(The Apple Rose Grille)
Emily started with "I can't believe she's really gone. It's all surreal."
I know, I like to think she just ran off with that hot lifeguard and would show up some day just telling us stories of what happened between them" Hanna replied.
"What was his name again?" Aria asked.
Hanna chuckled and said "Who cares?! Save me!" she answered dramatically, with all the girls laughing at her and agreeing.
"Don't you guys remember how pissed Ali had been that day he walked up to us and was trying to flirt with Bridget and not her and he completely ignored her" Spencer said.
"I literally thought that steam was going to blow out of her ears" Aria replied.
Hanna looked at everyone "Don't you remember Jason's face?" replying Hanna.
"He looked like he was ready to kill the guy, he had been so pissed off" Emily said, laughing with all the other girls.
"I thought it was cute how protective Jason was of Bridge, I mean we never saw any emotion besides anger with him unless he was with Bridget" Aria told them.
"Remember how if a boy tried to talk to B or got in a two foot radius, Jason would threaten them to stay away from her" Spencer said.
Bridget was surprised "What?! Is that why whenever I tried to ask a guy a question they would look at me weirdly and scarily and then they would literally run from me? I mean they all would run!" Bridget asked the girls.
"Yeah! All the guy's knew that you were Jason's girl. They couldn't even look at you without Jason threatening to kick the crap of them" Hanna told her, looking directly at her.
"Ali always used that against Jason, since he didn't want you to know about it. Ali would get whatever she wanted with threatening to tell you what was going on" Emily said.
That silenced all of them and then they heard the door opening. With a couple seconds later they heard a tapping that sounded like a stick and they all looked up to see Jenna entering the Bar and grill. The girls then grabbed all of their belongings and left. When they walked out of the place they all looked at each other then went their separate ways with only Bridget and Hanna going the same way to their house.
(Marin Household; Next Day)
As Bridget awoke the next morning and got ready and then headed downstairs, as she had walked into the kitchen she had noticed all the tension between Hanna and their mother. As last night Hanna had told her what was happening about her stealing things and how her mother was trying to get rid of the charges with sleeping around with Detective Wilden.
"Good morning" replied Bridget. Too which she only got muttered answers.
Bridget was glad that none of the girls or her mother knew what had happened before between her and Wilden at a party at Eric Kahn's party.
(Flashback; Eric Kahn's Cabin)
Bridget was sitting with Ian Thomas and Melissa Hastings, two of her close older friends. She was enjoying their company when they both got up to god knows where. Bridget knowing that they were going to make out some place. She looked around her at all the drunk and stoned people looking for Jason, sighing when she couldn't find him. She then got up and proceeded down a hallway where no one really was. As she had turned around she had bumped into someone.
"Oh gosh! I'm so sorry!" Bridget said since she had spilled his drink all over him.
The guy chuckled and said "It's fine. No harm done, I've heard this shirt was horrendous before so you just helped me get rid of it. I'm Darren Wilden, by the way" he told her smiling.
Bridget smiled at him "Bridget Marin" she answered. The two of them began a conversation smiling and laughing until Darren had leaned in and kissed Bridget, with her immediately shoving him off of her.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?!" exclaimed Bridget.
"What does it look like? We're going to have some fun" He told Bridget as he forced her up against the wall with Bridget trying to shove him off but he was a lot stronger than her.
It wasn't until Darren had been shoved off of her did she feel relieved. She had never been that close to not having control of the situation.
"Are you alright?" Mystery guy replied, as Bridget still hadn't looked up.
Bridget looked up and saw Ian and sighed "Thank you so much!" she told him and hugged him. Ian had always been like a brother to her.
"It seriously no problem! You're like my little sister and I feel the need to protect you!" Ian told her.
Bridget looked at Ian and said "Can we not tell Jay, about what happened? Please!"
Ian nodded and agreed "I think that would be best otherwise Jason might kill the guy and he is a police officer…" he told Bridget.
"He's a police officer?!" Bridget answered.
"Yeah, definitely abuses his power. We should get back before Jason notices you're gone. Do you mind if I tell Melissa? Just so she can keep her eye on you too." Ian asked.
Bridget sighed "I guess. Just don't want to be watched 24/7 alright?!" she told him.
(Present)
She looked up noticing what was showing was Darren Wilden talking about Alison's disappearance and she sighed as she remembered that day.
(Spencer & Bridget)
While Spencer was practicing her field hockey shots, Bridget was sitting off to the side studying since she was never the smartest and had to study to be able to keep her grades up this year unlike last year.
"Nice! So I hear you're gunning for varsity captain" Emily said as she walked onto the field with Maya. Bridget then walks over to all of them and joins the conversation.
Spencer answered "Well I have a shot"
"If a Hastings has a shot, they take the shot." Bridget exclaims.
Maya then asks "Is that a drinking game?"
With Spencer saying "Yeah, it should be" she answered nodding.
All four of the girls laugh and then Emily introduces Maya to both of the girls, with Maya slipping out "New girl moving into the dead girls house" she says then pauses and adds "I can't believe I just said that"
"I can't believe you said that either." Spencer said.
Emily then intervenes "Hey, We're going to get caffeine, do you and Bridge want to come?" she asks.
"I would kill for a latte, but this is really my only time to practice" Spencer said with Bridget adding "I have a quiz today so I really need to study for this. Some other time though" Bridget said with a smile.
As Emily and Maya walked away, Bridget heard Maya say "She seems intense"
While Emily said "If you knew her parents you would see why" and Bridget yelled "You don't even know half of it!" at the same time. Which Spencer still taking shots, shook her head but laughed.
(School Day)
Later in the day as the bell rings they hear the announcement or Emily Fields, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Bridget and Hanna Marin to go to the office. As they start to walk there Aria gets a text message from 'A' which reads:
"Dead Girls Walking… -A"
When they arrive at the office they notice Detective Wilden there. He explains that they're going to go over their statements again. While doing this the girls notice he doesn't believe them and says that it seems like a story they came together with.
(Lunch)
"He knows we're lying" Aria told all of the girls.
"We'll lying is not a crime" Hanna says.
"It is if when you're giving statements. It's called obstruction of justice" Spencer proceeded to say to Hanna.
"Well the most important part is that we don't know anything that happened to Ali that night" Bridget told them.
"We should have told the police the truth of what happened to Jenna" Emily said "The night that it happened"
"Well, I wanted too! Remember?" She exclaimed.
"You guys made me lie to Jason! He knew and still knows that I was lying about that whole night. He is the only one who knows when I lie. He finally stopped pressuring me to tell him after a while but still!" Bridget said.
Aria then added "We had a chance to stop Ali"
"We didn't! Telling now won't bring Jenna back her eyesight." Spencer replied.
They then noticed Jenna walking near them, so Aria got up and offered her a seat with them. Jenna sat next to Emily and Hanna with Bridget and Aria diagonal and Spencer strait across from her.
"When did you get back Jenna? I heard you went to school for the visionary impaired" Spencer asked Jenna.
Jenna smiled, saying "You can say blind Spencer, it's not a dirty word" she pauses and says "Wow, it's so quiet, you guys used to be the fun table, What happened?" Jenna asked all of the girls with a slight smile on her lips.
(Flashback; Emily's House)
The six girls were laughing and having fun together, trying on different clothes and giggling over nothing. Alison pulled a shirt over her head when she spun around yelling "I see you" running over to Emily's window in the process pushing Aria on the bed.
"What Ali? What did you see?" Emily asked Ali concerned
"It was that perv Toby Cavanaugh, spying on us in that tree" Alison told the others.
Alison then proceeded to bring the girls to his house with a stink bomb and threw it in the garage, as Alison was looking in she gasped turned around and yelled at the girls "Run! Run now!" as a few seconds later it blew and then a fire started.
"What did you do?" Spencer yelled at Alison.
"C'mon we have to get out of here" Alison told the girls as they ran away from the scene. Making the girls agree not to tell anybody.
(Present Time)
While Jenna was sitting at their table all of their phones began to ring at the same time.
"Aren't you going to get that?" Jenna says and then handed Spencer her phone, which read:
"If only she could see how guilty you look. –A"
(Later that Night)
Bridget was over at Noel's house for the night, and was sitting on Noel's bed texting Hanna while Noel was still showering. Hanna was telling her about the awkward dinner she had with their mother and Detective Wilden. Bridget laughed looking around Noel's messy room and noticed a stack of envelopes and recognized the handwriting as Jason's.
'What the hell?' she thought to herself.
She got off his bed and went over to the envelops and realized that all of them were addressed to her from Jason. She was confused as to how Noel had gotten a hold of them. She then heard Noel shut the water off so she grabbed the stack and put them quickly into her bag as Noel stepped out of the bathroom.
Noel looked at her "Why are you on the floor?" he asks her.
"I just finished my homework and was putting it in my bag." She told Noel.
"Well we have school tomorrow so are you ready to crash?" Noel asked.
Bridget looked over at her bag then back to Noel and faked a smile but nodded. She didn't get any sleep at all.
(Bridget, Mona & Hanna)
Bridget didn't have any alone time from then on to look at the letters. Mona and Hanna had dragged her along with them to go shopping. They walked into the parking lot together laughing until Hanna and Bridget noticed Detective Wilden leaning on a car watching them a couple feet away. Both Hanna and Bridget walked over to him.
"Are you spying on us?" Hanna asked as they got close to him.
"Just doing my job" he responded "Listen Hanna and Bridget I don't care if you were drinking that night what I care about is you girls knowing what happened to Alison or one of you killing her" He told them walking away.
Hanna looked at Bridget worriedly.
"Don't worry Han… I'll talk to Jason" Bridget says.
Hanna said "What good will that do?" she asked not understanding.
"Jason knows that none of us could have killed her, he can talk to the police and try to get them off our case" She answered walking back to Mona.
(Later; Spencer & Bridget running)
Spencer and Bridget went on their run together, both of them blasting their own music like they always do until they turned a corner and saw Jenna. They both then stopped and watched as she typed on a pad thing and then told it too send her message. Spencer looked over at Bridget with wide eyes, and both of them went back to Spencer's.
(That night; Bridget)
Bridget looked at all the envelopes that contained letters in all of them. They consisted of personal letters Jason wrote her after he moved away. She had counted at least 10 different letters from him. Bridget still hadn't read them but was planning on it until someone knocked on the door.
"Hold on a second!" Bridget called to them. While she shoved the letters under her bed. "Alright you can come in" she said.
Seconds later the door opened and Hanna walked in "Hey, What are you doing?" she asked.
"If I tell you, you can't tell anyone especially Noel. Alright?!" Bridget told her sister.
Hanna looked at her sister confused "I won't tell anybody, what's up?" she asked.
Bridget then proceeded to tell Hanna what she found and how she took them but hasn't had time to read them. "Honestly Han, I don't even know if I want to read them" she told her sister.
Hanna replied "Noel's a douche if he took them from here and read them and never told you about it. He definitely must feel threatened by Jason. He didn't have the right to take them and not let you know. In my opinion you should read them you don't know what was in them." Hanna said trying to help her sister. "You never told us why you broke up with him…" She reminded her older sister.
"He was getting worse and worse with his drugs and his alcohol and I tried to get him to either slow down a little or stop and become sober but he just kept taking his anger out on me and I finally just had enough of being yelled at almost every day. I even got scared to the point he was going to hurt my physically and I didn't want that" Bridget told her sister.
"I don't think Jason could even have it his heart to hit you. He would have been so upset with himself. The love he had for you was something I had never seen before" Hanna said. "Do you still love him?"
"I don't think there's a time that I won't love him. I know this is going to sound bad but nobody will ever compare to him. Yeah I will admit I think I love him more than Noel… but I really do care for Noel, I just don't think I care about him like that anymore" Bridget sighed.
"You really should meet up with Jason and talk with him" Hanna said.
They both got up and went downstairs for dinner. Bridget thinking the whole time on what she was going to do.
