Okay. So I am highly aware that I have not updated in FOREVER! I lost my notebook I was writing my story in and I finally found it and started to work on it again. School is starting up again soon so I don't know how often I can update, but I'm trying to make it apart of my weekly schedule to update. Let me know if I should update like a certain day every week. K, Thanks. Enjoy! xoxo~ Kelsie :)
Aria's eyes fluttered open. A bright light flooded into her mind and hilighted her dark brown eyes. She rubbed her eyes to clear up the blurs around her. Standing around her was Ezra, Spencer, Toby, Hanna, Caleb, Emily, and her parents.
"Aria?" Spencer murmured.
"W-where am I?" Aria asked.
"You're in the hospital," Hanna said.
"You hit your head on a door," Toby said.
"Outside of my apartment building," Ezra whispered, staring at his shoes.
"You cracked your skull and got a concussion," Emily sniffled.
"Do you remember anything?" Ella asked.
"Um, not really," Aria said. "I remember dropping my stuff...and something pushed me."
"Something or someone?" Spencer questioned.
"I-I can't remember," Aria was upset. She hated that she couldn't remember.
"Aria," her father Byron sputtered. "We know about you and Mr. Fitz.
Aria looked at Ezra. He smirked. Then she looked at her parents.
"You know this is wrong, correct?" Ella asked.
"Yes, yes ma'am," Aria felt ashamed.
"But we know how much you love each other, and we are okay with you two getting married," Byron smiled.
A sigh of relief escaped from Aria's lungs. "Oh, thank you, thank you!" Aria tried to jump out of her hospital bed to hug her parents, but the various tubes and cords attached to her arms and head held her back. She fell back on the bed with a thud.The visitors surrounded Aria to make sure she was alright. She beckoned Ezra towards her.
"I love you," Aria whispered.
"I love you too," Ezra smiled.
Everyone smiled and a few "awwww"'s escaped the crowd.
A woman in a long white lab coat,ith fire red hair in a bun on the crown of her head,walked in the room.
"Oh, good you're awake! Hi Aria, I'm Dr. Williams," the woman said,marking things off on her clipboard.
"When can she leave?" Ella begged.
"Well...we're gonna do a few more tests, and I'm going to bring in a friend of mine who relieves people of temporary amnesia," Dr. Williams assured the visitors.
"Oh, thank God!" Ezra let out a sigh of relief.
"For now, if you don't mind, I'd like Aria to be alone. Aria, lunch is on the way, would you like anything else?" Dr. Williams asked.
"I'd like my fiance to stay with me," Aria explained.
"Alright, I don't see a problem with that," Dr. Williams left, along with everyone else except Ezra.
"I wish I could've been there for you, I could've stopped this," Ezra apologized.
"Stop beating yourself up, it's not your fault. We don't even know what happened," Aria smirked.
A nurse brought Aria her lunch and Ezra got a few snacks from the vending machine in the hall. They ate lunch together and Dr. Williams came back.
"Mr. Fitz, you can wait outside, we are going to do a few tests and try to bring her memory back," Dr. Williams explained.
Ezra kissed Aria's hand and got up and left.
"Aria, this is Dr. Ramos," Dr. Williams gestured to a short, pudgy woman wearing a navy blue pin striped suit with her frizzy black hair pushed behind her ears. "She is going to help bring your memory back and find out what happened to you."
"Hello Aria, I'm just going to ask you a few questions while conducting physical and emotional tests to find out how this happened," Dr. Ramos smiled, revealing an unbelievably white smile with the upper left canine tooth missing.
Dr. Ramos asked Aria a series of questions while Dr. Williams assisted her by playing recorded sounds and changing the amount of light in the room, trying to mimic the possible details around Aria that she might not have noticed.
Finally, Dr. Williams played a recording of a creaky rocking chair. She adjusted the lights, so they imitated the sun and casted a large shadow over Aria's body.
Dr. Ramos asked the question, "Is there anyone who might have wanted to seek revenge on you for any reason?"
Aria felt like her eyes were being swallowed by her brain. The whole scene flashed before her.
The rocking chair, Meredith staring blankly at the street, the luggage dropped on the floor, and- CLUNK! CRAAAAACK!-Aria's head hitting the door.
Aria stared at the door, then glanced at the doctors.
"Is my dad here? Can he come in?" Aria asked.
The doctors looked at each other, shrugged, then left. A few moments later, Byron Montgomery entered the room.
