Home Sweet Home [PLL]

Dead To Me

"Oh my god," Hanna whispered to Aria as they walked through the hallway of school

"What?" Aria asked

"It's Lily,"

Sure enough Lily Jackson was back in Rosewood, she was at her locker getting her books for class, very aware people were staring at her in confusion, wondering why she had disappeared without a trace for a few days

Lily ignored everyone's stares and headed to class anyway

Her morning was uneventful and then at lunch things got worse for her when she was sitting in the courtyard with Emily and Aria and someone else decided to show up

"Hey," That was a voice Lily had been dreading hearing for at least a while but of course he had to show up at her school on her first day back in Rosewood "I wanted to let you guys know that the tomorrow night you guys can come to the Mausoleum at 7pm if you want to say goodbye to Alison,"

"Thanks Jason," Aria nodded and Jason glanced at the brunette who was sitting with her back to him

"You can come too, Lily," He said, not sure how she would react

"I'll be there," She nodded, not turning around to look at him. Jason sighed and left the girls alone "What are we going to do tomorrow?"

"A gave Ali's remains to their family so they're burying them tomorrow at the Mausoleum and Jason is giving us a chance to say goodbye after his parents do," Emily explained "Are you sure it won't be too awkward if you go?"

"I'm more than just Jason's ex," Lily rolled her eyes "I was also Ali's best friend,"

"Okay," She smiled and the bell rang for the end of lunch so the girls went to class. 

After school Caleb and Lily drove home together and Lily noticed Caleb wasn't in a very talkative mood which made her worried

"What's going on?" Lily asked as they ate dinner together since her mother was out of town for a meeting

"My mum told me that apparently my aunt's house is being torn down," He sighed "The house I grew up in when I was little so Hanna's trying to convince me to go see it one last time,"

"Do you want to?" Lily asked

"I don't know," He shrugged "It's not like I miss it or anything,"

"You might not miss it but that house is the last part of your childhood," Lily said "I think it would be good to go and just see if there's anything of yours left,"

"You think?"

"Yeah," She nodded "And Hanna and I will go with you,"

"You don't have to," Caleb said

"No I want to see baby pictures of you," Lily teased and Caleb laughed.

So the next day Lily and Caleb picked up Hanna before the three of them drove out to Caleb's aunt's house where they were greeted by Jamie Doyle, Caleb's aunt's brother who led them into the large garage

"Just about everything is in here now." He told them as they started looking around the large amounts of stuff "You're looking at about a hundred years' worth of stuff."

"Did you grow up here, Mr. Doyle?" Hanna asked 

"Jamie." He corrected her "Yeah, I did. My sister Patty, Caleb's aunt, stayed and took care of our folks when they got old. I was long gone." 

"And so was Caleb's dad?" She asked 

"Yeah. He was gone too." Jamie said and turned to Caleb "Patty was surprised to hear from your mom."
