I own nothing

Her friends sat around the police station waiting to be called in to tell their version of the night they met Jake. It was at a party a little mixer that Toby held at the brew one night after hours of course; everyone had come.

Hanna's POV
ok so I walk into the brew and I had this really sexy sparkly dress on with these heels that matched perfectly I think I have a picture oh and oh my gosh my necklace to die for and

Hanna continue please Garrett interrupted he wanted the interview to be over with and he wasn't overly thrilled to be listening to Hanna talk about clothes either.
Oh right sorry ok so I was trying to impress Caleb because he was just coming back into town from staying with his dad anyway so the music's like real loud like not loud enough to like disturb the neighbors or anything but like loud like a never mind ok so 15 minutes into the party everyone's there except aria well and Ezra but they weren't really talking because aria was trying to keep Jake from Ezra and..

And why would aria try to keep Ezra from Jake? Garrett interrupted
Arias good at keeping secrets if she kept Jake from Ezra; it was because she didn't want Ezra to get hurt because maybe Ezra wasn't ready to move on and she was.

Toby's POV
So I'm hosting this party just as a get together and everything's going great the music's fine everything's fine me and spencer are out on the dance floor getting our groove on and the door opens its aria just arriving to the party and this new guy Jake. So we all go over and introduce ourselves to him.

SPENCER'S POV
so were talking to Jake and I give Toby this look like "is she seriously into him" and he looks back and shrugs his shoulders like who knows so we walk away and everyone just kind of has this look on their face like him? Really aria? He just didn't seem like the type of guy she would date.

Caleb's POV
So after I met Jake I mean I didn't really think he was that bad of a guy and Hanna was freaking out about how "he's not good enough for her" and "she'll just end up getting hurt" but I'm not close with aria so even if I hadn't liked him my input would have been unimportant to her.

Paige's POV
I didn't get a good vibe from him when he entered the room but after I started talking to him I didn't think he was that bad of a guy except he was definitely not arias type.

Emily's POV
So everyone's dancing and Jake and aria are just sitting off to the side talking so me and Hanna walk over there and we're trying to get them to come dance so I'm like "why don't you guys come dance" and arias like "ya come on Jake that'd be fun" but jakes like "nahh I'm too tired let's just stay here and chat" so then arias like " um we're fine sitting over here" and everything changes like whatever Jake wanted to do she was going to do which is just frustrating because no one deserves to be with a guy like that.

Jason POV (phone call)
So the party ends and everyone's clearing out and I start talking to aria in the parking lot she was waiting for Jake to come outside she was different when Jake was brought up and he wasn't around she would always say "he's good" "he's fine" like she was trying to hide something about him from everyone. My first opinion about Jake was "he must have some sort of ulterior motive" there was something different about him but not until now do I see what that was about she was afraid of him and because she feared him she stayed with him and put up the "everything's fine front" that she was so good at pulling off.
Again Garrett brought up the question "Why would Aria do that? Keep something like that from everyone close to her?

She knew that if anyone found out their secret everyone would rush to her and help her get out of her bad relationship but she wouldn't want that she's very headstrong and likes to be in control of anything and everything she can be.

Garrett hung up the phone with Jason and walked out into the waiting room

Thank you for coming in to give statement he said; they will all be very helpful and will help us to be able to continue to move forward in the case to seek justice for Aria and to arrest Jake. You are all free to go, drive safe. Garrett said as the six friends left the police stations and then hoped into their cars to go meet Ezra at the hospital and to wait on news about Aria.
