okay, because a couple of people asked for it. This is the next chapter to this story... Thank you sooooooo Much, for all of you reviews.

The next morning I woke up in the guess bedroom once again. After my shower I had gotten ready for bed, but Aria just pushed me off. She's really upset, but if only she wasn't so stubborn and hard headed. I could explain why I was late...

I sighed and turned off my phone Alarm clock. It was six in the morning, and I didn't hear any commotion. That had got me confused, but when I walked out I saw Aria in the kitchen putting on some coffee.

"You have to listen to me Aria, You have to let me explain." I pleaded.

"Fine, explain to me why you were late?" Aria turned from the coffee pot and crossed her arm's.

"Your father's in town." I told her sternly, and watched as her whole demeanor changed. "He applied for a teaching job at NYU, apparently he was fired from Hollis. For sleeping with another grad student." I explained.

"Are you sure?" Aria whispered

"Yes, Aria I would ever lie to you. Especially about something like this."

Aria looked around the room and then back up at me "I have to get the kids ready. Um, you should get ready too."

I grabbed her arm, just before she could leave the kitchen "I'm sorry. I was trying to tell you yesterday."

"I know, and I'm sorry too." She looked up the stairs. "Are you going to hire him?"

I shrugged "I really don't know." I told her, letting go her arm.

I made my way to NYU and thought about what I should do about Byron. After out wedding, everything changed. He cheated on Ella, again and then they had gotten a divorce. Mike went into the Military, Aria thought that everyone was falling apart. But that wasn't even the worst part. During our wedding Byron, had announced that he objected to us. Aria, broke down in tears right in front of two hundred people. She had never forgiven him for that. He would call and text, but that's it. Aria, doesn't answer to anyone but the girls, Ella and Mike. Byron, to her is dead and for good reason.

"Heidi, my office" I pointed and waited for her to walk in first before closing the door.

"What's wrong?" Heidi's face was full of concern

"Byron Montgomery, has he been by this morning?" I asked taking my messages for her hand and placing them down on my desk.

"Yes, I told him you weren't in yet. He told me to tell you, think about what he has done for you." Heidi giggled.

I let out a harsh breath. "Do you know where he went?"

Heidi nodded "He said he was going to get a cup of coffee, and that he would be back soon."

I nodded "Thank you, your free too go."

Aria's POV:

Driving to work, was a nightmare. To think of my father in the same state as me drove me insane. My father doesn't deserve to work at NYU, I don't care how good of and educator he is. He is the most worst excuse of a father... But like the saying goes, you can't chose your family.

I had dropped Danielle, off at her class and than walked into the office to check my box. I had left early, earlier than I would normally so that had allowed me time to run into the office and check my mail... I had a few notices about the upcoming fund raising that my grade level is having. This year we had decided that we would take our third graders to camp Wilson instead of the normal movie that they did last year.

I looked up at the clock to see that I had about two minutes till the bell would ring. I stuffed my things into my bag and walked out of the office, when I had gotten to my door. My students were busy playing around, so I stood there with my arm's crossed over my chest. Until they had realize that I was there.

"Is this the way I want to see you folks?" I said sternly "Do I want to see my student's pushing each other, or even running around like a bunch of chickens?"

"No ma'am" Everyone answered and lined up by the door.

I shook my head and opened my door. I turned on the lights, and allowed everyone to walk in single file, before stepping in and closing the door behind me.

"Has everyone finished their skill pack?" I asked and pulled out my lesson planner.

"I haven't" Amy answered. "I didn't have time" She pouted and I looked around to see everyone looking at her.

"Alright Amy, you will stay during Recess"

"Yes, ma'am" She said sadly and I looked into her eyes. I noticed something wrong, she wasn't her chipper normal self.

"So today, I will be showing a short film. Make sure you take notes, I swear to you. It will be on the test." I announced and walked over to the TV. I rolled it out the middle of the floor and pushed the tape in. I was doing one of Shakespearean's sonnets. So I thought a little Romero and Juliet would be a starter. I know their a little young to know about this type of tragic- love romance. But I just wanted to see if they would under stand.

"Amy" I called out and motioned with my finger for her to follow me out the door.

"Yes, ma'am?" She asked when I closed the door behind us. She looked at her feet and started to fumble with her fingers.

"What's wrong Amy? there's something different about you. You always finish your homework." I crossed my arms and tilted my head to look down at her.

"I'm sorry"

"Amy, look at me" I asked softly and watched as her eyes filled with tears "You can tell me, if there is anything wrong at home, or at school. I am here for you, okay?" I smiled and pulled her in for a hug.

"My dad, he hit me last night." She cried. "I was in his way."

I pulled back and looked at her now streaming eyes. "What? Your father?"

Amy nodded "It's my fault, I was in the way."

I shook my head "It's not your fault, don't ever say that." I told her.

"It is, all I want was for the yelling to stop. So I told him to talk in softer voices, he punched me."

"What else did he do?" I asked cautiously. But when she didn't answer and she just kept shaking her head. I tiled it up and made her look me in the eyes. "You can tell me, I promise to do everything in my power, to keep you safe."

As tears started to fall from her eyes, and stained her shirt. Amy cried out "He raped me, I asked him to stop. But he didn't, he kept going and I started to bleed."

"Are you sure"

"Yes, ma'am." Amy, wiped her eyes "He... He... He" She kept repeating herself

I nodded and wrapped my arm's around her. "Why don't you go sit back down. I will be there in a few minutes."

"What are you going to do?" She sniffled back a tear and opened her eyes wide.

"I'm going to take care of it."

During Recess I had allowed Amy, to stay in my class. It was a 15 minute break between classes so I thought this would be a great time to tell the office. I really didn't want to do this, I mean I only heard about something like this in movies. But to actually deal with it first hand is scary, first of all I really didn't know what would happen to Amy. She had two other siblings, and her mother left when she was six. Her bother is in the fifth grade here, and her sister is in the same class as Danielle.

"Aria" The principle said in sang like voice "What's up?" He asked when I approached his door.

"I have a problem with one of my students." I announced and he motioned for me to have a seat. "She's been raped."

Ben, looked a little taken back and shocked "Are you sure about this?" I nodded and sat back in the chair. "How did you find out?"

"She told me."

"Who is it?" He finally asked after the two of us shared a brief moment of silence.

"Amy Conner. She is a bright young lady, always on time, always ready to learn. I've had her in my second grade class last year. She has never missed her homework, she has never showed any sign of depression. But today, there was no spark in her eyes what so ever, homework was not done. She barely showed any eye contact." I explained "So I pulled her to the side, and she basically broke down."

Ben nodded "I will take care of this." He told me looking up at the clock 'There is a few minutes left of break. Are you willing to write down what you just told me for record wise" I nodded and he handed me a piece of paper. "Also, I hate to do this. But I have to call in her sister and brother, I also want you to call her in here."

I stood up once I was finished and nodded my head "I will, thank you ben"

Ezra's POV:

I groaned as I looked up at the time, Byron Montgomery still didn't show up. And that bothered me, I didn't know what he was up too. But if he was here to start up trouble, than that would just piss me off. I looked up at the clock and noticed it was almost 1pm. I usually have lunch around this time, but with the project in mind I just kept on working.

Earlier today, I had put out an ad for a new TA, I made a promise to Aria and that's something I was planning on keeping. I looked up at the clock again and noticed the time didn't pass from the last few seconds that I had already looked. I groaned again when I heard a loud knock on my door.

"Come In" Yelled out and waited for someone to open. I rolled my eyes and just as I was about to get up, the door flung open.

"Hello Ezra" Byron stood in front of half drunk. "Did you read over my resume?" he slurred a little and stumbled back.

"Mr. Montgomery, you need to sit down." I told him pulling out a chair and closing the door behind him.

"Don't tell me what to do boy" He yelled "You took everyone from me."

I shook my head and sat down at my desk "I have done NO such thing. I didn't tell you to sleep around with other woman."

Byron scuffed "You don't know what you're talking about."

I folded my arm's and sat back in my chair, I cracked a smile and shook my head "Who would have thought, you'd be sitting in front of me. Drunk and asking for a job." Okay, so I had a bit of an attitude. But he deserved it, for crashing my wedding.

"Your brave Ezra, how would you feel if I told everyone here. That you slept with one of your students?" He smirked thinking he had the best of me

"I did know such thing. Aria and I slept together, when you had gotten me fired from Hollis. Best night of my life, even if I was Job less."

Byron stood up and I did the same. "You think you got the best of me? Ezra, your nothing but a pervert. Who pries off of young woman." He yelled and in walked Heidi.

"Me" I yelled changeling him "I am not the one who got Fired, divorced. Because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants... for sleeping around with grad-students. I am glad I talked to Aria, I was feeling sorry for you. I was about to give you the position."

"Dean" Heidi interjected.

I shook my head "Show Mr. Montgomery out" I pointed to the door. But just as Byron finished glaring at me. I called him back "Get out of New York. No one wants you here, you piece of shit."

"Up yours, Ezra."

I let out a huge sigh, as I wiped my face and sat back down in my chair. I rubbed my face again, and placed my elbows on my desk holding my head up. Oh my god, if only I had the courage to do that when Aria, was in high school... This was so much better than the time, I stood up to him at Hollis. This was almost like revenge, and I like it.

I liked that I could protect my family and still be able to stand tall. I smiled and shook my head as I found a new level of myself.

"What the hell was that?" Heidi shouted and I looked at her with the same grin.

"My father in-law" I responded.

"That's your wife father?" Heidi looked at me shocked and I nodded. "Damn, he's hot"

I knitted my eyebrows and shook my head. "He's a pervert."

Heidi smirked "I have been working with you, for over five months. And you haven't noticed one single detail about me. I love older men, they are so experienced and most of them don't come with to many attachments"

I let out a laugh "You are something you know that?" I chuckled "Your bright, you don't need older men to make you feel special" I stood up and picked up my things.

Heidi closed the door behind her and I looked up at her cursorily. "What are you doing?"

"Like I said. I have been here for over five months, and not once. Have I seen your wife." She said in the most seductive voice "When she calls, all she has is sarcasm, nothing nice to say about her hard working husband." She graced my cheek before launching at me. I pulled her away after, I got my head on straight.

"What the hell are you thinking?" I yelled. "I am in love with Aria, you need to leave." I pointed to the door. "Now"

"Come one Ezra, you know you want something young and fresh."

I scuffed "My wife, isn't that much older than you. She is as young and fresh as I want it. Now get out"

"You'll regret this"

Aria's POV:

As I ended the day with no homework, just a few study sheets. I had slipped Amy a note telling her to stay after class...

"Alright, that's the bell. Everyone who's taking the bus, please walk and don't run. For those of you, who's parents are coming. Please line up against the wall."I announced and gathered my things.

"Amy" I called out "Walk with me"

She nodded and when the last students left the class, I closed and locked my door... As we walked to the kinder garden building, I thought I was going to lose my mind. I really didn't know what I could do other than comfort her.

"Mrs. Fitz?" Amy, whispered loud enough for me to hear over all the after school noise.

"Yes" I looked down and she gave me a wearily smile.

"I'm scared. I don't want to go back home." She let a few tears fall before we ended up at the building. "I'm scared."

I bent down. "I have to pick up my daughter, and I will get your sister. Okay? I won't let anything happen to you"

Amy nodded "What about my brother?"

"Don't worry."

"Mommy" Danielle exclaimed "Can we go to the park for a while?"

I giggled and shook my head "I'm afraid not. We have to deal with a few things, before going home. I am going to see if Mr. Parker can watch you for a while."

"What about Daddy?"

I shrugged "Right."

"Mrs. Fitz?" Ben called when I entered the office with Danielle, Amy and her little sister. There were also a couple of police officers and a few people in suits.

"Ben? What's going on?"

"There from child welfare. I had to call them, its all matters of the children" I nodded my head in agreement.

"Are you Amy?" The lady asked. Amy, looked up at me and hid behind me.

"Mrs. Fitz?" She whispered.

"Amy, you don't have to be afraid of us. We are just trying to help. But first we would like to talk to you for a bit" The lady held out her hand.

"Mrs. Fitz come with me please" She begged.

"Aria Fitz, it's alright you may join us." The other guys said.

"That's fine, can you just give me a couple of minutes? I need to call my husband to pick up our children." I smiled as she nodded and asked Ben to watch the kids. I went out the door and called Ezra, but like usual he didn't answer. So I had just left a message... Just as I was about to open the door. Amy's brother walked up to me.

"Mrs. Fitz, have you seen my sisters? I went to your classroom and they told me Amy went with you and so did Lauren" He looked concern, and worried about his sisters.

"Walter,, I need you to be honest with me." I sucked in a breath and pulled him to the side. "Do you know what happen last night?"

Walter, looked away from me and shrugged his shoulders as he played with his bag. "You can tell me"

"I don't want to get hurt Mrs. Fitz. My father will kill me." He whispered in a sincere tone.

"Amy, has already told me." I said placing a soothing hand on his arm. "You can tell me what you know. I wont hurt you"

Walter nodded "He beat me last night, because I had gotten my homework wrong." Walter stopped and waited till the children passed us "Amy, just wanted him to stop. So she could finish her homework, so Amy asked him to keep his voice down. And...And" He paused not knowing how to finish. I just nodded and took hold of his hand.

"Everything is going to be alright."

I'm sorry for any errors. I wanted to give you guys this chapter before I head out for the day/night. IDK when I would get home sooo. Don't for get to review
