First off to all that think this is like Chang of Heart, it is not! Nothing like that other story of mine! My summaries are not fantastic so just read the chapter, okay? Review if you want me to write more!
Thank you
"I love you." Aria smiled as she spoke. "I love you, too, beautiful. See you this weekend. Bye." Aria hit END CALL and twirled her loose curl, thinking about Austin, her amazing fiancé. Two weeks after Ezra left Rosewood without explanation, Austin had moved to Rosewood and taken a liking to Aria. He was handsome and funny and in a few months Aria had all but forgotten her long lost English Teacher. The two had gone to the same college in New York and eventually Austin popped the question. Aria accepted, duh, and herself and Austin started wedding plans. He was in a conference in Cleveland and wouldn't be back for almost four days.
Aria snuck into their bedroom and dug through it to find her well hidden wedding dress. She gazed at it and pictured the day. Austin and Aria were getting married in Hawaii in a month on the beach. The dress was white and soft, with multiple flows. It was beautiful and she looked beautiful in it. After the mood passed Aria pushed it careful back into it's hiding spot. Then there was a clatter. "What the . . .?" Aria looked down at her feet. Her Yearbook from Sophomore Year. "Oh . . ." she whispered, picking it up, resting on the edge of the bed.
The front page was dedicated to Alison, of course. Seeing her face shook Aria a bit. Then she flipped through, finding pictures of Spencer, Emily, Hanna, and herself. They all looked so young. Aria smiled and laughed as familiar memories danced across her mind. Then she saw a face she had forgotten. It made her mouth go dry and throat become sore. Ezra. Aria shut the book quickly. It shouldn't have but it made her heart break all over again. Aria felt the tears she thought she had long since been used up return and splatter onto the front of the book. She dropped the book, using her stiletto to kick it under the bed. Why did it still hurt so badly?
She wanted to clear her head, to not be here right now. She called Hanna, who lived fifteen minutes away, and asked her if she wanted to go to the movies. "Sure but this is awfully spontaneous, Aria, I need a few minutes." Aria sniffed up, "O-okay, how about if I meet you there?" Hanna paused, "Aria have you been crying? What happened." Aria laughed sadly, "I just found a picture of he who should not be named and I'm just a little down. Y'know Austin isn't here so I can't just cuddle up with him. I need a few hours . . . I don't know, just not alone." Hanna made a sympathetic sound, "Totally understandable, I'll be at the Radley in twenty minutes, okay?" Aria nodded and breathed out, "Yeah, see you there."
Aria stood inside the Radley Lobby, looking over the movies and considering which ones would be better. A romantic comedy? No then she would miss Austin more. A Drama? Well that would give her an opportunity to cry more without people knowing she wasn't crying over the movie. A mystery? Perfect. She walked over to the ticket booth, "Hi, can I get two for The Clock Without Hands?" An emotionless, acne riddled teenager passively exchanged the tickets for her money. "Well . . ." she mumbled under her breath.
As she stood outside the Radley, waiting for Hanna, it got colder. And she could have sworn she heard someone call her name. It sounded familiar but she couldn't figure out where from. She looked around. No one. Huh. "Aria!" there it was again! It was closer. Then there was a tap on her shoulder. "Han . . .?" she spun around. She couldn't finish the name. All she could see were sapphire blue eyes, thick brown curls, and lips which had grazed hers on more than one occasion. Aria barely found enough of her voice to murmur, "Ezra?"
Now that was short but it was like an introduction! I won't write more if you don't like so PLEASE review if you want more. Don't keep it to yourself or else it wont' happen. Love you gusy, and if you got this far thank you for reading
