Hi so this is my new fan fiction and this one is for keeps. I deleted Lies Never Told since my ideas and the story was rubbish and also changed my username to my Instagram name so you can check that out. I really hope you enjoy this story and all ideas were my own. Thank you for reading!

Aria's POV

I looked down at the box. The dark wood box made me think more and more of them. They didn't deserve to die only aged 28 but whats done is done. I looked behind at my young child dressed in black. They shouldn't have to be here for me but they are. I bent down and kissed the box and whispered "Goodbye..."

SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE

I looked up from my high school chair at Ezra. Spencer my best friend noticed me staring and kicked me in the shin.

"What was that for?" I whispered

"Too obvious!" she whispered back not so quietly causing everybody to look in our direction.

"Is there a problem Miss. Hastings?" Ezra said very teacher like causing me to giggle quietly. Ezra gave me a head tilt as if to say "Shut up!"

"Uhhh no Mr. Fitz, I just spotted Aria staring off into space so I gave her a boost" Spencer smiled. I laughed at her into my hand like everybody was.

"Yeah to go to space!" I giggled under my breath whilst holding my calf with a cowboy-shoe-heel shaped bruise on it. Hanna and Emily heard and also giggled from behind. Spencer turned to me shaking her head giving me the classic Spencer look.

"Miss Hastings, Miss Marin, Miss Fields and Miss Montgomery?" Ezra called to us. We all stared at him and then at our writing.

"Too obvious!" I whispered to Spencer and she shoved me in the shoulder jokily.

After English it was time for lunch. Ezra asked me to stay in his classroom. I sat on the corner of his desk.

"I've been thinking for a few weeks now that..." his words trailed off until he barely spoke.

"Ezra?" I said worriedly to what he might say.

"We should get married!" he finally said. I looked at him confused in silence for a few seconds and then he jumped up out of his seat and around the desk. He pulled out a ring box and then bent down on one knee. Was this happening? Tears rolled down my eyes now."Aria Montgomery, will you marry me?" I jumped up in tears and just stared at him for a few seconds trying to work out whether this was real.

"Yes! Of course I will!" I exclaimed before jumping into his arms. He held onto me and it felt like we were flying.

"Aria!" yelled a familiar voice. I turned around and it was Spencer with Hanna and Emily. Hanna and Emily greeted me with congratulations and girly screams at the ring. As much as I was happy to see them happy I could tell that Spencer was angry at me.

"Aria, you're 17 years old. What the hell are you thinking?" Spencer said calmly but stern.

"That maybe I could have a Happily Ever After. Spence, no one can ever know. Yeah?" I said hopefully she'd agree with me but she just stared at me speechless with the Spencer look.

Ezra's POV

God what was I thinking. Spencer's right. She's 17 and my student. It would never stay quiet, especially since she's friends with Hanna Marin, possibly the biggest gossiper I've ever taught but she will be loyal to Aria I hope. Emily should keep this a secret but Spencer... I don't know. She's smart for sure but is she too smart. Maybe she might be smart enough to not let her friend go through with this but maybe she's smart enough to let her. No Ezra you made the wrong decision this time. This will get you arrested, you can't marry your student!

"You're right Spencer" I said without thinking. Aria flipped around to stare at me heartbroken "I can't marry Aria. She's 17 and my student it's just wrong. But I love her and I've already booked it in a church in New York. You can come if you wanted to and so can you two but no one can ever know that me and Aria are going to be married"

Hanna, Emily and Aria did a girly squeal at my words whilst Spencer just walked over to me.

"I'm more than happy for you," she whispered in my ear "But hurt her and your dead!" she walked away laughing at me so I laughed back, slipping the ring onto Aria's left ring finger.

So what did you think of this chapter and what should happen next in New York? Who's in the box? Is Spencer really happy for Aria? Does Spencer even like Ezra? Will this Ezria wedding actually happen or is it too complicated? Will Aria's parents find out? Leave your answers in your reviews. Thanks for reading! xxx
