Pretty little liars Growing up

ch. 25: down memory lane

It's 9:30 in the morning Ava is sitting at the desk behind the bed (that you see in the picture of their room) writing in her diary about what happened last night and she's writing fast and Claire stands over her shoulder and sees that she's writing fast

'geez babe slow down your arm is gonna fall off' Claire says, She laughs Ava stops writing

'I'm just worried about what you said last night' Ava says, Claire leans up against the desk

'ok i said a lot of things last night, which one are you talking about?' Claire asks

'about putting Jeremy's head through the wall' Ava says

'ok I can see how that worries you but i was just joking ok I can't really Do that, I'm not that strong' Claire says, Ava looks at her

'sometimes it's hard for me to tell when you're serious or just kidding' Ava says, Claire leans into her

'if i don't laugh and have my bitch look on then I'm serious but if I laugh after I said something then I'm just kidding' Claire says

'i guess that helps but if you do visit him can you please take Addison with you' Ava says

'ok that part i was serious about because i don't know what he's gonna do' Claire says

'right' Ava says

'so is your mind at ease now?' Claire asks, Ava smiles

'yeah it is' Ava says

'well it won't be for awhile now' Claire says

'why?' Ava asks

'because Mona is coming tonight to make her dish that you like so well because I just told her that you was down and she said that she would come all the way out here to make it for you because that's how much she loves you' Claire says

'awe she is too sweet' Ava says

'Mona does have a big heart she just let's certain people in it so that she doesn't get hurt she did it to Aria at first' Claire says

'right i think we all can understand why she does that' Ava says

'yeah mainly me because i been there too' Claire says

'hey remember last night that you said that junior year was a bad year for all of us?' Ava asks

'yeah because it was' Claire says

'i get that i really do but take a step back and look at the good things that we got out of it, Addison and Caitlin got together, we both got justice, and you and me got together, and I still don't know how you had a crush on me I'm still trying to figure that one out' Ava says

'I'm trying to figure out how Addison and Caitlin got together?' Claire asks, Ava smiles

'that one too' Ava says, Claire puts her back against the desk and crosses her arms and sighs

'the best answer that i can give you is that out of Caitlin and Dylan and before Addison actually came into the picture, you was the only one who kept me on the ground literally' Claire says, Ava smiles

'the thing that made me draw towards you is that if you embarrass yourself you just laugh and didn't care what others thought' Ava says

'i only did that when you guys was down, I remember one night me, you, and Caitlin was a girl's night...' Claire starts saying

'oh god!?, please don't remind about that night!?' Ava says, Claire laughs

'how did you mange to get on that flag pole?' Claire asks

'i honestly don't know maybe my alter ego got in the way' Ava says

'what would yin name it?' Claire asks

'lets see...' Ava starts saying, She starts thinking and one comes to mind

'how about S&C?' Ava asks

'what does that stand for?' Claire asks

'sweet and crazy' Ava says

'can we see you more crazy or not?' Claire asks

'Yeah, but how does it feel to be free of all this Jeremy shit?' Ava asks

'um weird but i feel I need to watch my back and your guys too, how about you' Claire says

'A little bit on edge because you never know what's to happen next' Ava says

'I'll visit Jeremy once in a great while' Claire says

'Ok' Ava says

'and bring Addison a long too' Ava says

'right' Claire says, then Mona gets there

So after dinner Mona and Claire are sitting outside in front of Claire's and Ava's room Mona is drinking wine, Mona looks at Claire and can tell that something is on her mind

'hey what's going on up there?' Mona asks, Claire smiles

'it still amazes me that you can read people easily' Claire says, Mona smiles

'always will, so what's up?' Mona asks, Claire looks at her

'don't tell Ava that I'm telling you this?' Claire asks

'you know me, I kept all of your secrets, so lay it on me' Mona says

'did Ava tell you guys that she was rape a couple of years ago?' Claire says

'yeah we knew about it and we didn't tell you that we knew is because Ava told us not to because she knew what you would have done to whoever did to her and we still don't know who did it to her' Mona says, Claire looks at her

'i do because she told me last night' Claire says, Mona looks at her

'who did it to her?' Mona asks

'Jeremy' Claire says, Mona's eyes winded

'Really?' Mona asks

'Yeah' Claire says, then Ava walks out and looks at Mona

'I'm gonna go and help Caitlin and Addison with the dishes' Mona says

'Ok' Claire says, Mona gets up and leaves and Ava looks out into the ocean

'How you feeling?' Claire asks

'I'm worried about Dylan' Ava says

'I know I am too' Claire says

'Hopefully Jeremy roots in hell' Ava says

'Or the electric chair' Claire says

'Do they still have those?' Ava asks

'I think some states do' Claire says

'I know they have the shot' Ava says

'Also in some states' Claire says

'I'm gonna head inside' Ava says

'Ok' Claire says, ava goes inside

Downstairs in the kitchen

'I told Caitlin and ava i was helping you guys just pretend I am' Mona says

'How's ava doing?' Caitlin says

'She seems like she's trying to hold herself together without breaking down' Mona says

'She's going to break at some point' Addison says

'Probably once she sees Jeremy again' Mona says

'Alright the dishes are done' Caitlin says

'You guys head up I'll wash mine' Mona says, they nod

'Night mona' Caitlin says, they head upstairs

'Night guys' Mona says to both of them, Mona finishes her wine and washes her glass then she heads up to bed just like the others
