Chapter 3: Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow

Aria's POV

As soon as I saw layla's unconscious body, I instantly ran to her and told Jason to call 911 and then our parents. Once we got to the hospital, I told Jason to go only because she wouldn't want to see him after earlier. Then I texted the girls what happened. They came about 15 minutes after. I wanted to test ll them what happened between Jason and I, but I thought that layla wouldn't be okay with that. Besides there are secrets that only layla and I know. Like how I almost my V-card to Noel. Or how she lost hers to Jason just the previous night. Once the girls, my parents, and Mike got here, I went over to the girls and gave them a big hug. The nurse called my parents over there and Mike came over and asked sounding very worried,"What happened? Is she going to be alright?"

"Mike don't worry she's going to be fine," said Spencer as if she was his older sister.

layla's POV

When I woke all I saw was my parents, Mike, Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily outside by the door. Then soon enough they all came in and asked if I was okay. Once the girls, my parents, and Mike left, it was just Aria sitting in the chair next to my bed. She looked deep in thought so I decided not to disturb her. She finally said,"I'm so sorry for earlier I ju-"

"You just what? I interrupted,"Wanted to see if Jason is a good kisser?"

"No it's not like that I just wanted to thank him for doing something for your late birthday."

"Who thanks people with a kiss? A simple gift would be fine or even just coffee," I said raised my voice a little bit. But honestly a kiss is not a good gift to give to your sister's boyfriend. After awhile of silence she just said,"Bye," and left with a couple tears going down her face. The next few days were kind of the same routine. People visiting, me eating, the doctor coming in to check on me, and then sleeping. The sixth day I was in there, the nurse said,"You have a visitor. A boyfriend maybe?" Then she let him in. I figured that it would be Jason.

He went to the chair next to my bed and said,"I'm so sorry for what happened the other day."

"And I'm sorry for becoming your girlfriend," I said sarcastically muttered.

"Oh I never knew you regretted being with me. Well then, I guess I have no business here then," he said sadly.

"Wait Jason please don't leave." Tears were in my eyes.

"Why not leave I'm not welcomed anyways," he said like he meant it. But I knew he didn't. Well hopefully he didn't. After that someone came in probably because they saw Jason leave. When I turned around to look who it was, Aria just came to me with her arms open and her signature sympathetic look. We were in this small but long hug. She wiped my tears with her fingers and asked,"What happened?"

"He came in and said he was sorry but I just acted like I was still angry at him which I was a little. I think I went to drastic by saying that I was sorry that I became his girlfriend. So after that he said that he wasn't aware of that and he had no business here. Then he left but I begged him to stay," I said with tears streaming down my face. Every so often Aria would wipe my tears off with her finger.

"Tell you what. I'll get mom to take us somewhere outside of Rosewood. That way you don't have to be reminded of something."

"That sounds great!" I said with a smile and some tears.

"Oh and by the way the doctor said you'll get out tomorrow," Aria said a little excited.

Jason's POV

Once I left that room I felt instantly guilty of everything that happened last week. When I reached my car, I slammed my fist into the hood of the car and said,"Fuck!" I had to get her back somehow. So I called my expert love advisor, Garret. He always told me that he thought Addy was hot. That's why we created the N.A.T Club. So we could spy on teenage girls. I know, I know we were pervs. But what teenage boy isn't?

~Flashback~

July 2005

The girls had just gone up back to Ali's room after playing truth or dare without the dares. "That layla girl is HOT!" Garrett said quiet enough that only the three of us could hear him.

"Yeah, she's something," I said smiling while picturing layla's smiling face in my mind.

"Hey I know what we should do," said Ian mischievously.

"What?" both Garrett and I said.

"Let's make a club where we spy on teenage girls. We'll name it the N.A.T Club. It stands for Nos Animadverto Totus in Latin which is We See All in English."

"It's creepy that you know all that but I guess I'm in," I said a little freaked out.

"Diddo," Garrett said tiredly.
