Chapter Three
After dropping Mike and his friends off at the mall, Aria just sat in her car for a while. The realization didn't actually hit her until now, she was raped. What was he going to tell Ezra? Was she even supposed to tell him? She began to sob uncontrollably. Suddenly, she was interrupted when the car door opened. Mike and his friends Connor and Chaz were just staring at her. She immediately straightened up and pulled her herself together.
"Are you okay?" Mike asked.
Aria sniffed and wiped the tears away. "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Then why are you crying?"
Aria shrugged. "It's nothing. I'm just thinking about something sad. What are you guys doing? I thought you were waiting in line for that new video game release."
"It's out of stock here." They all got into the car. "Will you drive us to the Mall in Philadelphia?"
Aria sighed in frustration. "You guys have legs. Why can't you walk there?"
"That's like an hour away," Mike said. "Geez, what's wrong with you today? You've been weird all morning."
"There's nothing wrong with me. I don't like being treated like your chauffeur." Aria sighed and looked at her brother. She didn't want to argue with him. "Sorry, okay? I'm just having a bad day. I'll drive you to the city. I just have to go inside to the ATM."
That was a lie. Aria needed to buy the morning after pill. She wasn't on birth control and Jason didn't use a condom. She told her brother and his friends to wait in the car.
Once she was inside the pharmacy, she went straight up to the counter, wanting to get the embarrassing task over with quickly. She hated buying personal items. The cashier lady, put it in a bag. Aria also purchased a bottle of water. She headed to the mall restroom and took the pill in private. She threw away the packaging so Mike wouldn't see it.
As Aria walked past the food court, she felt her blood run cold. She saw Jason Dilaurentis standing there watching her. Frozen, Aria just stood there as he walked closer to her.
