Aria Montgomery missed Ezra Fitz. It was as simple as that.

This won't work out in the end.

His last words to her before walking away. It had been over 2 months and Aria still hurt.

Hanna had insisted on taking her out for shopping which was probably for the best; Aria hadn't been very social lately. Reluctant, she pulled on her brown, lace-up boots and grabbed her leather jacket, making her way towards Hannah's car. The girls made some small talk, but Aria wasn't in much of talking mood.

"Hey, let's go to Macy's. I want to get something for Caleb," said Hanna.

"Ok"

Aria was making her way around a colorful stack of men's shirts when a man suddenly turned the corner and bumped right into her.

"Oh! Sorry, I-"

Aria looked up into the familiar eyes of Ezra. A moment passed.

"Aria, where are you?" Hanna called out. She made her way to Aria and quickly realized what had just happened. "Mr. Fitz." She said in a rude tone.

"Hanna! Er..I was just going. Ni-nice seeing you two," he said quietly before walking off quickly.

Ezra stopped walking after a safe distance. He couldn't believe what had just happened. 2 months ago, he decided to do the right thing for Aria. Ezra had broken up with her in hopes that she would find someone better. Someone who she could take home to her parents and walk around with in public. But he stilled missed Aria. In fact, he still loved her. I don't know if I can stay away from her anymore, he thought.

Ezra sat at his desk attempting to vent out his feelings for Aria in a poem, but he couldn't put his emotions into words. The buzzing of his phone against the wood of his desk alerted him.

"Hello?"

"Hi Ezra, its Ella Montgomery," said a woman.

"Hello," Ezra said politely. "How can I help you?"

"Rosewood was thinking of having some colleges come and talk to the students. Since you know the students, I thought you would be a good representative for Hollis!"

"Oh, I'm not sure, Ella. My schedule is really busy," Ezra lied. As much as he wanted to, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to see Aria.

"Well, you can take a look at your schedule and just let me know if it works out for you!"

"Ok, I'll do that! Bye"

Ezra hung up the phone and thought about Ella's proposal. What's the worst that can happen? He thought.
