The IT girl (Pretty Little Liars)

Chapter 8: Troubles in A Paradise

'Wow, Em that was so close, it's a good thing that Lucy is so open and honest with these things', I said while I was at her place. 'Yes, a very good thing, I am so glad that it's all done', Emily said. 'Em, all done, did you not read the text, it's far from over. Next time we won't be so lucky I am afraid, I hope Spencer has learned more from Melissa, Em, why is your laptop like that', I asked. Emily's stuff were gone because of her moving in at Hanna's. Her mum has left last night to Texas to be with her dad. Emily had to give the spare key with the folks who rented the house. I was looking at her laptop. 'Em, who has been in here?', I asked. 'No one, why is my hard-drive erased!', Emily asked. 'Because A has been here', I said. 'We are lost'Emily said. No we are not', I said. 'A has deleted that video', Emily said. 'What A doesn't know is that Spence and I made a copy', I said. 'Wait, what? Why did I not knew this?', Emily asked. 'Because it was clear that A has it out for you, ask Caleb if he can restore your hard-drive, he does that in a heartbeat Ems', I said. 'It was for my own good right?', Emily asked. 'It was', I replied. 'Sorry that we all kept it a secret from you', I said. 'Well then I guess it's fine that you all kept it from me', Emily said. 'Em, I am sorry', I said. 'No, don't be, you dare say sorry and your own, it's not anybody's fault that I am an easy target on A', Emily said. 'Em, your not an easy target, trust me, A messes with all of us', I said. 'but I am the weakest link', Emily said. 'According to a, not to us', I said. 'Thank you Bella, you always say the right thing', Emily said. 'Well thank you', I said taking a bow. That made Emily laugh.

'Aria, hey Aria wait, was that your mums hot new boyfriend?', I asked. 'Yes, his name is Zack, he is Emily's boss in The Brew', Aria said. 'Awesome, I bet you get free food all the time', I said. 'Sometimes', Aria said. 'Let's go', i said. 'Let's go do what?', Aria asked. 'To go to The Brew', I said. 'No, I don't want to be a stalker', Aria said. 'Ar, we are just drinking a coffee with a muffin', I said. 'No please don't'Aria said. 'Don't be a chicken Aria', I said dragging her along. 'Ah no come on, this is embarrassing ah damn too late', Aria said. 'That is what you get for being friends with me', I teased. 'You are going to be my death one day', Aria said. I smiled. 'Hey Aria, and friend', Zack said. 'Zack, do we know each other', I said with a smile. I recognized him of course. 'Yes, from the school band, Bandslam was it called, how original', Zack said. He hugged me. 'Nice to see you again', Zack said. 'How can have been in a band at your high school?', Aria asked. 'They needed a guitarist who could also play electric, a friend of my was in that high school, a cousin to be exact, he said that I was perfect for the job', Zack explained to Aria. 'How come you know everyone', Aria said. 'I don't, I just know a lot of people', I said with a grin. 'Cool', Aria said. 'Nice seeing you again Zack, can we have a free muffin to go?', I asked. 'Always, you know that', Zack said with a smile. 'You and Zack in a band, I bet my mum would love to hear about that', Aria said. 'Feel free to tell her about it hun, I have a bit surprise coming up for all of you at the end of year ball, the Christmas gala will be amazing', I said. 'Wait, I thought Spencer is the head of all that stuff?', Aria asked. 'Yes and no', I said. 'So she has no idea what is going to happen?', Aria asked. 'No, she has no clue and no I won't tell you', I said teasing her with the fact that I knew what was going to happen and she didn't.

'Oh my god Cece', I said suddenly when I saw a blond girl. 'No freaking way, Bella, so you live in Ali's old town now, I was wondering where you ran off too', Cece said. 'Aria this is Cece, Cece Aria', I said. 'Me, Bella and Alison were like the 3 musketeers. We could not be alive without each other, but it seems that we now should', Cece said. 'We should have gained more members', Cece said. 'True', I said. 'Shall we catch up later girl', I asked. 'Sure, I can really use a hand in my new shop, if you don't mind me asking', I said. 'Honey, I always help you', I said. 'Great, Aria can you maybe get your friends to help too? I can really use the extra pair of hands', Cece said. 'Sure, why not', Aria said. 'You are both live savers', Cece said.

'I told you you know everybody, so Cece was pretty close to Alison too?', Aria asked. 'Yes, and now I remember she used to date Jason', I sighted. 'Wait, what? Isn't that a girlfriend code, don't date the ex of your best friend/', Aria asked. 'Cece knew that I was into Jason, but Jason was going trough his stoner party and didn't notice me, but he did notice Cece', I said. 'How can anyone not notice her, I mean she is so intense', Aria said. 'Everything with Cece is intense', I said. 'And where you jealous at Cece for dating Jason?', Aria asked. 'Yeah, kind a put a stop on our friendship for a while, but deep down she knew that she wasn't into Jason and before she could do the breaking up part Jason did it. She said right after that she didn't want to lose our friendship and that her and Jason didn't fit and she told me that I was the one for Jason', I said. 'Wow intense', I said. 'Yes', I said. 'You have just as much secrets as Ali had', Emily said. 'The difference with Ali and me is that I am not afraid to confess my secrets and that I do trust people', I said.

At the end of the school day I went to stop by at Jason's house where I saw Cece. They were having a heated conversation.

'No, Jason you never responded to my calls, this is all on you', Cece said. 'What is on me, that it's over between us, like that is such a loss', Jason said. 'What, do you want to spend the rest of your life with that stupid high school girl Bella', Cece said. 'And I have to spend my life with you, accept the fact that I am happy with her Cece', Jason said. 'You can't admit that we are perfect for each other', Cece said. 'Accept that I am happy Cece, I don't want to be standing her and talk to you about this, I don't want to see you ever again', Jason said. 'Your body says otherwise', Jason said. 'Admit it, you want me', Cece said. Suddenly there was a huge heated moment between them when there lips touched each other and it looked like Cece was about to rip Jason's cloths apart.

I didn't realized that I was coming out of my hiding place until I saw those two looking at me like I was intruding something private. 'No, by all means, don't let me stop you', I said. 'Bella please, it was nothing', Jason said. 'It didn't looked like nothing, Cece I thought that we were friends, I guess people still surprise you', I said. 'Bella', Cece said. 'Save it, I mean I am just a dump high school student right', I said. 'Bella please', Jason said. 'Jason, we are done, you both deserve each other', I said. Before they had the chance to say anything to me I disappeared.

I was crying in my bedroom when I heard a knock at my door. It was my sister Amy. 'What's the matter?', Amy asked. 'Jason, he and Cece kissed, Cece said that I was just a dump stupid high school student', I said. 'What, I never liked Cece, but I never thought that Jason would do this to you, did you caught them?', Amy asked. 'Yes', I said. 'Damn, they both don't deserve you or your tears', Amy said. 'Your right', I said. 'I am right, that is something I have to get used to', Amy said with a smile. We hugged each other. Since when did my sis changed so much. Who of what did something with her, or what was going trough her mind right now...
