chapter 2 (Aria's POV)
"A wants us to see him make a girl disappear. We are on the right time" said Spencer.
magician opened the box and pointed his finger to me.
I was surprised. I told him no. he jumped from the stage and came towards me. He wanted me, only me. I was scared. He came even nearer and pleaded me with those eyes.
suddenly magician was gone and there was Ezra looking at me through those eyes! My breathing cut short.
I woke up. I was relieved that it was just a dream. but suddenly, I realized why I had goosebumps yesterday after looking in Ezra's eyes. By now I was completely awake. My heart was refusing this. But I knew this was true. How can Ezra be A? He came after a year from Alison' s disappearance. But, that's when A text started! Can Ezra be the beach hottie? Was it him in Ravenswood who was trying to kill us? I was breathless. A had tried to kill me that night but he somehow didn't. Was it because it was Ezra? Was this a reason why Ezra wasn't meeting my eyes yesterday? I had thousands of questions running through my mind. i could see many things relating Ezra to were in front of me. But I was denyingtthe possibility. Now I was sure that it was not just a vision but I had really seen in Ravenswood. I needed to see him. But I was scared. I was scared because he was no more someone I felt safe around. but he was my fear. How ironic it was that I felt safe with A! Finally, I decided to go to 3B.
It was 2 AM. I knocked on the door. No one answered. I took my set to keys and opened the door. The apartment was empty. My and Ezra's framed photo was mocking me from the table. I broke down and seconds later I was crying uncontrollably on Ezra's couch. I didn't realize when I fell asleep.
I sensed someone's hand over my head. Then I heard a familiar voice calling my name. It was Ezra. I opened my eyes and saw him looking at me with concerned face. I smiled at him and tried to get up. He smiled and helped me to get up.
"Aria, why did you come here? Sorry, I wasn't here last night. I had some things to do in Philadelphia", he asked patting me.
Whole night stood in front of me. I slipped from his embrace and fumbled for my mobile. He tried to grab me , but I again slipped and ran to stand as far away as I could in his room.
He got up too. But, he didn't try to approach me. He asked me, " what's wrong, Aria?" Pain in his expression was telling me that he already knew the answer.
"You were in Ravenswood for magic show, weren't you?", I asked trying to control my tears.
"Aria...I..." He tried to reach me, but I moved,
"Ezra, Why? I trusted you. How could you do this? I know you are A."
"I can explain Aria. Let me."
I was stunned. I couldn't answer it. I was hoping that I was wrong. But, Ezra was A,
I tried to run. But , this time Ezra grabbed me. I smelled something sweet. I heard him say "I'm sorry Aria" before everything went black and silent.
