I hope you all enjoy. A/N at the end.

Aria Montgomery sat in her room, looking at the letter in front of her. Although she originally planned to attend SCAD in the fall, she now held in her hand and acceptance letter Lauten University, a liberal arts College in Boston, very similar to Hollis College. Although getting as far away from Rosewood, and all that she and her friends had been through the last couple of years, had been her top priority, she couldn't imagine being so far away from her family. As she continued to mull over whether to to go all the way to Savannah, Georgia as planned, or to stay close to home in Boston, she heard her phone beep, signaling an incoming text message. As usual, she flinched, worried that the infamous 'A' was contacting her. However, she let out a relieved yet irritated sigh when she read the name of the sender, "Andrew."

"Want to grab a bite to eat?"

Although she appreciated Andrew's tutoring, an valued his friendship, she was worried that he was getting the wrong idea concerning their "relationship." Her view of their situation was that of being just friends, in light of the kiss they shared in a moment of weakness and concern for her brother, had her worried that he wanted more, and that was the last thing she wanted at this point of her life.

She was still madly in love with Ezra Fitz, and although she agreed that her going of to college single was for the best, she was still slightly disappointed that he chose to end things now, rather then have a long and drawn out goodbye when she left in August. It wasn't a surprise to herself that she liked Andrew, and maybe things would have been different if her feelings for Ezra were not a part of the equation, but they were. Aria finally picked up her phone, and sent a response to Andrew. "Maybe another time, I can't tonight."

After hitting send, Aria became concerned that she was maybe leading him on, giving him hope for a future 'date,' however she couldn't think about that now. After spending the next thirty minutes trying to choose between the two schools, Aria decided she needed to get out of the house, and out of her head. She quickly grabbed her jacket and keys, and exited her house, making her way towards her car. As she began to drive, she found that she was headed towards the Brew, as if i was second nature. After pulling up in front, she soon became nervous about seeing him.

Even though they had agreed to remain a part of each other's lives, they still hadn't been in contact with each other since their breakup. As she exited the car and made her way towards the entrance of the coffee shop/ bookstore, her nerves began to subside. She realized that that no matter what their relationship status was, he was still the one person she could talk to about her current dilemma. She pushed on the door and entered the establishment currently owned be her ex-boyfriend, however she didn't see him anywhere. She soon saw her friend, Emily, and soon approached her.

"Hey Em, is he here?," Aria asked, knowing she would know exactly he she was looking for.

"Yeah, I think is in the back talking with the new chef. Want me to get him?"

Aria gave her friend a soft smile and simply replied, "Thanks," before Emily made her way towards the kitchen. Before the breakup, Aria would have simply gone back there herself, and although she knew he wouldn't mind, given everything that had happened, she didn't fell comfortable doing so. Soon after, Emily returned.

"He said to just give him a couple minutes and he'll be out."

"Yeah, no problem," was her response, "Can I get a coffee while I wait?"

"Of course," Emily said, before preparing Aria's drink the exact way she liked it. After handing it over, Aria went to pay.

"It's alright, Aria. He won't mind."

"I know, but it doesn't feel right. So just take it."

Emily took her money and then Aria made her way over to their groups usual seat. After sitting down, Aria heard the bell above the door, signaling someone had just entered the shop. Aria looked up, and soon regretted it when she saw Andrew Campbell walk in. Andrew soon saw her, and made his way over to where the object of his affection currently sat.

"Hey, beautiful," he said before sitting down, a little closer then Aria liked.

"Hey, what are you doing her?," she asked, worried that Ezra would see them.

"Well, the plans I hoped to have tonight fell through, so I decided to grab some coffee for my study session." What about you?"

"Oh, well Em gets off in a few, and we wanted to go see Hanna before visiting hours ended."

"That's great, I'm sure she would love to see you guys," Andrew said before leaning in and placing a soft kiss to her lips, once again taking her by surprise. As he pulled away, Aria heard someone clearing their throat behind them. Both Andrew and Aria turned to see Ezra standing there with a hurt look on his face. Andrew quickly moved from is seat next to Aria, paid Emily, and exited the shop to avoid the awkward situation that was coming.

"Ezra, I can explain."

A/N: I know that I haven't finished my other stories, but that won't happen with this one. I lost inspiration for those, but maybe I will eventually finish them. I started this story after the Ezria breakup in 5x22, which means that it doesn't exactly follow what has happened on the show since then. So I guess it's slightly AU. This is a story that I wished would happen between Aria and Ezra, and how I hoped they would resolve the Andrew storyline. Even though this won't happen on the show, I HATE ANDREW, and his "relationship" with Aria, so don't worry he's a serious creep in this story. Please read and review.
