"24 hours or I tell, tick tock Aria I'm waiting –A" Aria threw her phone aside. She was fed up with A pressuring her about telling her parents about Ezra. She slowly lifted herself out of bed and walked to her wardrobe. Picking out some black skinny jeans and her favourite black and white t-shirt she got changed and started to head downstairs. She headed into the kitchen where her Mom was sat reading the paper.
"You're up early this morning aria, Coffee?" her mum asked as she got up and made her way to the coffee maker.
"Yeah please, I couldn't sleep, mom can I talk to you about something?" she asked not looking up from the floor
"Sure what is it honey?" Ella glanced towards aria wondering what it could be that was troubling her daughter
Aria could feel her moms eyes on her waiting for her to start talking, "Well it's kinda..." aria began
"Morning" Byron chimed cutting aria off mid sentence
"Morning" they both replied "Carry on aria" Ella continued
"Actually mom, it doesn't matter, it can wait. I have to go get ready I promised id meet the girls at Hanna's" and with that Aria hastily left the room before her mother could reply.
Just as she walked into her room her phone buzzed on the bed giving Aria butterflies as it did every time it went off. "So close but yet so far – A" Aria threw her phone back onto her bed. She was fed up of A controlling hers and the other girl lives, the sooner they found out who A was the better she thought to herself. She quickly got ready and gathered her school things together, knowing she would be way too early to school she left the house and headed to Ezra's stopping off to get two coffees on the way.
She walked up the familiar stairway towards Ezra's apartment. She was surprised to find Ezra stood with a bucket and brush furiously scrubbing at his front door.
"what are you doing?" aria questioned puzzled as she walked towards her boyfriend
"just some kids having a joke, they think it's funny to go round tagging peoples doors" he replied not stopping
Aria carefully looked at the door and what she saw sent a chill down her spine. The number "23" and "-A" was all that was there but she knew what it meant. Feeling responsible for this mess aria took the brush from Ezra's hands and handed him the coffees
"You don't have to do that Aria, you'll get your clothes dirty"
"I don't care, whoever did this is a horrible, lying, intruding piece of scu-" aria was cut off by Ezra pulling her body towards his and his lips colliding with hers instantly making her calm down a little.
Breaking away he looked into her eyes, a scared broken gaze was looking back at him. "Aria don't worry it was only kids, come inside, I will sort this out later"
Aria followed him into his apartment carrying the bucket and brush. Aria sat on the sofa nervously fiddling with her friendship bracelet Allison had given all the girls.
"What's the matter Aria?" Ezra said pulling her to look him square in the eyes as he crouched in front of her tiny frame. She just looked into his deep concerning eyes through the tears that threatened to fall from her own. She loved his eyes, she could get lost in them all the time, his gaze always made her feel safer and loved like there was no one else in the world. "Come on Aria, you can tell me, I'll always be here for you" he said giving her a reassuring smile
"We need to tell my parents" she said quietly "about us"
Ezra's eyes changed to a look of fear in a flash "Are you sure?" he muttered
"Yes I need to tell them tonight Ezra" she replied defiantly
"If that's what you want, I want to be with you when you do"
"I don't think that's a good idea, they will be furious, I think it would be better if I told them alone"
"Okay whatever you want as long as you are sure" Ezra said placing a hand on arias leg "would you like something to eat?" Ezra began to stand up but a hand pulled him back.
"Just hold me, please" aria begged. Ezra scooped her up and sat on the sofa cradling his girlfriend, if he felt scared god knows what she was feeling but he had to be strong for her. Ezra could feel arias tears soaking through his shirt but eventually she calmed down into his embrace. They remained in that position until aria had to leave for school.
