Aria's POV

I had never been so happy to be home in my life. I had missed my own bed and my stuffed teddy named Teddy. After I was discharged from the hospital my mom picked up my prescription and we drove home. Byron ordered me on bed rest until finally notice and I climbed the stairs to my room. I walked by the mirror on my dressed and stopped and stared at my reflection. I had serious bed hair, my face was still bruised, and I looked pale. I gathered my toiletries and went into the bathroom to take a nice long hot shower washing my frizzy hair in the process.

I felt refreshed and better than I had cooped up in the hospital for days. I changed into a pair of boy shorts and a tank top grabbed my phone and crawled into bed cuddling up with Teddy. I was in the middle of texting Hanna when I got distracted by my hot older boyfriend who was carrying flowers balloons and I box if chocolate stood in the door way with that boyish smile of his that I loved.

"Hey" I chimed way happier now that he was here and carrying gifts.

He kicked off his shoes and crawled into my bed laying beside me. My mom had found out about Ezra and me a long time ago and after a thorough conversation on the do's and don'ts and an agonizing sex talk that she just had to have with Ezra and I she finally accepting us dating. She was really cool like that, and we all gently broke the news to my dad who took it pretty hard and punched Ezra but who has since came around to the idea.

"Hey" he kissed me but before I could deepened it he pulled away. I pouted and he laughed.

"You just got out of the hospital" he said still chuckling.

"I'm fine" I insisted and leaned into to kiss him some more ignoring the pain of my side that was clearly trying to object to the idea of me moving. I tried to hide the pain in my face but of course he saw it and ordered me to lay back down.

"Are those chocolates for me?" I asked with really sweetly batting my eyes lashes and smiling. He laughed again and handed it too me.

I tore into the box and grabbing one biting into one that was filled with chocolate. A small moan escaped my lips as I finished off the piece of chocolate and I saw Ezra shutter a little bit.

I smirked and leaned over to kiss him but he pulled away again and I was starting to get pissed.

"That's the second time you pulled away from me Ezra, do you not want to kiss me" I asked him anger in my voice.

He looked at me with those gorgeous blue eyes of his and I found myself letting go of some of that anger but I had to keep my resolve.

"Yes I do but" he said but I cut him off.

"But what and don't say its because I just got out of the hospital because you haven't been wanting to kiss me at all lately" I said remember all the times that I kissed him but it never was like any of our previous kisses. He was never into them like he was before.

He didn't say anything and just looked away from me and I suddenly remember the short conversation in the hospital that I fell asleep on.

"Does this has something to do with whatever it is I can't remember" I asked and he quickly cut his head to me that apologetic look back in his eyes.

"Whatever it is Ezra you can tell me" I said. "We can get through it"

The look he gave me told me that he wanted to believe that but knew that we couldn't and I got a sick feeling in my stomach. "Please" I begged again like I did in the hospital not one for begging but whatever this secret was it was keeping us apart and I had to know it.

He looked at me and I could see the war ragging in his head and him contemplating on whatever it is that he had to tell me. After a few seconds of silence the war was over and he made up his mind on what he wanted to do and I held my breath and waited for him to say it.

"Aria" he said grabbing my hand and I can could see the tears starting to form in his eyes. "I-" he begin but was cut off with Hannah coming in my room bubbly as ever.

She was holding a container of food and Spence and Emily were behind her holding movies and junk food. Neither Ezra or I looked at them. We just held each other gaze.

"Are we interrupting something?" Spence ask sensing the obvious tension in the room.

"Yes. No" I and answer at the same time. He let go of my hand.

"We'll talk later" he kissed my forehead slipped on his shoes and left the room.

"What was that about?" Emily asked as the walked into the room.

"I don't know but whatever it was I have a feeling it wasn't good" I admitted looking out the door as Ezra left.
