"Jason?" I said incredulously.

"Aria!" he said rushing up to the bars, pushing the girls and Ezra aside. "I came as soon as I heard! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this!" he covered my hands, which were clutching the bars, with his own.

"Jason," I said as I slid my hands out from under his and took a step away from the bars, "It's nice you're here and all, but why? I didn't call you..."

I glanced sideways at Ezra and saw his lips pursed and his hands clenched. I didn't like to see him this way. Jason made Ezra feel the way Jackie made me feel. I understood how angry he was. Jason needed to leave.

"Aria, this is Rosewood. When one of my dead sister's best friends is arrested, I know about it and so does all of Rosewood," he explained.

"Jason, you need to leave. You aren't a friend or family. I have everyone I need here already. Please leave. Also by the way even if you found out that doesn't mean you have to be my knight in shining armor I was doing fine without you."

I could see the heartbreak in his eyes, but I didn't care. When we had dated the summer before Ali went missing (secretly of course) he had cheated on me with some sorority girl at Hollis. I never forgave him. Then Ali died and nothing was ever the same. Ever since he's been trying to win me back. I wouldn't have any of it. Ezra was the only person I had told this before and it was only because I felt he needed to know. I had Ezra and he was all I needed.

"Aria, I love you! Let's go back to how it was before Ali died. Please!" he pleaded.

"Hold up!" Hanna yelled. I cringed, knowing where this was going. Did he have to say that? He was going to ruin my life all over again. When we dated he tried to change me and it nearly made me lose everything that was important to me then he went and cheated on me. I couldn't believe he would even think I would consider taking him back after he was so careless with my heart.

"Go back the way it was before Ali died?" she asked. I could tell that she wasn't happy with what she was just now finding out. I was scared that she would be so mad that she wouldn't be my friend since I had also kept Ezra a secret from them.

I squeezed my eyes shut, willing this moment to go away.

"Did you two have a thing that summer?" asked Spencer. She was smart but she wouldn't let herself believe it. That was the thing with Spencer even when she knew things she would lie to herself hoping it would go away but it was true.

Before I could say anything, Jason jumped in. "It was more than a thing! We were in love!"

"No we weren't!" I interjected. He may have been in love with me but I wasn't in love with him. Maybe I was at a time but o god what am I saying he didn't care about me and I knew it the whole time I was not in love with him not even a little! Or was I?

"You don't get to speak, you picture taking creep!" screeched Hanna.

"What pictures?" demanded Ezra. I had never told him about the pictures Em and Spence found. I knew he wouldn't take it well so I figured it would be better kept a secret but I guess not because three things can not be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

"I can say whatever the hell I want!" yelled Jason.

"EVERYONE STOP!" yelled Emily. We were all shocked into silence.

"Jason: leave. She is in love with Ezra. The sooner you realize that the better for everyone. Spencer and Hanna: yes, they had a thing that summer. Aria: yes, I know. I caught you making out with him at a sleepover once while going to get some water in the middle of the night. Ezra: Jason took some creepy pictures of Aria sleeping and developed them in his shed-turned-darkroom. Now that everything is out in the open, can we please focus on Aria? She is in jail in case you forgot which is why were all here. Its not about any of you it's about Aria."

Everyone was silent for a moment and then all hell broke loose. I knew this was coming but I didn't want to believe it.

"You bastard!" yelled Ezra before he leaped at Jason, tackling him to the ground. Jason fought back slamming him into the wall. I could watch I just looked towards the girls but they look appalled. Leave it to Jason to ruin everything.

"You had an affair with Jason?" yelled Hanna.

"Well she must have an explanation!" Spencer tried to rationalize.

This went on and on, the fighting, with Emily trying to calm everyone down before Garret came in and had to book Ezra and Jason for fighting and had to ask Spencer and Hanna to take a seat in front of the station for questioning.

So I sat in my cell, arrested for a crime I didn't commit, between my ex-boyfriend and my current love. The next few hours were sure to be interesting and hopefully I still had a boyfriend when I got out of here Ezra couldn't even stand to look at me. Jason on the other hand kept trying to get me back but if I wasn't going to take him back before what would make him think I would take him back now? Just then Garrett came and called me for questioning. I normally would hate to leave Ezra but now I really wanted to get out of that cell.

"So tell us why you did it Aria this can go the easy way or the hard way." Garret said. I couldn't even believe he thought I would do this to my BEST friends. It was sickening that anyone would frame me of putting them through this.

"How many times to I have to tell you Garret I didn't do it I was framed I would never do this to them!" I snapped then got up but he told me that if I took one more step he would take me into custody. "Didn't you already do that? Because look at where we are Garret look around you! You arrested me when I didn't do anything of course A would frame one of us and since she/he/it doesn't harass me like she/he/it does the others I would be the target!" I screamed with tears coming down my face then I turned and ran out of there out to the front with Spencer and Hanna even though they both looked pissed.

"Why wouldn't you tell us?" Hanna said she looked more hurt than anything which I could understand.

"We decided to keep it a secret so Ali wouldn't say anything. I know I should've told you guys but I just didn't." I hope they would understand because they were my best friends.

"I get it. I'm just shocked. But I'm more shocked that they let you out." Spencer said and we all laughed.

"They didn't they took me back for questioning and I ran out of the room."

"So now you're running from the cops? You just get into more trouble by the minute." Hanna joked then Garret came and handcuffed me and brought me back to the cell. But this time it was a different cell. I was alone in the back of the station handcuffed when I did nothing. Nothing at all to deserve this. I really hate A.
