Well some of you guys have been asking me to post 2 chapters a day but doesn't the whole point of reading mean you have to wait when something ends of a cliff hanger? At least it shows that you are enjoying my story which is always a bonus when I write.

I would like to dedicate this chapter to my Dad because he reads over my story for mistakes and he helps me if I ever get writers block, which I get quite a lot :D You are the best dad ever!

Please leave a review on what you think of this. The next couple of chapters are juicy :D Enjoy! –Amie xox

The hunt.

He was here; finally someone came to my rescue. He must have got my text and despite looking like hell, come to find me. I know he loved me but I would never want to put his life in danger. I swear if anyone touches him again I will kill them.

Ezra

My heart almost broke into two when I saw her. She was rolled up in a ball lying under a tree. She has cuts on her beautiful face. I tried my hardest not to cry out loud when I saw how much blood she was lying in, someone has hurt the specialist person in my life and now I am going to make them pay for what they did.

I rushed over to her as soon as she lifted up her head and caught my eye contact. I was glad that she wasn't dead but as I sat on the cold, forest floor next to her I realised just how badly she had been hurt. I careful lifted her broken, little body into my arms and cradled her.

"Love, I have been so worried. What happened? Who did this? I will make them pay for what they have done." my voice was hysterical but still gentle; I made sure that I never used my teacher voice when I was with me. I tried to always seem so calm even in the worst of occasions.

Despite the fact that my heart was breaking inside my chest, I put on a brave face as she slowly answered my question.

"I was waiting for you and... Oh Ezra."

Her voice sounded broken and sore, as if she had been screaming. I know that I wasn't doing very much to help her, but I sat her out of my arms and I slowly touched her beat up face, rubbing away some of the blood. I slowly tilting her face up to mine and I brushed my lips over hers. I watched her eyes fill with pain so I stopped kissing her.

"Aria, I can't believe anyone would want to hurt you. You're so beautiful, sensitive and talented." Despite what we have been through in the past year, Aria is the only one I trust, the only true one that I love.

I slowly stood up, despite being in so much pain; I picked up in my arms and carried her to my car.

Aria

I managed to get a quick glance in his car window. Ergh I am such a mess, Mascara running down my cheek mixing with the blood that was already staining my face, my hair looks like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards. Ezra saw me looking in the window. He tilted my head so I could no longer look in the window and gave me a quick kiss. I love it when he kisses me, a bolt of electricity runs through me when I kiss him I have never had this with anyone else. I guess he turned my head away for a reason.

"Aria, you're so beautiful. Even when you have been lying on the hard forest floor and you have been crying. Even when you have been beaten up and are covered in blood" I heard him do a slight gasp as he said this but then he continued "But I am going to promise you something, Whoever did this to you will pay for what they have done. No one will ever be brave enough to touch my baby again!" I have never heard so much anger in Ezra's voice. Has he just got mean?

Ezra had always been such a sweet gentleman, but at first I never thought he would get mean. I love it when he gets protective of me; it shows that he truly cares.

After talking to me he opened his car door and carefully put me in the passenger seat and buckled me in. He smiled at me as I watched him walk around the car and get it. He gave me another quick, soft kiss before starting the car.

Then I remember that I still hadn't replied to what he had just said but before I could my phone exploded to tell me that I has a new text I slowly looked down at it.

When I saw I had one new message my mind started to get angry and I was scared that it was A and I started to moan, I made sure Ezra didn't see that I had got a text, he had already been through so much today. I read the screen of my phone.

One New Message:

Ha-ha, Did your lover boy save the day? Beware of the pictures I have taken, convince him it wasn't me and I'll spare him for a cold hard jail cell bitch. He gets one more chance. So shut up or I'll shut you up. Kisses -A

Holy crap. What does Garret want with me?

I was just about to tell Ezra about my text before I remembered that it would be better to keep this a secret. I hate lying to Ezra, but if this is what it takes to stop him from getting hurt I guess I will have to.

I hope I am doing the right thing by keeping this from him.
