Fyi the characters are similar but different from their actual characters.
"Are your parents home?" Alison asked Aria as soon as Aria when they entered Aria's house. It was a dreadfully hot afternoon, so they went to get ice cream with the intention of eating ice cream and watching movies. The rest of their friends were busy with varies things the two didn't care, she and Alison would have fun regardless.
Aria shook her head, "Nope." Her parents should both be at work and Mike, her little brother, is at lacrosse practice. It's only 12, they should have at least 5 hours to themselves. Aria closed the door before walking straight into the kitchen to grab two spoons for them.
"Are you sure?" Alison asked again looking at the light green blouse thrown on the floor. Aria turned to look at Ali to see her what she was going on about. She stops when she sees she's a purse laying on the floor. Aria didn't recognize that purse or the blouse as being her moms and she was constantly going through her mom's closet.
"That's not my mom's." Aria moved to grab the unfamiliar coat tossed over the couch, "Or this." Dread seeped into her gut when Aria heard laughing upstairs. Something doesn't feel right about this, she just got off the phone with her mom and she didn't see any car parked in the driveway.
"Come on." Alison takes Aria's hand pulling her towards the stairs. As they slowly ascended the stairs, the laughter grew louder. They cautiously walked past both Aria's and Mike's bedrooms peaking inside both respectfully seeing them completely empty. The closer they reached Aria's parents' room the louder the sounds got. The sound of a women's giggle and soft moans.
Aria still being nervous stops, "Ali I can't do this, what if it just my parents? I'd be scarred for life."
"Does it feel like it's just your parents?" Alison instigated almost like she knew it wasn't. "Fine, I'll do it." Alison lets go of Aria's hand disappearing into Mike's room.
Aria questioned, "Ali." Ali returned with a bat, "What's that for?"
"Aria it could be anyone." Aria nodded because it could be although it didn't feel like it. Alison took lead walking them to the door. Alison didn't waste any time and slamming the door open scaring whoever was in the room.
Aria peeked inside seeing her dad and women scrambling to put on clothes. Aria instantly recognized the women, it was her father's teaching aid, Meredith something. Aria looked around seeing the clothes that littered the floor and the distinct smell of sex that filled her nostrils.
"Dad?!" Aria gasped, tears welled up in her eyes threatening to fall.
"Aria." Byron looked at his daughter guilty as all ever. Aria turns on her heels jetting it out of the room.
"Aria!"
"Aria!"
"Aria!" Aria snapped out of the memory seeing Holden Strauss standing in front of here looking concerned.
"Yeah."
Holden sighs, "I called you 5 times but you didn't hear me. Are you okay?" He sits down next to her.
"Yeah… yeah, I'm okay… yeah, I'm fine." Aria stuttered over her words. Aria looked around her, taking in the classroom. It was pretty empty only having Aria and Holden in it.
He looked at her skeptical but didn't push her on it and Aria was grateful for it.
Its been one year since that fateful night, the night Alison went missing and never came back. A few weeks after Ali disappeared Aria and her family moved to Iceland after her dad received a dream teaching position for a year.
"When did you get back?" Holden asked Aria. Aria and Holden have been friends since they were little, oftentimes having playdates together, their dads have been best friends since high school. "My dad mention you were coming back but never said when."
"We got back a couple days ago. We've just been laying low trying to unpack the house and my dad was insistent on spending family time." Aria explained with a soft smile.
"I'd say I'm surprised you're not surrounded by the posy but they aren't much of a posy anymore." Holden chuckled. Aria looked at him confused because she was sure that her friend group stayed together and only had fallen out with her.
"What do you mean?"
Holden's eyes widen with confession, "You don't know?" Aria raises her eyebrow, "They all fell out with each other not just you." Aria is surprised, she just always felt like her friends stayed together and just fell out with her but to hear that none of them were talking is strange.
Speaking of old friends, Spencer walks into class carrying way more books than needed for the class. Spencer glances up a little shocked to see Aria but smiles big as she proceeding to her seat.
"I didn't know," Aria admits embarrassed. She probably would've known if she created a Snapchat or Instagram, but she didn't care for social media.
"Spencer has distanced herself from everyone, I heard she's been really focused on becoming Summa cum laude for our class," Holden tells her filling her in. "Quinn has taken over as Queen Bee but is known as the Ice Queen. She's not like Alison but everyone knows she runs the school."
Like clockwork, Quinn walked into the class being flacked by two cheerios: Brittany Pierce and Rachel Berry. Quinn glances at Aria, face softening before her mask slides back in place as she continued to her seat.
"That's surprising but not."
Hanna strolls in next with Mona Vanderwaal and Aria's eyes widen at both of their appearances. Hanna lost the weight, is styling her hair with curls and looks like she's become the fashionista she always wanted to be. Aria smiled happily for her old friend for doing everything she always wanted to do. While Mona traded in her big oval glasses and sweaters with a long stocking for contacts and cute dresses.
"Ohh yeah Hanna is the 'It Girl' now and Mona is always with her." Aria nodded listening to Holden. Where's Emily and Santana she wondered having yet to see either of them.
Emily walks into the classroom with her headphones in not paying attention to anyone.
Aria noticed the subtle details about Emily since she was wearing a short sleeve you could see her toned arms. Emily's dark brown eyes caught mine surprised and she smiles big at me.
"Oh, and Emily has been playing the fields… you see what I did there." Holden says cheekily.
Aria rolled her eyes at him before turning her attention to the door expecting Santana to walk in. It's weird finding out that Emily and Santana aren't close anymore, they were always close they were friends before all of us became friends.
"If you're looking for Santana, don't worry she'll probably show up late," Holden tells her. "Santana is still running back and a cheerio she's just more reckless than she used to. It's probably because her mother got arrested, I heard she got emancipated from her dad."
"Good Morning Class." Aria heard the teacher spoke out over the class and her stomach falls into her ass as she looked at the teacher. "I am Ms. Sorenson and I'll be your teacher in AP Literature."
Aria's jaw drops looking at the teacher and shakes her head. This couldn't be happening Aria mumbles to herself in disbelief. She wished to never see this lady ever again and she couldn't help the anger rising in her about her father's infidelity.
Aria hears her phone vibrates loudly drawing the attention of the whole class. Aria reaches into her bag and shots everyone a small smile praying they turn away from her. After they stopped looking at her, she checked her phone, it was an unknown number.
Maybe it's time to tell Mommy dearest about daddy dearest's infidelity. I wonder what would happen if she found out.
- A
Her heart rate sped up rapidly as a nervous feeling settled in my gut. Who could this be? The only person who knew about my dad ... was ... Ali.
Aria stormed back into her bedroom with Alison following closely behind her. Aria slammed the door shut before locking it. Aria paced the room as Alison sat on the bed. How could her dad do that to her mom? How could he do that in this house where he's family lives? How could he do that in the bed he shared with his wife?
"Aria?!" Alison grabs the shorter girl's shoulders breaks Aria's train of thought. "You have to tell your mom."
Aria yanks away from Alison like she's the plague. "Maybe it was a one-time thing? Maybe he was drunk?"
"Aria. He didn't seem drunk. You need to tell your mom." Alison spoke again.
Aria was ripped from her train of thought when Santana walked into the classroom.
"Sorry, I'm late," Santana teased, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Santana walked to the back of the room taking a seat next to Noah Puckerman and Mike Chang.
The rest of the class carried on, towards the end of the class Ms. Sorenson gave us an ice breaker to play to get one another. Aria felt kinda out of her element as Holden went to mingle with everyone, she doesn't have anyone to talk to and isn't all that outgoing. She was not so subtle staring at Meredith. She never had this problem when Ali was here or when her friend group was still together, they usually stuck with each other.
"How was Greenland?" Aria turned around seeing Santana approached her before sitting on top of the desk across from the brunette. Santana was the one in the group that didn't really fall for Alison's shit and it only made Alison like her more. Santana stood up for the rest of the group when Alison got carried away.
"Iceland." Aria corrects her with a small smile. There was a moment of silence before Santana cracked a smile. The Latina pulled Aria into a hug and for a minute it felt like things were normal.
"How are you?"
"It's weird being back here," Aria uttered and the taller girl nodded. "How are you doing?"
Santana shrugged her shoulders, "It just feels like everyone is watching me."
"I can understand the feeling."
"So what brings you back to America, Aria?" Aria turned and saw Spencer standing there.
"Spence." Santana greeted with a small smile. "Yeah, Aria what brings you back to the states?"
"My parents had enough of Iceland and missed home so here we are. It was a cool place but it's not America." Aria answers they nod their head. "But being back here doesn't feel like home either."
"It never will." Aria heard Emily say as she came up to them. "It feels like she's everywhere but nowhere at the same time."
"Good because she was a bitch." A jock announced loudly clearly listening to their conversation, the group of his friends around him laughed.
Santana growls, "You're just mad she's getting more attention gone than you'll ever hear?" The jock didn't say anything but marched over to get into Santana's face. "Sit down before you get beat by a girl, Dave." Dave pushes Santana and Santana retailed by Santana punching him knocking him cleanout.
"San." Aria gasped. The jocks friends rushed to their friend. Santana just watched on as if nothing happened. Emily, Hanna, and Spencer didn't look a little bit fazed by the altercation. While Quinn looked irritated by it all letting out a loud groan.
"Ms. Lopez!" Ms. Sorenson shouted. "Can I speak with you outside?"
"No." Santana got up grabbing her stuff and leaving the classroom.
"Class is dismissed." The teacher announces before leaving the room to find Santana.
"Am I the only one who was shocked?" Aria asked confused by their lack of emotion.
Emily chuckled while Spencer just shrugged, "It's not the first time Santana has done that before." Spencer shrugs with a small smile. Well, what a way to start the day off. Aria thought to herself before grabbing her stuff to leave the classroom.
Thank you for reading. I hope everyone is being safe out here. Since I'm on lockdown I'll be trying to put out the next 6 chapters. I'm sorry this took so long I forgot I wrote this chapter a month ago. I've been a little preoccupied because I have a crazy story idea which would be 5 different stories that are all intertwined. There would a Clexa, a Quinntana, a love triangle between Hannily and Emison, a SwanQueen, a Calzona, and a Drianca story.
