Ezra watched out the window at the care leaving before looking to Melissa. "Nicely done. Now she thinks you are going to help her. Let's start with Phase two." He said smirking looking to Melissa who gave him a smirk. Now the game was getting good.
Mel looked at everyone in the room around her knowing what was going to happen next. She would go home pretend to help the girls but get them lost in the woods. But part of her didn't want to. That was her sister and even though they had so many problems, she still loved and cared for her sister. Mona continued talking about different ways to carry out the plan before Mel stood up. "I need to get home. Take care of the next part of the plan. Ill text you when it's done." She said before she grabbed her things and headed out of the apartment. Toby and Wren looked to each other before shrugging it off.
Hanna, Caleb, Spencer, Aria, and Emily all sat on Hanna's floor trying to figure out what to do now. It was late and they all were worn out. But until Jason was home and safe, aria wasn't sleeping. There was no way she would when all she could think about was getting him home. Telling him how she really felt. She knew she had feelings for him and knowing he had been kidnapped made her want to make sure he knew.
"You should get some sleep Aria. We will get him home." Caleb told the girl, but the glare he received made him wish he hadn't said anything. He sighed and stood up looking to them. "I need sleep then. If something happens wake me up. Good night ladies." He told Hanna kissing her head before he left the room and headed to the guest room, going to bed. Spencer looked to her phone seeing it light up. "It's Mel." She said before opening the text. "He's at the play ground in the woods. She said to hurry before Ezra changes his mind about letting him go. She can't tell us anything else, she's leaving town." Spencer said confused. She wanted to ask her sister more but she knew right now, they needed to get Jason home.
"Do you think Caleb would mind us taking his car?" Aria asked as they all stood up. Hanna looked to the keys before grabbing them. "Don't worry. He will understand. He won't be happy we went without him. But he will understand." Hanna said, as they all slipped heir jackets on. The four girls left the house quietly and made their way to Caleb's car. They quickly drove towards the play ground, fear in Aria that it would be too late to get to him.
The second the car was in park aria bolted out of it and made her way in to the play ground looking around it. "JASON?!" She yelled out looking for him. The four of them split up and started covering as much ground as they could.
"I found him." Emily yelled to them. They all ran towards Jason and Aria knelt down beside him checking his pulse first. She let a sigh out glad to see him alive still. She shook him gently trying to get him to wake up. After a few minutes and saying his name a few times, Jason opened his eyes looking to them.
"Is it too late for that run?" He asked giving her a half smile. The four girls laughed glad to see him ok.
"Well isn't this cute." A deep voice said from behind them. Turning around, Aria saw Ezra, Toby, and Mona standing there.
"I knew Melissa would back out and tell you were he was." Ezra said smirking crossing his arms over his chest. Aria stood in front of the other three girls, all of them doing their best to protect Jason.
"Why are you doing this Ezra? You told me you loved me. And then you are A? Why?" Aria asked him watching as he laughed. She felt her heart shatter. How did she ever love him, she would never know.
"Don't you get it Aria? I wanted revenge. I wanted you four to pay for what she did." He told her harshly. "It worked out so nicely that I wasn't alone in that. Ian and Melissa were great help when I first moved here. Mona was perfect and then Toby. Who would have ever thought Toby would be guilty when he was cleared? It was just too perfect." He said looking to her.
"Who killed Ali?" Hanna asked as Jason stood up, now interested in the conversation.
"You think that Aria was the first student I ever did anything with? I met Ali when she went on vacation with Ian. We kept it all a secret and enjoyed the fun we had. Then she decided I was too old for her. She wanted one of her little friends back home. I was pissed. So I put in an application at the high school and was glad I got the job. Ian knew who I was due to Ali's big mouth and he came to me with an idea. Mona and Toby were just pure luck." Ezra said avoiding the question that was asked.
"Who. Killed. My. Sister?" Jason asked pissed. Ezra smirked looking to him.
"I did. Ian took her here, Mona followed with me in the car. It was all perfect. It was nice to watch the life drain from her eyes. The bitch got what she deserved." Ezra said as he looked to him. Jason started moving towards Ezra wanting to kill him but Aria put her hand out stopping him, knowing if he went over there, there was no way he could come back alive.
"Ali turned you down for one of us?" Spencer asked looking to Ezra wanting to put it all together. "It was Emily. That's all the little bitch would talk about. Emily this, Emily that. It was nice to finally kill her and shut her up." Ezra said smirking. Emily felt the tears in her eyes, her heart completely broken. Ezra went to open his mouth to say something but stopped seeing the flashing lights around them.
"Ezra Fitz, Mona Vanderwaal you are under arrest for the murder of Alison Dilaurentis." Toby said pulling out the cuffs in his back pocket smirking as he put them on them. "It's so fucking nice to finally say that to you both." He told them as uniformed officers came over cuffing them, before they were lead away.
"Hanna!"Caleb yelled running towards them all. Hanna fell in to his arms crying. Everything was too much. "How did you know?" She asked holding on to him as he pulled Emily close to seeing she looked ready to fall. "Melissa called me. Told me what was going on. Not seeing my car was all I needed to call the cops. I knew something was going on when you didn't answer your phone." He said holding her close as Hanna hugged Emily.
Spencer moved away from her friends looking to Toby as he handed over the wire he wore to the cops. "You were wired?" She asked so confused. "I couldn't tell you anything in fear it got out. When I came back, I went to the cops and told them all I knew. I was able to go undercover and get all the information they needed for an arrest." He told her watching her. "I never hurt anyone. I did it to get them to confess so things would be normal for you and them again." He told her. Spencer brought her hand up and slapped him before she started crying falling in to his arms. She was just glad it was over and he wasn't what she thought he was.
Jason looked to Aria watching her for a few minutes. "I guess I should say thank you?" He asked her a small smile on his face. "I'm just glad you are ok. But there is so much I need to tell you. How much I like you, how scared I was when you were gone, how I had no idea what to do or if I would ever see you again. Jason I like you a lot. And I don't.." Aria was cut off when his lips pressed against hers and his arms wrapped around her waist. The kiss was so much better than she ever thought it would be and she couldn't wait for more. Pulling back she hugged him close relaxing as he rubbed her back. The seven of them piled in to Caleb's car and Toby's bike and headed back towards Hanna's. The nightmare was over and they couldn't wait to finally get some sleep.
Three Months Later
"Teacher and Student Charged in the Murder of Alison Dilaurentis, Sentenced to Life in Prison"
Aria put down the news paper and closed her eyes. It was all finally over and they would be able to finally move on with their lives. Looking around the table at the coffee shop she smiled seeing her friends happy.
Hanna and Caleb were finally out in the open and planning a life together now that high school was over. They were going to college together, Hanna in Fashion and Caleb in Computer software technology, and would be leaving for New York at the end of the month. It was going to be sad when July was over but it wouldn't be long before they were all together again. Aria loved the way they looked at each other and knew that she would be at their wedding before 5 years was up.
Spencer and Toby sat arguing over some school assignments before he kissed her to shut her up. After Toby explained why he did it, the four girls accepted him in quickly and were glad he got along with them all. Toby and Spencer planned to get a place together in New York since Spencer was accepted in to Columbia. She got in to Harvard as well but now, it wasn't that important to her. She wanted to be near everyone and the medicine program was amazing at Columbia. Toby got a job at a security place and was going to go in to the police academy when he turned 20.
Emily and Paige sat beside Hanna and Caleb talking about swimming and how excited they were to start college. After finding out that Ali wanted her, Emily was broken. She loved her best friend more than anything and she was crushed for weeks. But Paige was beside her the entire time and helped her get through it. Both had been accepted in to NYU as well and planned to move out. They were planning to live in the dorms for the first year and think about an apartment later.
Aria looked beside her seeing Jason staring at her. "Are you happy now?" He asked her smiling. She gave him a smile before kissing him softly. "Of course." They planned to move to New York as well but Aria, unlike her friends, wasn't planning to attend college. Jason got an internship at a business in New York and Aria planned to write a book. She had been inspired by all that happened to them in high school and planned to use it to make an amazing book. Jason kissed her head smiling. Aria was glad to know everything was finally falling in to place. Her friends were happy, she was happy and A/Ali's killer was locked up. They could move forward with life and have a normal life now. The four girls looked to each other smiling, knowing this was something that would bond them forever. They were no longer just best friends. They were sisters now, ready to face life, as long as they were together.
I can't believe it's over now but I'm glad with how it turned out! I plan to write more Jaria and Haleb so be on the look out! Thank you all for reading and reviewing
