I'm not so sure how much I like this...but whatever. I've been doing all sorts of school shit lately so I haven't had much time to update Misunderstandings, and I'm not so sure if I feel like finishing it. If enough people PM me or tell me in a reveiw that they REALLY want the last chapter, then I'll type something up, but as of now, that story's on hiatus. Like PLL...107 days left :)
Disclaimer: I don't own PLL
Aria Montgomery took her daily walk, except instead of being in New York, she was now back in Rosewood. She spent her entire college career in New York, and never once paid a visit back to the small Pennsylvania town. Her reason was Ezra.
Just before Aria left, she and Ezra broke up, and went their separate ways, so that they wouldn't ever have to tell Aria's parents, and so that Ezra could stay where he wanted, while Aria went where she wanted.
You'd know, how the time flies.
Only yesterday, was the time of our lives.
We were born and raised in a summery haze.
Bound by the surprise of our glory days.
Hanna, Spencer, and Aria went to NYU, while Emily stayed in Rosewood and went to Hollis with Maya. The girls all stayed in touch, and, per Aria's orders, Emily visited them. Sometimes Aria would ask about her forever-secret soul mate, and by her third year of college, Aria was hearing that Ezra had moved on. Aria had read all four of the books Ezra published- the last one being published three months ago- and knew he was still in love with her, except he had found someone else to be with.
I heard, that your settled down.
That you, found a girl and your married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things, I didn't give to you.
Emily hadn't told her who Ezra married for a reason: so that Aria's heart wouldn't break again; but just yesterday, Emily told her it was Jackie.
Aria rounded the corner. She held her breath. Emily told her this was the street he lived on. She quickly kept on walking, thinking about the two years they spent together. The best two years of her life that came to an end so abruptly.
Tears welled up in Aria's eyes every time she pictured Ezra. Now she pictured him happily married to Jackie living on the small road with cute, perfect houses expecting a baby girl. Aria wiped her eyes with her jacket sleeve, and kept on walking. She saw a car pass by her, and recognized Professor Jackie Fitz in it, dressed up for work- of course, since it's Monday morning, and Ezra's probably already off teaching. She continued up the seemingly endless road, remembering all the times she and Ezra had together in two years.
Nothing compares, no worries or cares.
Regret's and mistakes they're memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?
She slowed down when she saw Ezra happily walking out of the garage of a small blue cottage. He walked over to the mailbox and grabbed his newspaper. Just as Aria was passing his house, Ezra looked up. Aria internally kicked herself for not running down this road once she got on it. Awkwardly, she stopped in the middle of the sidewalk just inches from Ezra.
"Aria…hey…" Ezra uncomfortably greeted.
"Hello Ezra," Aria smoothly replied.
The two stared at each other for a moment, both feeling the love resurface. "Wow, I didn't know you lived here," Aria lied, knowing there was no way in hell she'd let him know she's known where he lived.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited,
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face & that you'd be reminded,
That for me, it isn't over yet.
The two kept on staring at each other, finally realizing what they've missed out on looking at all these years. Ezra's phone started ringing, and when he took it out, Aria caught a glimpse of the caller id: Jackie.
"Sorry, I gotta take this," Ezra slowly said as he answered the phone.
Nevermind, I'll find someone like you.
I wish nothing but the best for you too.
Don't forget me, I beg, I remembered you said:-
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
It's a little shorter than I wanted it to be, but it's not THAT bad...let me know if you want me to continue it as a story, or leave it as a one-shot.
Reveiw please!
