Aria turned the corner as the light turned Green and continued down the road. In five minutes, she would be home. She turned the radio on and turned it to her favorite station. She listened as the commercial ended and the announcer started talking. "Hello and thank you for choosing 93.1 FM tonight for your listening pleasure. From the request line, this one goes out to Aria." Aria's eyes grew wide as she looked towards the radio. The announcer continued "From her best friend A, here you go Aria, Happiness."
Aria sat there her mouth gaping open as "Happiness" by The Fray, their song, poured from her speakers and filled her car. Her vision started to get cloudy as tears began to fill her eyes, she was reaching to turn it off when all of a sudden the blaring of a car horn startled her, she looked up and the white lights from a car's headlights directly in front of her illuminated the rain drop covered windshield. Aria finally realizing that she had driven into the oncoming traffic lane attempted to swerve out of the way.
Aria's tires began to slide make a screeching sound as she slid off the road and into the slightly wooded area. Aria attempted to brake, but the car kept going against all protest, even the Emergency Brake being pulled. The car was sliding through mud and finally stopped once it hit a tree. The airbag deployed and Aria's head was slammed back into her headrest, dazing her for a minute. Combined with the blow to an already sensitive spot on her head from Ezra's coffee table, she blacked out.
Aria awoke just as the song was finishing a minute later and looked around at the damage to her car, her vision was blurred as if everything was bathed in a yellow haze, and the windows were fogged up the smell of gas invading her nose. There really wasn't much damage except for her Airbag coming out of the steering wheel, and the relatively small dent to the front of her car, which was surprising considering how hard she hit the tree.
Aria sat back in her seat, and began to wipe the tears from her eyes; she cupped her face in frustration. All of a sudden Aria heard a knock on the window, she looked to her left startled, and what she saw made a chill run up her spine. A dark hooded figure stood there outside her window. She began to scream, which Aria heard as an echo, and tried to get away from the window, her movements sluggish and heavy. The person wrenched open the door and reached a gloved hand in, grabbing Aria's ankle as she was trying to climb into the back seat and get away.
The figure pulled Aria by her Ankle and pinned her back down to the driver's seat, Aria kept screaming. "HELP SOMEONE!" Aria yelled, kicking her feet everywhere with no precision. A voice behind the original figure spoke.
"Nice heels and cute dress! Looks like you finally learned some style; I must have rubbed off on you." Aria stopped struggling recognizing the voice instantly her eyes growing wide and her eyebrows furrowed.
"Alison?" Aria said in shock. Alison popped up behind the figure.
"Hello my darling! Did you miss me?" Alison said with a smirk, as if the figure wasn't even there and Aria wasn't being pinned to the front seat of her car by some creep.
"What the hell is going on here! Who the hell is this?" Aria said her voice a half whisper.
"Well I have no idea who this is." Alison said as she pointed towards the figure, who seemed to be frozen in place, with a perfectly manicured finger. "But I need to tell you something."
"What could you possibly need to tell me? Aren't you supposed to be dead or something?" Aria snubbed clearly confused and beginning to find it more and more difficult to breathe.
"Yeah, I heard that too but that's a long story sweetie; it's complicated, really complicated. But more importantly I came to tell you, not everyone in Rosewood is who they seem. Be careful my darling and spread the word to the others", Before Aria could ask what she meant; Alison leaned down and kissed Aria on the forehead. "Be careful" She whispered as she rubbed the lipstick mark off of Aria's forehead and ran off into the darkness giggling, the figure releasing Aria, slammed the door shut and running off as well.
Aria bolted up from the head rest with a gasp. The sound of the door slamming still ringing through her head as she looked around and realized that she had just woken up from a dream. The last few seconds of "Happiness" rang out of the stereo and the announcer came back on to introduce the next song. Aria looked at the time on her dashboard and realized she was only out for a couple minutes. She was in the same position she had been driving in, everything looked like normal and nothing had changed within the car. "Jeez that dream felt like a lot longer than three minutes. And so real…" Aria said her voice sounded like a gasp.
Aria looked up into the rear view mirror at herself, she was a mess. She had mascara running down her face, and her hair was everywhere. "This is just the worse day ever." Aria mumbled to herself as she grabbed a tissue from her purse and began to clean up her eyes. She noticed something on her forehead and looked closer. What she saw sent a chill down a spine. A faint red smudge was on her forehead. "Is that...JUNGLE RED?" Aria said in shock, just then there was a knock on the window interrupting her thoughts. Without even looking Aria tried to scream and looked up to see none other than Jason DiLaurentis standing there.
"Aria it's me! Are you okay?" Jason said peering inside the car. Aria weakly pulled at the lock and tried to push open the car door with no success. Aria felt drowsy and felt the energy from her body draining slowly. Jason realizing what was happening to Aria pulled open the door. A fog which Aria hadn't noticed filling the car before flowed outside and Aria inhaled the fresh air sharply and began to cough.
"Yes I think so! What are you doing here?" She questioned still coughing, wanting to know why Jason DiLaurentis was just creeping around in the woods. She looked toward his hand and saw the crowbar he was holding with wide eyes. The last time she had seen Jason DiLaurentis was when she and her friends were on lockdown and had one of their meetups in that creepy greenhouse, on their way to their respective homes they spotted Jason walking around his front yard with a flashlight, he began telling them about he wanted to build a privacy fence. Aria dismissed it as just him being creepy.
"I was driving a mile behind you when I saw your car go off the road; I sped up and followed you in to the woods to see if whoever was here was alright, since I didn't see anyone else go after you. I ran up and recognized it was you, lying in the car unconscious. I saw the car was filling up with Carbon Monoxide fumes, and I went back to my car to get my emergency crowbar, to get you out and when I came back you were awake."
"Thank you Jason that's very Sweet. I don't know what happened, one minute I was driving and the next I woke up and my car was in a tree." Aria lied still trying to catch her breath; she didn't want to talk about what had really happened with the whole Ezra thing.
Jason eyed her skeptically, "Well you seem fine, lucky I got here when I did a couple more minutes in there and you might have died from Carbon Monoxide poisoning. But that's a really nasty bump." Jason said pointing toward the bump on Aria's head, "Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" He asked concerned.
"Jason that's very sweet but I don't think I need to go to the hospital. I'm fine."
Jason noticed Aria was soaking wet. Her eyes were puffy and slightly bloodshot like she had been crying. "Alright then. Are you sure everything's alright you look like you've been crying? I really think we should get a doctor to-"
Aria cut Jason off. "Yeah I'm fine I think I just broke up with my boyfriend. But I'm not sure; it's a whole big thing."
"Aria, I know breakups can be difficult, but I really hope you weren't trying to harm yourself..."
Aria looked up at Jason with wide eyes. "NO Jason that's not what happened I promise! I would never do something like that! I was just distracted by the whole thing and didn't realize I was drifting into the oncoming lane."
Jason didn't want to pry so he decided to change the subject, "Alright, So what do you plan on doing with the car?" He asked.
Aria couldn't help but find him very sweet for caring so much about her. She honestly was grateful that something today was going her way. "I honestly don't know. I've never been in this situation before…" Aria said about to tear up again. "My parents are going to KILL me!"
Jason leaned into the car as he spoke "Aww cheer up it'll be okay" he said soothingly rubbing her arms. "Would it make things better if I explained to them what I saw happen"
"I think so, but I don't want to inconvenience you with my problems."
"No don't think that way. It's no problem at all, I'd be happy to help." Jason said with a smirk.
Aria tried getting out but her knees wobbled and she almost collapsed. Jason caught her before she could fall.
"Woops! I must be a little shaken up from everything that's happened and all those Carbon Monoxide fumes!" she said leaning towards Jason's chest. She stood up properly and straightened herself out. Jason pulled out his wallet, and produced a little card. "What are you doing?" Aria inquired as he whipped out his phone and began to call the number on the card.
"Oh I'm just calling Triple A, they'll be here in no time and they'll tow your car back to your house for you. In the mean time can I offer you a ride home?" he said with a smirk. Aria couldn't help herself she threw her arms around Jason's toned body and gave him a hug inhaling his sexy cologné.
"Thank you so much Jason it means a lot you won't believe the day I've had!"
"It's no problem Aria really" He said as he returned the hug squeezing her with his strong arms. Jason released Aria and began to call the Towing company.
Aria checked her phone and saw two missed calls from Hanna. She excused herself from Jason, who was on the phone with the towing company, and walked a few feet away to make the call. The phone rang a few times and finally Hanna answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey Han." Aria replied.
"Hey girl! So how was your night with Ezra? Did he give you detention for being a naughty student?" Hanna Joked. Aria felt the tears start up at the mention of his name.
"Not exactly…" Aria trailed off and sniffled.
Hanna immediately recognized the 'Aria's been or is about to cry voice' "Uh-oh I can sense something's wrong." Hanna asked hoping to console her friend and help her through whatever was happening.
"Nothing I'll explain later, can you come over, and bring Spencer and Emily? You guys can sleep over if you want. I just need my friends tonight."
"Oh that bad huh? No worries, Girls Night sleepover tonight! I'm on it."
"God that's just what I need Han, thanks! I'll be home in about an hour is that okay?"
"That's perfect hun, leave the rest to me, I'll call Spencer and Emily. I'll see you later feel better!"
"Thanks Han see you soon"
Aria managed to pull herself together and walked back to where Jason was to wait for the Tow Truck to get there. He had hung up the phone with Triple A and was playing some game on his phone, looking up, he put his iPhone away, and smiled at her when she walked back towards him. Aria couldn't help but smile back, she didn't know why she was smiling especially after the day she had, but she was.
A/N: I'm not entirely pleased with this chapter, I may rewrite it eventually but I don't know. Thank you guys for reading! PLEASE REVIEW. "I'M LIKE TINKERBELL [READERS], I NEED [REVIEWS] TO LIVE! A little Rachel Berry reference there haha. Anyway reviews help me make the story better, and update quicker so don't be afraid! I reallyyy need feedback and reviews this is my first Pretty Little Liars Fanfic after all, any criticism welcome but please don't be brutal, any suggestions for further chapters welcome as well. Please, if you notice any mistakes I need to fix mention them to me so I can fix them.
ALSO I'd just like to clarify something. With the whole Aria seeing Ali thing, It was supposed to be like the time Hanna saw Ali in the hospital, something similar to that, because Aria was half blacked out and also half hallucinating from the Fumes filling her car. In case anybody needed clarification :)
