Sparia one-shots

What'd you do?

The slam of the cell door sent a shiver up Aria's spine, the harsh reality of her imprisonment shaking her to the very core more than she had expected it would. Without taking her eyes off of the floor she sat down on the lower bunk of the beds and put her head in her hands as she willed herself not to cry, not to show any weakness. 

A raspy voice echoed across the room from the small metal desk that was bolted to the floor. " The bottom bunk is mine, yours is the top." A tall and mysterious looking girl stated knowingly but didn't even look up from where she was busy writing a letter, presumably to a family member.

"Sorry, I didn't know." Aria whispered quietly as she began to stand up. That was when her cell mate finally looked up to see the girl, not once had she heard someone utter an apology whilst in prison, nobody cared enough. She was blown away by the sight of the younger girl, she was beautiful with her raven coloured hair cascading down to just below her shoulders and her gorgeous pools of hazel drowning in sadness and self-pity. 

"No, It's fine. I can take the top if you want." She said, feeling the overwhelming need to make the new girl's sadness disappear forever. "I'm Spencer, your cell mate."

"I'm not going to take your bed Spencer, It's just been a long day that's all." Aria says, the fatigue evident in her voice. Aria then proceeds to attempt to climb onto the top bunk but misses a rung in the ladder in her tiredness. She panics as she begins to fall but is caught by a pair of slim but strong arms. It takes her a few seconds to catch her bearings and when she does she is mesmerised by the intense beauty of her cell mate, unable to take her eyes off her as she whispers, "I'm Aria by the way."

"Well Aria, I think you just fell for me." Spencer smirks as she lays Aria down on the bottom bunk. "I'm taking the top, you're probably the biggest klutz I've ever met."

"Thanks." Aria says, really meaning it. She looks up at Spencer once more as she wiggles into a sitting position. "I didn't know that anyone in prison could actually be nice."

"There is a few, you just have to know where to look. To be completely honest, you're the first person that i have actually had a conversation with that isn't just a guard." Spencer takes a seat next to Aria and they lean against the wall. "You don't seem like the kind of person to be in prison either though. What'd you do?"

"I thought you weren't supposed to ask people that." Aria said, confused.

"You're not but just between us, I think we can let that rule pass, especially since we are cell mates for a while."

"Last year I had a crazy boyfriend. His name was Ezra Fitz. He hated it when I did anything he didn't like, he controlled everything that I did, what I wore, who I spoke to. And he hated my parents, he forbid me from ever seeing them." Aria couldn't meet Spencer's eyes as she told her story. "I ignored him and started to sneak around so I could still see them but he found out. i thought he would beat me like he usually did but instead he killed them. That sick bastard killed my family, I'm just grateful that my brother wasn't there too."

"Aria you don't have to tell me this." Spencer reassured but Aria cut her off.

"He was arrested a few days later and his trial came up a month ago. He got away with it, he had a good lawyer with a personal vengeance against my father so I took matters into my own hands. I caved his head in with a hammer. Shattered his skull in just a few swings, but the worst part is that I don't regret any of it."

"Wow, that is not where I was expecting that to story to go." Spencer looked shocked and even slightly impressed. "I guess it's my turn now. Two years ago I got into drugs, I'm clean now but it was an addiction. I had to get my fix and din't have enough money so I beat the shit out of a dealer and stole his whole stash, he called the police and now I'm here. He got arrested himself for possession but then he got murdered after he got out a year later. Somehow they managed to accuse me and said that I had hired someone, I hadn't but I wish I did."
