Jess' Point Of View
I don't like that this is happened. I don't know why this is happening. Liam is being hunted. They want to kill him and for what? Because he is my brother? What did I ever do to deserve this?
I did things I am not proud of, but yes, they were all for one thing; to keep Liam safe. Every day of my life since Liam was born, it was my job. I make sure he is okay, I want him to be the eleven year old boy he is supposed to be. I didn't get a chance to have a real childhood.
By the time I was five, my mother died and Liam and I were left to be raised by George. Those darker days grew darker. George said he was fun and he liked to have fun, but his games are not fun. After the first time he played with me, I wanted to run and hide; his games are not fun.
By the time I was 12 and Liam was about 7, that was when George grew tired of me not wanting to play with him and he didn't like be fought with. I thought that maybe he decided to be a nice guy and stop; I was wrong.
I find George trying to play with Liam one night. Liam had no idea what was going to happen. I remember hearing "George and I are going to play!" My eyes still widen and I get shivers at those words. I knew very well that he wanted a buddy to play with.
I remember telling Liam not to play with George. I remember George saying, "Well, if Jessie doesn't want to play, I'll play with Liam." I had to make a choice then and there. Would I let George play with me, no fighting and no hiding. Or do I let Liam play with him, letting him see the animal that George is. The animal out mother left us with; I think it's obvious to say what my choice was.
I remember saying, "Liam, go to bed. George and have some work to do anyway." I say, trying to make it sound boring and something Liam would hate. He runs off and George smiles at me and I try not to show any fear as he walk closer to me.
"Remember no screaming or Liam becomes my new play mate." He whispered to me and I nod; terrified. He drags me into his room and forces my clothes off and the next thing is, I am no longer a kid. What he did to me that night was the last thing I remember of him before Liam sees me bleeding and calls the cops.
"George won't hurt you again." Liam says to me and I grin. It doesn't fix anything. I will never get back what he took from me, but somehow I don't care. At least Liam wasn't robbed of his innocence and something sacred that he can never get back.
"Jess!" I hear and Alex snaps me from my thoughts. I look over with this look of terror on my face. My brother could be getting killed, I had a right to be worried. "Don't worry—" I cut him off, right away.
"You don't understand." I mumble under my breath.
"Yeah I don't because you aren't really telling me anything." He says and I don't reply. How could I? That could make things worse, even though I don't know what could be worse than someone trying to kill Liam. "Tell me what is going on?"
"Fine, ever since I moved here I have been getting these threat texts from this "A" person." I said it as simple as I could make it.
"What?"
"Look whoever it is, is targeting me. Whoever it is knows hurting Liam is what gets to me. They have tried once before, but I got there in time, but another kid paid the price. And if I don't get there in time this time and something happens to Liam or even another kid I don't even know, I don't know what I will do."
"Why is this person out for you? What are they holding against you? Is it anything?"
"I have had done things in the past I am not proud of, but I did for Liam." I said. "I don't know what I did to deserve this and I don't know why it's me they are coming after but I am certainly not letting the people I love get hurt because of me."
"Is that why you didn't tell me anything?" He asks me and I sigh loudly. It's true, I care about Alex. I don't him nor Liam to get hurt because of me, I really don't understand.
"What was I supposed to—it doesn't matter. I need to save Liam." I said and eventually we got there.
"Stay here, I'll be back." I tell him, but he stops me.
"No, I am coming."
"I don't have time to argue." The more time I waste, the more time I give "A" the chance to kill Liam. I go towards the doors, with Alex following behind me, against my wishes. It's very dark once we got into the building. It's quiet. Too quiet.
"LIAM!" I yell as loud as I can. I yell out for him a few more times. I hope I'm not too late.
"JESS!" I hear and I run towards the sound, Alex following behind me.
"LIAM!" I yell again as I run.
"JESS!" I hear Liam scream out, fear in his voice. I hear Alex shout the same after Liam does. I don't have time for this. I trip and then I turn to see that Alex isn't behind me anymore; I don't like this at all. "Jess!" I hear again. I can't tell if it's Liam or Alex's voice.
"Liam! Alex!" I scream. I am scared now. I haven't been afraid in a long time. I hide my face as I feel the area around become filled with darkness and something touches me. I scream.
"Jess." I look up and I see Alex, Liam is in his arms. "I found him." I get up and he puts Liam down and he goes right into my arms. Thank goodness he is alive and okay.
"Thank god, you are okay." I say.
"Jess, something is after me." Liam says, scared.
"It's okay. Alex and I are going to get you out of here." I say and I see a dark shadow behind Alex. Oh god. "DUCK!" I scream and we all do and the wall behind me now has a knife sticking out of it. "RUN!" I scream and we start running for our lives.
I don't look back. I make sure I have Liam's hand and that Alex is still in sight as we make it out into the outside world, where there is daylight and witnesses all around. "We made it." Alex says, catching his breath.
"Let's get out of her first." I say and we got to my car and Alex quickly drives away from the horrible school. My phone beeps and I open a text from my near murderer.
"You may have escaped me this time, but this isn't the last time. –A"
I took Liam home and Alex took me back to school. "Promise that you won't keep any of this secret from me anymore?" Alex asks me and I grin.
"You saved mine and Liam's life." I start off by saying. "Thank you. And that's impossible. You are part of this now. You in my life now." He then kisses me and I grin again.
"Don't worry, I'll keep this a secret." Alex promises. "I'll see after class, okay."
"Okay Patrick." I say and he rolls his eyes. "Sorry, bye Alex." I say and then he walks away and I watch him as he leaves and then I feel myself being tugged in a different direction. I look and am relieved to see it is the girls; Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and Aria. Well most of them anyway.
"Give us your phone." Spencer demanded.
"No. Why?" I protest, but Aria ends up taking it out of my hand and gives it to Emily. "Hey!"
"Well?" Spencer questions Emily.
"Yep, there's quite a few texts in here." Emily said and then she gives me back my phone, I am not happy. What were they even looking for?
"What do you want from me?" I ask and then I turn to Aria. "Look, I am not interested in your boyfriend, I didn't ask for him to take me in, but he is okay and Liam likes him. Don't trust me, that is your choice, but nothing is going on."
"Aria, what is she talking about?" Spencer asks.
"She is living with Ezra." Aria says and they all looked shocked; well minus Aria and Hanna because they already knew that.
"My brother and I are foster kids." I say. "Anything else you would like to know?"
"You were getting texts from "A"?" Hanna asks and my eyes widen. Was that what they were looking for? Why? How did they even know?
"Yes, ever since I got here."
"You wouldn't have happened to know Alison did you?" Emily asks me. What kind of question was that? Why did they want to know about Ali? Of course I did.
"Yeah. She was my best friend before she moved here and got herself murdered." I tell them. "Why?"
"You're just like us." Spencer said and I was officially even more confused.
"What do you mean?" I ask. "I barley know you two. And you, I didn't really start off well with." I said, first talking to Spencer and Emily, moving on to Aria. "Hanna I have no problem with though."
"We have been getting "A" texts too. Ever since we got back to Rosewood together, a year after she died." Emily told me. "I think whoever this is, targets people closest to Ali."
"It all started when I got here." I say, it makes sense.
"Has "A" tried to hurt you? Threaten you?" Hanna asks.
"Tried to kill my brother twice, if that counts. And yeah, threatened me with my past, which isn't my fault. And almost killed my boyfriend, who also knows about this by the way." I tell them and they all look at each other.
"Alex is your boyfriend right?" Spencer asks and I nod. "Okay, you don't tell anyone else about this, okay?" I nod again. "We are all friends. We stick together. We are going to need each other if we are going to stay alive."
"Or we might end up like Ali." Hanna added.
"Okay." I said, agreeing with them. I guess I was one of them.
"You're one of us now." Spencer said and all the girls nodded, included myself. Not what I expected, but I guess it's the better part of my day. Maybe tomorrow it will be harder to die with these girls on my side.
Well that's it! Alex knows and helped save both Liam and Jess.
Jess is know officially one of the Liars and is besties with the girls.
