More than a year has passed since Ezra had been shot , he starts a new job elsewhere , a new life , a new city .. Will he start elsewhere?
Ezra 's Pov :
I turned the key in the lock , what excitement ! A new life, a new apartment, a new job .. a new city .. I waited so long to be able to start from scratch and leave behind me the whole story . Leave Rosewood was the most difficult thing I had to do since the beginning of my life, and especially let's the love of my life ... only after all that I screwed up , I could only blame myself .. that is why I am happy to finally start elsewhere.
Back with my parents after the hospital was the solution , my recovery was long and hard .. I do not want to see my mother after all she had done for us separate Aria and me, but I don 't have given the choice , Aria was clear she did not want to hear from me and even less to me , my attempt to recover it gave rise to a long stay in the hospital, of course, she came to see me , she was supported and was grateful for what I had done, but it was not enough , I too bad .. what an idiot ! Now, to love her , I chose to disappear and give her a chance to finally be happy .. it was over with A with high school .. I knew she was gone to college, Alaska .. I chose to start here in California!
The door opened and after a quick glance which confirmed that I had found the gem .. everything was like the ad .. perfect! This apartment was bigger than the 3B Rosewood , it included a large living room with an open kitchen, I loved to make room watching a good film in black and white, or chat with my friends while I was preparing the meal .. bedroom, office and bathroom .. large windows overlooking a large balcony where I could put a table and eat breakfast or read a good book ..
I put my luggage on the floor .. and opened the window ! "I'll be right here! More lies, no more suffering , no more hiding .. I will live .. and maybe one day fall in love again ! "
After a quick shower , which had made me a very foolish , I decided to visit the city and take me a coffee and something for dinner tonight away .. everything was ready for my first day the next day, the head of the department of literature at the University ! What promotion! I had to admit that my mother was able to make amends by helping me get this job, even though at first I refused to help .. I ended up telling me that a little help is always good to take after all ..
The sun was still present despite the late afternoon , people were smiling , it was good to walk in a city where nobody knows you .. where you can be yourself without anyone launches you that look of disapproval because you used the students to write a book !
While I was taking my order I said to myself " I'll be right here! "
Six hours! My alarm who had pulled me from my sleep rang out .. I had to prepare myself not to be late for my first day ..! I had to meet with teachers in my department , set up the first meeting to explain how I work , what I expected to the class .. must go out from under the duvet !
After a quick shower , I put the clothes I had prepared the night before , then I went to the kitchen for a good breakfast .. and less than an hour later, I was finally ready .. all would be well After all .. there's no chance I happen twice the same thing .. fall in love with a student fails to each teacher when it happens twice in the same teacher was impossible .. I risked nothing .
I parked my car in the parking lot reserved for teachers, even my car was new , another gift from my mother .. I told her yes again .. changed everything seemed perfect .. I climbed the few steps that separated me from my office ... and I went .. it was huge and bright, even more than the University Hollis .. I could not believe my eyes that I can have everything .. in such a short time .. yes .. really my life here in California will be perfect ..
Burks and Anderson were the first teachers in my department to come forward to me , they were much older than me , which was a bit annoying in some way , but my mother had arranged for nobody ' learn her push for the job I have , so no trouble to do .
But I wanted to continue to teach, even if my new role as head of the department was going to take me a long time , I asked to keep a few hours to teach : my first love ! . The bell rang, it was time to join my class ..
There were already a few students sitting , I did not pay attention to them for the moment, I left my stuff in my briefcase, while the bell announced the beginning of the class, and the rest of the students hurried inside the room. . I took a chalk and apply myself to write my name legibly Ezra Fitz ...
Returning me to introduce myself to my students ... I was seized with a kind of vertigo ! no it is not possible .. no ! I stayed a few seconds ... I was speechless .. sitting there watching her book ... Aria !
She looked up when I uttered my name aloud to introduce myself! In her eyes I knew she felt like me! and she thought the same thing as me at that time!
During the hour that lasted my yard, I did my best not to meet her gaze , not to speak to students in her direction, I tried to pretend she was not there . . the bell finally released me , I decided not to stay too long to stop to talk to me , because I had the impression she was going to do ... and I because ...
- Ezra ... I uh .. I do not know you taught here now!
- I .. I .. this is my first day ..
- Me too ...
- I ... I .. I .. thought you were not at a university in Alaska? ,
-Yes .. but the program doesn't suit to me .. teachers had no talent .. and I don't want to ruin my chances of succeeding my studies .. but how do you know I was there? You spied on me? I do not think so ...
- No, I didn't do it .. I just wanted to ... just avoid this situation , knowing where you were a student allowed me to apply the further away from you actually .. I want you to live your life away from me and not have a chance .. uh .. well once more find myself in front of you . You have been clear about that. .. You didn't want to see me ... " I explained .. I sighed , I didn't dare look into her eyes , I didn't dare look at her because I knew she was probably still best she was already , even if it seemed impossible ..
- Ok .. ok ... I understand , "she says .. calm down , don't panic .. I hear you .. you trying to apologize for something you are not responsible .. " She was right . I didn't want her to think I lied again ..
- Look, I don't want to lie to you, if I had known you were here , I wouldn't have taken the job , I assure you I do ments even if I think you 're not gonna believe what I saw you have lied about many things .. but I assure you that I don 't .. I decided ments more lies in my life ..
- Ezra .. slow down .. calm down ... breathe ... all is well ... you're my teacher .. I am your student .. we leave for a new life .. nobody here knows our history, it not to worry ... all is well .. and then there are more than a year now that this story is over .. I put all that aside .. not talking about that Ezra !
- . Ok .. I'm sorry ... I got carried away .. I don't want you to think ... " She laughed ... apparently my confusion amused much .. I was not on my side, in mind at all ...
- In addition , I must tell you, I met someone .. I see her for 3 months now and I want it to work .. so you have nothing to fear ...
- Ohhh but I don't think fear anything .. I 'm happy for you .. I also see someone .. you know .. everything is fine .. bye ... Ez ... Mr. Fitz " she said out of the class ..
