Yay! I got a couple more reviews! Thanks so much! I'm thinking of making an Ezria story also, and I'll still be updating this too. Would you guys read it? Anyway, one of the reviews suggested that I write when there's a thunderstorm, and Aria goes to Ezra's apartment; so why not? Hope you enjoy! Don't forget to review and give me more of your ideas! xoxo

General POV:

It was a Friday night in Rosewood, Pennsylvania. There had been reports of a big thunderstorm heading the town's way. Everyone has closed all their windows, and had cancelled their plans to go out.

Aria POV:

"Ugh!" I groaned as I switched the television off in my room. "I hate thunderstorms!" I hated rain, period, so when there was also lightning and thunder involved, I was like a cat, jumping at the slightest noise. I always kept the lights on in my bedroom whenever it rained, so I wouldn't get scared, but it never really helped. And probably the worst part about it was that I was the only one in the house. My parents and Mike decided to go to my aunt's house at the last minute before the stupid news reporter said that nobody should leave their houses. I decided to pull out my phone.

I scrolled though my contact list until I found who I was looking for: The one and only Ezra Fitz. My fingers began to dance across the keyboard.

Did you see the news? –Aria

I got a reply a few moments after I sent my text.

I didn't have to. Have you seen the disaster outside? –E.F

I smiled, and replied.

Okay, smarty pants! And yes, I have actually. Did you know that I hate thunderstorms? -Aria

After a couple of minutes, I heard my message alert tone.

Well, now I know. Are you scared…? –E.F

'Where is this heading?' I thought to myself. I went, typing away again.

I'm deathly afraid. And guess what, my parents aren't even here; I'm the only one in the house. -Aria

I had just remembered that I was the only person in the house… or am I? I instantly jumped out of bed, shut off my lights, ran back, jumped into bed, and pulled the covers over my head, bringing my ohone with me. I heard my phone go off again.

Really? Would it help if you had somebody with you? –E.F

He always cared about me, it didn't matter how big or small the problem was. I loved that about him.

I messaged him again.

I have a certain somebody in mind -Aria

He texted me back almost immediately.

Wanna come over?-E.F

I grinned excitedly.

Do I even need to say the word? -Aria

See you soon. –E.F

At this moment I didn't care that I had to climb out my window and run to my car in the pouring rain. I wanted to get to Ezra's. If he doesn't make me feel safe, then I don't know what will. I grabbed my coat and phone, and climbed out my window, making sure I locked it. I sprinted to my car, getting in and hurrying to his apartment. When I got there, I knocked on his door softly.

Ezra opened his door welcoming me with a hug. I loved his hugs, they made me feel warm inside, and when he embraces me, I just feel like I'm in the right place. I felt safe already. "Oh man, Aria, you're soaked!" he exclaimed. He took off my coat, and put it on the arm of his couch.

"Yeah, I am a little cold…" I admitted, as I rubbed my arms and sat down on the chair.

He hurried over to his dresser and pulled out an extra- large sweatshirt and handed it to me. "Thanks," I beamed. "I'll go change."

I went to change, and then came back coming over to him to kiss him. He brought be over to the couch and sat me on his lap. "Thank you for inviting me over, Ezra," I drew.

"It's my job," he confessed. "I'll be your protector, always, whenever you need me," he explained.

I heard a loud crack of thunder and jumped. "Here, let's try to go to sleep, shall we?" he asked. He picked me up bridal- style and strolled over to the bed. "I can sleep on the couch if you'd like," he suggested.

"No, I want you with me. It helps me fall asleep when I'm in your arms," I confessed.

Ezra chuckled and grinned. "Whatever you want, sweetie."

He lay down on the bed beside me, and I got up and straddled his waist. I kissed him and ran my hand down his neck and his chest. He flipped us over and then he pulled me over to the side. He ran his hands through my hair, as I intertwined my legs with his. "Now close your eyes…" he said soothingly. "I'm right here," he continued. I tried to close my eyes, and right when I was about to fall asleep, I heard the rain get louder as it pounded against the pavement outside. And I saw flashes of thunder appear through the blinds.

I thought it would go away, but it just got worst. After a few minutes, Ezra spoke up. "I bet you're still awake, " he claimed.

"I can't, with all the noise," I responded. I got up from the bed. "Can we do something? Maybe if we watch TV or something, I'll go to sleep."

"Is it gonna take me all night to try to get you to sleep?" Ezra asked, laughing.

I giggled. "Don't worry, it'll be a short mission. I almost fell sleep in the bed, but then the storm got worse."

Ezra got up and went to the couch. He flipped on the news, and gestured for me to come over. I skipped over to the couch. We saw a news person standing in the disaster outside from a few towns away from her, reporting:

"It looks like this storm isn't going to let down, as you can see. For now, all of you are just going to have to stay put, nobody Is going to go anywhere," he concluded.

"Well, it looks like I'll have to stay here for at least one more night," I sighed. I was happy to say that, staying at his apartment was always fun.

"My wish came true," Ezra whispered. I sat up, facing him, in amazement.

"You hoped that I would stay one more night?" I asked.

"Of course! I always wish that every time you come over. I love having you here; and this time my wish came true," he claimed. He kissed me and he got up to make us hot chocolate. It was one of three things he actually knew how to make. He knew that I loved hot chocolate. He knew everything about me, except that I was dealing with A. A hadn't been messing with me for days, and I wasn't going to let it start again tonight. Tonight was perfect, besides all the rain; but I got to spend it with Ezra, and it couldn't get any better than that.

After making us a mug of hot chocolate and sitting down, we just sat there, drinking our hot beverage, and talked. When we finished, I climbed on top of him with my stomach facing the ceiling. I put my head on his shoulder and began to fall asleep as he brought a blanket over us. "I love you Ezra," I exclaimed.

"I love you too, Aria," he said. And with that my eyes drooped and…..

Ezra POV:

"I love you too, Aria," I said. I listened outside; and noticed that the rain wasn't crazy, but steadier against the ground. The lightning and thunder had stopped for a while. I leaned over and noticed she had finally fallen asleep.

"Mission accomplished," I whispered softly. I rested my chin on top of hers fell asleep as well.

Well? Did you like it! Please review and continue reading! -xoxo Courtney
