Hey all! I'll try and get another chapter done by tonight, but no guarantees. Bit of a busy week starting a few hours ago!

I own nothing...yadda yadda yadda.

ENJOY!

I felt someone lightly shake my shoulder.

"Aria. Time to wake up." I slowly opened my eyes and saw Jason staring at me.

I let go of Jason's hand that I was still holding onto. He got out of the car. I looked out of the car and saw we were parked in front of Jason's house. "What are we doing here?" I asked when he opened my door.

"I'm keeping you safe."

"But my parents..."

"I've already called Spencer. She's covering for you." He lifted me out of the car bridal style.

"I can walk you know."

He chuckled. "I know, but this is fun. Don't act like you don't like it."

He barely got us in the house with me still in his arms. He walked over and laid me on the couch then went to the door and double locked it. He proceeded to closing all the blinds and curtains. I got up to help him.

Once we had locked every door and window and closed all the blinds and curtains, Jason led me up to his room. He grabbed a duffle bag from his bed and handed it to me. I looked inside it. It had a change of my clothes and a pair of my pajamas.

"I had Hanna bring over some of your clothes for you. I figured you would want to change as soon as possible.

I looked up at him. "Jason. This was so sweet. Thank you."

"Bathroom is right through there."He pointed to a door right behind him.

I went in and changed into the pajamas. They were blue with yellow ducks on them. I was going to kill Hanna for packing these. I walked out of the bathroom to see Jason texting on the phone. He looked up at me when he heard the door opening.

"Everything ok?" I asked.

"Yeah. Noel just woke up. They are heading back to Rosewood too find you." I know my eyes would give away how scared I was, which was confirmed when Jason walked over to me and put his arms around me. "I won't let anything happen to you. I am going to keep you safe." I relaxed in his arms.

"I know you will."

"I need to make a few calls. This will be the first place they look." He let go of me and I reluctantly let go of him. He reached into his back pocket and produced my phone. I don't even remember losing it. He dropped it in my hand. "Let your friends know you are safe." He walked out of the room. I sat down on Jason's bed and called Hanna.

"Aria? Oh thank goodness you are alright! We've been worried sick about you."

"I haven't been gone that long." I replied.

"Jason told me everything. I was worried something had gone wrong."

"Do Spencer and Emily know?"

"I have no idea."

I need you to do me a favor."

"Anything."

"Call Spencer and Emily and let them know what's going on. Then I need you all to get over to the school. Do you have any way of contacting Officer Holbrook?"

I could hear Hanna smile through the phone. "I've been texting him non stop for 3 days."

"I need him to be with you there. Toby too. And Paige. Just make sure everyone is together."

"Why? What are we doing?"

"Figuring this all out once and for all. Only this time, we aren't going to be alone."

"Aria, we can't do that! What about Ali?"

"Yes we can. And we have to. I have a good idea as to who 'A' is and we need to all be together. That way no one will get hurt." Jason walked back into the room. I looked up at him and gave him a small smile.

"Alright. We will meet you there. I'll give the heads up. What time?"

"As soon as possible. I don't know when the rest of this will all go down." I knew she was confused, but she let it go.

"See you soon, Aria. Stay safe."

"You too." I hung up.

I stood up and walked over to Jason, pulling him into a hug.

"Everything okay?" He asked.

I nodded against his chest. I looked up at him. "As soon as this ends, we have to meet up with the girls. You have to know what you are up against." He looked confused. "It's more than just Ezra."

He looked sceptical, but let it go. I pulled away from him. I needed to tell him about Ali now, before he heard about it tonight. I just wasn't sure how to do that.

I felt his arms wrap around my waist, breaking me of my thoughts. "I don't know how long we have before they show up. I just want to hold you." He softly spoke those words in my ear and gently kissed my shoulder. I spun around and kissed him on the lips.

It started out gentle, but soon turned passionate. He led me over to the bed and we fell back onto it. I lay flat on my back with him above me. I don't know how long we were like that before he pulled away, leaving both of us breathless. He cupped my cheek with his right hand and smiled down at me. I smiled back.

"I've been waiting a long time to do that." He said.

"Me too." I replied.

I instantly thought to Alison. Jason must have seen the change in me face.

"Ar, what's wrong? Did I do something?" He moved away from me.

"No! No, it wasn't you. There's just something I need to tell you." He stood up and moved to the foot of the bed.

"What?"
