Forever & Always

Giving Hints

Alison's POV

"Hey Jason, got a minute?" I asked as I peaked in his bedroom door. "Yeah, sure come in, what's up?" He asks as he sits up on his bed. "Listen, I need to ask you something..Something about you." I said moving forward, to sit on his side. "Okay, ask away. I know er' thing bout myself." Jason replies.

I stop for a second, then looked at him. "Jason, why did you have a document of Bethany Young from Radley..?" I ask awkwardly trying not to break my eye contact with him. It was no use since he looked down, and up again to smile at me. "Jason it's not funny. Just answer my damn question." I insisted.

"Ali." Jason said raising both her eyebrows. "And when you said you got shot in your right leg. Who shot it Jason? The police? Or was it Spencer?!?" My voice was getting louder and louder by the second. Jason's face started to write the words 'guilty' on his forehead. "Answer me Jason! NOW!" I finally stood up from his bed and looked directly at him. "Okay, okay." Jason started. "I'm sorry." He ended. I broke out, and I started crying unconditionally.

"Ali, I'm sorry, I didn't-I didn't want this to happen.." Jason hesitated looking so guilty that his face turned red. "Oh my god, so it is you.." I cried out. I looked back and hurried to his door, but he grabbed my arm and stopped me. "You're A! Get away from me!! I hate you!" I shrieked. I had all these flashbacks and emotions that I can see what A did to me, my family, and my friends.

The fact that, A killed my mother. And the fact that A almost killed Emily. And finding out that, that was my brother, is the worst thing in the world really. Because all your life, you would trust your brother with anything, and you just suddenly find out that he's someone you thought he wasn't. And has been lying straight to your face all this freaking time. Wow.

"Alison, stop! Okay, I'm not A!" He explains as he let's go of me. "Then who are you!" I screamed at him. "My brother?!?" I continued. "No, cause if you were my brother, you wouldn't be doing all this crap to me right now! You wouldn't try to kill my friends, or kill your own mother.. So yeah. Who even are you!?" I say as I run put of breath.

"Alison, just let me explain.." Jason says. "There's nothing to say Jason, you've already showed me enough." I say as I walked out and slammed the door in his face.

----------------------------

'Hey Alison. Where are you?' A text from Emily came up. I wasn't really in the mood to text but I figured I should since it's Emily.

'Hey, in my room. Why' I text back. After a few minutes of sitting, doing nothing, she finally replies. 'Listen, Jason just called me.' After I saw that text, I immediately assumed Jason was going to confess and say sorry. 'Yea, he's A. I know. I better get out of my house right now, or he'll kill me. It doesn't even matter Em, because I'm done.'

'Alison, Look, he's not A okay. Just it's hard to explain. Why don't you just try and talk to him for me, and you'll understand. For me?' Emily texts back.

'Ugh why are you so against me on this one!' I text.

'Because, not everything you assume is right! You have to at-least find out what really happened not just blame it to a person who clearly is just a victim. K. Now go talk to him. Love you babe, bye! xoxox' Emily responds once more.

'Fine, luv u too<3' I reply.

Finally, I got out of my bed, and walked into Jason's room. "Hey." I said.

"Alison, I'm not A, okay." He started, "Why won't you just let me talk?" He asks defensively. I walked towards him and say down, ready to listen.

"I was forced. I don't know who he is, but he threatened me. He said if I don't do what he says, he'll kill Dad, and you. One time I tried to stop myself from doing something he wanted me to do, but it didn't turn out pleasant. He got dad to be in a car accident, I don't know how, but he did. And now, I just can't take that risk for you. I was clearly giving you hints already.. I pointed out where Spencer shot me, and I told you I was going to pick up something and I left the envelop open, in my room. I meant for you to find out Ali."

He stopped to catch his breath then continued..

"Trust me when I say this.. I'm sorry for stabbing Emily, I didn't want that. But I had to. I'm sorry I messed up, I know I was wrong, but if I the choice of being right or protecting you.. I'll always be wrong every time. I don't know who A is, but I'll find out, and when I do, I swear I'll kill hi-"

I cut him off right then. I said, "Jason, okay. I get it."

"Sooooo.. I'm forgiven?" He says lightly giving out a small smile and curling his shoulder reaching his ear.

"You stabbed my girlfriend you doof. It's gonna take more than that to be forgiven.." I explained, teasing him.

"Ice cream?" He asks.

Right when he said that, I acted like a kinder gardener, and smiled my ass off, and said..

"Maybe...."
