Ezra stands up too Aria's dad!

* In his office*

Ezra has listened to Byron because he was scared, but not for himself. FOR ARIA! He could just hear the rumors that would be going around. He could see it clean as day. Rosewood is a small town. So, everyone is always in everyone elses business!

He could see the new papers also, people would buy them just because someone in Rosewood got in trouble or is just in them for some sort of reason. The paper in his mind would make it worst then over. The cover page would read.

"Teenager is dumb, and falls for her teacher, Teacher is in jail, because parents call cops!"

Her dad was sure to call the cops if he didn't listen, and stay away. It was driven him crazy though. He missed the girl that he loves more then anything, but he didn't want her to get hurt bythis stupid town, and he wouldn't be there to comfort her when she cried, because her dad sends him to jail.

Just because he didn't see her doesn't mean he doesn't think about her though, but how can you not think about the person that you love more then anything in the world! He made a plan to talk to her dad after his last class of the day.

By the end of the day he hoped that his girlfriend, the love of his life, would be back in his arms where she was meant to be all along.

* Aria dad's office*

Ezra knocked on the door of the office, and waited for Bryon to look up from the paper that he was in the middle of grading, when he did look up that is when he came in finally.

Bryon looked him over, and noticed he almost looked as bad as Aria did. Ezra looked like he was getting less sleep then Aria was also. He tried to make himself not care, but he couldn't, because he did. Ezra was his Friend, but Aria was his daughter, and he didn't know if he was ready to give her up yet. He was suppose to have two more years left at least for her to be his little girl.

"You look like crap."

"I feel like crap look, I know you hate me, and you have every right, but I lost the one thing in my life that made me care about living for. you told me to stay away, and I will,but I won't give up on her. NEVER! I love her too much!

Bryon looked shocked and he could tell Ezra meant it. He did love Aria.

bryon knew his daughter could have any single guy in this town if she wanted, but she wanted the one right in front of , he has to let it go, because to tell you truth, if it wasn't for the teacher thinghe wouldn't have a problem with it, and if Aria was closer to 18 then she was he would feel a lot better also.

He looked into Ezra's eyes, and they were begging him to understand.

"I need to talk to Ella about my plan, but I will call you. and maybe you can come to dinner tonight".

*** Ella and Byron talk about the plan, and about everything that happened that day.***

Ella agrees to the plan, and goes to tell Aria to get dressed for dinner, but to wear something nice, because they were having a friend over for dinner.
