Chapter 1

June - August 2009 – Cape May, NJ

It was the beginning of summer and the DiLaurentis had just arrived at their cabin in Cape May. Alison and Jason had already started fighting about who got the bigger bedroom this year. After they settled on Jason having it this year with the promise that Alison could have it next year and he owed her a favor, as this was his second year having that room.

That night they decided to have a bonfire on the beach and make s'mores. Kenneth had asked Jason to the cut the firewood and Alison to help her mom in the kitchen. Alison started to cut the veggies for the kabobs when her mom came in the kitchen. "Alison what the hell is this mess?"

"Dad told me to help you, I thought I'd cut the peppers and the onions." Alison says trying to keep her temper in check; she could tell this wasn't going to end well.

"Can't you do anything right?" She screams grabbing the knife roughly from Alison's hand.

Alison tried not to flinch or show any emotion at all. "Sorry…" She mumbles.

"Just get out of my face!" She yells as she takes another drink of her whine. Alison stands stunned for a moment. "Are you stupid?" She says grabbing her by the wrist and yanking her closer and Alison could feel it pop. "Get the fuck out of my face!"

Alison ran out the backyard and saw Jason splitting some wood by the shed. She walked over towards him trying not to cry.

He noticed Alison making her way over and she was cradling her right wrist. "Hey Ali!" he calls to her.

She looks up at him with unshed tears as she tries to smile. "Hey."

"I thought you were helping mom?" He asks with a small smile.

"I was it's just… she's in one of her moods." She says trying to hold her tongue.

"Yeah, she seems to be in 'one of those moods' a lot lately." He tells her with a knowing look. "Is your wrist okay?" He asks in concern.

"It's fine!" She says not wanting to show any weakness.

"Are you sure?" He says trying to reach for her wrist.

She turns from him and grabs the axe. "It's fine…ok!" She says swing it above her head and bringing it down hard. When it connects with the log the reverberation from the axe made her wrist snap back with a loud popping and she cries out as she falls to the ground.

"Ali!" Jason yells as he bends down to see if she is okay.

Kenneth hears the yelling and runs out to see what is going on. He sees Alison on the ground holding her arm to her chest and Jason standing over her. "Jason, what did you do?!" He screams in his face.

"Dad.. I-I didn't do anything…I"

Alison cuts him off, "It was an accident… I was trying to help and my wrist bent back… and popped!" She tells him trying not to cry.

Kenneth scooped her up and started walking towards the car with Jason following behind. He turned around, "Go tell your mother, I'm talking her to the emergency room." He tells Jason, who stands there looking lost. "Now!" Kenneth bellows.

As they enter the emergency department Kenneth has Alison wrapped protectively under his arm. He steps up to the lady at the desk, "My daughter broke her wrist, I think." He says in a panicked voice.

"Fill out these forms and have a seat." She says in a monotone matter.

"Please, she is in a lot of pain! Isn't there anything you can do?" Kenneth asks in slight desperation.

"Fill out the forms and someone will be with her shortly." She says in the same tone.

Kenneth was starting to get really upset, "Look, I can pay whatever…"

"Daddy, I'm okay. Let's fill out the forms." Alison says trying to defuse the situation.

He smiles at her, "Okay baby girl." He says taking the clipboard and helping Alison sit down in one of the chairs in the small waiting room.

He fills out all the information and takes the papers back to the women. He sits down and puts his arm around Alison gently and she lays her head on his chest. "Do you need anything Al?" He says sweetly.

"No, I'm alright dad." She says trying to smile at him.

"I'm so sorry baby, first day of summer and you are already hurt." He says in an apologetic tone.

"It's okay daddy… it was an accident." She tells him sounding surer than she felt. It was an accident, if she wouldn't have made her mom so angry…

"Alison DiLaurentis?" A tall nurse with salt and pepper hair asks from the door to the ER.

"That's us!" Kenneth says helping Ali up from the chair and to the door.

"What's your birthday dear?" He asks with kind brown eyes.

"July 22, 1994."

"Okay," he says looking at the paper. "I'm Sam and I will be your nurse tonight." He says with a smile. They walk down the hall to a room and he pulls back the curtain, "Please have a seat on the bed," He says moving into the room.

Kenneth helps her up and onto the bed and sits in the chair next to her.

"So what happened to your wrist?" He asks standing in front of the computer to type.

"I was h-helping my brother split wood and when I went to hit it, it vibrated up my wrist and there was a loud pop." She says nervously.

"Okay…" He says typing some quick notes. "What's your pain at on a scale of 1-10, one being no pain and ten is the worst pain you've ever felt."

She thinks for a minute, "It's really not that bad… a four I guess."

"Do you mind if I look at it and take your vitals?" He asks gently.

"Sure." She says smiling at his kindness.

He put a blood pressure cuff on and took her temperature. Then he took her wrist gently looking at it and when he touched it Alison hiss in pain. "Sorry dear." He says as he sets it down gingerly. "Your blood pressure is pretty high; do you want something for the pain?"

Alison's eyes are watering from the pain and she nods her head yes not trusting her voice. Kenneth squeezes her leg gently in comfort.

"Are you allergic to any medications?" He asks her.

She looks to her dad who shakes his head, "None that we know of."

"Alright, I'll get you some pain meds and the doc should be in shortly." He says patting Alison's shoulder lightly.

She smiles, "Thank you!"

"No problem!" He says closing the curtain.

The doctor came in right after and sent her down to x-ray to see if there was a break. Sam brought the pain meds before the x-ray technician came to get her. When she got back she was pretty groggy from the pain meds and fell asleep with her dad holding her left hand.

About an hour later the doctor came in and got Kenneth and took him into the hall to talk with him as not to disturb Alison. "The x-ray shows a pretty significant break, are you sure she did this splitting wood?" She asks in concern.

"I was down on the beach and heard her brother yell out and when I came over she was lying on the ground holding her wrist." He tells her sincerely.

"Okay… I would just keep an eye out for any other injuries in the future, to be on the safe side." She tells him believing that he didn't do anything to hurt Alison. "Unfortunately we need to keep her over night and have a Specialist look at the x-ray in the morning." She tells him, "She's going to need surgery."

Kenneth looks dumbfounded. 'S-Surgery?" He asks.

"Yes, the break will not heal on its own, now we need to see if we can fix it completely or if there will be a deficit."

Kenneth's head is spinning, "Thank you, doctor." He says shaking her hand.

Sam returns and tells them, they have a semi-private room open for her on the children's ward.

Kenneth gently wakes Ali and lets her know what's going on. They allow him to come along to her room and sit with her for a little bit before he had to leave so Alison could get some rest.

The next morning Kenneth was there before Alison even woke up. The specialist came and introduced himself to Ali and her dad. "Hi I am Dr. Langford." He says shaking Kenneth's hand.

"I am Kenneth DiLaurentis and this is my daughter Alison." He says kindly.

"Well I have you schedule for surgery in an hour." He says looking at Alison. "We will take you down shortly to start an IV and get you comfortable."

Alison nods her head, "What all needs to be done?" She asks nervously.

"We need to put a plate and several screws to set your wrist." He tells her showing on his own wrist were they would put everything.

Alison paled a little but nodded her head as her dad rubbed her back for support.

A nurse came in to bring Alison down for surgery. "You can come with us Mr. DiLaurentis the nurse said with a smile.

"I'll see you down there!" Dr. Langford tells her lightly patting her shoulder.

The surgery goes well and Alison is sent back to her room and given some pain meds. Kenneth sits with her as long as he can and she sleeps most of the day. He kisses her forehead before he has to leave and tells her he will bring Jason and her mom as soon as he can. Alison winces a bit at the mention of her mother and Kenneth notices it, he decides he better try to keep an eye on her when she's around Jessica.

When Alison wakes up she feels dull pain in her right wrist and she rolls over on her side and is meet with a pair of light green eyes staring back at her.

He smiles brightly, "Howdy… I'm Jacob Carter but most people call me Jake!" He says in a southern drawl.

Alison clears her throat and sits up. "Alison DiLaurentis." She says measuring him up, he has dirty blonde hair and piercing green eyes.

"Nice to make your acquaintance." He says with a bit of southern charm.

"So what are you in for?" Alison asks a bit sarcastically.

"Unspecified abdominal pain... or better known as they have no idea what's goin' on." He says laughing a bit.

"Are you from here?" She asks curiously, his accent suggests somewhere more south.

"No, I'm originally from Georgia but we moved to Virginia a few years ago. We have a cabin here near the beach." He tells her.

"Really?" She says, "My family has a cabin on the beach." She smiles at him; he seems like a nice guy.

"Where abouts?" He asks kindly.

"It's the three storey one off Shore Drive."

"I know the one; there usually some pretty wild hoedowns there. Ours is five houses down from you." He says with a chuckle.

"You should come to our end of summer cook out and bonfire. " She suggests deciding he's not so bad, maybe they can be friends.

"Sounds like fun." He says before yawning.

"Get some sleep cowboy." She says with a smile.

"You should too little lady." He says with a wink as he pretends to tip a cowboy hat.

That summer Alison and Jake hung out almost every day. He even went with her to her physical therapy as comic relief to help her through the tough days. They hang out at the beach or go to the lighthouse at night to watch the ships pass by and look at the stars. They'd take long wakes on the beach and talk about their hopes and dreams. Alison even confided in him about her mother and how scared she was of her and how she recently became violent towards her. She also told him about the girls and how close they were and about each of their unique quirks and personalities.

They were practically inseparable and on the last day of summer he made sure to come to the bonfire party. Alison's parents had returned to Rosewood the day before so that left the cabin to Alison and Jason. The party started at sundown and every sleazy guy Jason knew was there. Alison was desperately looking for Jake everywhere but she couldn't find him.

Jason's friends are either high or drunk, or in some case both and Alison has been trying to avoid them at all costs. Unfortunately one of them corners her outside the shed. "Hey Al-i!" Ian says trying to grab her.

"H-Hey Ian…" She says trying to side step him but her wraps his arm around her neck.

"H-Haven't you grown up nice!" He says hiccupping as he pulls her in.

"Let me go Ian!" She yells trying to push him off but her right wrist isn't as strong as it used to be.

"Oh come on Ali… you're wearing a string bikini and these… tiny booty shorts," He says putting his hands on her hips roughly. "It's not nice to t-tease!"

He kisses her neck roughly, "Ian stop!" She screams.

He laughs, and then he hears a low southern voice, "I think the little lady made it clear that she wants you to leave her alone." Jake says with a growl.

Ian turns around still holding onto Alison "Who the fuck do you think you are? Mind your own damn business!" He says as he takes a swing at Jake.

Jake ducks and his cowboy hat falls to the ground. Ian releases Alison and focuses on Jake and takes another wild swing, Jake throws a left and it connects right into Ian's nose. Blood pours from his nose and he cusses before running off with his tail between his legs.

Alison bends down and picks up Jake's hat and dusts it off before handing it to Jake. "Here cowboy, you lost your hat." She says with a smile.

He takes it with a small nod and a smile, "Thank you kindly little lady." He says as he puts it back on his head.

"Thank you for helping me with that douche bag," She says angrily.

"You are very welcome… sorry I was late, my mom needed help packing the house up so we can leave in the morning." He says with a small frown.

Alison lifts his chin and kisses his cheek, "I'm just glad that you came when you did!" She smiles at him, her blue eyes sparkled.

They walked on the beach away from the loud jackasses making fools of themselves, they could her the faint voice of one of the drunk losers calling for Alison.

"Are they always this bad?" He asks kindly.

"Sometimes worse…" She says looking down at the sand as they walk.

"On behalf of the male species, I surely do apologize." He says with slight bit more southern charm.

"You are too sweet Jake!" She says with a giggle.

"Did they… did they hurt you?" He asks afraid to know the answer.

"They've tried but my friends are usually around for protection." She tells him missing the girls.

As they walk for a bit they come up on Jake's house and he stops at the shed. He pulls out a big blanket and some towels, He laid out the blanket on the beach and folded the towels into make shift pillows. "Will you sleep under the stars with me?" He asks so innocently.

Alison smiles and nods as the lay down and stare at the stars. Alison snuggles up to Jake and he puts his arm around her. They talk for a bit before falling asleep under the beautiful sky.

The next morning the exchange numbers with the promise of texting each other as often as possible and talking at least a few times a month.
