Chance Encounters

Aria Montgomery walked down the hall in a trance. Only an hour ago she had watched as the television announce that her closest friend, whom she had only told days ago to disappear on voicemail, had gone missing. Gone missing the day Aria had also lost her first true love.

The same true love that was leaving his office at that moment. He looked gorgeous. But he also looked tired. His hair was mess and his tweed vest appeared to make him feel itchy. A small part of his shirt was un-tucked. Aria bit her lip slightly as he passed her, acting like he hadn't seen her. But he had. He still loved her, but it was too dangerous. And she'd broken a promise to him. A very serious detail.

Aria breathed in, willing herself not to cry. Too be honest she was surprised she had tears left. She had blasted music all weekend to mask the sobs. She hadn't even tried to call or text Ezra. She was trying to seem as mature as possible. Phone stalking him would seem like a silly girl who couldn't get over her boyfriend. But that was kinda what was happening now.

She saw Hanna huddled next to Emily at Spencer's locker. She walked up hastily. "I can't believe it." She mumbled. Spencer nodded. Emily seemed like a lost puppy. But Hanna, trying to put up a brave front, scoffed and said, "Ali is such a drama queen, we all know that! She'll probably be here in the next couple days bragging about how she 'got her picture on television'. Right?"

Everyone else just shrugged. "I feel so guilty." Aria mumbled. Everyone looked at her, "What, Why?" Spender asked. Aria shifted her bag higher on her shoulder, "Well, I showed Ali some pics of me and you know who at the concert and everything. Next thing I know I'm at Ezra's apartment and he breaks up with me . . ." All of the girls formed a pause with a gasp, " . . . Because a really personal picture I showed Ali had been sent to him with this cryptic little message and a dashed A."

Hanna seemed to have a scared look on her face but Aria ignored it. "So I called her and got her voicemail and left a really awful message saying how much I hated her and for her to disappear." Aria wanted to crawl in a hole. She knew in a second the girls would ditch her and she'd be alone again.

But she felt Spencer's arms around her. "Aria I am so sorry. But this is not your fault. Like at all. It's just terrible that Alison would do this to you. You-Know-Who is in love with you, though. I have a very good feeling it'll all be okay." Aria tightly hugged Spencer back and felt the other two girls get in on the hug. Aria let out a small whimper, "But what if it doesn't?"

Spencer pulled back and rubbed her shoulders, "it will don't worry." Aria nodded and walked with her friends into Mr. Fitz class. He wasn't there yet. Probably getting a coffee. Aria sat next to Hanna and adjusted her skirt. She'd dressed for this. Wearing her hair down in its natural wave drove Ezra crazy. The red top she wore accentuated her small waist and her black jean miniskirt showed off her legs gloriously.

Ezra walked in and smiled at his students, even taking the slight glares from Emily, Hanna, and Spencer. When he really looked at Aria, though, he dropped his binder of today's activities. A bunch of kids chortled but Aria just smiled in satisfaction.

The class went by too fast and all Aria could even try was getting close enough to pick up a flier for the Carnival Friday night. She was the last person out and she took one as his hand stretched out to take back the ones no one picked out. Aria thought to herself, 'If he doesn't pull back, everything is okay'.

He didn't pull back. Aria looked into his eyes and he looked into hers. She just cleared her throat and picked up one of the thin sheets of paper. She turned back once more before she left and he was still looking at her. She had no words.

As she walked out, though, Ezra whispered, "I miss you." To the air. He didn't think she had heard it. There was no way she did. She'd left right before he said it. But She had heard it. She had heard it and she was proud. She walked to class, in fear she would be late.

The rest of the day was torture. Every time she saw Ezra she wanted to run up and make him forget everything. But that was easier said than done. In her last class, Ms. Mozzella gave her a stack of paper, "Oh, Aria, be a dear and give these to Mr. Fitz." Aria nodded and left a couple minutes after the last person left.

She knocked on Ezra's door. "Come in!" he said. She stepped in. Before he could say anything she held up the papers, "I'm here on a favor to Ms. Mozzella." She walked over and put them on Ezra's desk. She turned to leave but Ezra sighed, "Wait." She turned. "What?" he stood from his desk.

He walked over to her and surprised her when he took her hands. "I'm really sorry." He sighed. Aria just let her mouth hand open for a minute. "Ezra, you have to understand that I never meant to hurt you." Her lips trembled as she spoke and Ezra slid his thumb lightly across it.

Ezra nodded, "I know. And I am so sorry about what I said . . . what an ass I was." He laughed a little at the end and Aria smiled. I'm in love with you, Aria. I should have thought about that before just going ballistic for no reason." Aria smiled a little, "Do you take me back?" she squeaked.

Ezra knelt down and kissed her softly on the lips, "Do you take me back?" Aria pretended to think. "Oh, I don't know . . . you might have to be on probation . . . unless . . ." Ezra jumped at the request, "Unless what? I'll do anything, Aria, you don't know how sorry I am."

He looked meaningfully into her eyes. Aria smirked, "Can you pay bail?" she sighed in a sultry voice. Ezra was catching on now. "I don't know what is the fee?" Aria just laughed and pulled him on for a kiss. She should have been upset. Should have been thinking about her friend who was east of nowhere right now. But she couldn't. She was back in the arms of tha man she loved.

I hope you guys don't think it went to fast with them. If you did I can re write this but I was just trying to show how deeply they really do love each other. Even if he is an idiot, LoL. Plz, Read\Review Luv u all!
