Chapter 2

"Good morning class, today we will be taking a deeper look into the second act of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet" Kyla began as the last student took his seat. She looked around her grade 10 class. The classroom a mix of students doodling in notebooks, and looking down at their phones thinking that she can't see them. Her mind wanders to her first day of english, when she was sitting in class staring at the handsome teacher writing on the blackboard. When he turned round her eyes went wide, she recognized this man. This was the man from the bar, the man she had had a hour long conversation with about music, books, and life. As they talked the man, who had introduced himself as Ezra, moved closer to her. After a while they found themselves in the bathroom, before heading back to his place where she lost her virginity.

"I think it's ridiculous how Romeo went straight from Rosaline to Juliet, he didn't even have time to get to know her" One of the boys stated in the class. A few of the other kids nodded in agreement while a couple others put up their hands joining in on the debate.

"It was love at first sight, he saw Juliet and knew instantly she was the one" A girl sitting in the front row argued.

"It wasn't love, it was lust. You can want to be with someone based off their looks in one glance, but what if they have a horrible personality, you can't be with someone just based off of looks." The same boy from before argued.

"Aria, I think I'm falling for you" Ezra said looking into Aria's eyes. "I tried to stay away after I found out you were in my class, and were 16" Ezra chuckled " But I couldn't help myself" Aria smiled back hesitant.

"I think I am too" she smiled a small smile thinking of the pregnancy test she had taken earlier that afternoon. She thought of her past, her future, the positive staring back at her, then finally of the threatening messages from "A," thats when he decided she had to leave.

"You've been looking forward to this," Rick said over the phone on Kylas lunch break.

"I know I… I just don't want to leave Harper alone for the night." Kyla tried to explain why she suddenly didn't want to go out for supper with Rick and some of his friends from work. She had thought about it all day since she got the text from A, and had finally decided she couldn't risk leaving Harper alone tonight. After all A would, and potentially could do anything, even if it meant hurting an innocent little girl.

"I would really like you to come" Rick sighed " But.. If you really don't want to I guess I can just go by myself."

She felt bad for not being able to go, but what was she supposed to do, pretend nothing happened? Normally she would, but when it comes to her daughter she just couldn't do that. She sat her phone on her desk, and began working on her report cards. After a few minutes of working she heard her phone beep on her desk, she flipped around in her chair and picked up her phone.

She stared at the phone for a few minutes thinking the worst had happened, taunting her on the little screen blinked a new message from a blocked number. when she slide the message open and the message read " Uh Oh who's playing with baby Aria?" Her heart started pounding in her chest she clicked on the attachment and a picture of Harper and other girls in her class standing around a lady. The lady wore a dark blue shirt and a black cardigan. Kyla recognized the lady from her past "Mom" the word slipped out of her mouth.

Kyla told her principal there was an emergency with her daughter and her principal let her go right away. She rushed over to Harper's school. Aria stood in the corner with other parents watching her mom's presentation on teaching in a small town. The teacher walked over to her and whispered, "Kyla I didn't know you were joining us for our presentation."

"I didn't know I was either, actually I need to pull Harper out of class today" Kyla said glancing over at her daughter,

"Oh she never said anything," Harper's teacher responded " Uhm can she stay till the end of the presentation, Harper really liked when they were talking earlier."

"Yes I'm sure it is an emergency"

"Oh uh okay, let me go get her" Her teacher walked through the class towards Harpers desk. She leaned down and whispered in Harper's ear. Harper looked back with a smile on her face and ran up to kyla. looked over then back at the class before she realized who was standing there. "Aria" she whispered staring at her daughter.

Everyone turned to look at Kyla. She stared back at the mom she had abandoned, then down at her little girl. "Harper, we need to go" She said grabbing Harper's hand, and rushing out of the room.

"Excuse me I'll be back" said to the teacher before following her daughter out of the room.

"Aria" She said again following her daughter.

kyla turned around looking her mom in the eyes, remembering the day she left. "I… I... just can't" she said turning back around. tears started running down her face

She thought back to the day she left a note sitting on each of her parents desk saying she was leaving and please for their own good do not try to locate her, she was changing her name, she just couldn't handle being back in rosewood living with Allison's death.

She couldn't have her mother back in her life no matter how badly she wanted to. She wanted to so badly, but then she would have to be honest about her daughter, and her past. She would have to tell Rick that her parents didn't leave her when she was a child, but instead she left them.

"I just don't understand, why did you leave? We could've got you help" Ella stood in Kyla's kitchen drinking tea. Kyla had given her the address just before she left the school and dropped Harper off with Rick at his apartment. Kyla just stared down into her purple coloured tea. " What are you even doing now? I want to know everything. That little girl, are you her nanny or something?"

"No.. no she is actually the reason I left… She's my daughter"

"Daughter.. how.. who.. I have a granddaughter? You have a daughter?" Ella stared blankly at Kyla

before Kyla could say anything the door opened and Harper ran into her room. Rick walked into the kitchen and introduced himself to Ella. Ella left, said she was staying at a hotel for a few days and to give her a call so they could catch up more.

"Who was that?" Rick asked grabbing the glass Ella had left and sticking it in the dishwasher.

"Rick, sit down" He stared at Kyla before sitting down on the couch.
"What is it, your not pregnant again are you?" he asked jokingly Kyla just looked down before sitting "You are pregnant, Kyla it's okay we can make this work"

"No no i'm not pregnant" Kyla laughed placing her hand on Rick's leg "that was my mom"

"It couldn't be she left you, you haven't seen her"

"Well that's not exactly the truth"

"You mean.. you've lied to me for 2 years" Ric stood up "I told you the one thing I can't deal with is lying"

"Rick let me explain" Kyla stood reaching for Rick's hand

"Not now Kyla, ever since this morning you have been acting weird , cancelling tonight and now lying to me, you have never done this before. what is going on?"

"Well I left rosewood because I was pregnant.. and I haven't seen my mom since"

"Okay did you know she was in town this morning, is that why you cancelled?"

"No I didn't know until I picked up Harper"

"That's another thing why did you pick up Harper, you told her teacher she had an appointment, but she didn't, what's going on Kyla, please tell me"

"I don't think I can Rick it's complicated"

"Please Kyla you know you can trust me" Rick grabbed Kyla's hand

"I know I can" Kyla looked down " But i just can't tell you"

Rick let go of Kylas hand "I have never hid anything from you, and I thought i knew you but today… Kyla I can't do this right now" He looked down before walking out of Kylas apartment.

Kyla sat on the couch with her head laying in her hands and tears pouring down her face. Her phone went off in the kitchen and she hesitantly got up to check

"Looks like there's trouble in paradise -A"
