Aria's POV:

Hanna was with Emily when the fight had broken out. Ezra was now talking with Wesley and I was hanging back with the girls. That's when I started to notice Hanna and Wesley making eye contact with one another.

I knew Hanna and Caleb were having some sort of relationship problems and that would probably lead to Hanna wanting to check out other guys; although I didn't know if I felt comfortable with Hanna and Wesley actually having their own relationship.

"What are you doing?" I questioned quietly.

Hanna shrugged, "What? He's cute." She smiled her famous grin.

"That's my boyfriend's brother you're checking out!" I all but stated questionably.

"And? Aria come on," Hanna rolled her eyes, "Introduce me."

"Fine, but if you two proceed a thing" I said placing emphasis on the word thing, "I don't want to know about it."

"What's the worst that can happen?" She smirked bouncing off down toward the boys.

Hanna's POV:

"Hey Ezra," I said with a smile hoping not to give myself off.

"Hanna!" Ezra gave me a questionably look, "What's going on?"

I shrugged and looked over at Aria who was now standing next to Noel Kahn trying to talk some sense into the situation.

"Not much, Aria told me this was your brother. " I hinted.

Ezra nodded and looked over at Wesley; who I was side eyeing this whole time.

"This is my brother Wes; Wesley this is Hanna. One of Aria's best friends and this is Emily." Ezra nodded in her direction.

"It's nice to meet you." He shook my hand, "What a night huh?"

I nodded, "It's a little boring actually. That was until you and Noel decided to make it a little interesting." I flirted.

"Ezra, Are you ready to leave?" Aria asked coming into our little circle, "It's getting late and you can't talk to Noel. He's too drunk right now."

Ezra nodded and looked over at his brother, "Let's go Wesley."

"Dude, I'm not leaving. I want to get to know Hanna a little more." Wesley turned toward me with a little side wink.

"I will make sure he gets home, I swear." I gave Ezra a friendly 'I will get this' look.

Ezra rolled his eyes, "I don't' know about this?"

"I don't need a babysitter." Wesley announced, "It will be fine."

Ezra's POV:

Aria and I had walked from the back door to the front in a peaceful bliss. There were a few stares coming from some of the college kids and then some of Aria's peers. It amazed me on how much things never changed; you still have the same old sided eyed people that would want to know every single thing that happened. Although none of them asked, you could only heard the mere whispers of it all.

Once Aria and I made it to the car, I opened the door for her and she gave me a simple thank you and got in. I shut the door and headed over to the driver side, but not before seeing some of my old students giving me some head nods.

I drove onto the main road heading towards Rosewood, it was at least a half hour drive and this was the most awkward one of them all. Wesley had told me he heard about this party from a friend and thought he would check it out. But when I asked him what he was doing in town, he had given me another story about how mom was going to be coming around soon to check up on things and he thought he'd just check out the party and come talk to me tomorrow.

I thought nothing about it. My mother calls every now and then but yet, she never made an effort to come and check things out. There was something behind her motive, my mother never does anything out of the kindness of her heart.

"Why are you so quiet?" Aria asked rubbing her hand gently on my shoulder, "I'm sure Hanna will keep her word."

I looked at Aria a little skeptically, "Are you sure? I could smell more alcohol on my brother than I could on Noel."

Aria rolled her eyes and took her hand back, "Ezra, did you even know your brother was coming into town?"

I shook my head, "No, he said something about my mother coming by to check on things. But other than that, I didn't know he was coming."

Aria gave me a tight smile, "I'm sure everything will be okay. How bad could it be?"

I gave out a harsh laugh which caused Aria to give me a death glare, "What?"

"Nothing but let me tell you something. My mother is everything, but nice."

Aria's POV:

Ezra pulled into his parking spot and I opened the door right away. I had a feeling that Ezra was hiding something from me, more than I was hiding from him. Why would Ezra's mother want to see him after all this time? Why would his brother have to come to town and warn him?

I walked over to my car without a word, Ezra and I drove back to town in silence with only the soft music playing in the background.

"Aria," Ezra called out for me, "Where are you going?"

I shrugged and turned around after opening my car, "I'm going to just give you some time. It seems like you need it right now."

He looked at me a little taken back, "Are you mad at me?" He asked looking at me confused.

"No, Ezra." I sighed tossing my clutch into the car, "I just feel like you have a lot on your mind and need time to figure things out."

Ezra walked over to me and leaned over into my car to grab my clutch and then taking my car keys from my hand and locking my door.

"What are you doing?"

Ezra gave out a chuckle, "I don't want you to leave. Aria, just because we rode home in silence; doesn't mean I want you to leave."

"Fine, but I could." I offered, "I don't want to get in the way."

"You're not." He assured me, "Please, let's just go upstairs." He offered his hand and nodded his head towards the entrance. "Please?"

I let out a breath and nodded my head, "Okay."
