Ezra's POV

Three days ago, I had my argument with Cece Drake. I tried to explain myself, but Aria wouldn't listen. I had to think of some way to talk to Aria, to tell her what I had to say.

I didn't know what I was doing, but I did it anyway. I walked up the steps to her house and hesitated before knocking on the door. Of course, Byron answered. He despises me but its okay, the feeling is mutual.

"You shouldn't be here Ezra. Not after what you did to my daughter," Byron quickly snapped.

Aria told him? She couldn't have, she'd have a lot to explain. I thought to myself.

"Mr. Montgomery, I–"

"Ezra. You have done enough to my family already; I think it'd be best if you just left."

"I need to talk to Aria." I was getting very impatient.

"I don't believe you have anything that important to say to her." Byron was about to shut the door when he hesitated and opened it fully again. "You broke her heart Ezra." With that, he shut the door and left me standing on the Montgomery's porch.

I was about to leave when I looked up to the window that belonged to Aria's room. As I did so, I saw the curtains move and cover the entire window. Aria knew I was there.

Aria's POV

I couldn't believe he had come here. It was a dumb move. After what he did to me, I never wanted to see his face again.

Half the time I stood by the stairs and tried to catch what my dad had said to Ezra, but I only heard a few words. The other half, I was looking out my window staring at them.

I heard my dad coming up the stairs, so I sat on my bed and pretended to write in my journal. The door opened slowly and he poked his head in.

"Hey Aria, I don't know if you heard, but Ezra was just here."

"Oh, he was? What did he want?" I asked nonchalantly, pretending like I didn't know.

"He uh, he wanted to talk to you actually."

"Oh well that's too bad isn't it?" I said getting angry.

"It sounded like he really wanted to talk to you."

"Well I don't want to talk to him." I could feel my eyes getting watery and my vision was getting blurry.

"Aria, I know that he broke up with you, but I also knew that he made you really happy. I think you should try to talk to him."

"Thanks, but that's never going to happen."

"Okay well, if you ever change your mind…" My dad left the room and I was left alone in my room again.

Once the door was shut I started crying my eyes out. To think Ezra had the nerve to come to my house and try to talk to me was insane. He knew what he had done to me, and if he expected me to just let him in, well he was just being himself – a dumb, stupid liar that couldn't be trusted.

The worst part was that I thought he loved me. I told him my secrets, I stayed with him when I had nowhere else to go, and I fought so hard for a relationship that wasn't even real.

How stupid was I to fall for it all.

It wasn't your fault. How were you supposed to know he did all those things? I thought to myself. It wasn't that reassuring.

Tomorrow was Tuesday. I would have to go back to school from our three day weekend. I would have to sit in Mr. Fitz's class for over an hour and listen to him teach my class. I would have to pretend that I know nothing when I know his biggest secret.

I didn't think to tell my friends about this though they had a right to know. I felt that I needed to wait just a little longer before telling them. I went to bed that night knowing what I'd have to face the next day.

I dreamt of Ezra. It was just him, he was everywhere and there was nothing else around me. I tuned left and right and he was always there. I couldn't escape it. I tried running, but I didn't move. I was trapped in a horrible world that I didn't want to be a part of.

I jolted awake with beads of sweat on my forehead. My clock on my nightstand said 5:38. My alarm would go off in 7 minutes so I turned it off and got up early. I quickly showered and got dressed. My breakfast didn't consist of much. I had a banana and soy milk which I ate in a matter of seconds.

I woke up Mike and he got dressed in some sweats and said he would eat something at school. We left before my dad even woke up.

I pulled into a parking spot at Rosewood High and Mike jumped out immediately, jogging toward Noel Kahn. I got out and I first spotted Hanna who was sitting with Spencer. I searched for Emily, and I spotted her in a corner sitting with Paige. I decided against sitting with my friends and walked alone until the bell rang.

My first class was English.

I sat in his classroom, not hearing a single word. My mind was elsewhere. He kept talking and as he was doing so, I stared out the window. The bell ringing is what finally got me out of my daze. I started to pack up my bag and catch up with my friends.

"Miss Montgomery. Could I talk you about your paper?" Ezra said from his desk. Hanna looked over and raised her eyebrows in a smirk. I shook my head signaling that this wasn't going to be a sweet boyfriend-girlfriend conversation. She looked confused and then walked out the door with Spencer and Emily.

"What do you need Mr. Fitz?" I said sternly.

"Have you told them?"

"No, I haven't told anybody. I don't want to talk to you right now. Do you realize what you did to me? To my friends? You ruined our lives." I started toward the door and right as I opened it Ezra whispered something that caught me off guard.

"My love for you was real Aria." I swallowed hard and took a deep breath.

Don't let him back in. "I don't care Ezra. It's over." I left the classroom without another word.

That night I sat on my bed after dinner doing homework. I kept glancing at my phone and I knew I had to call. Finally, I decided that I had to do it.

I called all the girls and took a deep breath as my phone kept ringing. They all picked up.

"Guys, I need to tell you something."
