A/N: A stole Aria's phone and texted Spencer about her and Ezra's fake break up. Spencer confronts him in the park. This is what I think is going to happen tonight in 3x17.


Aria panicked. Her phone was missing, again. She lost it again after Merideth stole it and now she was freaking out. What if she left it at Ezra's? What if he saw the text messages that she had sent the girls about Malcom and Maggie? No, he would've talked to her about it by now. Aria slumped back on her bed, taking a pillow and covering her face with it. When would the games stop?


Spencer was just walking out of school when she recieved Aria's text.

Ezra freAked. He broke up with me. Meet me in the park?

She started to get angry. How could Ezra possibly get mad at Aria to keep a secret that wasn't hers to tell?! He should be angry at the Maggie bitch, not Aria! It wasn't her fault. Spencer was furious by the time she got to her car. The park where Mona had her birthday party was still a meeting place for the girls, even though it was a public place. Then, a thought came to Spencer: how could she comfort Aria when her own relationship with Toby took a turn for the worst?

When Spencer arrived, the park was almost vacant. A few people were at the picnic tables with laptops with others were aimlessly walking around on the path. She twirled around, in search of Aria, who was no where to be found.

Weird. Spencer thought. She should be here by now.

he stammered out.

"How could you get mad at Aria like that?! You had no right to! Do you know how hard it is to keep a secret like that? Maggie should have been the responsible one and told you about him, not Aria. How can you live with yourself?!" Spencer freaked. Her face was red with anger and she was out of breath from talking, only taking two breaths in between. Ezra still looked confused.

"Spencer, I have no idea what you're talking about. How do you know about Maggie?"

"Don't play here, Ezra," Spencer snapped. Ezra flinched at the use of his real name. "I'm Aria's best friend. You don't think that we share everything? Aria did the right thing by coming to you about Malcom and all you did was freak out at her!"

"Who the hell is Malcom?!" Ezra yelled back, a little quieter than Spencer.

"Your son!" Spencer said, as if to snap him out of his memory loss. Suddenly, she realized her mistake. She clapped her hand over her mouth and shook her head. He didn't know because Aria didn't tell him. She whipped out her phone and reread the text message and gasped. This was from A, not Aria! "I'm so sorry, Ezra- Mr. Fitz. I- I thought you knew. I'm so sorry!" Then, Spencer ran away, leaving Ezra in a rage.


The next day, Ezra stormed into Rosewood High. Yesterday, he talked to Maggie and she confirmed what Spencer had said. He gave a short wave to Mr. Tamborelli before walking into the lunch room. Honestly, he didn't care if he made a scene.

"Aria?" he said as he approached his girlfriends table. She turned around and her smile turned into a confused look. Spencer cast her eyes down, not wanting to look in neither Aria's nor Ezra's eyes. "We need to talk. Now." Aria nodded and grabbed her purse that was hanging on the chair. She followed Ezra outside to the courtyard, nervous as hell as to why he'd be here.

"What's going on?" Aria asked shyly.

"What's going on? Aria, cut the crap. I know about Maggie and Malcom. And I know that you knew and didn't say anything about it. You are the person I am supposed to trust, Aria!" Ezra yelled. Aria shrunk down into a shell. Her heart was racing and she could feel tears forming in her eyes.

"Ezra, I wanted to tell you but I couldn't! Maggie made me swear not to tell you! She wanted to wait! I was going to tell you on your birthday but..." her sentence trailed off.

"But what?" Ezra asked impatiently.

"But I was afraid. Afraid of what it might do to us! I didn't want you to leave me again," Aria whimpered.

"I can't believe you! We have been in this relationship for over a year! Haven't we learned to be honest with each other? Or has everything just gone down the drain?"

"We can be honest with each other, Ezra!" Aria tried to reach for his hand but he snatched it away.

"Then why do you feel it was necessary to lie? God, I can't believe I was such a fool!" Ezra tried to turn the other direction but Aria grabbed his arm and spun him back around to face her, her eyes were now streaming tears and her mascara wass running down her cheeks. Ezra hated seeing her like this.

"Why are you so mad at me and not at all mad at Maggie? She's the one with the kid! She lied too!" Aria snapped.

"Maggie isn't my girlfriend. And I guess you aren't either," Ezra ripped his arm away from Aria's grip and stalked off, out of the building. He left Aria standing in the courtyard, brokenhearted and crying.


A/N: This is meant to be a one shot but I might make it a two or three shot. Review and tell me what you think!
