ALL THE REVIEWS. I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE THEM ALL, I LOVE YOU ALL. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I'VE GOTTEN AND I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU!

SO THIS IS THE NEXT CHAPTER. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT, PLEASE REVIEW. EVEN THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE JUST READING, I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

Ezra's POV:

I watched for the last two days as Kasey sat there next to Aria, just holding her hand and wishing that she would wake up. I knew this because I've been right there with her; wishing the same thing.

Although we haven't spoken more than a few words, Kasey was breaking deep inside. I never heard the full story of what had happen between the two. But this accident wasn't her fault; Kasey wasn't the one driving the drunken car.

"She's going to be okay." I mumbled, "Your mother is strong; she'll survive this. I promise."

I heard her sigh and sniffle back a few tears, "You don't know that. For all we know my mother could go at any second and all I'm going to remember is-"She stopped and shook her head, "How bad I treated her."

"What are you talking about?" I asked innocently.

"Mr. Fitz, please don't try and be my friend." She scoffed, "I don't believe any of you."

"Why? I have done nothing wrong and neither did your mother." I retorted. "Why can't you at least give me a chance?"

Kasey stood up and looked me in the eyes, "My mother is in a hospital and all you can think about is getting to know me?" she fired at me and all I could think about was; she was right. "If you really loved my mother why didn't you fight harder? One of them would have cracked." And with that she walked out of the room.

I sucked in a deep breath and sat down in the chair Kasey was occupying, she was wrong I did fight. I tried so hard to get the whereabouts about where Aria had gone. It's just that no one would tell me; what else was I supposed to do?

"Hey Aria," I graced her bruised cheek, "I'm so sorry for all of this. I need you to come back to us." I sighed as I felt a few tears roll down my cheek, "I don't know what I'm doing; Kasey is mad at the world right now and-"I stopped myself as I heard Wren walk in.

"How is she?"

I shrugged, "Nothing." I choked out, "You tell me?"

Wren smiled, "Aria's vitals' are normal. It's only been a couple of days, just give it time." Wren said trying to give me hope, "We are all ruing for her."

I nodded and looked down at Aria, "I just wish she would tell me how to handle Kasey."

"Ezra," Wren took a step forward, "I don't know much about what happen between Kasey and Aria, but I do know that their much alike then anything."

I smiled, "I know, it's like two brains put into one." I answered him, "I know Kasey is putting up a front; I just wish I knew how to knock it down."

"Just be there for her. I know Kasey will come around, if she likes you as her teacher then she'll like you as a friend." Wren patted my back, "Just be there for her. Even if she pushes you away."

"Thanks,"

Kasey's POV:

I sat in the waiting room crying my eyes out. I thought about what Mr. Fitz wanted and I thought about what I would do if I would never get to see my mother again. Just the thought of her lying there life-less; sent more chills down my skin then anything.

I wiped my face and lay down on the couch in the waiting room; I haven't had much to eat or drink in the last two days and it was finally taking its toll on me. Plus lack of sleep doesn't help; I just wish that my mother would wake up and I could tell her how sorry I was for telling her off.

"Ms. Hobbs," I heard my name and shook my head

"Yes," I answered and opened my eyes, "Officer"

He smiled, "I'm Officer Barry."

I nodded and sat up, "I remember you. What can I do for you?" I wiped my face again.

"We caught the person that had hit your mother. I just thought you'd want to know."

"Who was it?"

He shook his head, "I think that's not a piece of information for you to know right now." He smiled curtly, "But we're taking care of it."

"Who was it?" I yelled, "Tell me who is responsible for this?" I demanded, "Tell me?"

Barry sighed, "I can't tell you right now. I'm sorry."

I scoffed and looked over his shoulder as Mr. Fitz and Dr. Kingston came running toward me.

"What's going on here?" Mr. Fitz asked, "Are you alright?" He was full of concern and I knew he was trying. But the stubborn part of me, the part that told me her never fought for us was pushing him away.

"It doesn't concern you. Why don't you just leave?" I bit out, "All of you, just leave us alone."

"Kasey, I am only trying to help. You don't have to bite my head off for everything that I am trying to do here." Mr. Fitz snapped, "We are all hurting, but you're hurting yourself more by keeping everything bottled up."

I sucked in a few breaths, "Why didn't you fight? Why didn't you want me?" I cried and fell back into the chair, "I wish my father was here."

Ezra's POV:

Hearing Kasey say those words; felt as if a dagger was sent through my heart. I hardly knew Kasey but I felt as if I was a bigger part of her life then the both of us really knew.

I opened my mouth to say something but Officer Barry started to speak.

"I need to speak with you." He nodded away from the group.

I nodded and followed him to the other end of the hall. "What can I do for you?"

He sucked in a breath, "We have a Tasha Reed down at the station."

I knitted my eyebrows at him, "Why?"

He pressed his lips together and looked over at Kasey, then turning his back on her. "Because she was the one that hit Aria. We had caught her yesterday trying to get treatments for her injuries."

I let out a breath then licked my lips, "Are you sure?"

He nodded, "She confessed the whole thing."

"And that's why Kasey was yelling at you?"

He nodded again, "Ms. Reed has you on her emergency contact list. It's up to you what you want to do about it."

"What do you think I should do?"

"I'm not at liberty to say." He looked back at Kasey, "But I've known the Montgomery family for a long time. I would just follow my heart and leave her there until she makes bail."

I chuckled a little, "Tasha comes from money. It's only a matter of time before she makes bail, believe me."

"I'm well aware of that." He looked back at me, "But that's just what I would do. Plus it's the weekend, she can't make bail till Monday."

"Thank you Barry." I said shaking his hand. "But I will be there as soon as I can get someone to watch Kasey for a little bit."

"Alright."

A few hours later I had gotten a hold of Spencer. Who had told me that she called Ella and told her what had happened to Aria. And that Ella would be here as soon as possible.

I had finally gotten the courage to look Tasha in the eyes. I've been sitting in the waiting room at the police station; just stalling time and thinking if I should really just walk in there and bail out Tasha or call her family. But the worse got into me.

I stood up, checked myself in and waited to be taken back to the holding cell.

"How could you?" I blurted out pissed and full of rage.

Tasha looked up from her place she was sitting at, "Ezra," She whispered my name, "I'm so sorry!"

I shook my head, "Aria, she didn't deserve this. You did something unforgiveable. What were you even thinking? Getting behind the wheel!"

"I'm sorry, I know I did wrong and I'm here. I admitted that," She shook her head, "I don't know what happen."

I shook my head and looked at her form. She seemed genuine, pure heartbreak.

"Is this because of me?"

She shrugged, "Part of it. Ezra, I love you so much. I know you love me too and-"She sucked in a deep breath getting off the bench, "I just wanted you to look at me with pure love and lust. Why couldn't you do that? What did I do wrong that you wouldn't ask me to marry you?"

"Tasha, I loved Aria for as long as I can remember. When you and I touch, I do. I feel the love between us, but you were never her. I know it's my fault, I know that I put you in a bad place and I'm sorry for that. But you getting behind a wheel while intoxicated, that's stupid. I don't know if I can forgive you for that."

"When I found out it was Aria that I had hit. The first thought that came into my mind was that you were never going to forgive me for my stupidity." She cried, "I'm so sorry and all I ever wanted was for you to be happy."

I looked at her once more before turning on my heel. I was just about to walk out the door when Tasha called me back.

"How is she?"

"That's none of your concern."

Kasey's POV:

It's been four hours and yet I am still sitting down in the waiting room wondering where Mr. Fitz went. He was supposed to be my ride home and he just disappeared.

I sighed for what felt like the millionth time. I hated hospitals. Ever since my so called father had died in it; I've never had the heart to set back into it. Not even when my grandfather was rushed to one for having a minor stroke. Or when my grandmother was rushed to one for breaking her leg.

"Kasey." I heard my name in a soft whisper, "What are you still doing here? It's really late."

I looked up from my spot and saw Spencer, "I would love to go, but it seems as if my ride had left me here."

Spencer looked at me confused, "Ezra didn't come back yet?"

I shrugged, "Do you see him around here? Maybe he finally got the picture that I don't want him here."

"Why are you doing this? Your mother would be so ashamed." She scolded, "I know for a fact that Aria had raised you with more class then that. It's about time you live up to what's going on and face reality. Ezra Fitz is your biological father, show some respect for that."

I stood up from my spot upset and a little taken back, "Don't tell me who I should respect. You don't even know who the hell I am."

"But I do." I turned my head to see Mr. Fitz looking at the altercation Spencer and I were having. "Your just like your mother. Stubborn and full of talent, you don't let anyone stand in your way and you won't tolerant anything or anyone."

"Really?"

He nodded, "Yes, and I want nothing more right now, other to be your friend. I want you to get to know me, who I am."

"And who are you?"

"Ezra Fitz- Your friend/teacher." He joked and I let out a light laugh.

"Well, I need to be getting back to my shift." Spencer spoke and walked off.

"Kasey, I know you don't like me right now and I'm okay with that. But don't be like Aria and shut me out. please, all I'm asking for is a chance." He pleaded with those same puppy dog face that I make to my mother when I wanted something.

"Fine, you got your chance." I gave up.

"Thank you!"
