💃Sunday-Epilogue💃
Another eventful Rosewood homecoming had come and gone winners had been crowned and losers ended up in a body bag. A shock had reverberated through the crowd when the realized what had been going on while they had danced and laughed with their class mates, friends and/or significant other. They didn't know the whole truth because honestly, they didn't know if Naomi was acting alone or if there was someone else lurking just beyond the shadows out of their reach.
Sirens could be heard as Jason held a still shaking Aria in his arms. The ambulance had arrived moments before the police and Principal Taggard tried to direct them to the dead girl, but Jason stopped them telling them that Toby was upstairs and when he had left him he was still alive. Principal Taggard led them to the classroom. And before he left the police were running up the steps to get the other three girls.
Naomi had come in third for junior maid and student also remembered that Alison had dumped Naomi and Riley for Hanna and the other three girls. It was believed that bitter with jealousy Naomi had planned to avenge herself on Hanna and she had come after Aria because she had avoided capture and had planned to alert the authorities. The bucket of pig's blood that had been set in the rafters over where Hanna would stand led credence to this belief. Naomi's parents were devastated having no clue their daughter was capable of such things. Hanna told them she had missed the cue because of female troubled and had been lured upstairs because she had received a threatening message about Emily and Toby and that Spencer and Aria had gone with her. When she and Spencer had gotten locked into the closet after Aria got separated from them the police
The chaperones and faculty members who had been on hand all felt guilty, Especially Ezra and Ella, Aria had been in danger and they hadn't even known it, if it hadn't been for Jason, who had decided to check on the classrooms to make sure students weren't getting into trouble, Toby Cavanaugh would have probably died and Ella might have lost her daughter.
There would be some questions as to why 911 dispatch had dismissed Aria's call to help Toby as prank. But Ella, was grateful that Jason had been quick thinking and there to help both Toby and Aria, she was just sorry that he had been unable to help Naomi as well, feeling sympathy for the parents who would have to bury their daughter. No one had realized how sick she was. She had gone through a lot to get even with Hanna including poisoning people at the game yesterday, This morning it had been found out that the chaperones and the homecoming queen hadn't suffered food poisoning there food had been probably been tampered with and Naomi had uncharacteristically volunteered to work the concession stand for the homecoming game and the victims all remembered she had been the one to wait on them. It was believed she wanted to reduce the number of chaperones to be able to carry out her plan to humiliate Hanna and it was found out that She and last year's homecoming queen had and altercation the previous year over a guy. For Rosewood P.D. it tied everything in a nice neat bow and much to his displeasure Wilden was forced to add the dead girl to his short list of suspects in Alison DiLaurentis' murder
Emily
Emily was still at the hospital with Toby, he was still in critical shape, after losing a lot of blood. Naomi had missed vital veins and arteries, or else he would have not made it after dispatch canceled the first call thinking it was a teenager playing a prank. The prognosis looked good Wren had told his father who allowed the distraught girl to stay with his son. She sat with him through out that night and Sunday until he came to Sunday evening. He tried to talk but she stopped him. Telling him everything that happened.
Tears were in her eyes when she realized how close he had come to dying. Emily fields leaned over and finally kissed Toby Cavanaugh and even though it wasn't passionate because of the circumstances she felt butterflies and so did he. She was still confused, but she wasn't on edge now because Toby had told her she should decide what her heart wanted and looking at him she thought she knew her heart wanted. When she started to cry again Toby held a weak arm up and Emily lay her head against his chest, even though he was the one who had been hurt he was trying to comfort her. Little did they know they were being watched by a pair of angry dark green eyes hidden by dark glasses.
Hanna
After Hanna had been found locked up in the closet Sean had forgiven her for disappearing believing that she had been feeling unwell and them attacked. She sat holding the tiny tiara that could be bought at Claire's for like ten bucks or do and wondered why this was so important to so many girls. Most girls dreamed of being a princess when they are little. Was if a fulfillment of some childhood fantasy? Was something deeper, acceptance, respect, being noticed or being special? Was it be remembered? She did know now, but it was probably a combination of all those things especially for the girl who had not always been on top, her had to world and strive for any or all those things, for the girls that weren't idolized as Alison had been.
Something that had seemed so important before last night meant nothing to her now. Their version of the story to protect themselves, the ones they loved, to protect A if there were still an A hadn't been a complete lie, she had been jealous over winning something so unimportant as junior maid something no one remembered as soon as they walked through the Rosewood doors diploma in hand.
Maybe Naomi had wanted the same things that Hanna and almost every other girl that weren't the Alison's of the world craved. She had accomplished a part of her goal if being remembered was her goal. She would be remembered as the girl who had almost killed Toby, kidnapped Emily, and tried to kill Aria and only to accidently killed herself after all for a cheap tiara and a title no one would remember Hanna had won in a few short years, but Naomi they would remember and some would see her as tragic others would see her as a joke and for most she would be a curiosity.
Hanna put the Tiara on and she looked into the mirror and her mind went back to ninth grade homecoming, before Alison had disappeared, before her body had been found, before A. Alison won Freshman Maid, she hadn't even voted she didn't even act as if she cared one way or another, her cruelty didn't mattered everyone voted for her, it had almost been unanimous the other nominees combined didn't have as many votes as Ali she had went to the dance with a senior who was voted homecoming king, he had dumped his girlfriend the girl that was voted queen for Alison. Hanna remembered the homecoming queen almost in tears as she was crowned and after a perfunctory dance her king took his new girlfriend, Alison in his arms as if she were made of the most delicate porcelain, while the other girl looked on heartbroken.
She dumped him the following week laughing as she told the girls, that no one would remember that she was the freshman maid by the end of the next week, but they would remember that she had the most popular girl's boyfriend and they had and shortly thereafter Alison even though only a freshman had become the Rosewood It Girl and everyone knew it. Hanna can still remember sitting at Alison's dresser the day after homecoming looking longingly at the cheap tiara handed out to the under classmen not that the one the homecoming queen received was the crown jewels by any standards and thinking, if only she could win one of those, it would mean she was special. Alison had seen her looking at it and laughed and cruelly told Hanna not to wish for something that wouldn't happen, but it had, however Hanna had to wonder, would she have won if Alison was still around?
Spencer
Spencer was in her room, Wren was still on rotations, but she had seen him briefly when she went with Aria and Hanna to check on Emily. It had been hard to act like nothing was going on between them, and she had been pleasantly delighted when she had been pulled into a storage room and kissed until she was breathless and already she longed to be in his arms. She could hear Melissa giggling as Ian chased her around downstairs threatening to kiss her and her acting as if she didn't want it. The whole thing was nauseating, but at least Melissa was Happy.
But, Spencer now had to wonder if Ian was in fact connected to Alison's murder. Had she been wrong about Toby all along, Emily and Aria both seemed to think so and even Hanna was waffling, but there was the information in his file that kept him from being beyond suspicion. But she now also had a new suspect, none other than Jason DiLaurentis. Her mind grasping how conveniently he just happened to be in town and at the school when this all happened. He had known Naomi from the days she and Ali were still friends, had they killed Alison, maybe Jason was secretly dating Naomi, it wouldn't be farfetched to think an older brother could fall for a younger sister's friends he had always been creepy. And there was no way Naomi could have done everything by herself unless she was superwoman especially carrying Emily up two flights of steps on her own. Emily was all lean muscle outweighing the pencil thin Naomi by at least fifty pounds.
Spencer may be reaching, but they had her reasons that had less to do with wanting her sister to marry a murder than the girls knew. Jason DiLaurentis wasn't the only one who had trouble remembering things from that summer or from that night. That summer was a blur for Spencer as well. In her desperation to be the best at everything and to best Melissa even just once she started using study aids in the stimulant variety and thing quickly spiraled out of control and she had a blurry memory of following a flash of yellow with a shovel and arguing with someone.
She was desperate to prove that she had not been responsible for Alison's death even as they group was already falling apart, Alison was leaving them behind hanging out with people she would not introduce them to and this was affecting the group as a whole. Spencer need to prove to herself that in her desperation to get from beneath Alison's shadow and to be her own person for when the inevitable happened and Aliso became bored with them and dump them as she had Naomi and Riley for them. Spencer's spine stiffened in resolve, she would get to the bottom of this if it was the last thing she did. She just hoped when she did find herself at the bottom.
Aria
Aria lean back against Jason's chest the warm water and bubbles soothing muscles that still ached after last night.
Aria closed her eyes and allowed herself to relax against her Jason, they were still unofficial and it was still a secret after everything that happened they decided it would be best to let everything calm down before he talked to Byron and Ells about Aria. A grin lifted the corner of her mouth as his hands began kneading and caressing her breast and nipples until they were hard points. Her weight gain didn't seem to bother him at all.
She tilted her head to the side giving him better access as he trailed hot kisses down the side of her neck, moaning as one of his hand trailed sown her body cupping her in his hand as he whispered his need for her in her ear before biting down on a lobe. She squirmed, her fuller bottom grinding against his growing arousal.
"Mmm Aria you are going to have to stop moving like that." He whispered in her ear.
Aria closed her eyes writhing her hips against him again, "Why?"
Jason couldn't answer he was gritting his teeth as she continues moving against him in torturous slowness. He picked her up and turned her around and situated her across his stomach to keep her grinding ass away from his throbbing cock aching to be inside her. She pouted in disappointment until he pulled a pebbled nipple into his mouth and sucked it deep into his mouth. "Jason!" Her hand slapped against the tub walls for balance raising herself some to give him better access and to be see watch him, she didn't know what it was but there was something extremely hot about watching him do this, her stomach tightening as he cupped each breach squeezing them together as he let go of the nipple he had been sucking his to explore the valley between her breast then taking the other nipple in biting down on it until she cried out in pained pleasure.
He whispered her name as he kissed a path below her breast continuing down her wet torso, Aria lifted herself more cling as best she could to the shower wall as for purchase he was half laying half sitting underneath her his arms under her thighs to support her when she looked down and she thought she was going to die a wave a lust hit so hard and then his eyes catching hers he placed his mouth over her pussy drenched from the warm water she had seen sitting in and pure arousal for the man now exploring her with his entire mouth.
Whimpering sound left her throat when his tongue found her clit licking it his tongue feeling like wet velvet moving against the bundle of nerves before sucking on it the tip of his tongue caressing, He had to hold onto her tighter as she helplessly began moving against his mouth being his for who knows what her words unintelligible when his tongues moved deeper inside finding a spot that had her crying out hitting it over and over as he thrust his tongues against it his grip tightened on her when he self her spine seconds before she called his name her orgasm filling his mouth. she was cradled against his chest when she came back to her senses he slid her off his lap and stands to his full height the water sliding of his beautiful body. She watches mesmerized as water and what was left of the bubbles sliding down his muscled abdomen, taught hips thighs and calves his cock hard and ready. Aria reached for him licking her lips wanting to take the swollen purple head deep into her mouth she moved to sit on her knees, but Jason stopped her. "Next time baby."
He stepped out of the tub and helps her to her feet only to pick her up and carry her to the bed. Jason crawled onto the bed kissing her deeply his hands caressing her, teasing her. "Jason now, I need you now."
He reached onto the nightstand and pulls a packet from the huge box that Aria had teased him about earlier, she had picked them up and arched a brow "Wow it looks like someone was really sure himself." Laughingly he told her he had no plans on getting caught without again. "Geeze Jason, I don't think we could use this many in a week."
He bent looking her in the eyes, "You want to bet." The way he said it made her a little breathless and then she happened to notice a few were missing she gave him a questioning look. "Like I said I was not getting caught without them again." Aria started laughing when he picked up his wallet opening it to reveal four foil wrappers.
She teased him that her was supposed to be her chaperone to make sure she didn't have sex at the school dance not be prepared to have sex with her at the school dance. "Scandalous." She said shaking her head. "You are a bad influence Mr. DiLaurentis." Through all the teasing she was glad he cared enough to protect her even when she wasn't thinking clearly. She was crazy about Jason and thought somehow, she had found the one and hoped to have his babies one day, but mot while she was in high school, and Jason felt the same as Aria, she believed she was it for him and hoped one day to watch his babies grow inside her and raise them together, but once she was finished with high school and college not now.
Jason ripped open the packet and rolled the condom on his hand moving to her thighs and crawled between them he was poised ready to enter "Oh Jason hurry I ne…" Grrrooowwwllll. Her face flamed in embarrassment when her stomach growled. Loud. She had been ignoring the feelings of hunger not wanting to waste even a moment with him eating. Jason laughed "Well I guess I need to feed you?" he chuckled again cradling her bright red face, kissing her nose.
Later after a couple double cheeseburger fresh fries, a large strawberry shake and two apple pies, Jason had a chicken Caesar salad and water as he watched her scarf her food like she was starving to death Jason again wondered when she had started eating meat, he had to stop to get them food last time and she hadn't wanted any meat and told him she was thinking about going vegan. For a moment, he wondered if he had gotten her pregnant, but he pushed the thought away they had used protection every time, even at their school that day he had gotten a couple from the nurse's office.
Jason and Aria lay together not want to want to let go, but all to soon he was going to have to pack his car and head back for college. As it was he would be up all-night finishing homework assignments due tomorrow, but it was hard letting her go. Knowing it would probably be a couple weeks before he could make it home to her. For now, they were going to have to make this work, he told her they needed to talk to her parents as soon as possible, not having to hide their relationship would make it easier for them to be together. Aria nodded and agreed with him they would have to tell her parents and the girls soon even though she was dreading Spencer's reaction Emily had been understanding because of Toby. Aria laid her heard against his chest to listen to the steady beat of his heart, relaxing her and in turn the tiny life growing inside.
A
On the outskirts of town in a lonely motel far from civilization smashing could be heard. A person in all black was furious, that stupid Bitch had almost messed everything up. The phone was hacked and except for texts to the liars all the phone communications had been deleted. There was now no evidence that she had not been working alone and this still gave A an element of surprise, even the liars didn't know, but it had been to close.
A now turned to the dark-haired man who was being held partially responsible for Naomi's reaction. "She told me it was your new orders because the pig's blood thing didn't work out, how was I supposed to know she went rogue because of her obsession with DiLaurentis" A told him he was not even to scratch his ass from now on unless he had direct approval again.
A rubbed throbbing temples with the black gloved fingers Naomi had always been a risk, she had been obsessed ant last night hadn't been the first time she had went rogue when she contacted Jason threatening to expose Aria. A had been angry, but had been able to fix it and use it to their advantage, the only downfall, Jason knew, he wasn't dumb and would probably suspect that Naomi had not been acting alone.
It would take a few days to regroup, but A would go into the shadows and soon emerge better than ever, the liars better enjoy the short breather because they would need it before it was over.
Alison
A couple towns over a dark-haired girl in a red coat reads about the Homecoming Horror, as it was being called, in Rosewood the newspaper as she drank a cup of coffee. Her hands are shaking a little as she reads about the girl so obsessed wondering if maybe, just maybe it was safe for her to go home again.
Notes: Well this concludes I See an A in Your Future. Hopefully you enjoyed it once again thanks to Sarasong 101 as well as heathersun for encouraging me with feedback, it really is much very much appreciated.
I am already working on what will be a one-shot follow up that will be found in Reimagined (Ezria to Jaria rewrites that all tie in together. This story and Look What the Storm Drug In were supposed to be one shot rewrites for Reimagined that sort of spiraled out of control) if you have rewrite suggestions that would be great.
It needs work but I hope it helped wrap up loose ends and helps answer some questions.
Thanks for reading
