I got back to Aria's house, My nerves were on edge. I don't think I can lie to her anymore, I don't want to lie to her anymore. It was lying that got me into this mess and eventually, I have to clean it up. I have a baby on the way, That changes everything. Being with Aria made me realize how much I wanted to give up, How much was worth giving up to be with her and now here I am pulled back in again. I never thought to stop and think about the consequences before I came to Rosewood. At the time there was no consequences only pro's, I didn't really know Aria and I only knew a brief description of her. To me at the time they were just high school kids who lost there way when there best friend disappeared.. Then it became much more then that. I guess the saying is true you reap what you sow.

I walked into Aria's house, Knowing it was only her home. ''Finally.'' Aria said relieved as she rushed to my side. ''Sorry I took so long..'' I started, Aria stopped me as she wrapped her arms around my waist ''It's fine, Ezra.'' She reassured me. But it wasn't fine, She hadn't a clue what was going on and it was killing me inside. ''So, How's Wes?'' Aria questioned worried, I furrowed my brows - She almost caught me in my own lie. ''Oh yeah, He's fine. He just uh, Is having some problems with my mom.'' I lied once again, Digging my grave deeper. ''That's not a surprise.'' Aria laughed, I smiled down at her; She was the most beautiful and perfect thing to walk into my life, I don't want to see her walk away. ''So.. What have you been up to?'' I asked her quickly, Changing the subject at hand.
Aria walked over to the couch and paused the movie that was playing on her flat screen ''Was just watching 'Rebecca' '' Aria told me,

It was on the list of the movies that her and I had watched a handful of times. About a woman who meets a widower, Falling in love with him instantly. The house keeper is un-impressed, Liking the first wife better. After the house keeper deceives the second wife into wearing the first wives dress, The widower tells her to jump to her death. Which she nearly does. All the while discovering the body of the first wife in the midst of all of it of which the widower actually made Rebecca (the first wife) Fall to her death.
''Don't you ever get sick of that movie?'' I questioned Aria, We had to have watched it over a dozen times. Aria shook her head as her pony tale shook with ''No, I think the more I watch it.. The more intrigued I am.'' She told me, A slight mystery to her tone. I nodded my head with a small smile.

Aria had fallen asleep rather early, I sat there as I played with her dark chestnut hair; Not wanting to leave her side. I sighed to myself, Picking up my phone off the night stand and texting Jason ''She's asleep, I'll be there in half an hour.'' I texted him, Climbing out of bed slowly - Making sure not to wake her.

I slid on my pants and threw my shirt on over my head, I looked back at Aria as she slept still and peaceful. Aria was in her most blissful state, When she was asleep she didn't have to worry about what was going wrong or all the problems going on in her life and most of all she didn't have to worry about -A. Those moments when she was asleep nearly broke my heart, She didn't deserve the life she was handed but I knew that she would be okay; She is always okay.

I made my way down the stairs slowly, Each stair creaked in a specific spot so trying to dodge them was nearly impossible. I finally got to the bottom of the stairs and breathed a breath of relief, Startling myself as the floor creaked under me. I rolled my eyes and listened carefully, Waiting to hear little footsteps on the second floor. I could hear Aria's breathing, Still sound asleep; Thank god.

Picking up my car keys that sat on the living room coffee table, I stopped and thought for a moment. I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen 'Aria - I went out for an evening drive to clear my head. Go back to sleep, I'll be there soon. Love Ezra' I wrote within the blue lines, Setting the note down on the coffee table and walking to the door.

I sat in my car as I pinched the bridge of my nose, Starting the ignition and driving off to the cursed location. I hated the liar more then anything in this world, After Aria trashed my apartment and after I got Jason to move the lair in the cabin.. I hadn't really been there. We re-located to somewhere very obvious but not to obvious, It wouldn't take a genius to figure out where it was - especially with all the clues we left lying around. Now that Mrs. Dilaurentis is out of the way, It makes Jason and my own life a hell of a lot easier; In no way am I saying that I didn't like Mrs. Dilaurentis.. She was just biting off more then she could chew. I had known for a while that she had buried Alison, I spoke to Mrs. Grunwald and she nearly told me everything - All the while giving me the tapes she had. I had told her about my research and Alison confirmed it to for me, So that was easier then expected.

I drove up to the familiar house, The dark shadows of the night playing against the panes of glass as the light flicked on in the living room. I had always liked this house, Not only because I had been here numerous times but it was timelessly beautiful but also creepy at the same time. The burgundy red shingles were now crimson red under neath the moon light,

I knocked on the deep brown door, Stepping back as I waited for an answer.
The door opened slowly, As the noticeable jawline came into view. ''Holy crap, Take long enough?'' Jason complained. I rolled my eyes at him, Stepping inside as he shut the door. ''I kind of have responsibilities now, Jason.'' I was harsh, But it was true.
Jason shut the door behind me ''Everything is finally set up'' He informed me, After we moved the lair it had been quite hard to set it up again, Between finding all the right papers and pictures to setting up the computer. ''I don't care.'' I told him bluntly, I didn't want any part of this anymore.
''Well.. Follow me.'' He told me, Not hurt by my previous words.
I did just as so, I trailed behind him as we made our way into Jason's basement ''So what are you going to do with the house?'' I asked him, Clearly he couldn't pay for it on his own. Jason gave a carefree shrug of his shoulders, As he played with his light brown hair ''I don't know, Sell it I guess.'' Jason looked confused as he spoke, He new his mom had it coming but.. It was still his mom; Regardless of her previous actions.

Jason opened up a hidden door that laid behind two large filing cabinets within his basement, Revealing our revamped lair. It had been a better layout this time then what I had it like in Ravenswood. But the thing I liked the most about it, It looked like an ordinary room. It had a very neutral flowery wallpaper, With a single computer desk that had a laptop laying on top of it.
''Where is everything?'' I questioned Jason, Rather confused. Jason smiled back at me ''Watch this.'' He said with a grin as he pulled a hidden string that hung from the roof, Only very tall people would be able to reach it or even notice it. The contents of the wallpaper fell to the ground - Revealing all the pictures I had at Ravenswood.
The time lines were set up perfectly, The one for Alison, Aria, Hanna, Emily, Melissa, Toby, Wilden and every one else in Rosewood. ''How..'' I started confused, How was he able to do that.
''I'm sneaky.'' He spoke softly with a cheeky grin. I nodded, Noticing his effort.

I sat down in one of the fold out chairs that sat infront of the computer desk ''Okay, I've done a little digging. No, I do not have much but I did find this.'' Jason started, Curiosity peeking my interest.
Jason started to click around on the laptop, Swiftly brushing the keys as a video popped up. ''I'm warning you now, If you watch this.. A lot is going to change.'' Jason warned me, His eyes seemed soft as he looked at me; He was genuinely concerned. ''Well, I'm here. Might as well play it.'' I told him in all honesty. Jason hung his head slightly to the left and gave a small shrug of his shoulders, Clicking the play button in the process.

''Okay, Lay there and do not move. I will give you the signal when they are gone.'' A familiar voice spoke
''Okay, I know.. I got this. Trust me, No one can know I'm alive.'' Another familiar voice spoke,
The camera panned to a body that laid against a barn wall, A letter dangling in his hands.

I narrowed my eyes ''Is that..'' I started slowly, Now well aware of what I was getting myself into.
''Yeah, That's Ian.'' Jason revealed,
''He faked his death, He's still alive.'' I was in shock, I expected Alison to be alive but Ian? That I did not expect.
''Wait wait..'' I said, ''Pause it.'' I directed Jason as he did so.
I looked closely at the screen, Seeing a recognize able black hoodie
''Can you zoom in at alll?'' I asked him, Jason looked over at me then nodded;
A smug expression surrounding his face.
Jason zoomed in to the hooded person
''Who is that?'' I questioned confused, Not knowing the face what so ever.
They weren't wearing the usual -A attire.. They had the black hoodie on but they had on high heels which was pretty unusual for -A. At-least in my books it was.
Jason narrowed his eyes ''I.. Don't know.'' He was just as confused as I was.

Jason jumped a few frames ahead,
I pulled my head back ''There wearing a mask.'' I was beyond confused at this point. ''Yeah, Of my sisters face.'' Jason wasn't pleased, This was finally a lead and again it lead to a dead end.
''Where did you find this?'' I questioned him on the video ''I found one of Ian's old memory cards, Apparently who ever filmed this - Wasn't smart enough to erase it.'' Jason told me, I thought for a moment.

''Unless they left it there on purpose, -A wouldn't just leave crucial information lying around.'' I was stumped, I knew -A could have a team but I never even thought to consider the possibility of another team. ''Or they are an amateur.'' Jason revealed, His tone was happy as he spoke. This did point us in another direction, Though we didn't get much out of it - It still helped knowing that someone - some where was making errors.

''I got to get back, If she wakes up and I'm not there..'' I started as I stood up, Jason nodded his head left to right ''Yeah, Yeah. I know. I'll message you if I find out anything else.'' Jason said annoyed. I brushed it off as I walked out of the hidden room and started up the stairs.
