Pretty Little Liars Next Generation - From the Beginning

Aria's 21st birthday weekend

A/N - I am currently in the year 2018 for this story      

Aria's POV

*Wednesday May 23rd*

I recently finished my first year at Rosewood Community College. Currently, I'm not sure if I will return in the fall. I probably will since I only have 2 semesters left before I can get a 2 year degree. My brother also finished his first year and was planning on returning to RCC in the fall. I'm 2 years older then Mike but since I took time off between High school and College we were now at the same level of education. 

I had already packed up a suitcase for me and now I was packing one for Jayde.

"Mommy, where are we going?" Jayde asked

"You are going to grandma's and I am going to Las Vegas, Nevada from tomorrow until Monday." I said

"Why can't I go with you mommy?" Jayde asked

"There really isn't anything for an almost 3 year old to do in Vegas." I said

Jayde showed me her cute little sad puppy dog face.

"As soon as I get back we can have a mother/daughter day. We can go get ice cream and do whatever else you want to do." I said

"Your promise mommy." Jayde said

"I promise. We can even go to the petting zoo or chuck e cheese if you want." I said

"Love you mommy." Jayde said

"I love you so much Jayde." I said

Jayde didn't want to sleep in her own bed so I let her sleep in my bed. Jayde ends up in my bed sometimes when it storms and she's to scared to be in alone in her own room. 

*Thursday May 24th*

I woke up at 7 am. I let Jayde sleep a little bit more while I took a shower and then got dressed. I woke Jayde up in time for breakfast.  She ate her favorite cheerios and I ate special K cereal.  Around 8 am I put Jayde's suitcase in the car and  drove her to my mom's house. I had an hour before Jason and I needed to leave for Philadelphia international airport. Our flight was at noon but we had to check in at the airport 2 hours before the flight and in morning traffic the drive would be about 45 minutes. 

"Mommy, don't go." Jayde cried as I was leaving my mom's house.

"I will be back in Rosewood on Monday night but the flight gets in past your bedtime so I will pick you up Tuesday morning." I said

"Jayde, you get to stay with me while your mom's on vacation." My mom said

"I love being with you grandma." Jayde said

"Even though you won't see me until next week Jayde we can still talk on the phone between now and then." I said

"Jayde's going to be fine staying with me." My mom said

"I'm not worried about that. I just don't want her crying a lot for you mom." I said

"Aria, you were exactly like Jayde is now when you were 3 years old." My mom said

"How did you get me to stop crying?" I asked

"I had to put on a Disney movie and let you pretend to be one of the Disney characters for the day." My mom said
