this imagine is for @LivRoss26
i hope u like this but disclaimer: i didn't keep up with the last two seasons so im a little fuzzy and things may not be entirely accurate
A lot has happened these last few days.
A.D's identity has been revealed. The girls and I learned more secrets than we ever have. The game is now over. We're safe. We're okay and we're safe.
But now, after all these years of confusion and dread and hurt, we're going our separate ways. Hanna will no longer be a phone call away. Spencer won't be there to lend me knowledgeable advice. Emily can't encourage me like she always has. Aria will be too far away to comfort me. And Ali is going to be too busy to remind me of my strength. Things are changing.
But out of all the changes occurring in my life, I hope Jason will remain a constant. He's the love of my life, the light in my darkness. We balance each other out. I've been pretty distance lately though. It's just that, I've witnessed so much hurt and pain and loss that I'd rather just push Jason away then giving him the opportunity to hurt me. It's irrational and backwards but at the moment, that's my logic.
As I'm doing my makeup, I look down at my phone to see a text from Jason.
Brew in 15?
A smile appears on my face at his name and I reach down and grab my phone, texting him back.
Sounds good 💗
I quickly rush to finish up my makeup, get dressed and make my way down to The Brew. God, that cafe holds so many memories. Some are good while others are bad but all in all, it means a lot to me. It's a staple of Rosewood and my life.
As I walk down the street I spot Jason sitting outside, sipping his coffee. He turns slightly and sees me and within seconds, he's enveloping me into a tight hug. I grip onto his shirt and sway back and forth. Jason helps to keep me sane. He's the one thing in my life I can rely on for love.
"I'm sorry for not being around. I just needed to go away for a little. But I'm back now. I'm okay." I explain into his shoulder, his hand on the back of my head.
"It's okay babygirl. Don't apologize for taking care of yourself. I get it. You needed time."
After our small reunion, I join him at the table outside as he goes into The Brew to get me a coffee as well. As Jason returns with my coffee, silence soon fills the spaces between us.
"Olivia," he begins. "A-are you okay?"
I take the time to really let his question process in my brain. Am I okay? I mean, I've been overwhelmed with all the revelations and the recent events but I think I'm finally on my way to being okay.
"I think so." I answer truthfully. For the first time in a long time, I genuinely am okay.
"So Jason, what's next?" I ask.
He looks at me and a smirk plays at his lips. For such a long time, our life and the decisions we made revolves around A. But now that everything is over, what comes next?
"I'm thinking that maybe we could finally leave Rosewood. For good."
I can't help the stupidly big grin that grows on my face at the thought of leaving all this behind. All these years one of the only things that kept Jason and I going was the fact that one day, we'd leave. We would leave and never come back. We could leave behind all the pain and secrets and torment and just go.
"Really?" I ask hopefully. Jason laughs and nods his head.
"Of course. We're gone Olivia. We don't have to stay here anymore."
His words are music to my ears. They fill my heart with happiness and excitement and giddiness. I feel free again.
"You know I love you right?" Jason asks while looking up, a serious expression present on his face. I nod at his question. "I just, I've done so much stupid shit and I don't want you to ever doubt how much I love you. I'll love you forever Olivia."
"I'll love you forever too Jason." I say, my voice breaking slightly due to my heightened emotions. And Jason will in fact always have my love and my heart. I don't even think I could stop loving him if I wanted to. And that's part of what scared me. It scared the hell out of me that a person had so much control over me.
"Where do we go?" I ask in reference to what he said.
"Anywhere you want to, love."
And with that, Jason and I left Rosewood behind. It now exists in our memory, in the very back of our minds. We'll always remember the town. It's impossible to forget. The relationships we made there will last our lifetime. And if for some reason we need to return to Rosewood, it will be there to welcome us back in its strange embrace.
