This chapter has a lot more drama in it I hope you like it R/R
Ezra's POV
When I woke up the next morning Aria was still in my arms on the couch. I checked my watch and it was only 7:45 I didn't want to wake Aria up for a little while more not until at least 8:20 so she can sleep and still have time to get ready for Ella to come over. For the next half hour I just laid there holding her trying to be happy before Ella got here but it wasn't really working
When I got her up at 8:23 she grabbed her hairbrush cloths and her toothbrush and ran in the bathroom
She started the shower and I hurried up and got changed but I was also nervous because I was really hoping that Aria would be out of the bathroom by the time her mother got here. . . I was wrong because her mom came 15 minutes early when I answered the door her mom came in looked around and said
"where is she?"
"in the bathroom getting dressed"
I was trying to look like I wasn't nervous or uncomfortable which wasn't going so good then Aria finally came out
"hi mom" I could tell she was scared with her mom being here but she put on a smile hopefully Ella was buying it
"hello Aria"
Aria went into the kitchen and brought out 3 coffees and sat ext to me on the couch while Ella was sitting in the chair.
Ella started first
"ok if you expect me to be ok with this and let you keep your relationship you need to answer ALL my questions"
"ok mom what do you want to know first"
"well where did you two meet or did you start when you meet in the classroom?"
"no we didn't , um we actually met the when we came back from Iceland and I went to drop Mike off at practice I got hungry so I went to a pub and he was there and we just clicked"
"and you two never thought about asking about age"
"well that's actually my fault mom I kind of made him think I was in college majoring in English"
"and you never tried to break it off when you found out about you being her teacher Ezra"
"I did try but I was already in love with her so I left to go to the city to try and find another job so we might have a chance but then when I came back and seen Aria with Noel Kahn I decided I couldn't take normal happiness away from her. Then the night Hanna got hit by that car we got back together a little before that I mean yes we have had our ups and downs but we always come out in the strong end"
"and what about Simone what happened with you and her"
"well she was nice and pretty and a great writer and yes it would be easier to be with her but she isn't Aria she is worth the risk I love her too much to leave her for anyone"
"yea and I almost kicked her ass back to the city if she kept hanging on you and flirting with you at the dance but then luckily I calmed myself" I started to forget I was talking to my mom then Ezra put his hands on mine as if to say calm down
"ok this next question is going to be as terrible for me as it is for you but I have to ask you . . . Um have you two -" we both cut her off right there
"NO!" then I spoke
"that is one thing BOTH of us want to wait for" I looked at Aria to see her face turn a slight shade of pink
"so Ezra what do you plan on doing when she leaves for college?"
"wherever Aria goes I will be right there with her that's if she still wants me too when the time comes"
"of course I will"
"you should tell your father Aria"
"I will I just have to fig-" her mom didn't let her finish
"TONIGHT at dinner at the house"
"what mom not I can't"
"you will or I will tell him and it will be worse when I tell him because he didn't hear it from you"
"mom I can't"
"Aria I am NOT going to keep something this big a secret"
"mom please"
"if you don't want me to tell him the I want BOTH of you at the house tonight and tell him yourselves" we both too a deep breath and I looked at Aria and she was nodding signaling that we should do it so I looked at Ella and said
"ok . . . " I closed my eyes as I said "what time?"
"7:30" after that she got up and left
XXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
For the rest of the day we talked the at 6:45 we decided to get ready for dinner
We got to her house at about 7:25 but we just sat in the car
"it will be ok Ezra no matter what they say it wont change anything between us"
"I know Aria I just don't want them to hurt you"
"hey no matter what I always have you right"
"of course" we both smiled and she said
"well lets get this over with" we got out of the car and walked up to the door but before she opened it she looked at me and pulled me in for a kiss then put her forehead on mine and said
"I love you"
"I love you too" she grabbed my hand and opened the door when we go inside she called out
"Mom? Dad? Mike?" then Ella came out of the kitchen
"your father and Mike went out they should be back in a few minutes"
We all sat in the kitchen in silence. When we heard 2 car doors me and Aria jumped up then we heard
"who's silver car is out front"
"you will find out when you come in here" when he walked in he immediately looked at me and said
"Ezra what are you doing here" I started to talk
"well I um-"he looked at my hand sitting in Aria's and he said
"what the hell is going on here" Aria responded this time
"dad sit down please"
"no please tell me what is going on here"
"please dad sit down" he finally sat down still looking at our hands intertwined
"dad me and . . . Ezra are . . . Engaged" she held her finger up with her ring on it as he started looking back and forth at the 2 of us he slammed his hands down on the table and jumped up and said
"you're what? I knew you had a mystery guy but I didn't think this is why he was a mystery. What are you thinking both of you, you're only 16 Aria ok yes your almost 17 and you will be going to college soon but you're still too young"
"daddy please don't tell anyone"
"why shouldn't I Aria"
"if you don't want to lose me then you wont tell"
"fine I wont but I'm not supporting it" me and Aria was still standing there wondering what we should do then Byron came walking towards us and said
"well Aria never said I couldn't do this" we looked at each other while Mike and Ella was standing there looking confused as well then the next thing I knew his face was hitting me in the jaw and when I fell to the floor Aria started freaking out
"dad whatr the hellis wrong with you? Are your crazy?"
"you told me not to tell anyone and I'm not but I needed a way to get my anger out" Aria got up and said
"well I need a way to get my anger out too" then she slapped him in the face and said
"you just lost me dad goodbye" she helped me up and said
"come on Ezra we're leaving" when we went to walk out Byron grabbed her arm and told her
"no you're not. You're not going anywhere young lady" she pulled her arm away
"let go of me dad" he grabbed her arm again and turned her to face him then he did something I never thought he would do he hit her in the face and bent down to where she was on the floor and put his finger in her face as if to say something but then I stopped him by pulling him back up so he was standing up
"what do you want I am talking to my dau-" I cut him off by punching him in the face and knocking him to the floor now Ella went rushing by his side while mike was helping Aria up
I looked at Byron and said
"NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON HER EVER AGAIN!" I walked over to Aria and Mike and thanked him for helping Arian and walked Aria out the door
As we were driving away I looked at her while she was crying
"look I'm sorry for what I did back there but I just cant see you get hurt especially like that . . . Are you ok?"
"yea I'm fine I just can't believe he just did that, and don't be sorry you were just protecting me" she was still crying , she ended up crying herself to sleep
When we got to my apartment I carried her up it was dark so nobody seen me carrying her
When I opened the door I laid her on the bed and covered her up I couldn't sleep with what happened tonight so I ended up sitting on the couch where I think I fell asleep because the last time I seen was 3:54am
I hope you liked it I know the hitting was a little over the top but I thought it added something to it
