Quick Note: Disclaimer: I do not own Pretty Little Liars.
This is and Ezria and Soby(Spencer and Toby. I'm kinda obsessed with them.) story. Okay? I couldn't bear to choose and I wanted to do a love story. It sonly from Ezra, Aria, Toby and Spencer's POV. Sorry, if it's disappointing. =(Okay. Now that we've gotten through that awkward announcement. Lets begin!
-Aria-
I groaned as the doorbell rang. Morning, already? I forced myself up and like a zombie walked to the door. Spencer, Hanna and Emily were all there. The came in, since they were always welcome here. Spencer still looked shaken. You don't get over someone trying to kill you very easily. Spencer was strong though. She'd get through this.
We were all exhausted. Last night, we were supposed to get taken in for questioning, but they police were too tired. We knew they'd come today. Everyone was at my house because they didn't want to be the only one taken in.
"Sorry I'm not presentable. But guys, it's the morning. Did you expect me to be."? I said, halfheartedly. Then the reason I was sad, seemed to text me. My phone went off again. I jumped, fearing it was A, but Ezra's name glinted on the screen. I ignored it. Hanna gave me a concerned look. As did Emily and Spencer. They could tell, I was hurting.
"Anyways, first order of business. What are we supposed to do about A? A killed someone last night. What else is A capable of?" Hanna asked.
"Guys, A killed someone to save Spencer. Maybe we shouldn't be stressing this. Spencer might not… Be here if not for A." Emily pointed out.
"You guys, have a point. A save Spence, but that doesn't mean she could do that to us." I added to the conversation. Spencer just sat there, staring.
I walked over to her "Spence, are you… Okay? You seem numb. I'm worried."
"Just… Scared. What if he's still alive? He could come back anytime." Spencer whispered.
I sat next to her and held her hand then said "Spence, you saw him die. He can't be alive. His body disappearing was just A's way of reminding us, A isn't here to help us." She seemed a little happier after I told her this. She even smiled a bit. Mission complete.
"What if A try's too hurt one of us?" Emily asked.
"Lets just stop talking about this, okay? We're freaking ourselves out, as usual over A. Lets just stop and focus on other things." I said, pretty quickly.
"Aria: Voice of reason." Hanna teased and we all laughed. It seemed a weight lifted off our shoulders.
"Shut up. Guys, I'm going to go get dressed. So I can look a little decent." I said. My phone rang, saying there was a text. We all jumped a little, but it said Ezra. I ignored it. I'm pretty sure they all saw it, too because they all gave each other these looks. Looks we gave each other if we were concerned about the other.
I smiled a little fake smile and went upstairs. Strong and happy on the outside. Even though on the inside, I felt like my stomach had dropped down. Like I couldn't breathe whenever, I thought about him. It was psychically painful to stay away. I had to. What if he lied to me again?
I'm hardly one to be talking. How many times, had I lied to Ezra? How many stupid times had I lied? Not just to him, but to other people. I hated this. I was caught to deep into my lies to escape now. Way to deep.
-Ezra-
For the tenth time, I hit new message. Why did I have to lie to her? I would never forgive myself if I lost her again. My phone chirped. I picked it up, hoping it would be Aria. Praying. It wasn't. It was from some credit card company.
If only she would speak to me.
-Spencer-
"What's up with Aria? She saw who texted her, but wouldn't read it." Emily stated
"She's hurt." Hanna and I said in unison. "Jinx!"
"I thought so. Its because of the Jackie thing, right?" Emily asked.
"Yes. She needs to talk to him. Its killing her not to. She really loves him. The only question is does she know it?" Hanna said, looking straight at me. Was she talking about Toby and I or Ezra and Aria?
Before I could reply Emily answered, "I think she knows it. Just not how much."
-Aria-
As I came in everyone was silent. My phone rang and everyone turned towards me. Even Spencer wasn't looking so afraid anymore.
"Aria, that was Ezra wasn't it?" Spencer asked.
"Yes." I said. That was it, I cracked. I started crying. All three got up and scoped me in a bear hug.
"What if… If… He wants… Her instead?" I sobbed as we all sad down. Hanna rubbed my shoulder. Spencer put and arm around me. Emily got up and grabbed some chocolate. Then sat down across us.
"Aria. Do NOT ever think that! You are good enough. Why didn't he go running back to her? He keeps texting you, right?" Hanna stated. She had a point.
"What if it something bad, he's texting me about? What if he wants to end… End it? What if I'm just the rebound?" I sobbed.
"You'll never know until you read it.' Emily said. Spencer pushed my phone towards me. I clicked it on.

Aria, I am so sorry. I should have never lied to you. Please. Please call me or come over. I have something to tell you.
I hit the arrow and the next message popped up on the screen. Hanna and Spencer were reading over my shoulder.
I'm sorry. I love you. Please come over. Please
The next said…
I saw you on the news, are you okay? Please call me. I love you.
"Awwww." Hanna, Spencer and now Emily said. The rest were something like that. Texts telling me he loved me, asking me if I was okay. Telling me to come over.
As soon s I put down my phone Spencer said "Go see him. Just go." She looked up and smiled. If Spencer wanted me to, I probably should.
"Go." Emily agreed.
"Just go, you idiot," Hanna teased. I smiled and got up.
"You guys, Mike's here and my parents are still sleeping. DO you want me to drive you back? I feel so bad you guys just got here." I told them.
"Forget about it. Why should we get in the way of true love?" Spencer joked. They all got up and followed me out of the door.
"Does anyone want a ride? I mean I feel so bad about leaving you guys." I asked.
"I'll walk. And Honey, its fine." Hanna teased. Everyone else agreed. We said our goodbyes and I was off.
Please let it be all-okay.
-Spencer-
I was almost to my house when someone grabbed me and pulled me back. I was about to scream, when this person kissed me. I knew in an instant that it was Toby. I could feel it. Whenever I kissed or just touched him, that bolt of electricity flowed through me.
"What was that for?" I asked breathlessly when we pulled away.
"You were almost killed. That was for surviving." He said smiling.
"Who told you that?" I asked.
"Your not the only one who watches the news, Spencer." He answered.
"You didn't think I was lying?" I asked.
"I told you, I believed you didn't I?" He answered wisely.
I smiled. At least someone did. I broke away from out embrace. Which believe me, was pretty hard. If I could, I would stay there forever.
"Come on. You can come in." I said and he followed me inside. My parents were with Melissa. I'd join them shortly, but I was afraid, she'd blame me. So afraid.
He took a seat and I offered him anything. He refused. Then I curled up in his lap as usual.
After a while he spoke "Spencer, you're shaking. What happened?"
"I am? Sorry, I just keep expecting him to come in. Come in and… Kill me. I'm just so afraid." I sobbed into his shirt. He stroked my hair and let me cry it out. Shh'ing me the entire time. I know I should have felt like a child, but I didn't. Instead, I actually felt safe.
-Toby-
I will kill him for doing this to her. I would, but he is already dead. She was broken, shaken and scared. I looked at her sobbing into my shirt and just hugged her tighter. So, so thankful she was safe.
-Ezra-
As I sat on the couch, feeling hopeless once again, someone knocked on the door, I moaned, "Come in.". Then in stepped, her.
I jumped up.
"Aria, I am so so sorry. I should have never lied to you. Please. Please forgive me." I begged.
"I just want to hear you out. Okay?" she said.
"Okay. I knew Jackie worked at Hollis. I thought she quit years ago. Okay?" I started to explain. "It was a shock to me when I saw her. Trust me." I added.
"How do I know, she won't hit on you or you won't go back to her? How do I know?" she asked, concerned. I could see this was what had been hurting her. This was it. I crossed over to her and closed the door, no one had been listening.
Aria looked at me with her beautiful wide eyes. I grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her up to me.
"You should know that I wouldn't. I LOVE you. Not her. YOU. You are my life. Not here. That's how." I said then we kissed.
"And she won't because, she's married to someone else, Aria." I said. Kissing once more. Everything was fine with us again.
An hour later…
-Aria-
I was on the couch, cuddling with Ezra when the local news came on.
"Top Story: Person of interest in Alison Dilaurentis's murder claimed that the person who she says killed Alison, Ian Thomas, tried to kill her last night at the local church. She claimed he was pushed by a figure in black and died. But when police checked the church, no body was found. Truth or Lie?"
"Ugh. We should turn this off." Ezra said. I stopped him.
"No. You know what happened. You know what there saying. I need to know, if it's the truth." I told him. It was something; I knew was going to hurt me. But something I needed to find out.
He agreed and we watched until the story came up. They talked through all the stuff everyone already knew. Then I got interested.
"What's interesting is that Ian is her sisters husband. Her sister, Melissa is pregnant with his child and was just in an accident with her. What going on here?" One of the announcers said.
"I know! What's the situation at home? You know what else, her best friends Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields and Hanna Marin claim she called them and they heard everything. Is this just a sad cry for attention or the truth?" One asked.
I jumped up and said "Its not. Your not even considering the idea, we might be telling the truth. Ian killed Alison and he was going to kill Spencer! Then us. Think about it. Please" I pleaded to the T.V
Ezra then jumped up and pulled me down. He shut off the T.V and pulled me into a strong hug. I felt… Security and started crying madly. I must look like such a mess.
I looked up at Ezra and said, "I'm sorry, but no one believes us. I heard everything. Spencer pleading with him to live, him screaming at her. Why would we lie anyway? We've gotten to much attention. We just. We just… Ugh."
He grabbed my chin and looked me in the eyes. What I saw… It made me shiver. Not with cold, or disgust. But… I don't how to put it. It was like lust. But, something deeper. Something way deeper.
"Hey, I know, you guys don't want attention. But there's something you should know." He said.
"What?" I whispered. Did he know something? Was it bad?
"I believe you." He whispered, and then kissed me again. Electricity shooting through my body.
My phone rang and I was forced to pull back. Arg. Then I checked it and got scared. It was A. I opened it.
I see you and Lover boy here have made up. Keep in mind that nothing is EVER okay. Not with me watching
-A
An hour later…
-Spencer-
My phone buzzed and I realized I had to go see Melissa. We didn't get along, but se was my sister and I wanted to see how she was doing… And how her baby was doing too.
"I have to go. I need to see Melissa and check on her. I'm sorry. But I'll probably bother you again. My family hates me now. I can tell." I sighed. It was true. If Ian went missing. To them, it would be my fault.
"Hey, they can't hate you, you're there family. If you need to stay somewhere else, knock on my window, anytime. And we'll go. Okay?" he said. I nodded. I was unable to speak. No one cared about me this much expect for the girls. And… I cared about him that much. Maybe even more. He lowered his lips to mine and kissed me. That electricity spread throughout me. We parted at the same time. I smiled and he grinned.
He then said goodbye and left. I leaned against the kitchen counter. Than my phone rang. I froze and check the screen. A.
I tried to keep my face calm as I read it.
Happy endings make me sick, bitch. Just remember there's a reason I kept you alive. Go find out. Kisses
-A
