One year later

Aria's POV

A year had passed since the confrontation I had with my sister and Ezra on that hospital room. I left New York with Spencer shortly after this day. We both agreed that it was what was best for me. Spencer agreed to move to Denver with me since she was able to find a another job as a lawyer in the biggest city firm. I manage to find another job as an High school English teacher too shortly after our arrival. Spencer and I were sharing a large apartment and were happy with where ours life's were heading to. Everything was back to normal, I was trying the best that I could to forget about Ezra, about Emma, about my life back in Rosewood, back in New York.

I was finally happy with my life when it all went down again in a blink of an eye.

Ezra's POV

After my "accident" in Columbia, I started to have flashback, I started to have those weird dreams. Those flashbacks and dreams seemed really real, joyful but also heartbreaking. My head was in constant pain. I went to see multiple specialist and one diagnosis came back every time. Those dreams weren't just dreams, they were memories from my life before my accident, from my past.

The clearer those dreams became, the stranger Emma started to be. She was avoiding all my question about my past, about her sister, about her family and our life together before the accident. We never talked about that day in the hospital, like it was some kind of taboo between us.

All the dreams that I had were about the same person, about a faceless girl with a golden laugh and a golden heart. The more I tried to remember her face, her name, the harder it became to control the pain caused by each flashback.

After another dream of mine, I tried to ask Emma about what she knew of my previous relationship with other girl. I asked her if she knew something about the faceless girl of my dreams. But every time she dodged the questions and became angrier with it every time I brought it back.

It was now 6month later , I was still living in New York with Emma, we were distant even if Emma was obviously trying to chase after what we had before my accident. I was still having flashbacks and dreams about the girl. The dreams were usually the same but I didn't mind.

After quite a vivid dream, I went to see Emma in our bedroom to ask her one more time about my past. The last time I asked her was about 3 month ago. After seeing Emma's reaction I decided not to bring my dreams again in any of our conversation. But this time, it had been too long, I had to know what happened in my past. I had to know who was this girl and what if I "remembered" had really happened.

"Emma, look I know you don't want to talk about it but I need to know. Who is the girl in my dreams, I know you know so don't you run away from my question please Emma, I need to know."

"Why do you need to know? What we have isn't enough for you, I'm not good enough for you. I bet you rather be with this girl instead of me…" She replied angrily

"That's not the point Emma and you know it. I need to know so I can move on from it, so I can maybe remember other stuff from my past, like my childhood, my parents…"

"I don't know who she is Ezra. Don't bring this up again" She said before locking herself in the bathroom.

I could hear that she was talking by herself so I stepped closer to the door

"Damn it Aria, why did you have to come back in my life, why did you had to fall in love with him all those years ago? I hate you, I laugh you".

Aria… Hearing her name after all this time brought back another flashback. But this time, I wasn't blurry at all, everything was so clear. I could see the girl in front of me, as she came closer, I realized that the faceless girl had a face. Aria, Aria was the girl in my dreams. I soon as my dream stopped, I knew I had to find her, I knew I had to see her.

I grabbed my laptop my keys and walked to the closest Starbucks so Emma wouldn't know what I was about to do. I opened my laptop and looked for her.

I typed "Aria Montgomery" in Google search bar. Not a lot came up just that she graduated from Carnegie Melon two years ago, and she was class valedictorian. I couldn't be prouder of her which was a bit strange since I couldn't really remember who she was. But every time I see her face on the few pictures that were on the internet, my heart started to race faster and I couldn't help but to smile and be proud of her.

For 6 month I looked for her everywhere, I even hired a PI. It might seems desperate but I had to find Aria. It was like she was the missing piece of the puzzle of my life. Just when I was about to give up, just when I was about to convince myself that maybe she didn't want to be found I got a phone called that changed my life.

"Hello Mr. Fitz?"

"Yes this is him speaking"

"This is Mr. Jefferson, I have great new, I found the woman you were looking for. She leaves in Denver. I'll text you the other information but my job is done."

"Thank you so much for all your hard work thanks a lot"

"You're welcome, Bye Mr. Fitz have a nice day and Good luck".

As soon as I got the information, I started to pack a bag so I could go look for her. After one year of searching and waiting, I was finally going to see her again. I would finally be able to explain myself. I called Emma and told her that I was going on a conference in Denver for Columbia.

1,629 miles and 3 hours and 15 minutes later, I landed in Denver ready to change my life for the better. I didn't know her address but I knew she worked at Leaside High School. I arrived in front of the school around three. It was perfect, classes would be over soon and I could have a chance to talk to her. I made my way into the front office.

"Hi, can you show me the way to Ms Montgomery's class please?"

"Sure, it's the 3rd door on your right sir."

"Thank you, have a nice day"

There it was, room 3B. I was suddenly anxious of what would happened once I stepped in that class. I tried to calm down and knocked on the door. As I opened the door, I saw her, even more gorgeous than in my dreams. She was sitting at her desk grading papers. She seemed so into it that she hadn't even hear me come in.

"Aria?" I asked softly

She turned her towards me and I could see the shock on her face

A/N: Cliff hanger! Do you think Aria will listen to his explanation or do you think she is going to send him back to New York with nothing more than a goodbye ?

I already wrote the next few chapters so I'll update soon. Let me know what you would like to see happening in this story! I hope you still enjoy it .
