P.O.V. Aria
I can't take this anymore. The guilt of killing Shana is consuming me and it's all just starting to become too much. The slightest think makes me anxious and my paranoia is through the roof. I can't live like this anymore; I know what I have to do. I go to the washroom and open the cabinet. I rifle through the
cabinet looking for something that should do the job. As I'm looking through, I spot Mike's anti-depressants. Perfect. I take the bottle of pills out of the cabinet and walk back to my bed. Everything is perfect, I just have one goodbye call I have to make.
I dial his number and he picks up on the second ring.
"Aria, is something wrong?" asks Ezra sounding concerned.
"No, I'm fine, I just have to tell you something before it's too late."
"What do you mean too late? What do you need to tell me? Ezra asks sounding afraid
At this point I start to cry.
"I just want to say that I love you and I'm sorry for everything. I should have forgiven you. You forgave me for what happened with Jason and never stopped loving me when you found out about the Jenna thing and what happened to Shana. I'm not mad anymore and I'm really going to miss you."
"What's going on Aria? Where is this coming from?
"I just wanted you to know that before I died."
"Died? Aria please, tell me whats going on."
I ignore him and say "Goodbye Ezra"
Then I hang up.
P.O.V. Ezra
"Goodbye Ezra"
No Aria-" but it's too late.
She hung up.
Oh my god, is this really happening. Aria wouldn't kill herself, right? I bolt out of my apartment (as fast as I can with a gun shot wound) and into my car, running only on adrenalin and fear for Aria's safety. The drive to the Montgomery house seems to take twice the amount of time as usual and by the time I get to the house I jump out of the car not even bothering to turn off the engine. I run to the front door and start banging on it. A bleary eyed Mike in pajamas answers the door.
"What are you doing here Mr. Fitz?" he asks confused.
"I need to see your sister. She called fifteen minutes ago and... I think she's trying to kill herself."
"What!" says Mike finally waking up.
He runs to Aria's room and I trail behind him. When Mike opens Aria's room, I see her half conscious holding a bottle of pills. Mike starts shaking Aria, but I tell him to call 911 and get a bottle of water and salt. Mike runs downstairs and I'm left holding Aria, asking her over and over again why she would do this. Mike comes back a minute later with a water bottle and a salt shaker. I open the water bottle and put the salt in it. I then drag Aria into the washroom and over the toilet, making her drink the water. Right away she starts throwing up violently. I make her drink the whole bottle and by then she's wide awake.
I hear her saying something in whispers and I lean in to hear her say " Why did you help me? Why didn't you just let me die."
I answer with "Because I love you Aria."
I pull her close to me and just as the paramedics arrive I say "Everything's going to be okay eventually. I promise."
