I just starred at the picture as I laid in my room not wanting to pack for Iceland. That night I decided to walk to his house unsure of what to expect. As I got to the dark house surrounded my flowers I just stood there and began to cry as I heard his voice in my head repeat I will never leave you. I walked into the yard looking up at the light coming from his room unsure of what to do. I then got a pebble and threw it up at the window not realizing what I was actually doing. I saw his blond hair coming so I hid behind a tree not wanting him to see him.

"Who's there," yelled Jason. I quickly looked up noticing his eyes were glazed over and decided to put up my black hood and run.

"Aria, Wait," Jason screamed. Before I knew it he was on his porch. I glanced at him and ran not wanting this fight to happen now. I could tell he began to run but seemed to stop as he and I heard a faint laugh coming from the distance.

The next morning, we left for Iceland. Nothing that interesting happened but A did leave me alone. Thank God!

We arrived back in Rosewood about a month later. As we arrived in town, Ali posters were hung up all over town. I felt died inside as I knew I wouldn't have Jason to comfort me anymore just as he had when they announced that Ali was either died or missing. My mom decided to talk to Mrs. Dilaurentis. She told me that they were doing the same as before we left but had hope that they could find Ali and everything would be alright. She also told me that Jason was in college and probably wouldn't be coming back anytime soon. During the time, I tried texting Jason but never received a text. At this time, I felt angry as well as sadness. The day before school, I took Mike to lacrosse and then headed to eatery. I didn't know what to do with myself, so I took my fake ID and began to drown my sorrows.

I started to talk to someone which I never do.

"Hey, I am Aria," I said buzzed.

"I'm Ezra"

"Nice to meet you," I smiled. We didn't say a word after that. I lead him into the bathroom and used my anger to make out with him passionately. Afterwards we went our separate ways.

The next day, I drove to school not wanting to be here, dreaming of going back on vacation. I quickly spotted Spencer and Emily.

"Hey guys" I said excitedly.

"Hey Aria, how was Iceland," asked Emily.

"Fine, it was nice to be away. How are you guys?" They both told me they were fine. Emily went to Swim Camp and Spencer to field hockey camp and London.

"So where is Hannah?" I asked curiously.

"Oh she is friends with Mona and Paige now. We haven't seen much of her or talked to her this summer. She has kind of blown us off." Spencer said annoyed.

The bell rang so we all headed to our class which happened to be with each other, thankfully. As I walked into class, I noticed the teacher was the guy I had made out with the day before, all I could think is this is pretty risqué. This sure would be a distraction from Jason. The teacher and I decided to secretly see each other.

That Saturday, the news came on and said that they had found Ali's remains behind the school. Why would it end up there? My thoughts began to wonder who would want Ali died. As I began to ponder the answer I received a text from my mom that we got an invitation to Ali's funeral.

The funeral was this Saturday. As I arrived, I looked for Jason. I didn't see him sadly. I sat next to Emily and Spencer.

"Can I sit with you guys?" Hannah asked sadly.

"Sure," I replied.

We all sat together holding hands thinking of the friend that had died too soon. There were many speeches but I didn't expect to see Jason give one. He looked into my eyes every time his voice cracked. I could tell her loved Alison even though they went through many rough patches. I began to cry very hard remember who he was. I quickly got up and ran out of the room. Hannah, Spencer and Emily got up and followed asking me what was wrong. I told them I just needed time. I quickly found the wine and drank it like there was no tomorrow.

Before I knew it Jason came behind me. Jason I said as I fainted…

Jason received the text: I told you not to get to close to her. What did you think I was joking? -A
