His Puffs

Disclaimer: I do not own PLL.

Prompt: Jason DiLaurentis has always had a soft spot for the girls . The night they get arrested he gets a phone call from the littlest puff and rushes to their rescue.

It was a normal Friday night when he got the phone call. As soon as he heard the request he was speeding off to the police station.

He rushed in only to be stopped by Mr. Hastings. They exchanged a few words. He glared at the man but walked out. He had no problem waiting outside, they would have to head outside to get to their car anyway.

He leaned against the hood of his car, waiting to see them. His puffs.

He pulled out his phone and made a call.

"Hey, it's Jason."

Aria was tired. It had been a long night and she and her friends were physical, mentaly, and emoionally drained. She and the girls had spents hours teling thier story, only to find out they were being accused of murderign thier best friend.

She and the girls had spent hours telling their story, only to find out they were being accused of murdering their best friend. Having the shovel with them was not a good thing.

When Wilden leered at them, taunting them with ther arrest, Spencer metally took notes to tell her father, the lawyer. After of what felt like hours of questions, they were taken to a cell.

They left the girls alone in the cell and Emily slumped against Aria. Emily was the most drained. Being unconscious did that to a person.

"Can they keep us here over night?"

"No, because our parents won't let them."

Spencer ran her fingers through Emily's long hair.

"Beside's Em, you passed out, so if anything we can sue because they are endangering you. You should have been checked out by the hospital."

Hanna rolled her eyes.

"I doubt they care."

"Not all cops are bad cops." Aria pointed out.

"Name one good cop."

Emily jumped in. "Eric Kahn. He may have done sketchy things in the past but he is a decent cop."

"Think Noel will become a cop?"

"He's interested."

Spencer looked at Emily.

"How do you know this?"

"I do go to his parties you know."

"You mean you get drunk at his parties."

"I spent a couple nights there before all this happened. He was always sweet to me."

Aria gave a dramatic huff "Twelve year old me never stood a chance. Noel always had a soft spot for you Em."

Emily bumped her friend's shouder ligtly.

"Maybe, but you always had your eye on an older boy."

Spencer grinned, remembering Aria's crush on thr older boy.

"Ali was so mad when she realized."

Aria rolled her eyes.

"It was just a crush."

"You may have a boyfriend now, but there is no denying the sparks."

Aria raised an eyebrow. "Thought you guys hated him."

"Well, the bad guys kinda turn out to be the good guys and vice versa."

"Toby, Caleb, Noel. Eric. Ian. Jason." Hanna listed them out of her fingers.

Aria thought about what her friend said.

When they were offered phone calls earlier, Spencer called her father and asked him to tell the other parents. Hanna called Caleb and asked him to tell Toby.

Emily called Noel in hopes her could to talk to his brother.

Aria was the only one who had yet to make a phone call.

She stood up.

"Aria?" Spencer could see her friend was thinking about something.

"I would like to make that phone call now."

Wilden appared and she smirked, knowing he had been eavesdropping on them.

She approached the phone and took a deep breath, marking the number she had memorized.

"Hey. It's Aria. Could you please come? We have been arrested and we really need you right now."

There was a pause.

"I'll be there."

She sighed and was lead back to the cell.

Emily was lying down with her head on Hanna's lap, her eyes closed.

Spencer looked upset and she held a bottle of water.

Aria was given a bottle and she sat on the floor, and grabbed Emily's hand.

A while later, Eric Kahn appeared with a grim smile on his face.

"You guys are free to go, just don't leave town. Wilden is running the sample, and he is boasting that tomorrow you guys will be back here where you belong."

As they left the cell, following Eric, they held hands.

Wilden grinned at them and called out, "I'll see yout tomorrow ladies. Sleep tonight, it's the last time you will sleep in your own beds."

Aria shivered and Spencer clenched her jaw. Emily was pale and Hanna was muttering about small dicks.

As soon as they stepped into the office, they were some gasps.

The girls were aware that they looked like hell, but the looks on thier parents' and boyfriends' faces made them feel worse.

Ms. Marin raised her hands to muffle her sob and Caleb wrapped and arm around her shoulder, offering support. He gave Hanna a smile. Mr. Hasting swore when he saw how awful the girls looked. Toby stood next to Mike who was staring at his sister with hurt in his eyes. Mr. and Mrs. Montgemoery stood next to Mrs. Fields who was crying as she saw her daughter. Noel stood off to the side.

Emily took a step towards her mother and then her mother was there hugging her.

Mike barraled into Aria and Spencer was in Toby's arms.

Hanna was hugged by both her mother and Caleb.

Aria looked up to see her boyfriend Ezra and frowned. She didn't tell him she was here.

Her eyes scanned the room takign in , Eric Kahn, and Noel whispering.

She saw Wilden smiling as he talked on the phone but she didn't see him.

She felt her shoulders slump in disappointment.

She and the girls followed their parents and they made plans to meet at the Hastings to discuss what was going to happen.

They walked outside with stopped and snapped, "I thought I told you to leave."

"I got a phone call saying I was needed."

Aria looked past the parents and saw Jason leaning against his car.

Her lips trembled and she pushed past everyone and threw herself into his arms.

Jason called Eric, the two had turned thier lives around and were good friends.

"It's bad Jase. Really bad. Wilden is a dirty cop, and he's got an agenda with these girls."

"Take care of my puffs."

He heard a snort and a smile slid on his face.

"Those girls didn't kill Ali and neither did you."

As he waited for the girls to come out, his heart was thumping. He was remembering when they were younger and looked up to him.

Then he saw walk out and stop when he saw him.

His eyes saw Spencer first. She was the tallest of his puffs. Her hair was mess and she had dirt on her arms and dress.

He squared off with and then the littlest puffs threw herself into her arms.

He held her tightly, breathing in strawberries. He pulled away to look at her face and he noticed the tears in her eyes and the dirt on her cheeks and the rips on her dress. "Aria."

"You came."

He laughed and kissed her forehead.

"You called saying that you guys were in trouble. You are my puffs, my girls, how could I not? I know I haven't been the best person but I do care about you girls."

Aria nuzzled his chest and his eyes found Emily, who was pale and he saw bruises on her arms.

"Em?"

Emily looked at the older boy remembered a time when he didn't smoke and actually got along with Ali. She remembered his swimming with her. His eyes looked at her with such tenderness, she found herself walking towards him.

His hands touched her bruise gently and she saw anger in his eyes and then she fell foward crying into his other shoulder.

Jason held his two smallest puffs in his arms as they sobbed.

Hanna let go of Caleb's hand and joined the two girls. She was remembering a time in which she and Jason would go running early in the mornings because she was tired of Ali making fun of her. He had been really supportive. Hanna wrapped her arms around the two girls and let them pull her into Jason.

Jason looked at Spncer.

"You know, there is room for one more puff."

Spencer's lip trembled. Out of all the grils she was the strong one, so knowing she could falll apart made her fall apart.

She took quick steps toward the group and fell into the warm embrace.

Jason stood there with his four puffs and felt a sense of relief. They were safe, here, and he was going to protect them. He may not have been a good big brother to Ali but he was going to be a good friend to his puffs. Hie eyes landed on the smallest puff, the one who called him and he smiled, and maybe something more to her.

His eyes met the parents in front of him and he made sure they knew he was going to take care of them.

So it's been a while. Hope you like this.

I'm starting break soon, so hopefully I will be more active here.

Love you Wallflowers!
