Days had past since I last spoke to Ezra outside of school. He hadn't been answering any of my phone calls or text. I sighed as I got his voice mail yet and again before glancing at the clock. It was just passed eight and I knew that he would either be up reading or grading papers so I decided to drop by unannounced since he was avoiding me. I grabbed my keys and purse and headed out of the house.
His car was parked outside his apartment and I climbed the stairs and waited outside his door. I knocked a few times but he didn't answer so I decided to grab the spare key in the plant that he kept by the door. He was always loosing things especially his keys and decided that that would be the perfect place for a spare key. I opened the door and buried the key back in the plant and pushed opened the door.
I heard the shower running from the living room and figured that's why he didn't hear me knock, so I decided to wait till he was done so we could talk. I walked around the small studio apartment and noticed that things were slightly different from the last time I was here. Nothing noticeable to anyone who hadn't pay attention to the small details but since I always did it stood out to me. The apartment was cleaner then I every seen it even when I helped him straighten up his place.
The place smelled of homemade food and sweet scented candles. Neither of which would have been Ezra's decision since he can neither bake nor cook and he hated the smell of fruity candles and innocents around his apartment. The bookshelf was stacked with cook books and female novels.
And then it hit me. The evidence was right there all along. The reason that he hadn't called or text me back or even looked at me when we were in class wasn't because of what I told him but because he had moved on. Probably with someone much older than me and who he didn't have to hide in his apartment all the time or who had to wait fifty seconds before he left the house after her for a fear of getting caught.
I turned around and headed for the door before I could be spotted. All this was way too much to handle and I couldn't dare face him or see him with another women. As I headed towards the door I heard the shower turn off and the giggling and the silence. My hand reached for the door knob but I stopped when I heard that voice. A voice that I would recognize from anywhere. One that I often heard so many times.
"Mom?"
I heard footsteps enter the room and the stopped followed by a loud gasp. I slowly turned around to face the two people that I trusted more than anything in this world. They both looked at me petrified. Her hands, that were once at his waist dropped as she stood behind them. Both wearing nothing but towels what they had done clearly written on their face.
"Aria" she whispered her voice as small as mine was.
I stood their frozen. I couldn't move nor speak.. All I kept thinking was that the two people I loved most in the whole entire world betrayed me in the worst possible way.
Ezra inched towards me about to speak, but I tore out of there before the words could leave his lips. I ran out of the apartment and to my car as fast as I could not daring to look back. I sped away quick not checking to see if him or my mom was following me.
I had stopped at a red light blocks away from Ezra's apartment, and broke down into tears. I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Ella and Ezra together. The imagine of him kissing her the way he kissed me or touching her made me sick.
I had been so focused on the thoughts that I hadn't seen the bright lights coming towards me but instead was pulled away from my thoughts by the sound of blaring horn. I blinked the tears out of my eyes enough so that I could see and what I saw was a car coming towards me. I swirled in time to avoid getting hit by the car but drove my car into a tree.
My head based into the steering wheel as a saw glass flying everywhere and the airbag deployed. I heard frantic voices from the outside of the car and saw a pair of icy blue eyes before I blacked out.
