Chapter One

What Is And What Should Never Be

She stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom staring at her reflection she felt so lonely and worn out. Only three months ago she had stood in this exact same spot. Only then her parents were not living separately, only then she was not desperately trying to over her love for her english teacher Ezra Fitz. Three months ago the police were not investigating any of her best friends for involvement in the murder of Allison, back then her and her best friends weren't being stalked by A.

Yeah she never would have thought so but things were sure easier three months ago.

Only yesterday they were scheduled to take the SATs, but like everything any of them tried to do since Allie, it didn't go as planned. Yesterday Ezra had told her they were over, that he couldn't do it anymore. She had wanted to cry, wanted to break down sobbing right then and there. It was like he thought he was the only one risking anything! He was an english teacher he spent his days teaching the great loves like Heathcliff and Catherine and Romeo and Juliet. He taught that all great romances come with hurt and some risk. 'Why couldn't he live by what he taught' she thought?

'How could he do that to her' she thought? Make her fall in love with him and then say "Oh wait, no nevermind, we're over." Right now with everything else she was going through! It just wasn't fair!

So yesterday before leaving the school she had talked to Nole. She had agreed to go out with him that upcoming Saturday. She was sick to her stomach about it. She used to have the hugest crush on him. "He's smart, he's cute, and his father owns like half of Road Island" she recalled her friend Hannah saying just two nights ago. In simpler terms everything about him was perfect. Everything expect for the fact that he wasn't Ezra.

But, she had to try. Hopefully Ezra would hate the sight of her with someone else. Hopefully he would realize he truly loved her too and that it was worth all the risks to be together, and hopefully Nole wouldn't get hurt. And if that was not the case and that didn't happen maybe she'd really develop feelings for Nole. That wouldn't be horrible he truly was a great guy she concluded to herself.

She sighed deeply and grabbed her bad as she turned and walked out of her bedroom and down the stairs.

"Aria, can you come in here for a second please" hollered her Dad from the kitchen.

She walked into the kitchen and sat her purse on the counter before sitting on a bar stool facing her dad. "Yeah what'd you need" she asked?

"I just wanted to remind you, I have that conference in Denver this week. My plane leaves this afternoon. Mike is spending the week at your mom's new apartment. What are you going to do" he asked?

"Can't I just stay here" Aria asked him? Sure she had agreed to go over to her mom's for dinner later that week, but that by no means meant she was ready to spend the week over there. She felt like she was ten years old and getting ready for a custody exchange.

"I'd feel better if you weren't here all week alone" he said as he packed his briefcase.

"Then I'll go stay at Hannah's, or maybe the girls could just come over here. I'll be fine Dad. Have a safe trip" Aria said giving him a kiss on the cheek and walking out the door.

Her morning did not get any better once she got to school. Despite Spencer's mom's warning the previous afternoon Detective was there. Emily never showed up and noone could get ahold of her. And to top it all off Nole decided to be chivalrous and walk her to all of her morning classes. Most would think well 'why the hell is that bad?' But it only made Aria feel worse and more guilty about the fact that she was not over Ezra.

As Aria sat in the lunch room pushing her food around on her tray she talked to Hannah and Spencer like she had told her dad she would. Her stomach felt as if it were doing backflips and honestly she would have rather been anywhere but this cafeteria and this school.

"So are you guys sure" Aria asked?

"Yeah of course, it'll be good we could all use a week long slumber party" Spencer said.

"Okay great. Honestly I would have asked you guys sooner but I didn't even know about it. I didn't think he had any conferences till the 23rd" she said.

"Aria sweety it is the 23rd" Hannah said laughing.

"Seriously" Aria asked shocked?

Spencer nodded her head laughing along with Hannah.

Aria just smiled in response. 'How come she didn't realize how late in the month it was' she thought as she made her way to English.

She sat in the back of the classroom trying to remember whatever it was that she had forgotten. She knew she didn't have to pay attention, there was no way Ezra would call on her today especially not after the way they'd left things yesterday. "The 23rd she repeated over and over to herself trying to jog her memory and getting increasingly frustrated. She stared at Ezra thinking. And then it hit her like a ton of bricks.

She swallowed deeply her mouth all the sudden feeling very dry. She counted back the days in her head. That's why she didn't realize how late in the month it was.

She raised her hand. Ezra tried to ignore it but couldn't for long.

"Yes Aria" Ezra said clearing his throat.

"I need to use the restroom" Aria said and got up and hurried out the door before he could say anything.

Ezra went back to his desk, sat down, and sighed.

Aria sat on the floor of the school bathroom. It couldn't be. Sure she had felt sick lately but who wouldn't after the month she'd had. And she she was late... 17 days late to be exact, bur maybe it was just stress. She brought her knees to her chest and buried her face as she started to cry. She couldn't be pregnant she thought. She just couldn't.
