Aria's POV
Finals week is finally over! Ezra and I both ended up getting straight A's. We are now driving to the airport so we can catch our flight. Unfortunately we couldn't get a direct flight from San Francisco to Rosewood so we have a layover in New York City. I'm so excited to be going home, Mike recovered quickly and is out of the hospital. I apologized to the girls for snapping them over the phone, and we can't wait to see each other. The only thing I'm worried about is seeing Noel.
" Are you okay." Ezra asks interrupting my thoughts.
" Yeah, I'm so excited to be going home." I tell him.
" I'm excited to spend more time with you." He says sweetly.
" Same here." I say.
We finally approach the airport. Ezra parks his car and takes both of our suitcases out of the trunk. After we go through security and check in we sit by our gate. After about half an hour of waiting we can finally board the plane.
" Do you want the window seat?" Ezra asks me.
" Sure." I reply.
When the plane begins to take off I get a little but nervous. Ezra notices and grabs my hand.
" Aria, is something bothering you?" He asks me.
" You mean other then the fact that we are about to fly 1000 feet in the air? No." I tease.
" You just seem a little distracted." He replies.
" I guess I'm just nervous about running into Noel. I don't want him to go after us." I explain.
" I'm not afraid of the coward and you shouldn't be either." He assures me.
" Ezra, you really don't know what he is capable of." I tell him.
" What's the worst he can do?" Ezra asks.
" Well for one, he is a murderer. I also think he hit my brother with a car. He did terrible things to my friends and I last year" I explain.
" You and I are going to the police as soon as we get to Rosewood." Ezra say determinedly.
" No we are not! He can get my friends and I into serious trouble." I tell him.
" Like I said before, his crimes are a lot bigger then yours. Besides, you didn't blind Jenna, Alison did. You can't keep living this way Aria. If you don't do something about Noel, he will have power over you for your whole life." Ezra tells me.
" Your right." I say with tears falling down my face.
" Hey, don't worry. I promise everything is going to be okay, I'm not going to let Noel hurt you." Ezra says while he wipes the tears off of my face.
" I love you so much!" I tell him.
" I love you more." He teases.
" I doubt that's possible." I reply.
" You look tired, why don't you get some sleep?" Ezra suggests.
" Good idea." I reply.
Within 10 minutes I am sound asleep dreaming sweetly.
Ezra's POV
After about five hours of flying, we are beginning to land. Aria is sound asleep in my arms, I gently wake her up. I look out the window and see snow covering the city like a white blanket. We finally land and go straight to the gate of our next flight. Before we are about to board a message goes out over the intercom.
" As you all can see we are experiencing a severe snow storm. We have determined that is unsafe to fly out of this airport. All of tonight's flights have been cancelled. Thank you have a nice evening." The women said.
I looked over at Aria's disappointed face. I know how excited she was about going home to see her family, she must be heartbroken.
" I'm so sorry Aria." I say sympathetically.
She smiles weekly and says, " It's okay Ezra, we can get a flight for tomorrow morning. At least I have you."
I can see how disappointed Aria is.
" I'm going to call my mom." She says and steps away.
About 5 minutes later she walks back over to me.
" This might actually be fun. I can take you around New York and we can go to a nice restaurant." I say trying to cheer Aria up.
" San Francisco and New York? You certainly know your way around cities." She teases.
" Yeah well I did live here for 18 years." I remind her.
" Oh that's right, you grew up here. Do you want to go visit your family." She asks sweetly.
" I would rather not." I answer.
" Okay, lead the way." She says grabbing my hand.
We get in a cab and head for the strip.
" I love New York, the lights are so bright." Aria tells me.
" Yeah it's pretty cool." I tell her.
We walk around the strip until we find a place to eat. After we eat, I play the bill and we head out.
" Let's get a room at the Plaza, you will love it." I tell Aria.
" Okay." she replies.
We walk into the lobby and go to the check in counter.
" Can I please get a room with two queen beds?" I ask the women at the front desk politely.
" I'm sorry we only have rooms with King sized beds." She answers.
Well this is awkward. I don't want Aria to feel uncomfortable or feel pressured to do anything.
" We can find another hotel." I tell Aria.
" No, it's okay. We will take a room with one king sized bed." She tells the check in lady.
I grin at her stupidly, while the women hands me the keys.
