Chapter Five - Gucci and Gin

Note: I'm going to use many ideas from the books because I find the books way more interesting. If you have read the books then a lot of the things I mention you may remember and If you haven't you really should, your missing out. Okay, so information I'm using from the books includes. First, Mona died from her fall at the cliffs, she didn't live. Second, Jenna was murdered, so she's no longer around. Third and most important, Ali had a twin named Courtney. Courtney was really the girl who was friend with the liars the whole time, she stole Ali's identity. When Ali came back she killed Courtney, that's the body found in the backyard. Then when the family revealed the twin as Courtney, it was the real Alison. Alison then was horribly angry at her sister for ruining her life by hanging out with the losers she had killed Courtney for it and then she wanted revenge on the girls so she tried to burn them in the Hastings beach house, but they survived and Ali's real body was never recovered or seen again, they assume she is dead. Is Ali dead?

I need to know if you guys want Ali to be dead for sure and not coming back and no more A drama, or do you want drama? I can focus on Noel and Aria or add some A drama.

Aria placed her hand on the side of Noel's face and pulled him closer to her, he leaned into her and then she kissed him like it was the last time she would ever kiss anyone. Noel leaned into her, pushing her back closer to the bed, he reached over her and laid his guitar on the floor. Aria pulled him closer until he was on top of her. Then she placed her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him deeper into the kiss, her fingers ran through his smooth dark hair. Noel let out breath and moved her closer up to the pillows, she let herself fall back onto the bed and she pulled him down with her. Noel smelled like Gucci sport cologne, she loved the smell, Ezra usually smelled like coffee. Noel kisses felt amazing, better than any other kiss. Aria let his tongue slide into her mouth, he tasted slightly like gin. Aria didn't care that he tasted like alcohol, because everything felt amazing she could feel her heart beat faster and she could feel his too. Noel ran his hands along Aria's back and sides, she could tell him hands were rougher than Ezra's, most likely from playing sports. Aria liked the feeling better, even though they weren't perfectly soft hands they still felt soft on her skin and it gave her amazing tingling sensations all over her body.

"You taste like gin" breathed as he kissed down her neck.

"I was nervous... you know about talking to you tonight, so I had a drink" he said truthfully, he pulled back from her and stared at her. Aria wished he hadn't pulled away, but for now it was better they didn't go there.

"You don't have to be nervous" she said running her fingers through his hair, he rolled off of her and layed next to her.

"Yes I do, your beautiful and I just didn't wanna mess up and lose any chance I had to be with you" he told her.

"Well, you didn't mess anything up" she told him and she gave him a kiss.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, sure" she answered.

"How are you dealing with all this Mona was A and Ali had a twin sister that she killed and now the real Ali may actually be dead"

"I'm not really sure..." she said thinking, not many people had actually asked her how she felt only her parents and of coarse her friends talked about it since they experienced it together. Hanna obviously took it harder than anyone when they found out Mona was the first A. Then Emily had so many conflicting feelings with Courtney being here and finding out she was really Ali, then Ali tried to kill them and I was obvious that Emily took it worse than anyone. Hanna had some time to get over the Mona thing but Emily's feelings were still rocky, especially since the real Ali had also killed her girlfriend Maya, just to cause her pain. "I think it was harder for all the other girls" she finally spoke. "Hanna was friends with Mona, Emily lost Maya and Ali and Spencer lost two half sisters".

"Can I tell you something?" Noel asked grabbing her hand.

"Of coarse" she said noticing that it seemed important.

"I had another brother" he spoke "Jared, he was a lot older than me and in college, he had a girlfriend and a lacrosse scholarship. When I was ten I woke up one night and went to his room to find him... dead. Jared had killed himself" he confessed to her. Aria could tell it was hard for him to tell her what he had just shared so she pulled him in for a hug, he held her tight for a while and then let her go to speak again. "I still go to his grave sometimes and talk to him, it helps a lot".

"I tried that for a while with Ali, I usually just felt like I was talking to myself" she admitted.

"The one thing I cant' understand still is why? Jared seemed to be so happy and have everything he could want, so what makes a person do that?"Aria didn't know, she didn't know what to say to make him feel better.

"I don't know, I'm really sorry Noel" she said not really knowing what else to say. Noel didn't speak for a while, he just stared at the ceiling.

"Do you wanna go downstairs?" he asked finally trying to change the subject.

"Not really" she answered honestly "I'm happy just being up here with you, I'm not really in to parties"

"Then why did you come?"

"Well at first it was to forget about what Ezra had said to me, then I started hanging out with you..." she said not really seeing a need to continue her sentence It was obvious she was here now just to see Noel.

"Do you have a ride home?"

"Ummm, I did. Hanna was here with me and Emily, we were staying at her house. Hold on" Aria pulled out her phone and called Hanna, no answer, then she called Emily, no answer again. I'll just text them she decided.

Let me know when you guys leave - Aria

Oh, sorry Aria Emily went out to some ice cream shop downtown and I just left, I found a really cute boy! Can Noel bring you home later? - Hanna

"Everything okay?" Noel asked watching her anxiously.

"I guess I don't have a ride home anymore" Aria began to wonder if the hot guy Hanna went home with was actually her brother Mike, and who was Emily with? Did she find a cute boy? or a cute girl?

"I can take you... or... you could stay here with me? My parents wont be home till Monday" Noel offered. Well if Hanna was gonna take home a guy and ditch her alone at a party, why shouldn't she stay with Noel? I mean my mom does think I'm staying with Hanna anyway she remembered, and Hanna's mom wont know I'm gone cause she not ever there.

"Yeah, I'll stay with you" she decided quickly.

"Really?" he asked, smiling at her.

"Yes really" she said laughing at his boyish grin.

"Do you wanna watch LOST with me?" he asked her sitting up on the bed.

"I don't see why not"

"Awesome! I just got all the season's on DVD, I loved to watch it when it was on TV, I never missed an episode" Then he got up and walked over to his desk and pulled out a DVD case. "We can start with season one, I haven't watched any of the episodes yet"

"Okay, I can barley remember anything that happened, so I'll be able to catch up" she said watching him walk over the TV and put in the DVD. Aria sat up and leaned against the head board of Noel's bed.

"Do you want popcorn? or anything?"

"Yeah sure, popcorn and soda?" she asked.

"Awesome, I can do that" Noel turned on the TV and handed her the remote "Skip all the previews and I'll be back soon, don't hit play though" he warned playfully and then he opened the door and glided out shutting it quickly behind him.

When Noel got to the kitchen finally, after pushing past several people he noticed his brother Eric sitting on the counter talking to a few girls. When Eric noticed Noel he whispered to the girls to go ahead and dance without him and he would find them in a minute, then he hopped off the counter and padded over to Noel.

"Hey!" Eric said to Noel as he popped open another beer he had just got from the fridge.

"Looks like your having fun" Noel said flatly to his brother while looking through the million cabinets in their kitchen to find the popcorn.

"Yeah, and It looks like you had a pretty good time too. I saw that hot girl go up to your room earlier"

"Yeah well that hot girl has a name, it's Aria" Noel told his brother as he closed the microwave kind of hard, Noel was getting annoyed with his brother fast.

"Oh, I get it, you have a crush"

"Eric, just leave me alone okay? I'm not in the mood for you to be all drunk and annoying. Just so you know yes, I like Aria, and what's wrong with that?" Noel grabbed the popcorn and drinks and went back upstairs to be with the only girl he had ever had real feelings for, the only girl he felt he could be real with.
