Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. This is the New Years chapter but I will not be doing New Years for all the familys because only a few will be included in this chapter.
Ready for a New Year
General POV
Christmas was over and now everyone was getting ready for the new year.
DiLaurentis/DiLaurentis fields new years
Coco and Chanel had gone on a trip with Jayde to visit Kelsey in Toronto. Cece and Jason invited Ali, Emily, Alex, and Enzo over. Jason told Enzo that Catalina could come over as well. When Cece and Jason were setting up the dinner table they got into a little argument.
"We have to set the table for 8 instead of 6." Jason said
"Last time I counted you, me, plus Alison's family was only 6 since our kids are in Toronto." Cece said
"Well I told Enzo to invite Catalina and her brother over." Jason said
"First of all I don't know who they are and second of all I never agreed to it." Cece said
"Catalina is Enzo's girlfriend and her older brother is home from University of Colorado." Jason said
"I wish you hadn't told me last minute, How are we going to have enough food now?" Cece said
"Don't worry about it, Emily and Ali are bringing over an appitiser and a dessert." Jason said
The dinner was interesting. After dinner Cat's brother had a little chat with Enzo.
"You need to stay away from my sister." He said
"Cat and I are in love. I'm sorry if we took things a little to far last week but you have to know Cat was the one that wanted it to go that far." Enzo said
"Just talk to Cat because I found this last night." He said handing Enzo a piece of paper.
All it said was "Regret" multiple times. Enzo went to talk to Catalina. He found her outside freezing because she wasn't wearing a coat.
"Here, take this." Enzo said handing cat his jacket.
"Thanks." Cat said and Enzo noticed tears in her eyes.
"Can we talk about this?" Enzo asked showing Cat the "Regret" paper.
"How did you get that?" Cat asked
"Your brother found it and gave it to me." Enzo said
"I don't want to do what we did last week again for a long time." Cat said
"Neither do I." Enzo said
"Have you told anyone?" Cat asked
"My sister knows." Enzo said
"So if Alex knows then Elizabeth probably knows as well." Cat said
Cavanaugh/Kingston Family New Years
Everyone was gathered at the Kingston house for New Years. Melissa's boyfriend Ian and his son Ryan were there so it was supper awkward for Bella. She was having a good time until Ian proposed to Melissa. Bella ran out of the house upset. She thought she was leaving unnoticed but her dad followed her. They were siting on the front porch talking.
"Running away from your problems is only going to make matters worse." Wren said
"I'm sorry, I guess because that was something you always did that's why I do it to." Bella said
"Where were you planing on going?" Wren asked
"No where far, just somewhere I could think." Bella said
"I can't imagine how hard it is for you. This might make you feel better, your mom said she had to think about it and she didn't want to get married if you were not ok with it." Wren said
"The thing is I'm not ok with it. Maybe a few years down the road but it has only been a 6 1/2 months since you and mom divorced." Bella said
"I know I'm going back to London in a few days but I will be thinking about you everyday. I am here for you to talk anytime even though it will only be over the phone." Wren said
Rivers Family New Years
Hanna and Caleb where under a lot of stress and it was putting a strain on their marriage. By now everyone knows about Tyler since it is all over the newspapers. internet, and TV News. Originally they had planned to visit Caleb's mom in Montecito, CA. Caleb's dad was also going to be there because they had planed a family reunion. Since Tyler was still under house arrest he couldn't travel they decided as a family it was best if they didn't go. Instead Caleb's dad had come to Rosewood. Caleb's mom wasn't able to travel because of her health.
Hanna was talking on the phone to her friends. Deylia and Tyler were on another phone listening in.
"You do realize if dad looses his job it's going to be all because of you." Deylia said
"I made a plan for when I am in court. Ryan has to tell the truth under oath." Tyler said
"All Ryan did was sell the pills to you." Deylia said
"Deylia, He is more involved then you think. I asked Ryan to stay away from Bella and he said he would only do that if I gave him money. Ryan blackmailed me into buying pills that he stole." Tyler said
"So you have been paying Ryan to stay away from Bella." Deylia said
"Yes but according to Bella he didn't listen." Tyler said
"What did Ryan do to Bella?" Deylia asked
"I'm only telling you this because you will find out in court. Ryan and Bella had sex a few times. Bella told me the first time Ryan got her drunk and guilted her into it. Then another time after that Ryan forced her into it." Tyler said
"When did Bella tell you this Tyler because she hasn't said a word to me about it?" Deylia asked
"It was the day that you and Bella were caught with drugs at school. I went over to Bella's house to tell her how sorry I was. I knew something was bothering her. At first Bella didn't want to tell me but then she told me what happened with her and Ryan." Tyler said
"That is so awful. It was bad enough that Bella had to live with Ryan but she was going through something worse and didn't even tell her best friend about it." Deylia said
A Week Later - Tylers court day
Tyler Rivers was going to court today. The entire Rivers family was there except for Darcy and Will because they were at school and this didn't concern them. Deylia was there to support her brother. Bella Kingston had skipped school and drove to the courthouse. Bella couldn't be in the actual court room but she waited. Hours later Tyler had walked out of the courtroom followed by Deylia and their parents. Tyler wasn't in handcuffs so it was a good sign. He walked over to were Bella was waiting even though his parents had wanted him to follow them.
"How long have you been waiting here for me?" Tyler asked
"All day, so how did things go?" Bella asked
"I'm cleared of all charges. I'm even able to go back to school next week. Our plan to bring Ryan down worked." Tyler said
"It was more like your plan but I'm glad things worked out." Bella said
Both Bella and Tyler saw Ryan being brought out of the courthouse in handcuffs. His dad was right behind him. It must have been hard for Ian to arrest his own son but Bella and Tyler didn't care.
"Bella, Ryan won't be able to hurt you again I promise." Tyler said
"I think I'm ready to give us another chance if you are." Bella said
"We'll talk about it another day. Right now my family is waiting for me." Tyler said
Bella and Tyler kissed. Both of them would have done more then just kissing if they were somewhere more private. Tyler walked over to where his parents and Deylia were waiting. Bella left and went home.
"Why were you at the courthouse today?" Melissa asked
"I'm sorry that I skipped school to be there for Tyler." Bella said
"I'm not mad but we do need to talk about some things." Melissa said
"Do you know what happened in the court room?" Bella asked
"Only some of it but most importantly why didn't you tell me what Ryan did to you?" Melissa asked
"I was scared that you wouldn't believe me mom." Bella said
"Does your dad know about this?" Melissa asked
"No, I almost told him right before he left but I didn't." Bella said
"I want you to know Ryan will be in Jail, for how long I don't know. I will be asking for a restraining order between him and you so if he ever gets out he won't be able to hurt you anymore." Melissa said
"In better news I think Tyler and I are going to give our relationship another chance." Bella said
"I'm happy for you Bella." Melissa said
