"Aria please open the door. We know you're in there" Spencer pleaded. The girls stood on Aria's front porch, waiting for their friend to open the door. That was, all the girls except Emily. After her and Alison's fight yesterday they were still weren't speaking. Emily felt it would be best to take some time away from being with Alison. It wasn't a break up, they just needed some time apart, they had been practically glued to each other's hips since Emily found out Ali was pregnant, plus, Emily had an early Saturday morning swim practice. Being the new coach at Rosewood was a huge accomplishment for her and she didn't want to let her students down. Aria knew Emily was there for her, even if she wasn't physically there.
The rest of the girls seemed to be doing better since A.D was "dead". Hanna and Caleb were happy. Spencer was recovering well and Toby was finally awake from his coma. The two had spent a lot of time talking about their injuries. Spencer also helped Toby mourn over the loss of Yvonne. Emily and Alison had been happy or at least they thought they were happy, until their argument, but Aria was depressed since Ezra left her for Nicole. The girls were always there to support each other through thick and thin, so Aria wasn't surprised when she heard them knocking on her door.
However, Jason was surprised. "Is that my sister?" He pulled back the curtains to see the group of girls standing on the porch. "Yeah, I think they're all down there."
"Why?"
"They're worried about me after the whole Ezra thing…" It was hard calling Jason up and telling him what happened with Ezra but she didn't know who else to call. He immediately came over to make sure she was alright and then things lead to the bedroom and now they were, naked in bed, with the girls waiting on the porch. "If you want to talk to them, I can sneak out the back…" Jason was always so sweet to her. She couldn't help but think she made a mistake going back to Ezra.
"No…please…stay." She would talk to the girls later.
"Let's just go, she clearly doesn't feel like talking right now and I'm starving" Hanna was getting aggravated. "Wait a second…is that Jason's car down the street?" Alison asked. Spencer looked over, "Yeah, that's his license plate.."
Alison glared at Spencer wondering why she knew Jason's license plate, but then just shook her head. "I didn't know he was home Ali" Spencer said. It sounded like an accusation of some kind, but Alison wasn't hiding anything. She really had no idea why Jason was in Rosewood either.
"That makes two of us" Ali replied. "I thought he was still in Philly." Alison was suddenly putting the pieces together as to why Aria wasn't answering the door. "Hanna's right Spence, maybe we should just go" The last thing Alison wanted was to walk in on one of her best friends and her brother making out, or even worse, having sex. Spencer didn't want to leave but followed her blonde friends as they walked down the stairs and left.
"Why are we leaving? What if she needs us?" Spencer wouldn't drop it.
"She's fine Spencer, if she wanted to talk to us she would have answered the door" Hanna said.
"Yeah, I'm sure she'll call us later" Alison said, not wanting to think anymore about Aria and Jason. The girls got in the car, and Spencer turned around to drive past Jason's car.
"He's not in the car" Spencer said.
"Yeah and the sky's still blue, thanks Spence" Alison laughed at Hanna's comment.
"What's so funny Ali?" Spencer asked.
"I'm just laughing at what Hanna said"
Hanna smiled "At least someone thinks I'm funny"
"You're acting weird today Alison, you're the last person to just leave something alone. You're not the least bit curious, or concerned about Aria?" Spencer was getting pissed.
"Of course I am. But there's no sense in us stalking her out, I don't know about you but I've had enough stalking for one lifetime." Alison retorted.
"Well, maybe after brunch we could try again" Spencer ended the conversation with that. Suddenly all of the girls phones rang. Hanna hit the breaks at the sound. The girls all looked at each other, no one moving to grab their phone. "You don't think" Spencer said.
"It can't be" Alison answered. The girls all reached down to see a group message between the three of them. It was a picture of Jason walking into Aria's house.
"Did you miss me?" It was sent from a blocked number, which only meant one thing.
"I thought we killed A.D!" Hanna yelled. If Noel wasn't A.D, then who was?
"Guys, Jenna is still out there. She's the only one left. It has to be her!" Spencer was racking her brain thinking of everyone she knew who could have sent this text. Her mind was going a mile a minute and she could not believe this was happening. Again. "I think I'm gonna be sick" Alison said, getting out of the car and running to a tree. Despite thinking of everyone who could be harassing them still, Spencer's mind focused on Ali. "Is it me or has Ali been sick a lot lately?"
"I don't know, I guess, I'm about ready to throw up too after that text. Do you really think Aria's like together with Jason?" Hanna was curious.
"I don't know.." Spencer didn't want to think of that either, Jason was her brother too. No wonder Ali was trying to change the subject earlier. Did she know about them? As the girls sat in the car and waited for Ali's return, Spencer couldn't help but remember that Alison avoided alcohol at their lunch the other day, and she was constantly puking. Spencer finally put two and two together and gasped. "What?" Hanna asked, startled by her friend.
"Uh, nothing sorry. I just remembered I left a candle on" She quickly tried to cover up. Hanna shook her head and watched as Ali reemerged from the bushes and walked towards the car.
"Sorry about that. This whole A.D thing is just making me sick" Alison said.
"It's okay, us too" Spencer said cautiously eyeing down Alison. She wasn't showing yet, but Spencer was 99% sure she just figured out Alison's secret.
