Is 7:30 am, Ashley was sitting in the kitchen, she had a distant and dark look. She couldn't sleep, she only could think about what had happened between her and Jason.
As much as she wanted to ward off Jason of her thoughts, she can't, is something stronger than her. She had a hurt leg, but the only place it hurt her was the face, it was so humiliating lead a slap of a guy old enough to be her son.
All that Ashley wanted to feel about Jason was hate, but she couldn't. She just felt compassion.
"Mom, can you hear me?" - asks Hanna, after she had already spoken so much
Sorry Hanna, I was thinking in another subject. What did you say? "- asks Ashley looking at her daughter who is preparing the breakfast
"Alison invited me and the girls to spend the weekend in her house. Can I go?" - asks Hanna to is mom, but Ashley continues with a faraway look
"Not this time Hanna, sorry" – she replied immediately
"Why mom? It's still because of Jason? I thought this issue was already resolved" - said Hanna calmly
"This issue is more than solved "- said Ashley in elevated tone, while Hanna realizes something is wrong with her mom
"Alison needs me, she is still going through a difficult phase ... Please mom" - Hana asks her mother with a face cutesy
"Okay, you can go" - when Hanna hear the response of her mother, she gives her a strong hug
"Thanks mom, you're so sweet! You know I'm here for you too "- said Hanna grabbing in her bag to go to school
Ashley hears your mobile phone to ring, and thinks it's Ted, but when she looks at the screen sees the name of Jason writing. She ignores his call.
Jason had returned to his room, after Alison has left for school. He is aware that he had come too far with Ashley, hit her was a very bad situation. He is sorry and knows that Ashley is upset, and probably she doesn't want to talk to him or see him.
He decides to take the day off. He needs relax and put the ideas in place.
At school
"My mom let me stay at your house this weekend" – says Emily to Alison
"Mine too" – says Hanna
"And you Aria, you will lose an opportunity to be close to my brother?" - asks Alison to Aria with a teasing smile
"Stop, Alison! But yes, I will, just for you "- responds Aria blushing
Hanna feels that she is the fool all the people. She is the only one who knows that Jason slept with her mother. She even didn't tell her best friends, one being his sister and another like him. She couldn't feel guiltier.
Ashley was reaching the coffee shop, when she saw Ted sitting on the terrace drinking his black tea without sugar, as he drinks every morning. As soon as he noticed the Ashley down the street, he smiled ate her and waved.
"Good morning" - said Ashley, and she kissed him
"Good morning. I didn't know you were coming. I'll have a meeting in the church now" - said Ted sorry for can't stay any longer
"I go to an interview. Okay, we can meet later. Don't want you to be late "- Ashley smiled at him, but she thought to herself that lately she only lied that innocent man
"Okay" - Ted said goodbye to her and went away
Ashley had no interview. She took her bath, dressed and left the house. She walked to wander the streets until it stopped in front of the Jason's office, and saw that it was closed.
Deep down, she knew she had to walk there because she wanted to. She wanted to see him. She wanted to tell him that he had no right to hit her.
Ashley was determined to see him. When she left the cafe, went to his house, grabbed his car keys and drove to the DiLaurentis's house.
When Ashley arrived, he was long a stalled car, with its distant thoughts... When she sees the housekeeper of DiLaurentis out of the house, she decides that it was time to face him.
She out of the car, takes a deep breath, and rings the bell. Still takes a while until someone opens the door, until the Ashley sees the door open slowly, behind the door is Jason who had just bathing, he was towel and had water dripping down his hair, she is perplexed...
"Ashley! What a surprise ... Come in, please "- said Jason with a surprised air
