(Aria's POV)

My body forced me up as I quickly walked over to where Ezra was standing by Mrs. Davis, hoping to catch him before he left. He made eyes contact with me, his eyes getting wider as he noticed I was walking towards him. His pace hastened as I followed after them. Mrs. Davis stopped and so did Ezra as I shouted, "Ezra please." All eyes where focused on me. Shit, what had I just done?

His eyes went wide as he took a step closer to where I was standing, as he forcefully said, "Aria."

My eyes connected with his but he quickly looked down at his shoes, "I-I-I, umm.." The words weren't forming on my lips.

"Ms. Montgomery." Mrs. Davis stepped in front of me, blocking the space that separated Ezra and I. "You cannot address Mr. Fitz by his first name."

Stupidly I replied, "Of course."

"Quite honestly I am not sure what to do with you lately Ms. Montgomery..." She paused, "...But I think myself and Mr. Fitz have come up with a reasonable punishment for your actions last night. Care to elaborate Ezra?" Ezra pushed aside Mrs. Davis and continued where she left off, "Your plane leaves this afternoon."

"My what?" My voice rose with frustration and pain rising throughout my body.

"Aria, your actions were disrespectful to not only the school, but to Mr. Fitz and myself personally. Not to mention the fact that you consumed alcohol during the trip, and accused Mr. Fitz of being your boyfriend. Do you know what could happen to him if people actually believed what you implied?"

"You've got to be kidding me." I whispered.

"This is not a joking matter Aria."

Ezra remained silent next to Mrs. Davis, never looking in my direction. "Would you like to say something Ezra?" I asked him sarcastically.

Mrs. Davis took in a sharp breath, saying, "You cannot address him like that."

"Oh you see, I can. And do you want to know why I can, because he is my boyfriend. My boyfriend. Did you happen to hear that last word, boyfriend." My voice rose and tears began to form, but no one stopped me, "He's my boyfriend, but I guess he doesn't realize that too much, because who's defending me right now? No one, no one is. But you know what, you probably just think I'm crazy, but it's the truth." I took one last look at them, Ezra was still looking down, to stunned at my rant to say anything, turning away, "I'm going to pack now. Because I'm being sent home, by my boyfriend."

"ARIA! I will be telling the principal about this as soon as we get back to Rosewood." Mrs. Davis yelled after me.

"Go for it." I simply replied, never once looking back.

My bags sat on my bed, completely packed. Hannah was sitting next to me sadly, "I cannot believe they are sending you home."

"Whatever." I nonchalantly replied.

Spencer sat down behind me, "I'm so sorry babe."

"He didn't even say anything." I quietly told them.

"He couldn't Aria."

"Yes he could. He told me he loved me, that he didn't care... he didn't care what people thought."

"But he could get in so much trouble."

There was a soft knock on the connecting door right by the bed. The girls motioned for me to get it. Slowly standing up I pulled open the door. A distressed Ezra met my gaze as he came into view. Not saying a word I pushed past him, closing the door behind us. Sitting down on the bed I remained quiet as he stood in front of me, hands in the pockets of his shorts.

"Aria." I didn't say anything, I didn't want to say anything. "I just..."

"You just what Ezra? You want me to go home, you want me to just leave."

"No Aria."

"Well it sure as hell seems that way."

"I just don't understand what the fuck came over you. You know how much trouble I can get in."

"You looked at me like you hated me Ezra, you didn't defend me once when she was sending me home, or making comments."

"I couldn't Aria."

"If you wanted to you could."

"We can't do this."

"Oh can't be boyfriend and girlfriend Ezra?"

"That's not what I said."

The tears started to flow and I threw my head back on the bed in frustration. Ezra fell down on top of my, cupping his hands around my face. His thumb gently caressed my face, wiping away the tears below my eyes, "I love you Aria."

"Don't make me go home."

"I don't have a choice babe." His voice was sweet, yet stern and his lips met mine. I pulled away, "Please." "If you stay here, it proves to her we are going out, that we are real."

"Who gives damn what she thinks." I softly said.

"Everyone Aria." I ran my hand throughout his hair, feeling the softness. "It's not fair."

"I know it's not babe, believe me I know."

"Will you drive me to the airport atleast?" He nodded, smiling slightly, "I wish I could go with you."

"Maybe you can." His face pulled away from mine.
