Monday morning rolled around. And I still haven't talked to Ezra, Spencer has been the one that Dropped off the kids and picked them up from his place. Matthew called last night asking for a word with me this morning. And I'm only guessing it has something to do with Friday night, at that stupid dinner.
I had gotten ready, and dropped the kids off at School. Amber and EJ are really upset with me right now, they told me that I was the one breaking up the family. And I never gave it a chance, But it's not like I'm taking their father away from them. They'll get to see him, it's just we have to work out a schedule.
I parked my car, and walked into campus. I really didn't know what lie's ahead. So I took in a deep breath and knocked on the door of the office. Once I did that, Matthew the schools principle opened it up right away.
"Ms. Montgomery, I'm glad you could make it" He said looking at his watch, so I was a few minutes late.
"Sorry, I had a few things to take care of this morning." I said and he moved aside to let me in.
When I walked in his office, Ezra was already sitting there. Looking just a terrible as me. But I took the chair opposite of him and faced Matthew.
"I don't know what's going on right now..." He started "But I want to talk about what happen on Friday." He looked between Ezra and I. We both stayed silent, as Ezra took a few glances in my direction. "Ezra, Is something going on between you and Aria?" he tilted his head.
"No sir, there isn't." Ezra choked out "Anymore. Aria is the mother of my children, we dated a while back. And" Ezra stopped to look at me, I looked out the glass window and shook my head.
"So you dated a student?" I looked at the principle
"It wasn't like that!" I spat "Ezra and I meant before school started, before we even knew what we were. We fell in love, and yes tried repeatedly to end things. But true love has it's way of finding each other, eventually we gave up fighting. And started secretly seeing each other." I told him "Until the end of my senior year, when Ella and Ezra decided to go to a book signing. And ran into Simone."
"Aria?" Ezra tried to stop me.
"NO Ezra. I'm tired of hiding, of fighting. This is it, I just want everything to come out." I started to cry "Ezra cheated on me, when I was pregnant with Simone."
"I didn't know you were pregnant... She Had known when I left where I was for years. And still kept it a secret, and had my best friend keep it from me as well." Ezra exclaimed.
"Stop" Matthew shook his head "Your free to go Aria, Ezra I want to talk to you..." He motioned for Ezra to sit back down. I grabbed my bag and walked out of there like it was nothing.
Ezra's POV:
"I'm sorry, you had to get in the middle of that" I told him once Aria left
Matthew shook his head "I don't know what to say, You and a student Ezra?"
"I know, and I love her. I can't deny that"
"Then why did you cheat on Aria? You know what's she's been through during Highschool, and to think she accomplished so much." Matthew arched his eyebrow "Look, I'm not mad about the whole student teacher thing. I just don't want what happen on Friday, to happen again. And if Simone working here is a problem, then I suggest the three of you work it out."
I Looked at him shock and a little taken back, by what he said "We can't work it out. Aria doesn't' trust me, and she won't even talk to me. I don't know what to do?"
he took in a deep breath "I wish I could help you, but I just don't know... If there is anything I can do, just let me know."
"Why are you supporting us?" I questioned "I mean, Thank you. But why?"
Matthew chuckled and look toward the door. " My wife, was my student. And I can't deny true love. When Aria spoke, of how the two of you meant. I saw the fire and passion that came with that story." He stopped and looked at his ring "My wife and I have been married for over 30 years, and I wouldn't regret it for one second. Aria is upset, and hurting. You can't blame her for keeping your kids from you. And don't rub it in her face, she needs to know that you support her. In order to get the trust you want back."
I looked at him amazed "Your right" was all I said before sprinting out of the office, and down the hall. I stopped short when I saw Aria talking to Simone, in front of her Class room.
Aria's POV:
I was hurt and confused to why I was the only one allowed to leave the office. But then again, I'm sure Ezra was the one getting into trouble for dating his student. I walked out of the office, and started to walk toward my class room.
There's not many people here, considering it's only 7:15 in the morning. When I got to my classroom, Simone was there.
"What the hell, do you want?" I hissed. "You need to leave me alone, I will not be hold for my actions"
"Aria, why are you so mad at me? I have done nothing wrong" She looked genuine.
"You slept with Ezra, you knew he and I were a couple." I was just about ready to slap her "why did you hurt me like that?"
She closed her eyes and shook her head "I'm sorry. It was in the moment kind of thing. I totally forgot that you and him were a thing." She defended herself
"You were supposed to be my friend, and you just betrayed me like that." My breathing started to get heavy and labored "I can't stand the sight of you, your nothing but a Slut"
And that's when Simone slapped me "Don't you ever call me a Slut, I'm not the one who had kids from the teacher you whore."
I was just about to punch her when, Ezra grabbed me from behind. I looked up and he was furious "You need to leave the school." He told Simone
"I'm not going anywhere. You think I didn't know about you and Aria when we slept together. I did" Simone smirked "And I must say Aria, Ezra is so great in bed. OH MY GOD" She Exclaimed and rolled her eyes, as if she was in pleasure.
I pushed Ezra away, and lunged for Simone. I started to hit her in the face, when Ezra pulled me off of her. Simone was now on the ground with me in Ezra's arm's holding me back "I hate you, I can't stand the sight of you."
"Wow, look at Ms. Montgomery" One of my students said to his group of friends "She is tiny, but she can really pack a punch"
"That's HOT" another student yelled out.
I looked in the now crowded hallway, and back down at Simone. "Aria, get in the class." Ezra told me. "I'll deal with this."
"Like you dealt with it, when it happen?" I asked sarcastically "You two, deserve each other." I hissed before walking down the hall, and started crying. Ezra ran after me, and pulled me to a halt.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ezra yelled at me and pulled me, into the opened classroom. "I go out of my way, to try and make you happy. But you turn around and slap me in the face."
"I don't want to be with you, you see this?" I gestured between us "Is getting us no where. Were always fighting, I don't want the kids to grow up around that." I yelled back and walked away from him.
"What are you two doing in here?" My Mom walked in and I looked around, to notice Ezra pulled us into her classroom.
Ezra and I both full of rage ignored my mom's chipper comment, and settled her things down on the desk. While Ezra and I kept eye contact "Is everything okay?" She finally looked at our faces "What happen now?"
"Aria kicked Simone's ass" Ezra told her "In the middle of the hallway, oh and did your daughter tell you that she broke up with me after 12 hours?" Ezra looked at her.
"Oh yeah! Because I'm going to go running to mommy, when the adults have a fight. Please Ezra, when have you known me to do that?" I scuffed
"Enough" My mom yelled, and looked out the door. The crowd of students stood by the door. So she closed it and walked back over to us "The both of you SIT" When I didn't sit, she slapped me upside my head
"What the he-"
"Watch you tone with me Aria, And sit your ASS down now" Ella looked me in the eyes. So I sat down two seats away from him "for years Aria, I have done nothing but treat you like an adult. And maybe that was wrong on my part" I looked at her confused "I never let you have your teen years, and you went straight from child to adult."
"Where is this going?" I asked not wanting to hear more.
Ella gave me that pissed off look for interrupting her "You grew up knowing exactly what you wanted, and went after it. You wanted Ezra and for the last two years of high school, you and Ezra did all that sneaking around just to be together" She stopped to look at Ezra "Aria is stubborn, and selfish you don't deserve to be with someone like her."
"I don't have to sit, here and be bashed by my own MOTHER" I stood up, and started to walk away. When Ezra grabbed my hand, and forcefully pulled me on his lap. "Let me go"
"NO! I'm jealous of you Aria." Ezra started "your mother is right, you've always known what you wanted to do. And yes even when we were dating, you were always the confident one keeping us together. And now the table has reverse, I'm the one trying desperately hard to stop you from leaving."
"Ezra-" I tried to cut him off. But he covered my mouth
"No, you always get the last word and for once it's my turn." He closed his eyes, and reopened it after a few seconds "If you leave, I'll go with you. I don't want Simone, never did. Not even when Ella tried to hook us up" I giggled and looked at my mom who shrugged "You and I both know, that this constant bickering we do. Is only because we love each other."
"What are you saying?" I asked him, and got off of his lap. But he still had a grasp of my left hand.
"Will you Marry me?" My mother gasped "Aria Grace Montgomery, you are my life. I made the biggest, unforgivable mistake ten years ago. I stand before you today, asking for a new chance. Will you Marry me?"
