Author: yourxwonderwallx
A/N: I got this idea watching the scene in the police station when Aria calls Ezra. Title is from Florence and The Machine's Never Let Me Go. Enjoy. Oh yeah, I'm going to go ahead and put my A theory in this because I don't believe Ezra is A.
Ezra hadn't expected to hear from her. Though he'd be lying if he wasn't happy to hear her voice but that happiness quickly faded into panic when he realized she was crying. He could hear the distress in her voice and all he wanted to do was end it.
When he arrived at the police station Ella Montgomery cornered him. She told him to end it and he struggled to keep from pushing past her and running to Aria. When the police decided to let them go he was waiting outside, he saw her exit. She was covered in dirt from head to toe.
He gave her this pleading look and she took the steps two at a time and jumped into his arms. "I'm so sorry for everything." She whispered, her voice clouded by her tears. She buried her face in the crook of his neck and he held onto her, never wanting to let her go.
"It's okay. Whatever happened is okay." He whispered. "I think they know." He said, putting her on the ground. He could see the looks of her friends and their parents behind them. He saw Byron try to come towards them but Ella pulled him back.
"I don't care, just please don't take me home. I can't." She whispered. "Just get me out of here please." She said and Ezra pulled her close before looking at Ella and seeing her ever so slightly nod her head. Ezra intertwined his hands with Aria's and they left before Ella Montgomery could change her mind.
Ezra took her his car and as soon as she knew she was settled he went to the drivers side and got in. "What happened?" He asked. He noticed Aria take a breath before telling him everything from A to her theory about Alison's murder to how A wanted her to make Jackie disappear. Once they got back to his apartment and handed her one of his shirts before motioning for her to go take a shower. As soon as she got inside there was a knock on his door. He groaned when he saw Jackie on the other side. "What do you want?" He asked and she smiled pushing past him and coming inside. "I have company." He said but it was no use, she was all ready inside.
"I wanted to talk to you." She said simply her eyes noticing the blush pink dress on his bed and the high heels near the door.
"I know you told Aria to stay away from me, you told her you'd tell her parents. I also know that Aria confronted you about the article you plagiarized. She told me everything. Her parents know we are together, or I gather they do since I'm the one who picked Aria up at the police station tonight. I have no respect for you anymore. I want nothing to do with you. I'll be courteous because we work at the same place but that's all you're ever going to get." He said, his voice slightly filled with rage. "Don't come back here again." He said holding the door open for her and slamming it behind her.
He turned to see Aria behind him, dressed in his Hollis shirt and he watched as she went to curl up in his bed. "How much of that did you hear?" He asked as he took off his work clothes leaving him in his boxers and he crawled into the bed, his back facing the wall and pulled her into his arms.
"Enough." She answered. "I'm sorry." She whispered.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. Go to sleep. We will deal with the fallout tomorrow. We will deal with it together." He said as he listened to her even breathing as she drifted off to sleep in his arms.

It was pouring down rain and she was soaking wet but she couldn't stay at home. She turned her key in the lock and prayed she didn't hit anything walking in his apartment in the dark. It had been three weeks and she was still having nightmares and panic attacks. She wasn't supposed to be in contact with Ezra but she had been ever since that night. She couldn't stay away.
"It's me." She said as she changed into one of his shirts and crawled into bed with him. He moved over to make room for her and he pulled her very close, her body was flush against his. "I can't sleep without you anymore." She murmured against his chest.
"Me either." He replied. He kept peppering soft kisses into her hair before he finally heard her breathing even out signaling that she was asleep.
Morning arrived and Ezra woke up. He'd slept well the previous night even with Aria's nightmares. He left her sleeping and put on a pot of coffee and walked over to his closet pulling on a pair of black slacks and had just finished buttoning them when he noted the time, and made his way to the bed to wake her up. Ezra made his way over to the bed as he noticed Aria starting to toss and turn followed by her slight screams. "No. Ezra don't." She screamed and he gently shook her, trying to wake her up.
"Aria, I'm right here. No one can hurt me." He whispered gently stroking her arm and placed a soft kiss on her head. A few seconds later her eyes opened and she felt a flood of relief seeing Ezra. "Morning." He said to her and she pulled him in for a kiss.
"Let me get a shower and get dressed." She said leaving the door cracked. He walked over to his closet to pull out a shirt and vest. "You know, I left the door open for a reason." She said and he turned to face her. She was standing there with just a small towel wrapped around her.
"Aria-" he went to say but she walked up to him and kissed him full on the mouth he picked her up wrapping her legs around his waist and walking into the bathroom. He sat her down and she quickly made work of his pants and boxers sliding them down as he removed the towel from her before stepping inside.
He pinned her arms above her head and kissed his way down her neck and chest, kissing each breast and teasing her nipples before kissing his way back up to her lips. Their tongues battled for dominance Wasting no time he pressed his member at her entrance and slowly entered her. He unpinned her hands as he lifted her legs around his waist picking his pace up.
"Ezra." She moaned raking her nails down his back. Her lips left his and moved to the side of his neck just below his ear and kissed him leaving a dark purple hickey forming. She felt her walls start to contract as she felt that familiar sensation in her belly. She knew she was close.
Ezra's lip found their way to the base of her neck and he gently sucked a hickey there before placing one at the peak between her breasts. He knew she shouldn't but he wanted to mark her as his. Their first time had been rushed and a mixture of fear and love about a month after telling her parents. Aria had found an application for an all girls boarding school on Vermont. When she came to him that night she told him she wanted him to have all of her and ever since then when she's around he becomes insatiable, always wanting more of her.
She kissed and sucked at the crook of his beck before moving to kiss his lips again. Ezra braced his arms on the side of the shower as he thrusted into her. He felt his orgasm building and he thrust into her one more time and they came together, loudly screaming out the others name. "I love you." He whispered, unwrapping her legs from his waist.
Aria tried to stand but her legs wouldn't allow it. She braced herself against the shower wall and let out a deep breath. "We should do that every morning." She whispered as he turned the shower off. He helped her out of the shower and she wrapped a towel around her waist she watched as he dried himself off and pulled on his boxers and slacks again before walking out of the bathroom.
Aria gained her bearings as the trembling in her legs subsides. She smiled as she moved to the sink so put her make up on and tame her hair. Once she was done she walked out into main area and saw him standing in the kitchen with a navy blue dress shirt on and a black vest and tie. She smiled and she went to his closet to pull out one of her navy blue dresses with black lace on it. Once she was in her dress she put on a pair of knee high stockings that ended just below her dress and a pair of her combat boots. She also pulled out a black dress blazer with a black pearl and flower arrangement on the right side. She pulled her hair off to the left side and pinned it back, letting the rest of it fall down her shoulders.
"You look amazing." He said and she smiled, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"You don't look so bad yourself." She said, pulling him in for a kiss. He lifted her up onto the counter and she pulled him close. "I'm not re applying my make-up." She said sternly pushing him back. He noticed that the dress showed off the part of the hickey he'd left. She smiled when she saw the hickey that had formed on his neck.
"At least you can cover yours up." He said and she slightly hit him in the shoulder.
"I just couldn't resist." She said seductively and he just smiled, a blush creeping on his cheeks.
"You're insatiable. You know that right?" He asked and she smiled.
"So, I got a phone call yesterday afternoon." She said. "It was from the guidance counselor. Remember that poem I wrote in your class?" She asked and he nodded. "It somehow made its way to New York to the dean of English literature and they've reached out to Rosewood. Based on my test scores and grades NYU wants to offer me early admission. I'd start in August and it would be a partial scholarship provided I major in English or something related to it." She said, pushing it all out in one breath.
"Aria, that's amazing." He said pulling her in for a hug. "Are you going to do it?" He asked.
"My parents think it would be a good thing if I did though their concern is that it would get me away from you." She said. "But, I'd love to do it. It would be amazing but there's one thing that's stopping me." She said quietly adding that last part.
"What?" He asked.
"You. I don't think I can be that far away from you." She said, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"I don't want you to base this decision solely on me but it would get you away from A." He said and he could see the tears starting to fall. "Aria, I don't want us to be over. I want you to be safe. The last three months have been hell. I've been actively looking for another teaching job outside of Rosewood just so I could be out from under your fathers thumb. I just didn't know how to tell you." He admitted and she got a mischievous grin on her face.
"Come with me. You can start at a school in New York in August." She said excitedly then paused. "I mean if that's what you want." She added in an almost whisper.
"There's nothing more I'd want I just don't want to hold you back or get in the way." He said and he cupped his face in her hands.
"When I look into my future all I see if you. All I want is you." She said and he kissed her passionately sliding her blazer off of her shoulders. She smiled into this kiss as he pushed them back on the couch and she untied his tie.
Aria knew she was going to miss first period but somehow with his lips on hers she could careless.
