Chapter 14

Previously -
"What is it Jason?"
"I want you to come to my backyard. We need to talk."
"Jason, what does that mean? Who is included in 'we' "?
"We includes you, Emily, Hannah, me and.."
"and who Jason?"
"Alison." Jason answered after a long pause.

"Alison! Do you mean Ali?", Spencer asked in surprised voice.
"yes Ali. I cannot talk anything on phone. Come to my backyard at 11 pm tonight. Bye."
Girls were shocked. It was 8 pm. They still had three hours. They were feeling restless. Thought of Aria hunting Alison made them uneasy.
"I think Ali knows that we know that Aria is A. That's why she is coming to meet us."
"May be. I cannot say anything anymore. After reading that note and talking with , I am also thinking about Aria being A. How come we were so blind! May be it was the reason why A almost always beat us."
After that no one talked. All were thinking about meeting with Ali after more than two years. All these days they were trying to find her killer when she was alive. There was anger towards Aria, but their hearts were still not letting them believe 100% that Aria is A. Time passed. It was 10:45. They headed for Jsson's backyard. He was already there waiting for them. They kept distance from Jason. By now they have learned to not to trust anyone. He just nodded as they arrived. He looked equally uneasy and excited.
"She called me some days ago from some unknown phone. I am sure it is her. She wanted to meet you , but she said it was dangerous to call you. " He said keeping his back to liars and eyes staring something far away. As he said that, everyone heard rustling of leaves and cracking of branches coming from dark woods. They just stared there until a hooded figure with blonde hair appeared. It was really Alison standing in front of them.
Jason gasped loudly and took a step back. Girls were pretty normal.
Spencer said a small hi. Alison just smiled her special smile.
"Thanks for meeting me. Jason , thanks, but I don't need you anymore." Ali said.
Jason was too stunned to move, so Alison motioned girls to follow her. When they were far enough from Jason, Ali turned to face them.
"Ali! who is A?"
"What happened that night! "
"Where is Aria?"
"How can we help you?"
"Where were you!?"
Girls couldn't stop questioning her. After they were silent, Alison spoke-
"I have my reasons to hide. I cannot tell you who is A. Besides that, I think you are very close to A's discovery. Oh, I missesd you all! But there is no time to waste. If you want to help me, be at the Bell tower on 2 am. This is it. If things work, we will be officially A free."
She smiled and said "Bye."
"Alison, wait we..."
"As I said there is no time to waste, see you soon girls. Glad to see no one has pink stripes here" Alison said cutting whatever Spencer said.
Girls were in shock. Alison left without a word. Her last remark about pink stripes confirmed girls' suspicion.
