Disclaimer: Don't own PLL!
The perfect couple. That's what everyone thought of when they saw Aria and Ezra. Well, everyone except their parents. And no one knew that to get to where they were, they had to face hell on earth. But none of this mattered to them. They were both completely in love with one another and never cared about anything except being happy. A year ago, they lived the happiest day of their lives. During her senior year in college, Ezra had proposed to her after being together for almost 6 years. Soon after Aria graduated from NYU, where Ezra also happened to teach, and during the summer they tied the knot. It was the happiest day of their lives, now starting a life with each other forever. Only thing that bummed Aria was that it wasn't her dad walking her down the aisle, but her brother. As much as she loved Mike, a girl always dreams of walking down the aisle with her father. But Byron and Ella both refused to go to their daughter's wedding still angry about the fact that their daughter was marrying an older man, and her former teacher. As much as Aria cried over the fact that they wouldn't attend, she soon realized her dream day wouldn't be ruined just because of them. Someone else who was disappointed, but not surprised was Ezra. He knew his parents hated Aria, but he had hopes that they would put that aside and attend the wedding just to be there for him. But they didn't. Now a year later, both Aria and Ezra live happily married. Aria couldn't be any happier. She loved Ezra more than anything and he felt the same. Aria was now on her way to be a successful author and Ezra being one of the best teachers in New York. Ezra was now leaving work to see his wonderful wife.
"Hey, babe. How was your day?" Aria greeted him with a kiss
"Good, but with finals coming up a little stressful. Thank god I'm home now with my beautiful wife" he replied
Aria nodded and went into the kitchen.
"So what do you want for dinner?" Aria asked
"Some spaghetti sounds nice"
"Spaghetti coming up soon" Aria replied giving Ezra a quick kiss
Soon Aria made the spaghetti and they sat down to eat. While they were eating, Aria's phone rang. She would usually ignore calls during dinner, since she loved being with Ezra without interruptions, but lately she couldn't ignore since she was waiting to hear if her book would be published. Aria, just right after graduating and getting married, finished the book she had put so much effort into. Her book Time Against Us was a novel about her life, or more importantly, the fight for love. Their love. Of course she changed the characters names, to not risk it for either of them, but it the storyline was just a summary of Aria and Ezra's life. Most people, who had read her not yet published book, loved it. It seemed so real, of course no one knew it was on fact real. Aria was hopeful the publisher would like it and publish it.
"Hello?" Aria said
"Good evening Mrs. Fitz, this is Sarah Friwall, calling to inform you that you book has been approved and is on it's way of being published. We've never received a novel that seemed so real. We all loved it. It should be a week until Time Against Us goes on sale. Congratulations."
Aria was shocked. She couldn't believe it was actually happening. She could barely get the words 'Thank You' out of her mouth before hanging up.
"Ezra, they're publishing it" Aria said
"Congratulations baby, I knew they would love it. I'm so proud of you" Ezra said lifting her up and spinning her around
"I can't believe it. My book officially goes on sale in a week" Aria said in disbelief
"Well believe it, because it's true. You are an excellent writer Aria, you deserved all this"
"Wow. My books going on sale, I'm so happy!" Aria squealed
"I will be the first to buy 50 copies" Ezra said
"You better!" Aria joked
"Hey Hanna called inviting us to her engagement party at the Bar. It's next weekend, the day after school is out. Are you in? Please say yes, it's been forever since I last saw them" Aria added
"Of course, we both need to celebrate anyways. But are you sure you want to go back to Rosewood? I mean it's not as big as New York, and we could easily run into your parents. Are you ready for that? He asked
"Yeah, I thought about it but I really don't care, I just want to catch up with my friends "
"So are you telling them?"
"I think I will let them find out on their own. I want to see their reactions when they see my book on a shelf. Anyways, it's been a long day, can we go to bed?" Aria asked
"Yeah, I'm exhausted too. All I want to do is sleep." Ezra said
They soon got ready for bed and shortly after both fell soundly asleep. They went to sleep happy that Aria's book was finally published. Something that after so much hard work and effort was finally succeeded. They also both went to sleep looking forward to meeting up with their old friends and celebrating 2 great things. First, Hanna and Caleb's engagement and second, Aria's success. Little did they know that their trip to Rosewood and a night of partying would turn their worlds completely upside-down.
