Love the Way You Lie Chapter 2: Love the Way You Lie Part 2, a pretty little liars series fanfic

I sat at my desk looking over papers. I had often thought about becoming a teacher instead of a Lawyer, but Aria's first love and only love was a teacher. I couldn't think of Ezra Fitz every time I went to work. I already think about him every time I go home. Every time I hold my son. She named our oldest, our son after him. It was a slap in the face. It felt like she was saying I'm not good enough for her.

At first everything seemed so good. At first I understood why she didn't want marriage. She didn't want to be like her parents. I looked at the picture of me and Aria sitting on my desk. She was holding our younger daughter Jessica on her lap while I held Ezra in my arms.

"Mr. Akard." There was a pause, "Mss. Montgomery is on line one." My secretary offered. No one really knows how to title Aria when she calls me.

"Thank you Mrs. Hershe." I spoke into the intercome before picking up the phone. "Hello, Aria." I said.

"Can you come home early? I'm going out with my friends tonight." She said simply. I could feel my eye twitch would she ever just stay home occasionally.

On the first page of our story
the future seemed so bright
then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
even angels have their wicked schemes
and you take that to new extremes
but you'll always be my hero
even though you've lost your mind

I walked in the door that night. I saw four year old Ezra sitting on the floor drawing a picture with his crayons while watching a movie, and our two year old baby Jessica sitting on the floor next to her brother putting together an animal puzzle. Aria was in the kitchen cooking some exotic smelling dish that no doubt she learned to make with her mother.

"I'm home." I said trying to give her a hello kiss. Aria turned her head away from me, I felt embarrassed that she wouldn't kiss me. "Stay home tonight." I whispered wrapping my arms around her waist. We both wanted a large family, "Maybe we can try for baby number three tonight." I whispered playfully nipping her neck. She pulled away from me.

"I have to go out tonight. It's the anniversary of Ali's disappearance." I grit my teeth together.

"All week you've been making this big deal about how we have to try this week because your ovulating and now you don't even want me to touch you?" I questioned. She narrowed her eyes at me,

"You've never gotten mad about this before." She said accusingly. I shook my head.

"Forget it I'm going to go get changed out of my suit."

Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
but that's all right because I like the way it hurts
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
but that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie

I laid in bed looking up at the ceiling. The kids were in bed, Aria said she would be home hours ago, but was still out. She walked in the bedroom door looking tired and rumpled.

"Where have you been?" I asked sitting up looking at her. She shrugged her shoulders stripping down into some sexy black lace lingerie and crawling into bed on top of me kissing me seductively.

"No where. We ran into Ezra at the bar and we all talked to him for awhile." She said kissing my lips. I tensed as Aria kissed my neck something I normally enjoyed. I smelled her hair and neck. She smelled like cigarettes her sultry smelling perfume and something else, something huskier it smelled like another man's cologne. I pushed Aria off me.

"What the fuck Sean!" She hissed, I looked at her.

"You smell like another man. Did you do anything with Mr. Fitz?" I questioned her. Aria just rolled her eyes,

"Sean we are all adults really, you can call him Ezra." She teased trying to pull me in for a kiss. I moved her hand off my neck,

"Aria, please answer the question. Did you do anything with him?" She shook her head no,

"No I didn't Sean." She propped herself up on her elbows, she hooked one of her thighs over my hip. "I want you Sean. I want you to make love to me." I sighed letting myself sink into Aria and kiss her passionately. Making love to my beautiful partner.

Now there's gravel in our voices
glass is shattered from the fight
in this tug of war, you'll always win
even when I'm right
'cause you feed me fables from your hand
with violent words and empty threats
and it's sick that all these battles
are what keeps me satisfied

I was picking up laundry off the floor in our bedroom the next day and saw the jeans Aria had been wearing the night before and checked her pockets. There was a note in them.

"I had a great time to night. Call me anytime. –Ezra." I threw the jeans on the floor and stormed down the stairs where Aria had just returned.

"What the fuck is this about Aria!"I yelled throwing the note down on the table. Her face paled,

"Where did you get that?" She asked accusingly. I laughed rudely.

"Your jeans pocket. I was checking them like always do before I do the laundry like I always do." I fumed Aria looked down at her hands. She fiddled with the car keys. "Did you fuck him?" I asked hurt.

"Sean, I would…" I slammed my fist down on the counter,

"Damn it Aria, you cheated on me with him did you do it again." Aria remained with her head down fiddling with the keys.

"Yes. I slept with him Sean." I was floored. I really wanted to believe she hadn't. I picked up a glass off the counter and threw it against the wall hard. Aria visibly flinched as the glass shattered into many tiny shards. "Sean." I didn't stick around to hear the rest of her excuses. I was heartbroken she had fucked him then came home to me wanting her husband's love. A small voice in my head reminded me that she wasn't my wife and I wasn't her husband.

"Sean, I didn't mean for it to happen." I turned around mad as hell.

"Yes you did. I asked you to marry me four years ago, and again two years ago. And you would never ever marry me. Because it's always been him that you wanted and never me!" I Yelled in her face letting my hurt heart and anger get the better of me.

"Sean, you know why I don't want to get married." She tried this time.

"No, you never wanted to marry me." I yelled angrily.

I stayed locked in the bedroom most of the day till that night when I dared to venture out into the living room. Aria was sitting on the couch waiting for me.

"I told my dad and Meredith we needed the night to talk. They agreed to watch the kids for the night." I snorted.

"It's amazing how much like your dad you are. You can't stay loyal to someone who loves you and wants to be with you." Aria's mouth dropped,

"That was out of line Sean!" She yelled shoving me hard in the chest. I laughed sadistically,

"Why cause its true? I'm not going to be able to be sated by a long trip to Iceland." Aria started crying shoving me harder and harder.

"I didn't mean to sleep with him Sean! You have to believe me, I love you. I want to be with you!" She yelled. I grabbed her wrists and threw her down onto one of our plush couches. She looked so sexy like that all out of breath with her chest heaving. I wanted to show her who she belonged to. And she definitely did not belong to Ezra Fitz. I grabbed her by the back of her hair and kissed her on the lips passionately she kissed me back gripping at my back once I started kissing and using my tongue to trace that one spot just behind her ear that makes her lose all control and coherent thought.

So maybe I'm a masochist

I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
til the walls are goin' up
in smoke with all our memories

Aria pushed me off of her into the coffee table. She looked at me wide eyed as I lay in the splintered mess that used to be our coffee table. I got up and stormed out of the room. Aria following me, she followed me all the way up to our bedroom. Trying to hold me in her arms. I spun her around in front of me grabbing her shoulders shoving her off me. I pushed her onto the bed. She came scrambling back trying to touch me hold me.

"Don't you touch me, don't fucking touch me! I don't want his leftovers!" I yelled in her face. She was crying now as I stripped out of my clothes and got into bed.

"Sean." She sobbed trying to get close to me. I kept pushing her away from me. "We need to talk about this Sean. I'll do whatever it takes to make this work." I pushed Aria away from me. I could hear her run out of the room and I got out of bed running after her catching her in the hall way pressing our bodies up against the wall kissing her roughly. I pressed my hardened member into her hearing her moan.

"Say my name." I growled into her lips. She gasped pressing back against me,

"Sean." She moaned. "Sean, I love you so much." She moaned

This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me you're awfully sorry
that you pushed me into the coffee table last night
so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I'll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I'm nothing, I'm so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you'll always love me

Aria pushed me away from her, "I'm not a whore that you can beg promises of love off of with your cock." She said tears streaming down her face. She started to walk down the stairs. I grabbed her arms and pulled trying to bring her back to me. Instead she just lost her balance sliding down the stairs taking me with her. We slid down the stairs landing in a tangled heap.

"I hate you Sean, you are an ugly rich spoiled bastard." She screamed elbowing me in the face, blood down my face with a sickening crack, "You are nothing like Ezra." I flipped us over so I was on top of her and with a sickening crack slapped her hard in the face. I never wanted to hear his name again. Aria laid there stunned looking at me,

"Never ever compare me to him Aria." I said dangerously calm she just nodded I stood up and started walking up the stairs. Thank god we aren't married. I can walk away with no repercussions. She can have her precious Ezra. I could hear Aria storming up the stairs after me; I could hear her breathing in the doorway as she watched me pack.

"Where are you going Sean?" She asked panic in her voice. I shrugged my shoulders, and kept packing my stuff I hadn't really thought that far ahead.

"I might just sleep at the office tonight." I said trying to sound calm. I'd lived with Aria for almost six years. Aria sobbed,

"I didn't mean it Sean. Don't go. I didn't mean it baby." She sobbed gripping me arm. "Don't leave Sean." I looked at her hard in the eye,

"Why are you with me, you obviously want Ezra?" Aria hiccupped from sobbing so hard,

"I had a moment of weakness. I've been a mom and almost your wife for so long, I didn't feel sexy anymore." She hiccupped again, "He made me feel like I was sixteen again, not a mom and almost wife."I sighed.

"Aria, I don't want you to be my almost wife, I want you to be my wife." I told her shoving a pair of shoes into my bag,

"Okay we'll get married. Just don't' leave me!

then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we're on, two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other's backs
that we'll have each other's backs, 'cause we're that lucky
together, we move mountains, let's not make mountains out of molehills,

I snarled shoving her into the wall. She whimpered. I was for the first time in my life so mad that I was seeing red. Aria tried to hold me again; but I shoved her away again.

"I don't want you to want to marry me so that I don't leave Aria." I yelled at her stomping down the stairs. Aria ran after me grabbing me arm.

"I want to marry you, Sean; I don't want anyone but you Sean. I swear." She sobbed I yanked my arm away from her. "I can't live without you Sean. I don't know how to live without you." She sobbed. I turned around and looked at her. How could she say these things? She had been the one who cheated not me.

"You slept with someone else. I've always been loyal to you, Aria." She sniffled wiping her tears with the back of her hand. I saw a bruise forming where I had slapped her. Guilt poured into my body. I'd never meant to hurt her like that. I'd never meant to hurt her at all.

"I know, and I'll do whatever it takes to make this right again Sean." She sniffled again, "I'm so sorry Sean." She sobbed burying herself into my chest like she used to, back when we were teenagers and so in love.

"Okay, I won't leave." I whispered holding her in my arms. I held her tight to my chest.

You hit me twice, yeah, but who's countin'?
I may have hit you three times, I'm startin' to lose count
but together, we'll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we're nuts, but I refused counselin'
this house is too huge, if you move out I'll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain't shit you can do about it
with you I'm in my fuckin' mind, without you, I'm out it

I laid in bed the next morning just looking at Aria. We had done all our talking the night before. We knew what it was going to take to make our relationship work. I nuzzled my face deep into her neck and inhaled her sent the sensual scent of her perfume. She rolled over facing me, the purple bruise my hand had left was already faded.

"I'm sorry Sean." She whispered I shook my head kissing her mouth delving my tongue into it. Holding the back of her neck; feeling her melt into me.

"I don't want to talk about it anymore Aria." I whispered kissing her once again. This was my whole world I didn't want to live without this. Even if Aria and I have to overcome our own sets of problems. What makes us different than her parents is that we want to solve them, fix things make them better. "Let's try for that third baby instead, hmmmm?" I questioned loving how she giggled like a sixteen year old girl in love again.

"Yeah, let's." She whispered wrapping her arms around my neck kissing me.
