"Teachers don't look at their students the way you are looking at me, Mr. Fitz." Aria said quietly.

Ezra's POV

"Because you're so much more than that! Because I'm in love with you!" I wanted to scream, but I knew I couldn't.

To my relief, the door to Aria's room swung open before I could respond to her question. Ella walked in, with a bottle of water in her hands.

"Oh, Ezra, I didn't think you'd still be here." She handed Aria her water, before sitting down next to her daughter in the chair beside her bed.

"I was just leaving. I just… didn't want to leave Aria alone in here." I lied.

Ella nodded. "Well thanks for checking up on her. That was nice of you."

I gave Ella a smile, before leaving the room.

As I was walking out, I spotted Spencer, Hanna, and Emily, huddled together talking to each other.

"Mr. Fitz!" Spencer called as she motioned for me to come over to her.

I made my way over to where the three girls were sitting.

"What happened? Did she remember anything about you?" Hanna pressed eagerly, dying for information.

"Nothing." I shook my head and let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry." Emily said sympathetically.

I was still trying to comprehend everything that was happening. Of all the people in her life, why was I the one who Aria could not remember? I thought I was one of the most important people in her life, but now, I was nobody. I was just her old English teacher, and never anything more.

"What is it going to take for her to remember me?" I asked no one in particular.

A silence followed my question, for no one knew the answer.

"Kiss her." Spencer suddenly blurted out.

"What?" I asked, looking at her with a confused expression on her face.

"Kiss her!" She repeated again. "Maybe she'll remember your kiss!"

"Yeah," Emily agreed. "I'm sure she would remember you after that. I mean, every person I've ever been with kisses differently, and I can easily distinguish each of his or her kisses. I think this might actually work!"

"Well that's a great plan!" Hanna exclaimed.

Spencer's face lit up with excitement at the approval of Hanna.

"Apart from the fact that Aria thinks that Ezra is only her old English teacher and nothing more! Wouldn't you just get a little creeped out if your old English teacher, that you were just reintroduced to, kissed you?" Hanna asked in an exasperated tone, throwing her hands up in the air to prove her point.

"Yeah, well, I don't see you coming up with a better plan!" Spencer snapped at Hanna.

"No, actually, I like it. It's worth a try, right?" I nodded.

"Of course you approve," Hanna muttered under her breath. "You get to kiss Aria."

"I'm going to go get Mrs. Montgomery out of the room so we can do this." Spencer stood up and headed for Aria's hospital room.

I turned to Emily. "Do you know how long she's going to have to stay here?"

"No idea. I think a day or two but I'm not sure." Emily shrugged.

Hanna's phone chimed with a new text a moment later.

"Ella's gone, let's go." Hanna said, gesturing to her phone.

We quickly all walked over to Aria's room. As we all entered the small room, Aria turned in the bed so that she could face us all.

"Can I ask you girls something?" Aria asked quietly.

"Of course," All three girls replied in unison.

"Do you promise to be honest with me?"

"Y-" Hanna began, but Spencer cut her off.

"Aria, I know that it's annoying having so many things that you can't remember, but us telling you a ton of information about the things that you've forgotten isn't going to make anything better. You'll just end up straining yourself to remember those things, but I don't think it will help. You need to remember your past on your own. The memories will come back to you when the time is right." Spencer assured Aria.

"What about you?" Aria asked abruptly, looking at me.

"Aria he's not just your old English teacher." Spencer informed Aria.

I held my breath. Now was not the time to tell Aria about her relationship with me. I knew it would just cause unnecessary pain and angst for Aria, since she only knew me as he old English teacher at this point.

"Spencer," I sighed painfully. "Don't." I took a deep breath. "She'll remember in time."

"Remember what?" Aria exclaimed. "Why can't you just tell me why you're here?"

"Aria, because we need you to remember him on your own! We're not going to overwhelm you with information!" Spencer fired back. "But we need you to trust him, Aria. He's more important to you than you think." Spencer said to Aria.

Aria laid back in her bed, slouching against the pillows in defeat.

"Then can you tell me this?" She asked softly.

"What?" Emily asked, sitting down beside Aria on her bed.

"Where's Ali?" Aria looked up at Emily, and gazed into her eyes, begging Emily to tell her the truth.

"Now's not the time to hear about that either." Emily said quietly. "We'll tell you when you go back home."

Aria nodded in response as she closed her eyes.

I knew that it was now or never. Spencer, Hanna, and Emily, all had their eyes on me, as I walked closer to Aria's bed. Her eyes remained closed as I got closer and closer to her.

I leaned down and softly pressed my lips against hers. I pulled away a moment later, to find that Aria's eyes were still closed. I watched her face as she slowly opened her eyes and brought her fingers up to her mouth and ran them slowly across her lips.

To my surprise, she did not attack me right then and there. Even though her old English teacher had just kissed her, she remained calm as she dropped her fingers from her lips.

"That's not right." She mumbled quietly to herself. "That's not the kiss I remember."

"What the hell?" Hanna exclaimed in a loud whisper.

My mouth was slightly agape as I watched Aria in disbelief. Did that really just happen? I kissed Aria, yet she still did not remember me! What was it going to take? I was scared to flood her with information about the truth about her relationship with me, in fear that she will get scared of everything that has happened between us, and run away. I knew that that would be the end of us.

All of a sudden, I felt Hanna grab my arm as she followed Spencer and Emily out the door, dragging me along behind them.

Once we were out of Aria's room, they all exploded into speech.

"What the hell was that?" Hanna exclaimed again, looking back and forth between Spencer, Emily, and I.

"I can't believe it didn't work!" Spencer crossed her arms across her chest; clearly angry that her plan did not work out the way she wanted it to.

"So whose kiss is she remembering then?" Emily asked us all.

"Well, how many other guys has she kissed?" Spencer asked.

"She kissed Noel-" Emily began, before Hanna interrupted her.

"Ew." Hanna muttered under her breath.

"Do you really think it's Noel's kiss she's remembering? She never really even liked the boy. She really only dated him to make Ezra jealous." Spencer said.

"Who else though?" Hanna asked.

I wracked my brain for an answer to that question. I suddenly let out a loud gasp, as I realized who it was. Whose kiss it was that Aria was remembering. Who she was remembering instead of me.

"Jason." I said in barely a whisper, as my mind slowly comprehended exactly what it was that I was saying.
