here she was, in Aria's arms crying in her parents living room. She couldn't believe that she was here doing this. But she couldn't keep the guilt in any longer.
"I-it was all my f-fault" Jenna stutters out into the other girls shoulder, once her crying lessened. Aria felt even more bad but she also felt confused.
"What do you mean?" She says while holding Jenna close and rubbing her back. Why would she feel guilty if she wasn't the one who killed her?
"The night... B-before Shana..." She couldn't bring herself to say the words. It hurt to much.
"Before she died..." Aria finishes for Jenna.
The crying girl briskly sits up and wipes her face. She nods her head.
"We were in my apartment... In New York.." Jenna begins to tell her as the memory came rushing back to her.
**FLASHBACK**
"This isn't going to do anything to help us right now!" Jenna yelled at Shana while sitting Indian style on her bed. Her girlfriend was freaking out and trying to plan a drastic move on Alison DiLaurentis, the girl that blinded Jenna from the beginning. And now that she couldn't see again made everything even worse.
"Jenna! I don't think you understand where I'm coming from!" The older girl shouts back pacing in front of the bed. She was planning on cornering Alison and killing her once and for all. She had done enough damage to Jenna and it had to stop. If the blonde disaster was gone for good then Shana and Jenna could live in peace together with out her distractions.
"Oh yes I do know Shana..." Jenna says trying to calm her tone but it still came out irritated. What Shana was trying to do was unforgettable. Something that Jenna would never be able to live with. It scared her that her girlfriend would even suggest something so horrible. Yes she hated Alison.. but not enough to KILL her.
"This isn't a good idea and you know it!" Jenna continues, "I know that Ali hurt me... I know that she has made my life a living hell but she doesn't deserve to die for it. Nobody deserves that!
And if you-" Shana cuts her off.
"If I do this then you will finally be happy!" Her body raged with frustration, that her love wasn't understanding her reasoning.
"Alison took your eyesight away from you Jenna..." Shana says calming her tone as she sits on the bed next to Jenna and grabs her hand. If she wanted Jenna to agree with her, yelling at her wouldn't help. It was a while before anyone spoke again.
"Jenna... I'm doing this for you, so that way you can move on With your life once you have justice." Shana continued. "I'm going to do this no matter what else you say... Me and you both know that this is what you want" she says picking up her tone.
"No... It's not Shana" Jenna says as she got up off the bed. She didn't need her walking cane because she was familiar to the room. She walked over to where her dresser was and felt around for her small snowglobe. It was special because it was one of the many gifts Shana gave her.
"Killing someone would just make it harder to live..." She continues once she grabs the snowglobe and sat on the opposite side of the bed away from Shana. She knew that if Shana smooth talked to her and loved on her she would give in to her unreasonable idea in a split second. "I left Rosewood for a reason.. to get away from the past not to drag things up."
"But that's what those five girls do best Baby..." Shana says moving closer to Jenna. She had to try to get Jenna to understand because if her Jenna didn't come with her it wouldn't work out the way she wanted.
"Don't 'baby' me" Jenna said getting angry as she moves away from Shana.
This was ridiculous. Shana was ridiculous. Them fighting over it being ridiculous was ridiculous! Jenna couldn't take it.
"If you want to do it then fine!" Jenna yelled in Shana's face.
"But don't go dragging me into your mess...!" She couldn't be blamed for this. She had to much going on. If Shana wanted to do it then fine. But Jenna wasn't going to stick around and watch.
"Go ahead! But I hope you know WE ARE DONE! Don't come back once you leave.." Tears start to pour unwillingly from her eyes. She couldn't believe what this had come to. She gets up and quickly goes into the bathroom and slams the door before locking it. Her body was shaking and she was so angry. Shana was making her so mad. Killing Alison wouldn't solve anything it would just cause more guilt and more drama.
"Jenna..." Shana said softly as she knocked on the bathroom door.
"Please open up... We can talk about this" She didn't think Jenna was being serious. She was just angry and would get over eventually. Shana sighed when Jenna responded with only sobs. She had to do this. Jenna would realize that this was the right thing to do once it was done. She grabbed her shoes and put them on. Then she looked back at the bathroom door.
"I love you Jenna... I know you might not agree with my decision... But I'm doing this for you" Shana said as she walked out the front door.
**END OF FLASHBACK**
"That was the last time I heard from her" Jenna finishes crying hard. She felt guiltier then ever. "If I wouldn't have yelled at her and I would have just handled it better it could have gone differently." Her body still shaking. Feeling so guilty.
"Jenna... you can't blame yourself for that... You had no idea-" Jenna cuts her off.
"But I still kicked her out..." She turns her head away from Aria. She shouldn't be here. She was wasting Aria's time.
"I-i should go" Jenna says as she reaches for her walking cane. Aria grabs it.
"Jenna... you and I both know that you don't want to go home alone..." Aria says. If the story that Jenna just told her was true then it made Aria feel even worse because Jenna didn't know the true story.
"With everything your going through I think you really need a friend. And I... I think that I could be that friend for you" Aria couldn't tell Jenna the truth because it wouldn't help anyones situation.
"Why are you being so nice?" Jenna says as a tear falls. She wasn't use to it, Someone other then Shana caring about her. It felt... Good.
"Because... Everyone deserves to be loved" Aria says as she grabs Jenna's hand. It felt good to help someone and to have a friend other then Emily, Hanna Spencer and Alison. But she had to keep this a secret. She knew that her friends wouldn't agree with this friend ship.
"Thank you again..." Jenna says, "Do you have a blanket or anything?" She says assuming that she'll be sleeping on the couch.
"Oh.. You can sleep in my room with me.. I don't mind" Aria said a little shakily. She had to get use to being around Jenna whether she liked it or not. She grabbed Jenna's hand and guided her up the stairs. It was Going to be a long night.

I know the POV is very confusing but in future chapters I correct my mistakes. Just hang on until chapter # and the POV wont be as confusing. I would fix the first two chapters but then it would change the format of the story and the mood.
Well dont forget to Review because i love the feedback (good and bad)
