Disclamer : Pretty little liars is not mine, unfortunately. If it is, there will be a lot more Jason's scene. I love Drew Van Acker!
Pretty little liars will be on break until next year, so I make this story to entertain myself. This is started where the last episode over. And it focused on Jason and Aria, because I shipped that couple. I have no problem with Ezria, I just prefer Jaria. So the story continues.
"When Alison DiLaurentis was murdered, she was hit so hard, it made an indentation to her skull. I've given you guys so many chances to just be honest with me. Evidence doesn't lie. We've known all along what the murder weapon was. Tonight we caught you with it." Detective Wilden looked at the girls with a satisfied smirk in his face.
"How do you know that is the murder weapon?" Veronica Hastings used her profession as a lawyer to back up the girls.
Detective Wilden looked at Veronica. "I'm sure that this is the murder weapon." He said with a firm tone.
"Is that your gut or you actually have prove that it is the murder weapon?" Veronica is really good with what she do.
"You know that we already conduct the DNA test for this murder weapon." He said again.
"And the result will come out at least twelve hours later. You can't definitely know that this is really the murder weapon. You don't anything to hold the girls."
Detective Wilden narrowed his eyes. "They founded with it."
"And it just a usual shovel, without the DNA test result. You don't have any evidence to back up your argument that this is the murder weapon. They didn't do anything wrong."
"What they are doing in the woods?" Detective Wilden asked again. He almost runs out arguments.
"I don't see why they have to tell you. Is there a law that forbids them for going in the woods?" Veronica can see in detective Wilden's face that she had won the argument. "You will release the girls right now. You don't have the ground to hold them." Detective Wilden knows that he lost this argument. And he can't do anything at the moment. "Come on girls, let's go home." Veronica sat up from the chair. The girls followed behind her, still quiet.
They just stepped out the room when detective Wilden talks again. "This for the parents. They're still the persons of interest in this murder investigation. After twelve hours, the result will come out, and you can expect that I will personally arrest them myself."
"We'll see you in twelve hours, then. If we'll see you." Veronica calls the bluff.
"You will." Detective Wilden said and then he walked out.
The girls immediately run to their parents. Aria runs the Ella and Byron. "Mom! Dad!" Aria hugs both of them.
Hanna also runs to her parents. Ashley immediately hugs her tightly. Hanna hugs her mom back and then she looks at Tom. "I'm so sorry, dad, about earlier."
Tom opened his arms and Hanna immediately comes for it. Tom hugs her. "We'll talk about that later, okay? We're here for you. We'll get through this." Hanna can feel the tears that running through her cheek. After that she turns to Caleb. He was also stay there the entire night with her parents. Hanna buried her face on Caleb's shoulder as he caressed her hair.
"This is not the time to be relieved. It isn't over yet. We go to our house to figure this thing out. Remember, we just have twelve hours." Veronica said. Everybody nodded. She hugs Spencer's shoulder and walked out from the police station. The others are following behind them.
Jason DiLaurentis was standing outside the police station, leaning to his car. Peter Hastings is the first one that sees him, and he immediately walked to him and shouted. "What are you still doing here? I told you to leave."
Jason crossed his arms on his chest, with a firm expression. "And I told you I'm not going to leave. I'm here for –" Jason doesn't have the chance to finished, when he sees someone running to him.
Aria couldn't think of anything when she sees Jason standing in front of her. She pulled away from Ella who hug her shoulders and ran to Jason. "Aria!" Ella shouted. But she can say anything else when she sees her daughter run to Jason DiLaurentis.
Jason welcomes Aria in his embrace and hugs her tightly. He can feel that Aria's little hands tightly clutching to his neck. After she gave in at Jason's embrace, Aria couldn't hold in anymore. She burst out in sobs in Jason's embrace. She can feel Jason's hand slowly caressed her back as he whispered slowly to her ear, "I'm here." Aria is surrender to her weakness for a moment and just crying in Jason's embrace.
When she is ready to face the world again, she pulled away from Jason and looked at him. "I'm sorry that I ruined your shirt." Aria said, indicating the huge stain of her tears on Jason's jacket.
"I don't mind." Jason said. Jason smiled sincerely as he reached out to her face and wipe her tears with his fingers.
"I'm dirty." Aria said again.
"I don't care." Jason said firmly, with a charming smirk in his face. Aria also smiles to him.
"This is really a fascinating stuff, Jason, Aria." Veronica opened her mouth. "Everybody was surprised. Nobody knows that you two are dating." Aria and Jason just about to opened their mouth and explain, but Veronica raised her hand to them, tell them not to talk. "We don't have time to do this right now. We only have twelve hours. Can you two deal with that after we take care of this situation?" Jason and Aria are just quite. "We really have to go."
"I'll drive her." Jason immediately speaks again. Everybody was looking at him. But he just looked at Aria.
"Fine. Come on." Veronica said, and then she signaling all of them to goes following her.
Jason looked at Aria. "Get in." Jason said. Aria walks to passenger side and get into Jason's car. A few seconds later, Jason drove out. They are so busy with each other, so they didn't notice the shadow that stands behind the tree, watching them. Ezra Fitz walked away with hurt expression on his face.
"Tell me how bad it is." Jason asked Aria in the road to The Hastings.
"It's bad." Aria answered.
Jason turned to Aria for a moment. "So I heard that they found the murder weapon that used to kill Ali."
"We didn't kill Ali. I will never do anything to hurt her." Aria answered quickly, defending herself, and her friends.
Jason immediately reached for Aria's hand. "I believe you, Aria. That's not why I ask." Jason pulled away his hand again. "I know that you will never hurt Ali. I know you. I just want to know how you and the girls found it." Aria looked at Jason for a moment, and then she looked at her hands. She wanted to say anything to Jason. But she knows that she can't. "You can say anything to me." Jason talks again.
Aria turned to Jason again. She can see the sincere expression in his face. And it breaks her heart. "I know. I trust you." Aria said. "But this is not just about me. It involved all of us. I can't just tell you. It isn't just my own secret to tell. I'm sorry."
Jason smile at her. "It's okay. I understand."
Aria looked at Jason. "Thank you." Aria said.
"For what?" Jason asked with a confused expression.
"You came. Even after everything that I did to you, you still came." Aria said.
"Well, you need me." Jason smirked at her.
Aria smiled back at him. She remembers earlier when she called him from the police station. "I didn't make the call before. I like to make it now." She said to the police officer. The officer takes her to the phone. She dialed the number and waiting for the answer. When she hears his voice, she can't hold it anymore. She burst out into tears. "I made a terrible mistake, and I need you." And Jason immediately came for her.
Aria looked at Jason. "I was so scared earlier. They could've charged us and make us rot in jail, and I will never see you again. And I can remember is the last time I saw you. Your sad face when I went with Ezra. You were right. I do feel the same. I care about you too." Aria grunts," God! I'm such a horrible person."
"No, you're not. Don't say that." Jason says to her.
"But I am. I have a boyfriend. And I love Ezra. He's wonderful to me. Because of me, he could face a jail time, but he never gives up on me. And what I did to repay him? I fell in love with you." Aria said, without realizing what she saying.
"What did you said?" But Jason heard it loud and clear.
"He's been perfectly nice to me. He risks everything for me. But I go falling for you. My friends hates you. They don't trust you. I don't know why I never doubted you." Aria keeps rambling.
Suddenly Jason stopped the car on the side of the road. Aria just about to ask him why, Jason already pressed his lips on hers. The kiss wasn't soft like before. He kisses her hard, with passion. Aria doesn't have to think, she kisses him back. They kiss for a few seconds, before Jason pulled away with a smile in his face.
"I think we better catch up. All hell will break loose if Veronica Hastings loses it." Jason smirked.
"Yeah." Aria couldn't say anything anymore. She still can feel Jason's lips in hers.
Jason stopped the car in front of the Hastings. "I'll be next door if you need me." Jason said.
"Jason, I-" Aria doesn't know what to say to Jason.
"We'll talk later." And Jason understands her perfectly. "After all of this over. I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for you." Aria nodded. She kissed Jason's cheek softly and then she got out from the car and walked into the house.
Everybody was waiting on her when she walked in to the house. And Veronica doesn't waste any time. "You need to tell us everything. So we can help you." Veronica says, looked at the girls one by one. "You're not alone in this. We believe you. We know that none of you will do something like this. But you have to tell us everything."
The girls still silent. So Ella looked at Aria. "Aria, I know that there is something that you're telling us. Like the one that happened in that fashion show. I know that you girls know something. We're here to help."
"Yes, Hanna. We're your parents. We'll do anything to protect you." Ashley also spoke her mind.
"But you have to trust us, like we trust you." Veronica says again. She looked at Spencer. "Spencer?"
Spencer raised her head. "Could you all give us a minute?"
Veronica sighed. "Okay, you get ten minutes."
Spencer is the first on got up and walks toward her room. The other girls following her. "Do you think we should tell them?" Hanna said, as soon as Emily closed the door.
"What the hell are you doing with Jason?" Spencer turned to Aria.
"What?" Aria surprised that Spencer still want to ask about this, when their freedom on the line.
"He can be the one that behind this. He could be A, Aria." Spencer said again.
Now Aria knows what Spencer suggesting. "No, he's not. I believe him, Spence. He's not involved in this. I know he's not." Aria immediately defends him.
"Aria-" Spencer just about to say something else, when Emily interrupted her.
"Spence, I know that you're worried. But we're in a very bad situation here. We can blame everyone, or we can find the solution." Emily said.
"Look. I know that all of you don't trust Jason." Aria said again.
"It is really hard to trust him, considering his behavior, Aria." Hanna also said.
"Then trust me." Aria said again with a firm tone.
They're all looking at her. "You really have that much faith in him?" Spencer asked again.
Aria nodded without a doubt. "I do. He's innocent. He's not involved in this. I'm sure"
Spencer still can't trust Jason just like that. But she gave it for now. Emily is right. The situation is bad enough without her keep attack Aria.
"So we have to assume that is Garrett and Jenna that set us up." Hanna said; make Spencer back to the problem in hand.
"We have to know what NAT is." Spencer said.
"One of the members, Aria's new boyfriend, is living next door. We can just ask him." Hanna talked again.
"You guys, this is really not the time. Our parents are waiting on us downstairs for our explanation. What are you going to tell them?" Emily said.
"Anything but the truth." Aria answered.
"I agree with Aria." Spencer also said.
"Why we can't just tell them the truth? I'm tired of lying." Emily said.
"Emily is right. Maybe we're out of our head to think that we can handle A alone. Maybe it is time to seek for help." Hanna is backing Emily up.
"The last time we tell anyone about this, how is Dr. Sullivan? She is still missing. We still don't know what happen to her." Spencer said.
"That could happen to anyone. I think we all know what A capable of. We can't take the risk of endangering our family." Aria said. Emily and Hanna sighed. They know that Aria and Spencer are right.
"So what we're going to tell them? They will want to know what we are doing in the woods." Hanna said.
They are all silent for a minute or more. Their mind is thinking about the same thing. They are trying to find some reason. "Maybe we could them that Dr. Sullivan asked us to go there." Spencer said.
"Is that your only idea?" Hanna doesn't agree.
"Think about it, guys. This is a great idea. We tell them that Dr. Sullivan asked us to go there. And then they will have to find Dr. Sullivan to crosscheck with our story. It's a win-win. They can find Dr. Sullivan along the way." Spencer explained.
"What if they're not found her?" Aria asked.
"It is too bad for Dr. Sullivan. But there is no harm done. If they can find her, they will know that she's gone missing. And that is not our faults" Spencer answered. "What do you think?" Spencer asked all of them.
She looked at Hanna. She just shrugged. Spencer looked at Emily after. "I think that is the best idea so far, considering we don't have anything else." Spencer looked at Aria. She nodded in agreement.
"What about that shovel? Is it really the murder weapon? The one that killed Ali." Aria said again.
"We still don't know. They are still conducting the DNA test." Spencer said.
"If that is really the murder weapon, there is no doubt then." Emily said.
"What?" Hanna asked.
"A is the one that kill Alison, whoever he, she or they were." Emily said.
They are silent again for a minute or more. "How is about that fashion show?" Aria suddenly opened her mouth again. The others were looking at her. "My mom knows that something." Aria is looking at Hanna. "I think she even talked to your mom."
Emily sighed. "This is really too much. How long we have to do this? Lie to our parents?" The others don't say anything. They don't know what to say either.
"Spencer! Aria! Hanna! Emily!"
"Our time is up." Spencer said. "I think we shouldn't say anything about what happened in that fashion show. If we're stuck, just say we suspected it was Noel Khan."
"Noel?" Aria widened her eyes. Aria already told the girls about the incident with Noel after the fashion show. She just didn't volunteer to add that Jason was with her at the same time.
Spencer shrugged. Hanna and Emily just sighed. Spencer always has the idea. So it best that they just followed her, like they used to followed Ali. Spencer walked out from the room and come back to the living room, followed by the others.
Spencer looked at her mom. "We already talk about this. We think it best if we tell you what happened. We realized now, that we can't do this alone." Spencer looked at Emily.
"I got a letter from Dr. Sullivan. She needs to see us. She said she has something to tell us. I try to text the girls. But my phone died." Emily said.
"We got the same news when we're in the church. When we got there, we found Emily lying in the ground." Hanna continued.
"What happened?" Veronica asked, straightly to Emily.
"I don't remember. I remembered I was calling for Dr. Sullivan. I went into the barn, and suddenly I can't breathe. I can't remember anything else." Emily explained. "When I woke up, I saw them."
"We're panicked when we saw Emily lying on the ground. We don't really see anything else. But when she woke up, we started to see the surrounding around us. And that's when we notice a shovel. And then we saw a straw buried in the ground." It is Aria's turn now to explain.
"We don't have the chance to think. We just assume the worst, that there is someone buried down there. We started to dig. And you know the rest." Spencer is finishing their explanation.
"There is something that I don't understand." Peter Hastings looked at the girls. "Why is Dr. Sullivan wanted to see you all in the woods?"
"You have to ask Dr. Sullivan about that, dad." Spencer answer.
"Don't you think it's strange that she wanted to see you in the woods? Why you went there?" Veronica asked too.
"We didn't know. She didn't exactly say the woods. She gave us GPS coordinate." Emily said.
"We didn't know that it will turn out like this." Spencer said again.
"Why is Dr. Sullivan can have the weapon that used to murder Alison?" Byron opened his mouth.
"We should ask her about that, dad. We didn't say anything, because we didn't want to get her in trouble." Aria said again.
"We should tell the police about this. Dr Sullivan set them up. They didn't know anything about this." Veronica said to the others parent. The girls are just silently looking each other. They don't want to lie to their parents. But they know that they didn't have a choice in order to protect them.
Suddenly four of cell phones are buzzing. The girls are looking at each other. They didn't have to opened to know that is A who texted them. But they opened it anyway. Their parents are busy talking to each other about how to release them from all the charges. So they didn't notice them looking at their cells at the same time.
They opened their cells. "Good thinking, bitches. Glad that you're figure out how to play this game. I will return the ball back to you, because I still want to play. A." The girls are looking at each other. The game is just begins. And they didn't have any intention to lose. They will fight back.
