After Ezria broke up in 5x22 I wanted to write another Ezria story this is after A. I really appreciate reviews and this is going to be Ezria fluff. Enjoy everyone and reviews are cherished.

I thought this was what I wanted, to go to college to meet a nice guy my own age and study. But I was wrong.

I've been at college for a year now, I thought my longing to go back to him was just home sickness at first. The desperation to go back to him, to see him one more time it all went away after a few months, so I just dismissed my earlier want to go back home. I started dating this amazing guy his name was Drew, he had brown hair and a cheeky grin. We would sit in the park painting together and laughing, he treated me like a princess. I thought he was amazing, but there was something not right when we kissed I didn't feel anything, when Ezra used to kiss me I felt like we were the only people in the world. I decided to break up with Drew a few weeks ago, he asked me why, but I didn't know how to explain it to him, so I just told him I was sorry. It was the month before I broke up with him that I started to get the longing to see Ezra again. I looked at my phone day after day wanting nothing more than to hear his voice. If I spoke to him, I would know he was ok he'd tell me he was happy, he was with a nice girl.

I finally decided the best thing to do would be to go and see him. Sure I'd been home to see my parents and meet up with the girls, but I'd avoided the coffee shop, I just felt seeing him again would be too painful. I had to wait a week before it was vacation and I could go home, but it came soon enough. My mom came to meet me at the airport and chatted away telling me about Mike and the gallery. I hadn't told my mom yet or anyone for that matter, but I'd decided to move back I'd found an apartment near Hollis and transferred to Hollis. The apartment was in the same building as Ezra's apartment, I keep telling myself it wasn't on purpose that it was just a coincidence that was the only apartment available.

I stare out of the window as we drive though Rosewood, it's the end of the day so students are pouring out of the school as we pull up outside. I get out the car to see Mike walking towards me his arms carrying a pile of textbooks and folders. "Hey Mike", "Hey", he calls back struggling slightly as the folder on the top starts to slide off , I jump forward just in time to catch the folder as it slides off. "Thanks, you're a lifesaver", He smiles as I open the trunk of mom's car allowing him to drop his stuff in. Once he's put everything down he turns round pulls me into a tight hug, "I've missed you so much. I have so much to tell you, did mom tell you I'm up for valedictorian", "No she didn't, can't say I'm surprised I've seen how hard you work". Since Mona died he really threw himself into his studies and keeping fit, he was now captain of the lacrosse team, he was taking all AP classes and had near perfect scores on all of his tests. "Mona would be so proud of you", I tell him before pulling him back into a tight hug, "Thanks, that means a lot", a slight sad look spreads across his face as his says this, Mona may have been gone for nearly two years but it hadn't made it any easier on him. "So you must have loads to tell us, how about we go to the grille and you can tell us all about it", Mike suggests climbing into the back of the car. "Sounds great", my mom chimes in, "Then it's settled we'll go to the Grille and I can catch you two up. Which reminds me I better call dad let him know I got here safely, it's a shame he's stuck in New York at that conference I've missed him". "Yeah still he'll be back tomorrow and then you can catch him up on everything", my mom replied cheerily before pulling out of the school and heading to the Grille.

As we're driving I look out of the window and catch a glimpse of the coffee shop, but we turn down another road just as I think I see a glimpse of brown hair. I shake my head slightly, Ezra's probably going to be somewhere in the back if he's at the brew not putting out chairs. "So Mike, have you given any thought to where you want to go to college", I ask turning around to look at him in the back of the car. "Yeah I have actually, I'm hoping to get a place at Stanford, if I'm lucky I might be able to get a lacrosse scholarship", "That sounds great, have you spoken to any scouts yet", "Yeah actually that's one of the main reasons I'm really looking at Stanford I was approached by one of their scouts, they said as long as I keep doing what I'm doing, I could be looking at a free ride as long as my academics stay up to scratch", "Wow I can't believe how much has happened with you since I left. I have to say I'm very proud of you little bro, you're going to do great things". "Absolutely", my mom agreed, "Thanks it means a lot that you two believe in me". I smile leaning back in my seat, I've missed my family and despite everything I've missed this town too.
