Aria plopped down onto her bed with a huge sigh, another evening of utter boredom. And thanks to mister pervert, she was dragged out of the store without even being able to buy some new books. Suddenly she saw something fly in through the window and it dropped onto the floor. She got off her bed, picked it up and then walked over to the window to see who threw it. "No surprise there", she thought as she watched Ezra walk back to his car.

She sat back down onto her bed and opened the piece of paper, it read "B-26". Aria turned over the paper to see if there was anything else written on it, but that wasn't the case. "B-26? What's that supposed to mean?", Aria thought out loud. She said B-26 out loud a couple of times, but it meant nothing to her. Was it some kind of code or? She shook her head in annoyance, crumpled up the paper and threw it in the paper bin next to her desk.

She laid herself down onto her bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about everything that had happened today. She went to the bookstore and the man she had bumped into said they knew each other, very well actually. Her mother said the same thing in the car, that she knew this man very well. Which would be true, because he was her teacher. The fact that he had made an inappropriate pass at her seemed weird, because he did seem like a genuinely nice guy. But then again, her mother had warned her that he wasn't what he seemed. But if she got him fired for it, then why would he offer to buy her a coffee to explain her about "us". As far as Aria knew, there was no "us". Aria found the whole thing confusing, and she didn't really know what to do with it. "I don't know what they told you, but don't believe it", those were his exact words. Why would he say something like that? Not to mention the way he said it…with so much desperation. "We've been in love for years", what if he was right? No… there's no way he could be right. There was no way her parents would lie to her like that, parents are there to protect you. Then again… it did seem rather strange how her room looked like it hadn't been lived in for years. But that was explained by the fact that she had stayed in the college dorms. So either her parents were lying to her about this guy, or this guy was really obsessed with her. There was no way her parents would ever lie to her, so it wouldn't matter if she did some research on this guy, right? It wasn't like she was really going to find something, right?

Aria got up from her bed and started looking through some stuff in her room trying to link this "B-26" to something. After going through everything in her room, she found absolutely nothing. Which was good, right? Because it meant her parents weren't lying? Or maybe it just meant that whatever this "B-26" refers too, wasn't in her room? Aria kicked her bed, annoyed that she couldn't remember anything. Aria brought her hand to her forehead and rubbed it. "Great, another headache, just what I needed", she said. Aria changed into her pajamas and decided it would probably be better if she went to bed early, at least when she slept she didn't feel the pain. Not too long after she got into bed, she fell asleep and had a very vivid dream.

Aria was driving around in her car, she noticed she was in Rosewood. She passed her high school, a sports field, and then all of a sudden she passed a bar. The bar looked pretty old, and right above the door there was a sign with the bar's name on it, B-26. Aria parked her car right in front of the bar. She looked around her, but there was no one else there. She decided to walk inside. She walked through the door, but when she got inside, it was just an empty room. No bar, no chairs, no tables, no people. She took a few more steps into the room, looking around. Suddenly, she heard a song in the background, a melody. She tried to listen to the lyrics, but she couldn't understand one word of it. She started looking for a music installation, maybe if she got closer to the source of the music, she would be able to understand the words. But it was no use, the room was empty, no music installation. She decided to leave and she walked out of the bar. When she was outside, she saw something on her right. She saw a falafel stand that wasn't there before, the sign next to it said "B-26". She decided to get back into her car, but it wasn't there anymore. Where her car was just standing, was now another car, a silver Toyota Camry. Inside she could see two people kissing each other, but she couldn't make out their faces. She walked over to the back of the car, there she saw the license plate "B-26". The back window was fogged up, so she took her finger and wrote "I see you" on it. Then she walked away from the car. She walked across the street to see an apartment building, house number… yet again "B-26". She decided to go inside and she walked through the door. Suddenly she was standing inside of someone's apartment now, it looked very familiar. She saw a desk, a typewriter, lots of books and empty boxes of take-out on the table. Suddenly she heard a cell phone ring, it was hers, and she was holding it. Caller id "B-26". She picked up the phone, but all she could hear was a lot of static. She tried to listen very carefully, but she couldn't really make out anything of what was being said, except for "wait for me, please" and "Aria". She hung up the phone. Suddenly she was startled by someone pounding on the door. On the other side of the door she could hear someone say, "Open this door, right now! We know you're in there Aria", it was the voice of her father. Suddenly her father busted in the door.

Suddenly Aria awakened from her dream, startled and out of breath. She was sweating like crazy and her head hurt even more than before she went to sleep. She looked at her clock, it was 4.30 AM. What kind of a dream was that? And what was with all this B-26 stuff everywhere in her dream? It had to mean something right?

Aria got out of bed and went to the bathroom to splash some water in her face. When she was in there, someone knocked on the door, "Aria, is that you in there?". Aria walked over to the bathroom door and opened it. She saw Byron standing right in front of her. Just when she was about to say something, she got a stab of pain in her head and she screamed out in pain, grabbing the place where it hurt with her hand. Byron panicked, touched her arm and said, "Aria, are you okay?". All of a sudden she remembered her dad grabbing her by the arm, dragging her away, saying "You come with me young lady. You know you are not allowed to see him anymore!". Byron shook Aria by the shoulder, trying to snap her out of it, "Aria? Aria? Are you okay? What's wrong?". Aria looked at him with a questioning look on her face. Should she tell him? She decided it would probably be best if she didn't and said, "I'm fine. It's just another headache. I'm just going to go back to sleep". And then Aria went back to her room to sleep. Byron returned to his room as well.

The next morning Ella woke up Aria, "Hey sweetie, I heard you had a rough night? I'm sorry. So how about we go get you those new books today, seeing as we didn't get the chance to yesterday?". Aria rubbed her sleepy eyes, smiled and said, "Okay, that sounds great". After Aria took a shower, got dressed and had breakfast, they got in the car to go to the bookstore.

When they were on their way to the bookstore, Aria was looking out of the window taking in the scenery. All of a sudden Aria spotted the bar from her dreams, but the bar wasn't named "B-26". Aria yelled "Stop!". Ella was startled and immediately stopped the car. Aria undid her seatbelt, got out of the car and ran towards the bar. Ella looked confused and yelled after her daughter, "Aria! What are you doing!". Ella leaned over to the passenger's side of the car and closed Aria's door. Then she proceeded to find a parking space so she could go after her daughter.

Aria heard her mother yelling at her from a distance, but she didn't care. She needed to find out why this bar was in her dreams, and how it was related to "B-26". As she walked inside she saw that the room was definitely not empty, like it had been in her dreams, but there weren't that many people in the bar either. One man was sitting at the bar, another man was sitting at a table and then there was a young couple sitting at another table. Aria heard music and looked around, it was coming from the jukebox. She walked over to it sand saw that there were letter-number combinations for the songs. She looked for B-26, put in the money and played it. A few seconds later the song started playing, it was the same melody from her dream. Aria started smiling, though she didn't really know why.

Suddenly the girl at the table signaled the bartender and said, "Can we get two cheeseburgers over here, please?". Aria got a stab of pain to her head and remembered ordering a cheeseburger here. She started feeling sick from the pain and she walked into the bathroom to splash some water on her face. After she splashed her face with cold water, she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked like a mess. She couldn't look at herself anymore, so she turned around and leaned against the bathroom countertop. She got another stab of pain to the head and she remembered someone saying "I'd like to know more about you". The voice sounded like Ezra's.

In the meanwhile, Ella had parked the car and walked into the bar. She couldn't see her daughter so she asked the bartender if he might have seen her. The bartender pointed to the bathroom. Ella walked in and saw Aria leaning against the bathroom countertop, holding her head with her hands. She rushed to her daughter's side and asked, "Aria, what's wrong!". Aria replied, "My headaches, they're getting worse. I don't know how much longer I can take this pain". Ella looked very worried and asked, "Is that why you ran in here? Because you weren't feeling well?". Aria doesn't make eye contact with her mother, she didn't want to tell her the real reason why she was in here, so she lied and said, "Yes". Ella grabbed her cell phone and called the hospital to make an appointment with Aria's doctor. After the phone call, Aria turned back to her daughter and said, "Come on, let's go. The doctor said he'll see us right now". And then they left to go to the hospital.

When they were in the doctor's office, the doctor asked her a few questions. "How long have you been having these pains?", the doctor asked. Aria replied, "Ever since the accident I've been having headaches frequently, but those were manageable. The really painful stabs to the head, I got for the first time last night. And then again this morning, but the pain is just unbearable". The doctor nodded, scribbled some things down on a paper in front of him, and asked, "And is there anything you do or anything that happens before you get this pain?". Aria didn't know what to reply to this. The answer was yes, something did happen when she got this pain, she remembered something. But her mother was sitting right next to her, so she couldn't exactly say that, she didn't want her mother knowing anything about this before she herself knew what was going on. Aria shook her head. The doctor said, "Okay then. I suggest we take another scan to see if there's anything wrong. Mrs. Montgomery, you can go sit in the waiting room. I'll take Aria with me for her scan right now". Ella did was she was told and the doctor told Aria to follow him.

When they were in the room to take her scan she said, "Excuse me, doctor? There's actually something I didn't tell you just now. I wanted to, but I couldn't because my mother was in the room". The doctor looked at her with a questioning look and asked, "What did you want to tell me?". Aria replied, "I think I might know why I am having these pains. Last night I had a very strange dream and since then I've been remembering some things, small things, but they're always paired with painful stabs to the head". The doctor looked surprised and asked, "So, your memories are coming back?". Aria sighed and said, "I don't know. Maybe? Like I said, I didn't remember much, and I can't really figure out when these things happened, or if they actually happened". The doctor nodded and said, "I see. Well, just give it time. This is a good thing, even if it is paired with lots of pain. You have to understand that you suffered quite a blow to the head, so even though the swelling is gone, your brain is still recuperating. And if you really are remembering things, then it'll put more strain on your brain than usual. Let's just do that scan now, just to make sure". Aria smiled and said, "Okay. You won't tell my parents about this, right?". The doctor smiled back and said, "You're not a minor anymore. Doctor-patient confidentiality, don't worry, I won't tell them". After that, they proceeded to take a scan of Aria's head. When they went back to the doctor's office to discuss further, he told her that nothing out of the ordinary showed up on the scan. He prescribed Aria some painkillers, but advised her only to take one if the pain was unbearable.

On their way to the car, Ella stopped her daughter and asked, "Are you sure you're okay? You seem a little quiet". Aria turned to her mother and said, "I'm fine, honestly. I just try not to think of the pain". Ella nodded and said, "Okay then. Well, we should get you home so you can rest". Aria shook her head, "No! I'm okay, really. I feel much better now. We should still go to the bookstore, it'll be good for me", trying to persuade her mother. Aria wasn't lying when she said she was feeling much better. Keeping the fact that she was getting her memories back a secret from her parents, gave her stress. But now that she had been able to tell someone else, it had lifted a weight of her shoulders. Ella thought about it for a second and then agreed to go to the bookstore with Aria. Then they continued their way to the car and headed for the bookstore.

When they were at the bookstore, Aria started browsing for some books and picked a few out. As she was walking, one of the books she was holding slipped out of her hands and dropped to the floor. A man that was standing in the isle saw this, picked the book up and handed it over to Aria. Aria said thanks and took the book from the man. As she did this, she suddenly remembered someone handing her a book with "Poetry" on the cover whilst saying "Read B-26". Aria started thinking, so this B-26 is a poem, not a song? Aria looked around to see where her mother was. Ella was looking at some books in the back of the store. Aria walked over to the checkout desk and asked the guy behind it, "Excuse me? I was wondering if you could look something up for me? If I give you the title of a poem, would you be able to tell me who wrote it and in which poetry book it was published?". The guy behind the desk replied, "I don't think that should be a problem. What's the title of the poem?". Aria smiled and said, "The title is B-26, B dash 26". The guy typed B-26 on his keyboard, clicked a few times and then turned back to Aria, "The poem was written by an Ezra Fitz". Aria looked down at the ground…Ezra…so this is what he meant. Aria turned back to the guy and asked, "Do you sell the book it's published in? I would like to buy it". The guy looked it up into his computer and replied, "You're in luck. There's only one copy left. I'll go get it for you". About a minute or two later, the guy returned with the book and said, "Here you go. Will that be all?". Aria looked at the other books in her hand, what if her mother checked her books? Aria turned around to see where her mother was, but she wasn't standing where she was before. Aria turned to the guy behind the desk and said, "Yes. Just this book, please. Aria paid for the book and quickly put it away in her bag. Suddenly she saw her mother coming towards her. "Phew, just in time", Aria thought to herself. Ella reached her daughter and asked, "So, did you find any good new books?". Aria waved the books in her hand, smiled and said, "Yes, I was about to pay for them". Ella took the books out of Aria's hands, checked them and said, "Don't be silly, I'll pay for those". Ella put all of the books on the desk and paid for them. After that, they left the bookstore and headed home. Oh boy, was Aria glad she had paid for the other book herself before her mother saw it.

When they got home, Aria told her mother that she was going to her room to rest up a bit before dinner. Ella told her daughter to have a nice nap and then Aria made her way upstairs. As she entered her room, she walked over to her desk and put her new books on them. She went to sit on her bed and she took the poetry book out of her bag. She opened it and searched the index for poem B-26. It was page 22. She opened the book to page 22 and there, right in front of her, it was. "Ezra Fitz. B-26". She started reading the poem, and then she read it again, and again. "It's a song", the song she had heard in her dream and today in the bar? "It's a girl", what that supposed to mean her? "Gold falafel", she saw a falafel stand in her dream, maybe that's why she dreamt about it? "Phone calls", she had gotten a phone call in her dream from someone, she couldn't really understand what the person on the other side was saying, but maybe that was Ezra? "A foreign car", the Toyota Camry she had seen in her dream with the two people kissing inside. Were those two people… her and Ezra?

Aria didn't know what to think anymore. Was she just supposed to believe that the two people in that car had been her and Ezra? Was she supposed to believe that she would willingly be kissing her teacher? She would never do anything like that! So was this poem really about her? It probably was, right? Why else would he have thrown the name of this poem through her window if it wasn't about her? Aria didn't know how to feel about this. On one hand she felt confused and scared, she had no idea what this all meant. One the other hand she felt kind of excited, after all, this had triggered some of her memory. Whoever this man was, whatever he had done to her in the past, or hadn't done, she was grateful to him for causing this.

Aria wanted to hide the book somewhere so her parents wouldn't find it. She realized all too well, that if her parents were really lying to her, that seeing this book would make them realize that she had figured things out. And who knows what they would do then? And if they hadn't been lying to her, and they saw this book, they would think that she didn't trust them and believed Ezra over them. She remembered a secret hiding place of hers, a loose floorboard under her bed. Why hadn't she thought about this earlier? Maybe there was something else in there? She checked it, but there was nothing in there but an old cell phone. "Why would I hide a cell phone in there?", Aria asked herself. Aria put on the cell phone, she had to see what was on there. Four digit pin code… she didn't even remember having this phone, let alone it's pin code. Aria tried her old pin code, it worked! So this was her old number… Which meant that the cell phone that was destroyed in the car fire, had been a new number. She wondered for a second why she would get a new number, or another number for that matter, but decided that it wasn't important. Aria checked the cell phone. She first went to see if there were any messages left in her inbox… no messages. Then she went to check her contact list. There was only one number in there, and it belonged to…

Ezra Fitz.

And that was chapter 4! I really hope you liked it, and I really hope you review!
