Chapter 10:

I woke up before Ezra and left him a note. It said "Going to get coffee. Be back in a few. Love you. xx". I got to The Brew and Jake was there. It was like he was following me. I turned to the guy at the counter.
"Ehm, one dry soy capp, and a regular capp."
I went here so often I didn't even had to say most of the words. The guy took my card and handed it back. Now Jake was walking towards me.
"Hey." he said.
"Hi."
The guy handed me my coffees and I gestured that I had to go.
"Wait, Aria. Look just because we had a fling doesn't mean you have to quit Martial Arts."
"I missed one session yesterday, Jake."
"Yeah which is enough for me to know that means you're done. Once you start something you don't stop unless you quit."
"I quit because I'm moving. With my boyfriend. Whose coffee is burning my hand so if you'll excuse me, I have to go."
I left and didn't look back at him. I got back to Ezra's and shook off the anger. I opened the door and Ezra was walking around freshly out of the shower without anything on. I did a double take to make sure I was seeing correct.
"Welcome home, honey." he laughed and kissed me.
"Okay, I can get used to this."
Now we were both laughing and I handed him his coffee. He took a sip and put it back down.
"I have to get some clothes on."
"So this was just a treat for me?"
"Yep. Show you what to get used to in Ravenswood."
I laughed and drank my coffee. I checked my phone and it was almost 10, my dad left at 11 and I needed to tell him. I kissed Ezra goodbye and drove home.

I got out and fastly walked inside. I shut the door and saw my dad standing there with his hands on hips looking very upset. Suddenly I wished I'd just stayed at Ezra's.
"Moving to Ravenswood? With Ezra Fitz?" he knew.
"Who told you?"
"Your mother thought I knew by now."
"Look I was coming home to tell you."
"I'm not allowing you to move anywhere with that man, especially Ravenswood."
"Well I'm sorry Dad but I'm 18, this isn't really your choice anymore."
"Not my choice? How do you think you're going to get around without my car? How are you going to live?"
"It's a small town and they have cabs and a bus. I already have a promotion waiting on me there with my photography. I'm not asking for your permission Dad, I'm asking you to support me. You and Mom have always let me make my mistakes, why not now? Because he's involved?"
"Yes! Why don't you get it Aria?! He is your teacher!"
"Not for very much longer he won't be! I graduate in a week and he's switching schools. What else do you want us to do?"
"I just don't get it."
"We're in love. That's all there is to get. We've been together for 2 years. This is how relationships progress. I'll just stay at Spencer's or Hanna's till I leave, okay?"
"Yeah, I think that's a good idea. Have your stuff packed and out of here in a week."
"Fine."
I went upstairs and packed most of my clothes. I packed as much as I could in a short amount of time and called Spencer and Hanna. Hanna told me it'd be better at her house since she had a guest bedroom and Spencer's guest bedroom was a disaster right now. So I went to Hanna's.

She hugged me at the door and I got my stuff to the guest bedroom. Hanna called Emily and Spencer and asked them to come over. I told her I needed to call Ezra. She walked out of the bedroom and shut the door. I picked up my phone and dialed Ezra's phone number. I was surprised when it actually rang. I figured my dad had shut my phone off.
"Hey! How did it go?"
"Not so well.. He kicked me out. I'm at Hanna's."
"What?! What happened?"
"He just doesn't understand us. Even when we move away like he wants, he's still mad."
"No, Aria, he's mad that you're moving away. With me. It'll be okay. Do you want to come stay here?"
"I'm already at Hanna's."
"Yeah, but you aren't moving in with Hanna."
I could feel him smiling across the phone which made me smile.
"How about tomorrow?" I said.
"Yes. I'll help you get the rest of your things boxed up, and we'll move. For now though, I believe you have an English test in the morning?"
"Should I lie and say I'm studying for that and not having a sleepover with the girls?"
"Right now, no. In class tomorrow, yes."
"I love you, Ezra."
"I love you too, Aria. See you tomorrow."
I hung up and Hanna came back in with the other girls. She looked like she was trying to be happy so I would be happy.
"So? What are you gonna do?" she asked.
"Tomorrow I'm going to school, taking my finals, and after school Ezra is going to help me box up the rest of my things and we're going to stay at his place till we leave."
"What? You just got here!"
"I know, Han. I'm sorry."
"Don't be. But we're having fun tonight!"
We went downstairs, ordered pizzas, and watched movies only Hanna really liked.
