Everyone had returned by the time Marco comes back rushing through the double doors, tears rolling down his face and a cellphone in his right hand.
"Marco?" Aria jumps up.
Marco says nothing and continues out the glass sliding doors. They all sit confused, Jason's hand on Aria's knee while she bounces them. Alison leaning on Emily and Hanna on Caleb. Marco rushes back in, still in tears he mutters, "Emily I signed over my rights as Toby's kin to you," he sniffles. "You can now start his paper work," he continues.
Emily looks shocked, "Marco what is going on?" she questions.
"Yvonne is dead." Marco stutters breaking into sobs once again.
"What?" They all gasp.
"Her liver burst in the crash, she had internal injuries but they caught them too late." Marco mutters. "I must go call my mother," he continues.
The rest of them nod. Marco walks back outside.
"I'm going to go start on Toby's paperwork."
20 minutes later Emily returns.
"Toby just got out of surgery, he had a hemorrhage in his brain. He broke his collar bone and left shoulder." Emily explains.
"Oh my god." Ali exclaims raising a hand over her mouth in shock.
"The doctor says he'll be okay. He will need physical therapy, but he shouldn't need any more surgery." Emily tells them.
Aria falls into Jason's arms and Caleb holds Hanna tighter.
Just then, Mary returns. Her blood was tested and approved so she went through with the blood transfusion. Veronica got ahold of Peter and he is taking the next flight out of London with Melissa.
"Spencer is in surgery now." Mary says.
Caleb chimes in, "Aria-Jason," he says gesturing. "Why don't the two of you go get cleaned up?"
The two of them nod. Jason places his hand at the small of Aria's back and the two exit through the glass sliding double doors.
JASON'S HOTEL ROOM
"Heard anything from Ezra?" Jason asks breaking the awkward tension in the room as he pulls out a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt from the second drawer of the wooden dresser.
"I'm not sure." Aria says as she looks up from her shoes. Jason looks at her with a questioning look. "My phone died a while ago." Aria continues, crossing her arms tight and sitting on the stool.
"There's a charger in the wall over there," Jason says pointing beside the bed.
Aria stands pulling her phone out of her back pocket and walks over to the charger. She looks up to find Jason digging in a box on the other side of the bed. He throws a red blouse and a pair of black jeggings onto the bedspread in front of her. Then, picking up the rest of the box, Jason places it on the edge of the bed.
"What is this?" Aria questions.
"I knew coming back I'd probably see you. This is all of the stuff you left at our place after you left." He tells her.
Aria pulls out envelops filled with used birthday cards, old books, and pair of hot pink sunglasses. "Oh my gosh," Aria says as she pulls out a baby pink stained pig hand puppet.
"Oh, yes. Pigtunia." Jason smirks.
Aria removes the small puppet from her hand as she pulls a silver bordered picture frame out of the seemingly empty box. The frame is filled with a picture of the two of them, two years ago laughing as Jason holds her in a pile of autumn leaves. A tear rolls out of her eye and onto the glass cover on the picture frame.
"Hey." Jason says, grasping and removing the picture frame from Aria's hands. He takes her chin in his palm and wipes the dampness from her cheek with his thumb. Aria turns in a places a small kiss on the end of his palm. Jason pulls Aria in tight just as she begins to sob. Jason strokes her hair and kisses the top of her head.
"What if Spencer's not going to be okay?" Aria stutters.
"She's going to be okay." Jason reassures her.
"We don't know that!" Aria says sobbing harder.
"Come here," Jason says as he pulls her onto the bed with him.
Aria snuggles into Jason's warm and hard body, sniffles and heavy breathing echoes around the room. Jason soothes Aria by running his hand up and down her back. Soon Aria drifts into sleep from exhaustion.
