Sorry I left a cliff-hanger last week and took so long for it all to make sense but I hope you think it's worth it. I will only be able to update on weekends because I am spending the next 3 weeks in the city with school so I don't have boring classes to write for you guys. I have been sooo busy this week what with hiking all over Sydney CBD and meeting celebs IE. Jason Derulo! Oh and as promised all will make sense! Enjoy! READ AND REVIEW!

Own nothing!

(Ezra PER)

I wrapped my arm around Aria waist and looked up.

There she was sitting in a puddle of her own blood with –A written in blood on her fore head! There was a note sitting beside her with one of her finger being use and a paper wait. I let go of Aria and went to read the note.

She was a horrible person! She didn't except you. She got what she deserved now everyone's life's are better! See Aria always looking out for you!

-A

I couldn't comprehend what I was looking at… my mother sitting in her own blood! How could anyone be this cruel? This gruesome? When I looked back around at Aria she was hysterical. Violently coughing so hard that she threw up. I pulled her into the bathroom and helped her clean herself up. I didn't want to go back out there. I didn't know what to do? Was I meant to call 911 or my family first? When Aria was finish I left her on my couch. I glanced back at my bedroom where my mother's lifeless body lay and it hit me like a tone of bricks! I raced over to the phone and called 911 giving them my details. They said someone would be there very soon. I was walking laps around my apartment while Aria sat on my couch knee's up around her chest crying into them. I wanted so badly to try and comfort her. This was the second dead body she had seen in the last year for god sake! But I new I couldn't because I wouldn't be much help. I just did laps around my apartment with my hands on my head, I needed to tell my father and siblings but what was I meant to say 'yeah mums here in the apartment. No she's not fine actually she's DEAD! Banging on my door pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Police open up!" a man shouted whilst bang. But I couldn't move, I was willing my feet to walk forward but I just couldn't do it. Finally Aria got up and opened the door. She was shaky on her feet.

"Hello?" Aria whimpered as she swung the door open. They pushed right paster her to talk to me.

"Where is she?" the question was directed at me but Aria new I couldn't talk right now and answered for me.

"This way?" Aria showed them thru my apartment along to my bedroom.

"There" she pointed to my mother on the floor.

"We will take it from here Miss Montgomery! Team lets call for back up to get this body to the hospital for an or topsy!"

(Aria PER)

The rest of the cops rushed in while one took out a radio and called for back up. I walked over to Ezra and wrapped my arms around his waist pulling him onto the sofa. Finally he started to respond by pulling onto his lap, burying his head into my hair and crying. Then it was time for me to think.

How could –A do this? I don't even know what –A wanted anymore. Yes I wasn't too fond of Ezra's mother but I was in it for the long run! She would have to warm up to eventually, or I would just have to deal with the fact that she didn't really like me. Ezra was crushed, he never cried in front of me but it was nice to know that our relationship was stable enough that he could. I loved this man and –A had done nothing but cause problems. If I ever find out who did this world war 3 is going to start! Then I had a thought.

"Ezra? Ezra," and he lifted his head to look at me, "you need to go and call your family!" I said wiping his tears away with the ball of my thumb. All he did was nod the cradle me against his chest. He got up and stumbled to the phone.

"Dad is that you?" he whimpered.

…..

"No I'm not fine!" he whispered.

….

"Dad I need you to come there is something I have to tell you but I can't do it over the phone!" slowly he let me down to the ground.

…

"An hour and a half is fine but please just hurry okay?"

…

"See you soon bye dad bring the family… mum is already here." He listened for a little while longer and put the phone on the cradle, immediately pulling me into his arms. Then we were interrupted.

"Mr. Fitz can you please identify the body for us?" the leading officer came up and asked.

"Yes I can! That's my mother Catherine Magdalene Fitz." He said as tears continued to roll down his face.

"Thank you," the officer said sympathetically, " can you please sign this?"

"Yes." Ezra said taking the pen. He signed and then the man spoke again.

"Have you called the family?" he put his hand on Ezra's shoulder.

"Yes they on there way now!" I piped up and said. Then the officer looked at me.

"And you are?" he pointed at me.

"This is Aria Montgomery… my girlfriend!" and at that moment I was happy well only about what Ezra said (I'm his girl friend) I had heard him it but not very often and defiantly not to a police officer.

"Well that's nice. Once your family gets here we have to take you both back to the station for questioning?" we both nodded he shook hands with him, then he walked back to the bedroom.

Once we were taken back to the station and after questioning we went home with Ezra's family because Ezra's apartment was currently a crime scene.

The next day we planned the funeral for Thursday. We had three days to get ready. When we were all sitting in the family room drinking coffee I got a call from Ella. Shit! I didn't tell my mum I would be out all night!

"Aria Rebecca Montgomery were in the world are you?" my mother shouted at me. Why was she so mad I spent many nights away from home? Then it dawned on me… the police had probably talked to her. And told them about Ezra and I.

"Sorry mum..." I whispered not knowing what else to day at this point.

"Aria get home right now and bring… him with you!" then she hung up. I couldn't take Ezra to my home to meet my parents now! When I looked up from my phone I saw Ezra watching me with wide eyes.

"How much did you hear?" I looked down again.

"All of it! Come on lets go and meet your parents shall we?" he got up grabbing my hand.

"Ezra! No! They can wait stay here with your family…" I pulled away from him.

"Well I'm not letting you go on your own!" he tried to pick my hand up again.

"Well who said I was going any where?" I pulled him back onto the couch.

"Aria ignoring this will only make it worse, come on? Plus I would rather all the braking be done at once." He tried to get up again. This time he succeeded pulled down the family's hallway. Then my legs gave out and I broke down on the floor.

"Ezra! Ezra stop please!" I yelled and he turned around. Once he saw me on the ground he was beside me within seconds. I couldn't take it anymore! Enough is enough. Now my parents new about Ezra and I –A had nothing on me!

"Aria? Are you okay?" he pulled my shaking body into his lap.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you! I'm sorry… we don't have to go." He heeled me as I began to cough. When I finally looked up at him I spoke.

"I'm sorry!, and I flung my arms around his neck, "your right lets go!" I said getting of his lap.

The hour car ride to my parent's house was quite giving me time to clear my head… and wonder. Wonder about what my parents where going to do and say and what effect that would have on my relationship not only with Ezra but also with my parents? When we finally made it to my house Ezra and I got out walking up to my house to find Mike.

"Aria I'm not meant to be here so let's make this fast! They are really ticked of! I gotta go… good luck I guess." He said walking away. Ezra took my hand in his and I knocked on the door.

"Aria the door is open! Get into the living room now!" my father bellowed. I took Ezra by the hand into our living room. Within seconds my father and mother had cornered us.

"Collect your things, leave and never come back!" my father shouted as he pushed me toward my… old room.

I grabbed duffle bags full of clothes and thing that meant a lot to me. Before I new it I was in Ezra car again. We ended up parked out the front of Ezra's apartment complex, that's when I started to cry. Ezra pulled me onto his lap as I started to sob.

"Ezra… I… have…no…where…to…go!' I said in between sobs.

"Aria you always have somewhere to go! Never say that! You are going to stay with me!" he pat my back.

"Ezra are you sure that's okay?" I looked up at him.

"I wouldn't want it any other way babe!" and with that he carried me up to his apartment.

PLLPLLPLLPLLPLLPLLPLL

The next three days went by fast. All of my things had made it up to Ezra's apartment and I also managed to dig out a nice black dress to wear to his mother funeral today. As Ezra greeted friends and family into the church I kept a tight grip on his hand.

(Ezra POV)

After the funeral we went to berry my mother. I had cried pretty much the whole ceremony and so had Aria. When the priest was reading from the bible I felt my phone buzz in my back pocket so I just let it go to message bank. When it was all over and I had said goodbye to everyone I took Aria home. After we had both eaten we were sitting on the couch in silence. So I took the chance to check my phone.

1 new voice mail from: Rosewood Police.

When I called back they told me to come to Rosewood station immediately. Aria and I arrived there hand in hand. We were taken straight to the police officer that was head of my mothers murder case.

"I'm very sorry to bring you down here today but lets cut right to the chase… the DNA from the victim doesn't match the DNA of you mothers!" he blurted out.

Okay there it is and I give you permission to curse my name and call me evil because there is another cliff hanger. Do all the text messages from the previous chapter make sense now? So I was not really happy with this chapter at all! It should have been a really touching and sad chapter but I don't think that came out mostly because I was in a hurry and I'm really tired. Anyway tell me what you like and what you didn't and if yall think it was awful I would be happy to re-write this chapter a lot better. But that's it for now until like next weekend! Review please!
