It's the end of the school day and things get a little interesting. Jessie is told something that she did not see coming.

PLL belongs to Sara Shepard and ABC Family.

I do not own or take credit for it.

After school I was standing up against my locker as Em put her stuff away. "You okay?" I turned to her. I didn't realize how dazed out and distracted I probably looked right now.

"Fine." I look behind her, Aria was at her locker.

"You gonna go to her house?"

"Yea. I owe it to them to explain everything. But I have to help Spence with something first."

After my little episode I apologized to Aria for being mean to her and promised that I would tell her everything. She also said she was sorry for yelling at me, then asked to go over after school. I told her I would after I helped Spencer with a favor. I didn't tell her that I lived with her yet. That would come as part of the explaining when I get to her house.

"Ready?" Spencer walks over.

I nod. "Yea."

I turn to say goodbye to Em when Mr. Fitz walks out of his classroom. He catches sight of me and walks over. "Jessie right?"

I look at the girls then him. "Uh. Yea."

His eyes soften a bit. "You don't remember me do you?"

"You subbed my classes a few times."

He half smiles. "Well yes...but that's not what I meant."

"I..."

"Jessie. I..." He hesitates and it was making me feel awkward, yet scared at the same time.

I just watched him. What could he possibly have to say that was making him so choked up? Where else could I have seen him besides in a classroom? I kept staring over at the girls and they just gave me the "what is going on?" look. He really seemed to be struggling to get it out.

Finally he clears his throat. "I was the one who pulled you out of your car." My heart skips a beat and my mouth completely drops. I feel myself starting to fall and he jerks forward, wrapping one of his hands around my good wrist while the other grabs above my cast to hold me up. Someone else caught me from behind at the same time. They helped me stand straight and I just stared at Mr. Fitz.

All of a sudden my mind is going through the day of the accident as if I was watching a movie. The whole memory was in slow motion. We were leaving Rosewood to visit family in Jersey for the weekend when a dog ran in front of our car. Dad swerved out of the way and he lost control because of all the water on the street from the downpour we had not to long before. The car turned and flipped multiple times before it finally stopped. When I looked I realized I was upside down. Then I felt pain from my head. I put my hand on my head and flinched, blood was all over as I pulled it away. I look next to me and see Jeff unconscious. I couldn't believe what just happened.

Everything was now starting to get blurry as I tried to get myself out of my seatbelt. I could see feet outside our car now, then a blurry figure comes into view. The person gets on their hands and knees and asked me if I was okay. My vision was in and out of focus as I tried to see who it was. A man was staring back at me. He looked familiar but I couldn't put a name to the face. I then feel a jerk when he pulled opened the door and arms wrap around me as he tempted to pull me out. I screamed in pain, my leg felt like it was about to rip off. He told me to relax as much as I could, that I was going to be okay. Then he started to have a conversation with me, asking me my name, how old I was. Basically trying to keep me calm and not focused on anything else. The last thing I remember was him carrying me to the sidewalk and holding me tight as the car exploded.

"Jessie?" My eyes slowly meet his. He was tall so he had to bend a bit so we were at eye level.

I noticed he was still holding onto my wrist. "You..." I took a deep breath. My head was starting to ache and I was getting a bit dizzy. "You saved me?"

He looked at me with a sympathetic expression and nods. "I did."

My mouth was still half hanging open as I tried to process what he just told me. I looked to the side and noticed that Aria was now standing with us. She looked so upset. They all did and I couldn't blame them. I was just as confused and upset as them.

"You don't remember at all?" He says.

I nod. "I do. I just...my vision wasn't very reliable by the time you got to me. The doctors said I had an concussion."

"What's the last thing you remember?" He asks.

"You protecting me from the explosion. Then being in the hospital." He nods. "What happened between those points?" He thinks for awhile. If you could look inside his brain I'm sure you could see the wheels turning.

After a bit of silence he starts to tell the rest of what I couldn't remember. How when he pulled away after the explosion he saw that I was in shock. So much that he couldn't get me to talk. Which he completely got 'cause I had just witnessed my family dying right in front of my eyes. So he just sat with me till the ambulance got there. They took me away, police asked him a few questions then he left.

"I tried to see you." His eyes shift around a bit. "But I wasn't family. So they didn't let me in." I was now trying to control my breathing. "I'm sorry for what you went through. For not being able to save the rest of your family. And..." His eyes were a bit watery. "For not keeping in touch."

I didn't know what to say. I had so much emotions and thoughts going through me that I just didn't know what to say. So I watched him for a bit, trying to figure it out. Then I did the only thing I could think of that would sum up how grateful I was...I gave him a hug.

I felt him tense up for a second, then he wrapped his arms around me. I had a lump in my throat as I felt myself about to cry. "Thank you." I got out in between a sob that I quickly covered up.

"You're welcome." He pulls away and looks down at me. "You ever need anything. Let me know. Okay?" I nod and he smiles. "I'll see you girls tomorrow. I got to go." He turns around and walks off.

I couldn't even begin to figure out what just happened. How did I not recognize his voice. How could I not tell it was him when he walked into class this morning? This entire day has just been one surprise right after the other. What the hell is going on?

Anything thoughts so far? Let me know in a review.
