The Sixth Doll~ Pretty Little Liars

Touched By An A-ngel

"So he could get to you!" Spencer shot back.

"And sleep with you!" Emily agreed, and Spencer gawked at Isabel.

"Wait, what?!" Spencer sputtered. "You slept with him?!"

"Not so loud!" Isabel hissed, leaning forward. "I don't want the whole school thinking I'm a slut. And thanks, Em. I really needed that, on top of everything else."

"Isabel, he's dangerous," Emily insisted.

"Yeah, you should-" Spencer began, but Isabel cut her off.

"No, Em, he's not!" She snapped. "And I'm not gonna let you ruin another one of my relationships, Spence." And with that, she stormed off.

Isabel was walking to her next class when she saw Jason. He smiled at her and walked over. "Hey."

"Jason... why do you have those pictures of me?" She asked nervously, fiddling with her hands.

"Pictures?" Jason frowned.

"Look, I'm sorry, but as expected, my friends broke into your woodshed, and they found photos... of me," Isabel explained.

"Man, I swear, this town never changes," he sighed. "People would rather sneak behind your back than ask you a direct question."

"Well, I'm asking you a direct question," Isabel scoffed impatiently.

"Ali had them," Jason shrugged. "She took them of you. Probably during one of your sleepovers."

"Why would Ali take photos of me sleeping?" She asked slowly.

"Got me," he replied. "I don't know what goes on at slumber parties." At her confused look, he added, "I found a roll of film in the house, so I developed it."

"Then... where are they now?" Isabel pressed.

"I'm having them framed," Jason explained, and she relaxed. She knew he was telling the truth. "As a gift. For you." Well now she felt like crap.

"I'm sorry," she muttered, looking down.

"Isa," Jason smiled, putting a hand on her cheek, making her look him in the eye finally. "I would never take photos of you without your consent. You know that."

"I know," Isabel nodded.

"Look, if you want, I can still give them to you," he shrugged. "Meet up at the Grille after school?"

"Okay," she agreed. He smiled down at her and kissed her forehead before turning away. In the spur of the moment, Isabel spun him back around, and he stared at her confused. She then kissed him on the lips, something she never would have done if it wasn't him. He kissed back, and they stayed that way for a moment. She could just never seem to get enough of him, and it seemed the same for him.

"I'll see you soon," Jason smiled at her when she pulled away. He walked one direction, and she went the opposite. Pretty quickly, Aria joined her.

"Huh. I didn't know you liked to do that kind of stuff in public. You wouldn't even hold Mike's hand," Aria teased as they walked along.

"I don't. I hate PDA," Isabel agreed. "It's for attention whores."

"Hm, really?" Aria asked skeptically.

"Jason's... a different story," Isabel shrugged, picking up a flyer for Brown. There was a college fair going on, but she didn't kid herself. She might have been a straight-A student, but she didn't quite have the money for college. Maybe her super-rich mother who abandoned her would pay for it!
