sitting here on the same bed that I have for over a year now, The difference is - Aria isn't here with me this time. She wanted me to leave town, Actually she demanded me to leave town and I knew if I didn't then I was a more horrible person than I thought I was. I had done her wrong in ways I didn't want to, I knew what I was getting myself into when I came to Rosewood but falling for Aria Montgomery was not on my list. It was one of those things that no matter what you do, You can't avoid it. I laugh to myself, Hearing her voice ring in my head 'Mr. Fitz.' Times use to be simple, But then again those were the times when I was lying to her and going behind her back. I wanted to do something significant in life, Writing a book about Alison Dilaurentis sure seemed like a good start; She was beautiful, young and she had remarkable things happen to her that made a story so worth it. Of course, I had an idea of who the four girls were before I even came to Rosewood. I had learned that Spencer had a hard time with drugs, Strives for perfection and that her parents were both lawyers. I knew some of the things she had done the night Alison disappeared, There were so many times I almost told Aria but I always stopped myself. I knew I was in way over my head once her and I started getting serious, I also knew it would only end in disaster.
With Emily, I knew she was in the closet waiting to come out but I'm not sure if she knew it at the time. It was made clear that her passion was swimming, Which she is very good at. She was also the quiet one of the group. Hanna is another story, I was quite shocked when I met her for the first time. Everything about Hanna I had ever heard was bad, But she isn't a bad person like many people made her out to be. She use to have major weight issues and theft issues.

It's kind of bizarre that before I met Aria, I knew a lot about her. I knew she loved to write and she loved her family, I knew an outline of her dads affair and that she had minor anger issues. But I never imagined what I didn't know about her would make me fall inlove with her.

I shake my head, I dwell on things to much; Its one of my biggest flaws but how am I suppose to help it? Maybe I should leave, I know its the least I can do after all I have done, But I won't leave for good.. I can't. I sigh to myself as I grab my cell phone off of the coffee table with in my apartment, Debating if I'm doing the right thing. Of course I'm doing the right thing, I think to myself. I hover over Aria's name, touching the small Icon to send her a message. 'Hey, I know you don't want to talk but I got to make sure that this is what you really want.' I debate sending it, But I have to. I touch send quickly and put down my phone.. Hoping she doesn't kill me for the text. Sitting down on the couch, I lean my head back and wait for a reply.

[ARIA'S P.O.V]

I was just in the middle of throwing up when I got a very unexpected text from Ezra, I had to fight with my mind and heart before deciding to look at it. I sighed to myself, 'We need to talk.' I texted him back then put my phone down on the marble counter with in my bathroom. I wanted him to leave more then anything in this world, He hurt me beyond repair and how is someone supposed to look someone they love in the face after all I have found out. There was a slight problem with him leaving though, There were new things coming into play that I could not stop from happening. Sucking in a deep breath, I seen as my phone vibrated on top of the counter; I picked it up slowly. 'You can come over if you want.' Ezra had texted me, I nodded at the text; Even though he couldn't see. The last two times I had been at his apartment were... Not very pleasant. Between destroying his apartment and then telling him to leave, It was awkward to say the least. I moved my thumbs slowly, Thinking of what I should say.. Shrugging to myself as I sent him a text saying 'Okay.'

I pulled up in the back parking lot of Ezra's apartment building, Staring up at where his apartment balcony was. Smiling to myself as I think of the times spent on that same balcony just months before, Hand in hand with him. I bit my lip, Knowing if I thought to long about it.. There was a good chance I would cry. ''Here goes nothing.'' I said to myself out loud, Not joyed by what was about to take place. Grabbing my purse as I pull out Ezra's apartment key, Pained at myself that I haven't given it back yet. I shut the car door and make my way to the back door of the apartment.

I arrive at Ezra's door, I read his apartment number over and over '3b, 3b, 3b' Finally, I roll my eyes at myself frustrated at how nervous I'm acting. I raise my hand and knock on the door three times.

[EZRA'S P.O.V]

I hear the low knocks come from my door, I didn't think Aria would be here that fast so it must be important. I get up off the couch, Quickly going to the door and opening it. I read Aria's facial expression slowly, Sad, Disappointed, Nervous - And something else in the mix but I'm not sure what.

''Hey.'' I say simply, Not sure what else to say.

Surprisingly, Aria gives me that cute small smile of hers ''Hey.''
For the first time with in a few days, I see forgiveness with in that smile.

I move out of the way, Letting Aria step inside as I close the door behind her.
''So..'' Aria started, I could tell right off the bat that she felt awkward.

''Look, I thought about what you said. '' I paused, Thinking back to the conversation. ''If it's what you really want, I will leave.''

I watched Aria as she shook her head, Her dark brunette hair perfectly responding with her motions. I furrowed my brows, Waiting for her to explain.
''That's not why I came here, Well it is.. But also.. Something else.'' Aria told me slowly.

I stood inches away from her, Not wanting to get too close but also wanting to know what she had to say.
''I think I'm pregnant.'' Aria's eyes met mine as my heart skipped a beat at the Revelation she had just let out. ''W-What?'' I stuttered, Taken back by her confession.
It felt like my eyes were about to bulge out of my skull.

''Did... Did you take a test?'' I asked, Wondering why she thought she was pregnant.

''Not yet.. That's why I came here.'' Aria told me in honesty, I nodded.

''Then what makes you th-'' I started, Aria cut me off ''I've been throwing up for the past week, Ezra.''

I let out a low 'oh', ''Did you buy.. a test?'' I questioned, Aria shook her head. ''No, I was hoping you could come with me. It's kind of the least you could do.''

It didn't take a genius to realize Aria was scared, I didn't blame her because I was scared too. I zoned out, Thinking way to much in my head ''Ezra?'' Aria said in a small voice, I shook my head as I came out of my daze. I looked down at her, ''Lets go to the store then.'' I told her, My voice feeling like it would give out at any moment. Aria gave me a small nod as we made our way for the door.

The car ride was silent, I couldn't say much to make things better but I could say a lot of things to make it worse. I didn't know what to say honestly, The past few minutes had went so quick that I wasn't sure what was real anymore. I parked infront of a pharmacy that laid with in the main strip of Rosewood, I turned the ignition off and stuffed my keys into the pocked of my hoodie. I turned, Looking at Aria as I seen a single tear fall from her eye ''Aria..'' I said slowly, Feeling the pain once again from my recent actions. ''We will get through this.'' I told her in all honesty, Aria nodded quickly as she wiped the tear from her eye.. My heart broke for her.

Aria and I got out of my car as we headed inside the pharmacy, A disgusted stair came from one of the fellow shoppers with in the store. Stares, Aria and I were almost use to them by now. More her then I, Every time someone looked at us I could just imagine what they were thinking and it killed me inside.
We made our way to the isle that held the enormous amount of pregnancy tests, All of them did the exact same thing yet they all had something slightly different to them.

''Which one should we...'' I said quietly, this was bad enough with the stares and whispers and now they see her and I picking out a pregnancy test?
''I don't know.'' Aria said flustered.
I picked one off the shelf, Looking over its bright blue box that demanded 'over 99% accuracy, with conception indicator.' ''How about this one?'' I asked in a low tone.
Aria nodded shyly as she gave a shrug of her shoulders, If we tried to fool someone into thinking we knew what we were doing or knew which one was better then the other - We would fail.

I approached the counter, Feeling the eyes of everyone in the store diminish any slight happiness I had. Aria stood beside me.
I gave the cashier a small smile.. I could just imagine the thoughts that were flying through his head.

'Is this your daughter?' 'Is this your sister?' 'Are you with him against your will?' 'She is just a child' I shook my head, Trying to not let it get to me.
I pulled out my wallet as Aria placed her hand on mine ''No, Ezra. I got this.'' She told me, I nodded.. Kicking myself in the ass for what she had just said, Now everybody knew that we were a couple.. Well not a couple but, At this point I don't know what we are.

Aria and I hoped back into my car ''That was fun.'' Aria said sarcastically, I held my breath.. I didn't know what to say. What was I suppose to say?

I flopped on the couch as Aria headed towards the bath room ''Did you want me to go in with you?'' I asked as I propped myself up on the couch.
''I think I can manage.'' She said almost innocently, But she wasn't innocent. Here she was with a 26 year old man, in his apartment - Taking a pregnancy test.
I pinched the bridge of my nose, Wanting to stop these thoughts that fled through my head. I always felt like I corrupted Aria and gave her the completely wrong out look on life, I made things so hard for her.

I heard the bathroom door open, I sprang to my feet quickly ''Ezra..'' Aria called.. I made my way to the bathroom as I stood in the door way.
Aria looked so beautiful and it took everything inside of me not to walk up to her and hold her. ''I have to wait two minutes for the results.'' Aria told me, I looked down at her.. So tiny yet so cute. We stood there in silence, ''Did you want a coffee?'' I asked her, Feeling that these next two minutes were going to pass by rather slow.
Aria gave me a small smile and nodded as we left the bathroom and went into the kitchen, I pulled two mugs out of the left cabinet with in my kitchen, Pouring the rest of the freshly made coffee with in both of the mugs. I was taken back when Aria went in the fridge and grabbed the milk ''I'm sorry.. I just..'' Aria started, Noticing her actions. I gave a small laugh ''It's fine, Aria.'' I told her.. It made me feel like she was still comfortable here.

After waiting for what seemed to be eternity, Aria and I walked into the washroom - Both with the same nervous posture. ''I can't look..'' Aria said, I nodded my head down low and bit my lip. ''I'll look.'' I told her.
This was the most serious moment in both her and my own life, Yeah I had some what been through this with Maggie; The difference is.. Maggie didn't include me in any of it. I'm surprised Aria is even letting me be apart of this. I had taken place in a huge enormity, I didn't think this would come out of it.

I slowly turned my gaze down to my small counter top, The test laid there in plain view ''Can you give me the instructions?'' I asked her as I looked at her over my shoulder.
''For what?'' she asked, slightly confused. ''I don't know how many lines is pregnant and not pregnant.'' I laughed, Feeling stupid. Aria raised her head ''Two is pregnant, One is not pregnant.'' She informed me. I nodded as I turned my head back towards the test.
Two very clear blue lines had formed on the pregnancy test, I had to keep my emotions in check because I knew if I lost it.. So would Aria.
I spun around on my heels slowly ''It's positive.'' I informed her, My voice cracking as I did so.
''What?'' Aria's face was filled with disbelief as she rushed over to my side, Inspecting the pregnancy test herself. My whole world was crumbling but at the same time, It was getting better. It felt like the two blue lines were giving me a big smack in the face, I never wanted this for Aria.

I walked over to the couch, Leaning my back against it as a low sigh escaped my pursed lips. I let my head hang down, Letting the thoughts cause chaos inside my head. Reality had come to quickly, This wasn't the way I expected it to happen. ''Ezra..'' Aria said in a low tone, I lifted my head to look at her tear filled eyes as I caught a glimpse of her trembling hands. Her lips trembled as I walked over to her, Sooner then I thought; Her arms wrapped around me eagerly. I knew she needed this, I just didn't think I'd be the person she would want to hug. Almost like a reflex, My arms fled to her waist. I leaned my chin on the top of her head, I could hear the heartbreaking sobs that escaped Aria's perfect plump lips. ''How.. What are we going to do?'' She cried into me, I held onto her tighter. ''We will figure this out.'' I told her honestly ''Will you stay?'' Aria pleaded, I felt a pearl shaped tear fall from my eye as I nodded ''Yes, I'll stay.'' I told her as I placed a small kiss on the crown of her head. What the hell was going to happen now? I didn't want to leave in the first place so this gave me a damn good excuse to stay but it wasn't an excuse it was Aria and my own life.
