I couldn't believe she had ended it just like that. Did the past week mean nothing to her? What about our talks and laughter? Our kisses?

I was getting so worked up that my hands were turning white from clenching the steering wheel so hard. I took a deep breath and drove on. She had to have her reasons for ending the relationship. Who am I kidding? She had all the reasons in the world to end it. I just wished she didn't have to act grownup that time. I wished she was still that impulsive girl who went on every roller coaster with me even after she had a hotdog.

I pulled into my apartment complex and walked up the stairs to my apartment. "Ugh" It felt so lonely in here. I can't believe it'll just be me in here the majority of the time again.

I pushed away the book I was reading and looked at the clock on the wall. 5:15 p.m. This was the time I usually headed over to the country club to pick up Aria for dinner. "Maybe she would be there" I thought. I ran my fingers through my hair "No, why would she be there. She ended it." I sighed and went to the kitchen to get something to eat. Before I knew it my brain decided to take charge. I grabbed my wallet and keys and ran out of the apartment. I had close to ten minutes to get there. I got this.

When I arrived at the country club, I parked in the back where we usually parked last week. Her car wasn't there, but I still had some hope. I ran to the bridge and stopped short before I got on it. There was a shadowy figure standing there against the sunset. Her back was leaning on the bridge with her head looking up.

I took a chance and ran up to the figure. I stood in front of her and wrapped my hands around her waist while pulling her towards me. Her head dropped and eyes stared into mine. "Ezra?" she whispered while my lips drew near hers. I put one of my hands behind her head and drew her lips to mine.

There was the electric shock that always seemed to happen when we kissed. This was how they were supposed to feel. She wrapped her arms around my neck bringing me close to her. We couldn't get to each other fast enough. I pulled her as close to me as I could and bit her bottom lip. She shivered and opened her mouth breathing a sigh of happiness. She pulled away and looked up at me. She smiled and ran her hand down my face. She bit her lip and untangled herself from me. "I have to go Ezra. I'll see you tomorrow."

With that she walked away.

"Fuck." I said while watching her walk away. I was left standing there wondering if I did something wrong. Was it too much for her? Should we have just talked instead? She hates me I concluded.

I ran to my car with tears streaming down my face. I was such a bitch. I don't know why I kept running from him. He was the best thing in my life right now and seeing him in pain hurt me. But, I just couldn't see past all the problems and complications this relationship was going to have. He could go to jail and lose everything over me. I wasn't that worth it.

I sat in my car and cried. I needed him so badly. I felt so happy and calm when I was with him.

I was being selfish. I wiped the tears from my eyes and drove home in silence.

The next morning, I decided to wear a black skirt with a white V-neck and leather jacket. While I was putting on my boots, Mike came into my room.

"Aria, this may sound weird, but that guy you were with all last week looks like the new English teacher."
