Ezra stared at Ella, confused. Spencer? Why would Ella think Ezra was in love with Spencer? "What are you talking about…?" Ezra slowly asked. He was talking to the mother of the person he loves and she clearly didn't realize it was Aria he was in love with. This could turn out bad.
Ella's eyebrows shot up, "Don't play dumb!" She exclaimed, "Ezra, you just told me you were in love with Spencer Hastings!" Ella was talking a little too loud, for at that sentence, Peter Hastings stalked over to Ella and Ezra.
He was staring a hole right through Ezra, "What. Did. You. Do. With. My. Daughter?" He demanded. Ezra was unsure of what he should do. An angry Hastings is never good.
"It's not your daughter, Mr. Hastings, I promise," Ezra confirmed. Ella's eyes bugged out, and she stared at Ezra in shock. At least she finally gets it. Ezra smiled at her.
"You're…with…" Ella was so close to saying it, but Ezra didn't expect the next words that came out of her mouth, "Hanna Marin?" Ella was sure to talk in a whisper, so Ashley wouldn't hear. Ashley's way worse than the Hastings.
"No! Um…" Ezra trailed off. This wasn't how he wanted Ella and Byron to find out about his illegal affair: In a police station. Just then, Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily walked through the doors, and to their parents. They were all getting ready to leave. Ella pulled Byron aside, and told Ezra to bring Aria out to the parking lot when Aria was ready.
The first thing Aria saw in the waiting room was the love of her life. She looked around to make sure her parents weren't there, before running up to Ezra and kissing him, "I-" she started, but was cut off by Ezra.
"Your parents are outside," he talked in a quick whisper, "I think they figured it out."
Aria froze. Today? Really? Of all days, they figured it out today. "What are we supposed to do?" She asked.
"They want us to meet them outside," Ezra told her, holding onto her hand and guiding her out of the police station.
Outside, Ella and Byron were talking in hushed voices next to the police station's entrance. When they saw Aria and Ezra coming, they immediately got quiet, and watched as Aria and Ezra walked out, hand in hand. Byron looked disgusted, as he turned to Aria, "He really has you fooled, doesn't he?"
Ella turned to him and gave him a look that said, 'please don't do this', and said, "What he means is: how did this start?"
Aria looked to Ezra before turning back to Ella and Byron-who was fuming- she began talking, "Well, it was the day we got back from Iceland…Labor Day-the day before school. After I dropped Mike off at lacrosse tryouts, I went to that Hollis bar to get something to eat, and-"
Byron cut her off, "A bar? That does it! Ezra, you're going to jail for hurting my girl, and Aria, you're grounded!" He lunged forward, but Ella grabbed a hold of him.
"Byron…" She hissed, trying to be understanding of the couple, who you could tell were in love by looking at them, "Don't do this…" She turned to Aria and Ezra, "Aria…" she said, "do you have your car with you?"
"No, um, it's at the church." Aria stated.
Ella turned to Ezra, "Would it be a bother for you to bring Aria to the Hastings's or Marin's?"
"Not at all, Ella," Ezra said.
Ella smiled, "Great, Aria, just stay with your friends until we figure this out, okay?"
"Okay," Aria agreed.
Once they were in Ezra's car, Ezra turned to Aria, "Well…that went well…" he said sarcastically.
At least Aria was free of all her secrets now.
