I was silent for a while. This question was what kept me up all night. I was afraid to ask, but I had to. After what seemed forever, I finally asked
"Have you guys heard anything about Ezra?" I asked with fear in my voice
My friends all looked at each other and then Spencer finally started speaking.
"Well…
Aria's P.O.V
"Well what Spencer!?" I asked anxiously
" The day after you left, well actually for some time after you left, Ezra would call us and your parents 24/7 to see if we knew anything about you. At the time we didn't so he would always be disappointed with our answers. It was like this for about a month, and then one day we just didn't see him again" Spencer explained
"What happened to him?" I asked with teary eyes "what happened?"
At the moment, all sorts of thoughts ran through my head. Is he married? Where is he? And then I thought about the worse, is he dead? I could feel my heart racing. Aria, calm down I told myself.
"Aria, it's ok calm down" Hanna said
"You see Aria, later on we found out that he left Rosewood, we never find out where, and never heard of him again" Spencer added
There was an awkward silence between all of us.
"Ok, I need a bathroom break" I turn my head to Hanna "can you please watch her?" I ask
"Of course. Actually if it's ok with you can I take her next door and get her a treat? "
"Yeah, yeah its fine" I said and ran to the bathroom
I went into the bathroom and just sat there. I sat there thinking of Ezra, my Ezra. I could feel the tears coming down. No matter how hard I tried to make them stop, I couldn't. I sat there in silence, and kept hearing all that Spencer had just told me. Had I made the right choice 2 years ago? I didn't even know anymore. All I knew was that I missed Ezra with all my heart. About 5 minutes later Emily came in to check on me. After telling her I was fine we went back to our table and continued catching up.
Ezra's P.O.V
I had just arrived to my old apartment. After spending almost 2 years in New York with my mom, I decided to come back to Rosewood. I had just been offered a job at Hollis again. After thinking it through, I decided it was time to go back. Now that I'm back, Rosewood brings back a lot of memories, good ones and bad ones. Rosewood reminds me of her. Over the past 2 years I tried everything to forget about her, but it was useless, nothing could erase Aria from my heart, even though that's what I wanted more than anything. Being back at Rosewood will only make this worse. I know she's not here anymore, but she will be for me. I get settled in, take a quick shower and then decide I will go out for lunch. I think about where to go, and decide I will go eat at the Grille. I go to a table and order my food. I sit there looking through my phone to kill time. My food comes and I eat slowly, not wanting to leave. After I finish I order a cappuccino and stay a little while and think.
Aria's
I was still talking with Spencer and Emily, Hanna was still with Sophie. We were talking but then something caught my eye all of sudden. When the man turned, our eyes locked. My immediate reaction was to text Hanna to not come back into the Grille. I didn't want him seeing Sophie. Standing in the middle of the restaurant was the love of my life Ezra, we looked at each other for about a minute and then I ran out of the Grille. I kept running, I felt the tears coming again. As I was running I ran into Hanna.
"Aria, what's wrong?" she asked
"I will call u later" I said in between sobs and took Sophie from her.
The whole ride home, I couldn't help but cry. Once I got home, I went up to my room. Thank god Sophie was asleep so she won't have to see all the pain I'm feeling. After a while I get under the covers next to Sophie, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
