Chapter 1:
Aria's POV:
Today is the day that I become Aria Fitz. The day where I have a new start, a fresh start with the man I love. Ezra Fitz.
Hanna: Aria, I would love to help you with your dress, but I fell really sick, I need to go to the bathroom.
Aria: It's ok Han, go, I want you to be ok.
Hanna: Thanks.
As I step off of the dressing podium, I can feel my long Lacey dress trailing behind me as I walk around the small room. The long laced sleeves down my arm are detailed with flowers. And my shoes, my shoes are white silk style with a beautiful, extravagant lace pattern covering the silk. This is perfect, everything I dreamed of.
Emily: You look so beautiful!
Aria: Thanks Em, I feel beautiful to.
Spencer: You ready to become Aria Fitz?
Aria: I sure am, but wait.
Spencer: Wait for what?
Aria: For Hanna, I'm not getting married without one of my best friends being there.
Hanna: Did I hear my name being called?
Emily: Yes, now come on, we need to take our seats!
Byron: You ready sweetheart?
Aria: Yes I am daddy and thank you for your blessing.
Byron: For you, anything darling. Come on now don't cry or you'll get me started.
As the music starts, me and my loving father start to walk down the aisle where everyone is staring at me with huge smiles, but Ezra hasn't looked at me yet.
The Vicar: You may now take your seats.
Ezra: You look beautiful.
Ezra's POV:
Aria: And you look handsome.
The Vicar: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the love and joy of Aria Montgomery and Ezra Fitz…. If any has any reasons why these to should not be joined in holy matrimony, then should they declare it now.
Hanna: I object!
Emily/Spencer: Hanna sit down!
Hanna: Sorry.
The Vicar: Anyone else? No, we then we will proceed. Ezra, do you take Aria to be your lawful wedded wife?
Ezra: I do
The Vicar: And Aria, do you take Ezra to be your lawful wedded husband?
Aria: I do.
The Vicar: Ok, Ezra repeat after me, I Ezra William Fitz, take you, Aria Elizabeth Montgomery to be my lawful wedded wife
Ezra: I Ezra William Fitz take you, Aria Elizabeth Montgomery to be my lawful wedded wife.
The Vicar: To love and to cherish, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health till death do us part.
Ezra: Told love and to cherish, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
The Vicar: And aria, repeat after me, I Aria Elizabeth Montgomery take you, Ezra James Fitz to be my lawful wedded husband,
Aria: I Aria Elizabeth Montgomery take you, Ezra William Fitz to be my lawful wedded husband.
The Vicar: To love and to cherish, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
Aria: to love and to cherish, for richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
The Vicar: I now give you the greatest of pleasure to pronounce you Husband and Wife.
Aria's POV:
As the vicar pronounces us husband wife, we find ourselves locked in a kiss that feels like it could last forever, but finally breaks after a couple of seconds.
Aria: I love you so much Ezra Fitz.
Ezra: And I love you so much more Aria Fitz.
As we say these sentences, we are hugging and kissing again, the we break and walk down the aisle and out of the church.
Hanna/Emily/Spencer: CONGRATULATIONS MR AND MRS FITZ!
I chuckle and thank my three best friends who I have know for like forever.
Ezra: Shall we?
Ezra says this gesturing to the horse and carriage that we eventually climb into and then everyone else follows in their transport behind us.
Aria: Ezra, are you ok, you look un-easy?
Ezra: I couldn't be more happier than to call you my wife and the love of my life!
Aria: Awwww!
We pull up to the reception and Ezra climbs out of the carriage and offers me his hand to help me climb down.
Aria: Thank you Prince Charming!
Ezra: So Cinderella, shall we go to the ball?
Aria: Of course and we can dance the night away!
As our wedding was about the time of lunch, there was quite a lot of people around and they were staring, also shouting congratulations! Everyone is already in the reception room and as we walk in, my three best friends shout…
Hanna/Emily/Spencer: Could you please welcome, YOUR BRIDE AND GROOM!
As we enter, everyone is cheering and clapping. We then take our seats, along with the groomsmen, the brides maids and our parents at top table. We've been having the speeches, but there is a surprise one from… Hanna!
Hanna: Everyone, can I have your attention please. I'd like to say a speech about the bride and groom.
Ezra's POV:
I chuckle and give aria a peck on the lips as Hanna starts her speech.
Hanna: Aria Fitz, wish you were still a Montgomery for your own sake because, I don't want you to get hurt, by a man that really, has hurt us all in a way. Maybe not physically, but through our minds we have been hurt.
Ezra: Hanna, I think you should sit down!
Aria: No, no Ezra, let her finish.
Hanna: Thanks, as I was saying, I have known Aria for as long as I can remember, and she is more than just a friend, she is like a sister to me, and so is Spencer and Emily. I would do anything for aria, I would, like a love of her life, jump in front of a train for her or take a bullet for her, but of course he would do that! Of course Ezra would do that, to cover up who he truly is. He is a man that isn't kind, he isn't who you think he is, he is a lying fucking MONSTER!
Ezra: Hanna, you should really sit down now!
Aria: No Ezra, this sounds interesting! Go on Hanna.
Hanna: Thanks again, but when we were in high school, we all thought that Mr Fitz, our ex English teacher, was a kind and caring man, we were wrong! He did something to me that is going to take years to recover from.
Aria has Tears coming down her cheeks.
Hanna: He did something out of anger and I'm glad it didn't happen to you Aria. In fact it shouldn't of happened to me either, because I have no idea what I did to deserve it. Ezra Fitz is a man that should be locked up and the key should be thrown away.
Aria: Hanna, w,what did he do?
Hanna: Ezra Fitz r,r,r,raped me!
As she says this, she sits down crying and Spencer and emily try to comfort her. Aria stands up and I try to follow her and then she turns to me.
Aria: Is it true?
Ezra: No, you know me Aria, I wouldn't hurt a fly!
Aria: Your lying, and do you want to know how?
Ezra: How?
Aria's POV:
Aria: Because in these couple of days coming up to the wedding, you have been really shaky, you've been avoiding me, not feeling the mood when we made out. That is how I know Ezra, that's how.
Byron: Ok everyone, calm down.
Aria: When did this happen Hanna?
Hanna: A couple of weeks ago, on my birthday!
I pull Ezra's tie closer to me, but first I slap him.
Ezra: Aria, what was that for?
Aria: Don't patronise me! You know exactly what that was for, I'm giving you 10 seconds to run and if your not out of my sight by the end of the ten seconds, I swear, I will find you and I will kill you for what you have done. Oh and befor you go, I WANT A DIVORCE!
He starts to run, but when he gets to the fire exit..
Toby: Ezra Fitz, I'm arresting you for acquaintance rape, you may not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence, anything you do say may be given in evidence in court, do you understand?
As Ezra is taken away by police, I sit down and cry, my mom, dad, family and friends comfort me.
Hanna: I'm so sorry Aria!
Aria: It's ok, it's not your fault.
Ella: Aria, hunny, it's important that you tell us if he hurt you or not.
Aria: He never hurt me, but he hurt one of my best friends and I will never forgive him.
Ezra: Toby, Officer Cavanaugh, you have to believe me, I didn't rape her, we didn't even have sex!
Toby: Yeah, well you can explain what you have to say to Lieutenant Tanner at the police station.
Ezra: Please Toby, you have to believe me!
Toby: You hurt my girlfriend's best friend. What kind of sick man rapes his wife's best friend?
