Thanks to abcde143. We have become friends on facebook. After helping her out with her story for facebook chapter. She and I where talking one night about doing Aria meeting Ezra's brother.
Aria and Ezra were living life care free after Aria had meant Ezra's mother. Although they were laid cuddled together most of the time. There was something that Aria really never got. Why did Ezra lie to her about being loaded? Or the fact that his mother was loaded? And where's his brother?
As questions after questions started to flow through her mind, Aria stood up from the couch and headed into the kitchen.
"Are you okay?" Ezra asked Aria as he followed her into the kitchen, "You've been quiet for a while now."
Aria let out a breath and turned from her spot, "What are you keeping from me?" She asked with more curiosity in her voice, "Please Ezra, no more secrets."
Ezra turned around and started to pace the kitchen, "I was never into family money. To me it was better to work and earn it; rather than having it just given to me. So when I went to college I had dropped the end of my last name." He explained truthfully, "I just didn't want anyone to see me as the person who came from family money."
"But I don't see you like that," Aria stopped him from pacing, "I see you for who you are. My man." She smiled playfully, "Now I have another question for you." Aria sucked in a breath, "Spencer had gotten invited to this college party and wanted us girls to go." Ezra looked at Aria confused, "Will you come with us?"
Ezra laughed thinking it was a joke, but stopped short when he saw Aria frown, "You're serious?" He asked her and she nodded, "Umm, Who's party?"
"Noel Kahn's older brother." Aria answered looking Ezra directly in his sea blue eyes, "Will you come?"
"You really want me too?" Ezra asked unsure of how to really answer that. The last time Ezra had gone to a college party was when he was actually in college. When Aria kept that hopeful eye on him; he had nothing better to do than to say yes.
"Thank you!" Aria kissed his lips, bringing her arm's to wrap around his neck. Ezra pulled Aria flush against him and started to kiss him back. "I love you,"

Aria's POV:
Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily were just lounging around Spencer's huge bedroom. Reading and talking about A. Then were set to be at the party a little pass 10 and since they girls had told their parents that they were staying at Spencer's.
"So Ezra's really coming?" Emily asked me and I nodded, "Is it going to be weird for him?"
I shrugged, "Why? Because of Noel?" I asked looking over at Hanna because she was the one that hooked us up. "I don't see Noel like that," I defended myself. "What about you Han? Has Caleb even talked to you?"
Hanna shook her head and looked over to Emily, "He hasn't been answering any of my calls."
"It's going to be okay." I told her with a slight hint of smile.
The rest of our free hours were spent getting ready. To be honest the last time that we had even attended a party like this was with Alison and that's when Ian was still alive and walking around the streets.
A quarter to nine the girls and I were ready to go and head over to Noel Kahn's cabinet. Ezra was going to pick me and Hanna up and then Spencer was going to drive her car and pick up Toby and take Emily with her.
"I'm down stairs." Ezra said in a text message a few minutes later.
"Ezra's here." I had typing a reply to tell him that Hanna and I would be right down.
"Are you ready?" I asked looking at Hanna; she was wearing this simple floral dress. Something that I would normally use but ended up wearing a simple jeans pants and top.
"Yeah, just let me get my bag, "Hanna told me walking around the bed.
"So we'll meet up out front right?" Spencer asked clarifying our plans.
I nodded, "Just call or text us when you picked up Toby. I kind of want a cup of coffee first."
Spencer looked at me with a deep glare, "I made coffee."
I laughed, "No I want real coffee." I smirked taking my purse and walking right out the door.
I smiled once I spotted Ezra out next to his car; he was wearing the same colored clothing as me.
"What did the two of you color coordinate?" Hanna asked rolling her eyes as she did.
I shrugged, "What did you expect? We're in love." I said playfully.
"Hey baby." Ezra walked over to me giving me a kiss to my cheek. "Hey Hanna." Ezra greeted.
"Mr. Fitz." Hanna said seductively, "You look different."
Ezra nodded, "You know you can call me Ezra. And thank you!" He smiled and opened the door for the both of us to get in.
"Thank you!" I smiled and kissed Ezra on the lips before getting in the car and putting on my seat belt.
"So ladies," Ezra started up the car at the same time Spencer and Emily headed out to Spencer's car, "Are we ready to go?"
"Yup, just can I ask you a favor?" I pleaded, "I need coffee, and so can we make a quick stop."
"Anything for you." Ezra grabbed my hand and gave it a tight squeeze.

Ezra's POV:
I pulled up into the parking lot of Starbucks, it was the only coffee shop opened at this time of night. Aria and I had gotten out and Hanna stayed behind in the car saying she was saving her walking for the party.
I grabbed Aria's hand and led her into the shop, it wasn't crowded just a few other couples in the shop.
"So what do you feel like having?" I asked looking up at the menu. "Something light or heavy?" I questioned still looking up at the board.
"Hmm," Aria mumbled biting her lip, "Maybe just a house coffee with a shop of Hazelnut in it. But then I kind of want an espresso shot too." She said undecided. "What do you want?"
I shrugged, "I could really go for a hot chocolate." I smiled widely, "I'm not drinking so I really don't' need the coffee for later."
Aria laughed, "What makes you think I'll be drinking?" She smirked playfully.
"Because I know you; you'll be taking a sip or two. Or maybe just downing the whole thing." I joked, "But I don't mind, it's up to you!"
"Good evening, what can I get you two?"
"A tall Hot Chocolate and A Grande Hot coffee with a shot of espresso and hazelnut." I answered the lady as I took out my wallet, but Aria was already on top of it. "I can pay for your coffee Aria." I told her.
"My treat, it would make up for later." She told me with a mischievous grin.
"I'll take that."
LINE BREAK:
As we entered the dark woods of the forest; Aria held on tight to my free hand giving it a squeeze every now and then. On occasion we would hear the tapping of Hanna on her phone.
As we had gotten closer to the cabin I started to look for a safe place to park. There were tons of cars and the sound of the music was as loud as a concert. I pulled into a spot next to a white Nissan Sentra and parked the car.
"Are you ladies ready?" I asked opening the door slightly ajar so the head lamp would turn on. "If not we can go back home?" I offered seeing as no one was moving.
"It's not that." Hanna let out. "The last time we were here, was with Ali."
Aria nodded, "It sure brings back a lot of memories." Aria looked over at me and smiled, "It was Halloween, and Ali had come up with this stupid idea to scare us in this old ugly looking house." Aria rolled her eyes, "Let's just say that it worked."
"Yeah," Hanna piped in, "I swear I almost shit myself." She laughed, "But it was a hell of a good laugh after we weren't pissed."
Aria opened the door and let go of my hand, "Let's do this."
Aria and walked hand in hand with Hanna right behind us. I turned around and looked at Hanna who had a huge smile on her face; I gave her a quizzically look and then shrugged it off as I followed Aria into the party.
There were people that I didn't even know; and then there were other people that I had recognized from Hollis College, from when I used to work there. A lot of them gave me the same weird look and the other's just congratulated me on making it to one of THE finest parties known to Rosewood.
As the three of us made thru the crowded room, I spotted Noel Kahn who was mindlessly talking to some girl who I had recognized as Tammy Austen, She's a junior at Hollis and an all-around smart girl.
Aria and I started up a conversation as we made our way to the group. She had immediately found a nice cup of something and I just smirked. I knew Aria wanted to have a few drinks, and I really didn't mind. It was just the fact that I'm letting my underage girl drink Alcohol and more or so that I had brought her to this out-of-town college party.
"Are you having fun?" I heard Aria slur a little. We have been at this party for a good couple of hours and we still have yet to talk with other people other than us.
I nodded, "Of course." I mumbled and kissed her lips, pulling Aria tightly against me. "What's not to like? I'm here with you; under the moonlight, next to a lake."
Aria giggled and placed her head on my shoulder. "I love you, Ezra."
I kissed the top of Aria head and took her drink away. "I think that's enough for tonight; I actually want you to remember this moment." Just as the words left my mouth we heard a few guys fighting behind us.
"You mean that?" Aria joked and we stood up from out spot as the bickering had gotten louder.
"You need to leave." We heard Noel yell, "Who the hell are you anyway?"
"Dude, don't get jealous because I smacked that and you lost." The other guy retorted with a heavy smirk and I knitted my eyebrows together thinking that voice sounded familiar.
"Excuse me? The only reason you smacked that was because she was too drunk to notice your ugly face." I laughed, even though I hate Noel; that sarcasm comment was really good. "As the saying goes. You better hand me another drink because you're still ugly."
And that's when the guy punched Noel in the face and Aria went up to them first. "Stop," She yelled and pulled Noel off of him.
I ran after Aria and pulled the other guy off of Noel, before anyone else had gotten hurt.
"Wesley?" I looked at him confused, "What the hell are you doing here?"
"You know him?" Aria and Noel said in unison.
I nodded, "This is my brother." I muttered embarrassed,
"Ezra what the hell are you doing at a High School – College Party?" My brother yelled.
"Oh you didn't tell your brother?" Noel smirked a question, "He's dating a High School Student!"
"Noel." Aria said pressing her lips together, "That was uncalled for."
"No, what's uncalled for was breaking up with me because your ex- came back to town."
Aria looked a little taken back and so did I, "It wasn't like that Noel." Aria defended us and looked over at my brother, "I'm Aria"
"Wesley,"
"It's nice to meet you." Aria smiled and looked at me with an awkward glare.
