Sorry this is short, but I know it's been forever and I wanted to give you guys a little something. Sorry for any mistakes.

Ezra's POV:

Bitter, isn't even a word on how I feel right now. Aria and Glenn? That's the two topics that was running through his mind, ever since last night at that stupid restaurant.

"Alright, that's the bell." Ezra announced, and slummed back into his chair. It was finally a Friday and that was the last of his classes. Meaning he had two days to avoid Aria, who was trying to talk to him for the last two days.

A sudden knock came from the door and Ezra, closed his eyes thinking it was Aria. "Come in." He let the breath he didn't know out when Emily walked in. "Thank god,"

"What?" Emily, questioned him. "Thought I was Ar-"

"Please, don't say that name. I don't want to talk about her,"

"She said no!" Emily, shouted and he looked at her confused, "She saw you leave and she said no. Glenn left yesterday."

"What?" Ezra, smiled back in shock.

Emily nodded, "If you weren't such a jerk you would have known that." She stated and smirked on her way out.

"Wait. Where are you going?"

"I have a date, I need to get ready for."

"I need a favor," Ezra, stood up and walked up to Emily. "What apartment number does she live in?"

"3B"


Aria's POV:

"Spencer, your not telling me something," Aria hinted when they were in the middle of watching the Notebook, "I noticed it, but wasn't going to say anything."

Spencer, turned to look at Aria," Yeah, but it's not my thing to preach" She shrugged,

"Is it about Ezra?" Aria, questioned taking a hand full of popcorn.

"Aria, look. Things happened when you left, it wasn't for the best, but it has it's way of working out."

"So it is about Ezra?" She looked at Spencer with a smirk, "Oh come on. He has been avoiding me ever since he found out about Glenn,"

"When does Glenn get back anyway?" Spencer asked trying to change the subject.

"In a few weeks, he still can't believe I said no."

"why did you?"

Aria shrugged, "Because, I love him. But I'm not ready, I think I'm waiting for something."

"Like a sign?" Spencer, giggled. "What kind of sign are you waiting for?"

Aria stared at Spencer for a few seconds, "I really don't know. But-" Aria and Spencer turned their attention to the door when a knock came from it.

"Are you expecting someone?" Spencer asked and Aria, shook her head. "I'll get it."

Spencer, got off the couch and walked over to the door. She flung it opened and saw Ezra, standing there. "What are you doing here?" She whispered,

"I wanted to talk to Aria," Ezra smiled, "Where is she?"

Spencer let out a breath before moving to the side and letting him in, Aria was in her pajama bottoms and a white tank top. "Hi,"

"Get out." Aria, stood up. "You don't belong here."

Ezra, turned to Spencer. "Can we be alone?"

"Sure," Spencer took her coat and turned to Aria, "I will call you later."

Ezra and Aria spent the next few seconds looking at one another, Aria wanted nothing to do with Ezra. He has been avoiding her all week, and didn't even let her explain.

"How are you?" Ezra, asked looking around the apartment.

"What do want?" She crossed her arm's over her chest, "Your a jerk."

"I know, I'm sorry." Ezra, placed the picture she had of her and the grandparents back down, "I didn't mean to push you away, but I was jealous."

"Jealous? Yeah, that's an original one." She scoffed.

"I want to make it up to you." He suggested before Aria could really push him out the door, "I know over the last few years we have drifted apart. But I want you back,"

"Stop, Glenn and I are still together."

"What? I thought you called it off?" He looked confused and more heart broken.

"I called off the proposal, I'm not ready to get married. But Glenn and I talked, and we decided to wait. Wait till our careers takes off first." She explained,

"I thought you loved me? What happen?"

"I do love you, but I'm not a cheater/player or what ever its called." She bit her bottom lip, "I can't cheat on him."

"Like how you did to me? Aria, we were still together when you left." Ezra yelled, "How could you do this to me? I love you, wasn't that enough?"

Aria, started to cry. "What do you want me to say? I-I can't change what happen."

Ezra let out a dark laugh. "I hate you for doing this to me, I can't believe it." He exclaimed and closed his eyes, regretting it.

"You don't mean that," Aria pleaded. "I'm sorry,"

"Me too." Ezra looked at her with teary eyes, "I just want you back." He stated and walked out the door.

The next couple of weeks, went by in a blur. I really didn't feel like teaching anymore and felt the need to just get out of town. All I wanted to do, was stay at home cooped up in the apartment with a good book. And not worry, about hurting Ezra's feelings from being here.

"Ms. Montgomery?" A voice sounded off, I looked up and smiled when I noticed one of my students.

"How are you feeling?" I asked her,

"Better, I just needed you to sign me off. And I was wondering if I could get my back homework?"

I nodded, "Why don't you see me after school and I will have everything for you?"

"Okay." She handed me her slip and I signed her off.

The rest of the day went off fairly quick, I had nothing left to do after my student picked up her homework. So I packed up and started to head out the door, when I ran into someone.

"I'm so sorry," I bent down and picked up his papers.

"It's fine Aria," Ezra's told me and took the papers away from me harshly.

"I'm sorry, for everything Ezra. I really mean it." Ezra, stared into my eyes and let out a breath. "Can we please talk?" I pleaded.

"Fine, where?" He smiled, and looked around the halls which were already cleared of students.

"In my classroom is fine." I smiled back and motioned with my hands for him to follow me back inside.

I closed the door and pulled down the shade, I took my bag off my shoulder and tossed it on one of the desk. Ezra, turned and sat up on my desk after he placed his stuff on it.

"So start," He clapped his hands together.

I nodded, "Why do you hate me so much?"

He slumped his shoulders and jumped off the desk, "I'm sorry for what I said, it was out of frustration and I didn't mean it." He stepped up to me, "Please forgive me?" He took my hands in his, "I'm sorry. It's your life and I will respect your wishes."

"Thank you, but I'm the one who should be sorry. You are right, we were together when I left and it was me that went into a different direction."

"Why did you?" He pleaded for an answer with his eyes,

I shrugged and looked down at our hands, that fit together as one. "I was confused, I thought maybe a long distance relationship was going to be to much to handle." I looked up and into his eyes, "I never stopped thinking about you."

"I never stopped thinking about you too." We both lent in and give each other a kiss to the lips. "I'm sorry," Ezra said, turning around and placing his hands in his pockets. "I never met to do that."

"Me too," I touched my lips, "But I don't regret it." I smiled, when Ezra turned around.

"Really? what about that no cheating rule you had?" He arched an eyebrow and tugged the corner of his lips into a half smile.

I shrugged, "I love you, remember?" I ran and tossed myself onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist and attaching out lips together. Ezra moved us to the desk and pushed everything off, as we continue to make out in my classroom. I moved my hands to his belt and unzipped his pants, as he hiked up my skirt.

"Wait," I pulled pushed him away slightly, trying to catch my breath, "what are we doing?"

Ezra, shook his head and looked me in the eyes, "I don't know."

I rubbed my face, "We can't do this." He nodded and licked his lips, "Not here anyway."

"Your apartment or mines?"


Ezra's POV:

Aria and I made it to my apartment, after spending a bit amount of time in my bed. We were now sitting on the living room floor with take-out all around us. I love her here and most of all, I love her in my clothes.

We have been watching the late night news when I turned and saw Aria, looking at me.

"What?" I smiled, giving her a little peck on the nose.

"This is better than the first time." She giggled and sat back against the couch, "You don't know how sorry I am." She told me, taking a sip of the water that was placed in front of her, "I screwed up everything."

"Hey," I lifted her chin so she was looking at me, "This is just a miner set back, everything will fall into place if we want it too."

"I hurt you, hard." She whispered, "How could you still love me?"

I smiled, "It doesn't take much." I replied, pushing back her fallen hair, "I just believe in us."

"I will make this right, but you have to understand. Glenn, as been there for me over these passed and intense years. I can't just-"

"I understand, but you can't expect me to just sit back and watch the two of you." I stopped and sucked in a breath. "I just hope you choose me, and I hope that you will do it soon. I don't want to start thinking what if's"

"I promise, I will make this right."
