Skinny Love

Halloween's a Scene

The next morning I woke up without clothes and a smile. I grabbed a sweat shirt from my bag and shorts and threw them on quickly. I was about to leave the room and Jason opened the doors to see if I was awake.
"Morning" I greeted him. When he saw me his face lit up. I walked over to him and gave him a kiss.
"I made pancakes" he told me and my face lit up.
"Really!" I got excited, a little too excited. Jason laughed and nodded. We went into the other room and we both ate. After that I took a quick shower. I didn't bother with my make up and I threw on a comfy outfit. Jason did the same but, he didn't skip make up because he doesn't wear it at all. Jason and I didn't want to leave yet so we went on the couch sitting together.
"I have a weird question for you" Jason said
"Ok" I was nervous about what it was
"If someone was bothering you and you didn't know who they were would you tell anyone?" Jason asked and I was confused
"Like A?" I asked
"Sure" he replied
"I wouldn't tell police unless they physically hurt you, why are you asking me" I asked him
"Because if it happens to you again, I want to know who you would tell" Jason answered but I had a feeling he was lying.
"It's almost 2:00pm we should get going now?" Jason asked
"Ok" I answered. We got our bags and got in the car. I laid my head on the window and just watched other cars go by. After about 20 minutes in the car I sat up and looked at Jason
"Jason, are you getting messages?" I asked him and he sighed
"Aria" he just looked forward
"Jason answer me, if someone is bothering you tell me now" I almost yelled. He stayed silent
"Jason Dilaurentis answer me now" I yelled at him and he sighed again
"Yes Aria, someone has been texting me" he yelled back at me
"Why?" I asked
"They said that if I broke up with you, that they would...." Jason paused
"What Jason? They would what?" I asked
"They would give me Alison's body back" he answered me
"Ok" I sat back
"I don't know what to do" he almost cried. He pulled over on the road and sat there.
"It's clear the choice" I told him and he gave me a confused look.
"What's that mean" he asked
"We break up and you get Ali's body back" I told him
"Hell no, we aren't breaking up" he freaked out
"Jason, we will break up and then when you get the body back we can get back together, we love each other, we aren't going to slip away from each other so easily" I gave him a smile and he nodded his head agreeing to the plan. The rest of the car ride was silent then he dropped me off at my house. My mom was watching tv in the family room and Mike was in the kitchen with his girlfriend.
"Hey honey how was Philly?" My mom asked
"Good" I told her.
"Mom are you moving out?" I asked
"This week baby, but I'll still see you" she hugged me and I started crying, thinking about my parents being in two different homes. She rubbed my head. I was also partially crying because I can't call Jason or anything for a while.
"What are you going to be for Halloween?" My mom asked me trying to change the topic.
"The girl from the great gatsby" I answered her
"Cute, do you have the costume?" She asked
"Halloween is in like 3 week, I should get that" I realized and went upstairs. I went upstairs and I put my bag in my room. I put my makeup on and I put a nice outfit on. I left the house and went to the costume store. I looked around to find things for my costume. I walked around then someone came up to me and held my mouth and nose so I couldn't breathe. They let go and I turned around. They lifted their mask it was Noel.
"Noel" I hit his shoulder
"Hello Aria" he gave me an evil smirk
"So I heard you aren't having a party this year" I said making conversation
"Yeah, I wanted to see what the Halloween train is like" he smiled.
"You know I did that same trick on Alison the Halloween before she disappeared" he held up the mask he had.
"Really, she must have loved it" I smiled at him
"She thought it was party worthy" he laughed.
"I'm gonna go, maybe I'll see you on the train" he left and I waved to him. There is something about Noel that makes every girl blush no matter how much of an ass he is being. I kept looking around. I found the things I need and I left the store. I walked down the street into the brew to get a coffee. Then someone tapped my shoulder. I turned and saw Ezra.
"Ezra" I was in disbelief and I didn't know why. I haven't seen him in a while
"Hey Aria, how are you?" He asked and I could tell he was nervous
"I'm good, how are you?" I asked him
"Ok, I own this place now" he smiled.
"Wow that's great" I told him
"Are you seeing anyone?" He asked me
"Not right now" I gave a sad smile.
"Would you like to have dinner?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck because he was nervous
"Ezra I totally would but, I just got out of a relationship" I told him and he nodded.
"Well, um you have my number if you change your mind" he turned and left. I got my coffee and went home. I went to my room to try on the dress I bought for the costume. I looked at my messy desk. I saw one earring that wasn't mine then I remembered.
Flash back
Alison and I were standing in my dads office.
"Is he still with that girl?" Alison asked with a cringing face
"He told me he ended it" I told her she made an 'aw sweetie' face
"Yeah, Sure, they probably do it on this couch everyday" she dug her hand into the cushion
"Ew Ali!" I squealed. Then she pulled out an earring. My jaw dropped in disappointment. I can't believe my dad.
"I'm sure if you dig deeper in here you will find her thong" Ali admired the earring then walked over to where I was. I was crying
"Maybe Meredith is about to have a melt down" Alison grabbed a coffee mug and started pouring it on my dads papers and on his desk. Then all hell broke lose.
End of flash back
I whipped my tears and picked it up. I put it in a box under my bed and took off the dress I had on. I called the girls and we all went to Spencer's for a meeting.
"I got this, and I think it is from A" I told them
"Why do you think it's from A" Hanna asked
"Because this is what I put in Alison's casket" I answered her
"You got yours too, I got mine back two days ago" Hanna told me. We all looked at each other with nervous looks. I told them about Jason with the A messages.
"This is my fault" Emily cried
"No it's not" I told her
"I just had to keep drinking" she cried. We all comforted her.
