Liars Best Friend

Chapter 26

The drive back from Spencer's lake house was long, yet peaceful. Alison drove as I took a nap in the passengers seat.

When we got back to Rosewood, the girls went home while I went to Ali's to hang out with her and Jason.

After a while, Alison went upstairs to take a nap while Jason and I watched a movie. Throughout the movie, I kept seeing Jason staring at me.

"What?" I asked pausing the movie.

"You're so beautiful," he responded moving some hair out of my face.

"Yeah. Well, can you please pay attention to the movie?"

"Why don't we go do something? Just the two of us."

"Because I just got back from being gone for a month. I want to stay home."

"Please," he begged. "Your leaving for Australia in about a month. I want to do something."

"Jason-"

"Candice. Come on. We haven't done anything but watch some movies since we got back together."

"We'll do something together tomorrow."

"Fine. I have to go to work anyways. See you later," he said then kissed my head leaving.

What the hell?

Instead of staying, I get in my car and drive home. I lay on the couch and slowly fall asleep.

When I wake up, I see I'm in my bed and I look around confused. Then I see Jason at the window.

After checking the time, I get up and walk towards him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked leaning against the window frame.

"Well, yesterday you said we could do something today," he said staring out the window.

"Jason, it's three in the morning. I'm not doing anything right now except going back to bed," I replied beginning to walk back to bed.

"You promised," he said angrily grabbing my arm yanking me back hard.

"Jason. Let me go," I said as he shoved me against the wall.

"Come on, let's have some fun," he said beginning to feel me.

"Are you high?" I asked.

"And drunk," he replied kissing my neck.

"Stop."

He continues.

"Please, Jason. Stop."

Continues.

"Jason," I shouted shoving him off of me. "Stop! Go home!"

"You're a little bitch you know that?" He questioned slowly coming towards me.

"Go home and go to sleep," I said as someone pulled into the driveway.

"Don't tell me what to do," he said then slapped me making me fall to the ground in shock.

Just as he's about to attack again, someone pulled him away and shoved him to the wall.

"Let me go!" Jason yelled pissed.

"Leave her alone. Get out and never talk to her again," Caleb said shoving him out of my room and out of the house as I sat on the floor in shock.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Hanna asked rushing in with Caleb behind her.

"Thank you, Caleb. For helping me," I said as Hanna helped me off the ground and hugged me.

"I saw him drunk at the brew. And I kinda followed him."

"Thank you so much," I said hugging him tightly.

"Anytime."

After all of that, Hanna took me to her place just in case Jason decided to go back to mine.

Caleb staid with us and honestly, I felt much safer because of that.

The next morning Hanna and I went to my house to pack some things so I can stay with her for a while, while Caleb was doing something for Spencer.

When we started to head back to her car, I saw Jason slowly walking towards us looking like shit.

"Drive your car, I'll follow you in mine," Hanna said protectively.

"Hanna, let's hear what he has to say then you can be my personal stalker," I smiled a little.

"Fine. But I'm going to be a bitch to him," Hanna said.

"Don't worry. So will I."

"Hey, Candice. Can we talk?" Jason asked once he reached us.

"Sure. Start," I replied putting my bag in my car.

"Privately?"

"No," Hanna and I said in unison.

"I'm so sorry about what happened last night," he started. "I-I can't even tell you how much it hurt me of what I did."

"Why were you high?"

"What?"

"You were high and drunk," I explained. "Why?"

"I don't know. I think I wanted to forget that you were leaving-"

"Next month!" Hanna exclaimed. "Jason, she's not leaving for another month! You verbally and physically abused Candice. She begged me not to call the police and I listened."

"Hanna-" I started.

"No! Jason, if you come near Candice again, I will call the cops and have then arrest you. Got it?"

"Yeah," he said then looked at me.

"In case it isn't clear. We're over. And I never want to see you again," I said then got in my car driving away.
