I claw at my neck, ripping off the third necklace I've tried on. I sigh defeatedly, slamming the silver chain onto my dresser. I just want tonight to be perfect. Alison's words ring in my head as I look at the white gift box she brought me earlier when she got home from her trip.

"Open it!" Ali giggles, handing me a white rectangle box. "I brought this back from my trip. Just don't tell the others, I didn't get them anything," She winks. Alison and I have always been the closest out of our group of six being we were friends before we met the others, not including my cousin Spencer.

I give her a curious smirk as I lift off  the top and move the glittery white tissue paper. "Oh my gosh!" I gasp once a maroon and black laced bralette and thong set is revealed. "This is stunning!"

"It's gonna look perfect on you tonight," Ali wiggles her perfectly-shaped brows while shimming her shoulders.

"Ali!" I groan and toss one of my pillows at her.

"What?" She shrugs innocently, "You're gonna look hot and hopefully giving  you this will spare me from having to hear about you having sex with my brother," She throws the pillow back at me.

"Deal," I laugh.

"See, nothing to worry about."

"Right," I nod, chewing on my lip absentmindedly.

"Scar," Ali tilts her head, giving me a look like a mother is about to chew out her child, "It's not like you're a prude. Besides, everyone's first time is just a sloppy, short ride. It'll be over before you know it," She waves a hand like it's nothing. It's not for her. She only ever done it out of a good time.

"I know," I  sigh, "But tonight is special. It's not just with anybody, it's with Jason. And I think I'm in love with him," I admit, staring down at the lingerie in my hands. I'm terrified to even think that, little long say it out loud. But with Jason it's different. It's raw and passionate. Not boring or some puppy love. It's real, not just some daydream or nightmare.

"Then you'll be fine, it's just one step closer to us becoming official sisters,"  She smiles reassuringly. "Okay, now enough about you boning my brother!" Her nose curls before she turns serious, making me wary. "I actually have something else I brought back from my trip. Something very important. And I need it to be kept in very safe hands," She says to me, looking me dead in the eyes. Sounds like too much pressure and stress to me, and I don't need that right now.

I think for a moment. "Ehhh, give it to Emily. You know she's good with stuff like that," I put it to her honestly.

She nods, "Okay, but you were my first choice."

"Obviously," I smirk, shrugging off the slight weirdness that's lingering in the air. "So what is it?" I ask, she didn't already say, did she?

"Oh, don't worry about it," She waves it off, "Well, I better go so we can get ready for our slumber party," She stands. "Remember we aren't drinking," Her points a finger at me.

"Right," I give her a firm nod. Tonight we're are having one last summer sleepover with the girls at Spencer's before school starts. Ali and I plan to sneak out once the others are asleep. I'm going to Jason and Ali is going off with this guy she's been seeing. She hasn't said who he is yet and I haven't asked. I'm the only one that knows about it though, but I know she'll tell me more when she's ready, so I never pry too much. "Meet back here before we head over?" Since my house is in between hers and Spencer's mine is the meet-up spot.

"Yep, see you in a few houses," She smirks, heading out.

I turn back to my dresser deciding on earrings next since those should be easy. I carefully put in the diamond stud ones Jason got me for my birthday a few weeks ago and head for my bathroom to give myself a full spa treatment type of shower routine. I smile, thinking about tonight. Jason and I neither one really cared about "waiting or not waiting", all we knew is we wanted it to be special, not just some thrown together spur of the moment thing or a quickie. We've had our fun of course, but now it's time for the real fun, tonight is the night. And I'm more than ready.

I know Ali said your first time isn't supposed to be special, but I think that's just because she didn't lose hers to someone special. But with Jason, he went from being my best friend's mysterious older brother to so much more. I think back to the night everything changed.

Alison wanted to sneak out for some guy, so I covered for her like I've done many times before. I come over to her house, her parents think we're having a sleepover, she leaves, and I take care of the rest.

I walk into the DiLaurentis kitchen in nothing but a towel wrapped around my body and hair, opening the fridge to look for a snack. Her parents aren't supposed to be home until around midnight and Jason is at his friends for the weekend.

I sing the Gaga song that's blasting from my iPod at the top of my lungs when suddenly a voice rings out through the house.

"Ali, you in there? Turn that shit dow- Oh," Jason enters the kitchen, stopping mid sentence once he sees me. "Sorry, uh, didn't know you were here," He says slowly, trying his hardest to not let his eyes trail down my body.

I sigh to myself before turning down my music and crossing my arms, which pushes up my boobs causing Jason to shift from one leg to the other a couple times.

"Nope," I pop the p, "Just me. Alison's out for the night. I thought you were supposed to be too?"

"Yeah, uh, couple of the guys have a stomach bug, sooo..."

"Bummer," I lift my brows before turning back the the fridge.

"What're you doing here if Alison's gone?" Jason places a hand on the fridge door, looking down at me.

"Oh, you know, using your shower, looking through your fridge," I answer nonchalantly. I would never rat out Ali, not even to Jason who I'm sure will forget this conversation within the hour.

Jason chuckles, "Huh, you're good," He nods, knowing I won't give anything away. "Then, what are you gonna do since Alison isn't here?" He asks just as a wrap my hand around the bottle of Rosé.

"Gonna have some fun," I turn to him with a smirk, shaking the bottle, "You in?"
