Byron and Ella, looked among one another. And both shook their heads. "I know this seems, out of the ordinary. But I really am in love with Aria."

"You and my daughter?" Byron question "How could you? I thought you were a descent guy, I thought you were a friend of the family." Byron yelled "But I was wrong, all this time you were in love with my daughter."

"Yes. Aria and I meant before, the school year started. When the family had just returned from Iceland." Ella shot her head up from her hands "We fell in love instantly. I broke it off on so many occasions but, the love among us was stronger then that. And we got back together." I stopped and sucked in a breath.

"You broke off your engagement for Aria?" Ella shuddered.

"Yes I did" I told them

"I'm calling the police. This is wrong on so many levels" Byron exclaimed

I turned to Ella "You read my book. And what did you think?" I said in a rush but clear voice.

"What?" Ella asked me.

"That's my book. I wrote that, when Aria and the girls left for college. You wonder whatever happen to them. Well, I will never know that, if you call the cops on me" I sighed and rubbed the back of my neck "All I am asking for is a chance." I pleaded.

Ella stood up "leave Ezra." Ella spoke sternly "Just leave."

"What?" I shudder "Please Ella" I begged. "Think about the book. How can two people love one another, regarding the situation. But still have feelings for one another after 15 years."

"Where's Aria?" Byron yelled

"She's probably with Jason, by now "I told him with a hint of anger. "But I do not know where they went."

Aria's POV:

Jason and I had just left Pete's when my phone started to ring again. It's like for the last 20 minutes, my father has been calling. And finally I decided to answer.

"Hey dad" I smiled

"Where the hell are you? Do you know how many time's I've called" HE yelled.

My eyes opened wide "Excuse me?"

"Get over here, NOW" Byron yelled and hanged up. It's a good thing, I was around the corner.

Once I got to the house, I parked and went right in. My parents were in the living room yelling at one another, and Taylor was no where in sight.

"What's going on?"

"You and Fitz huh?" My dad yelled. "Haven't you learned anything from my mistake?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked so lost at the moment.

"Aria" My mom looked me in the eyes. "Ezra came by" At those words I closed my eyes "He came to tell us the truth. Something you could not do"

"MOM" I interjected "It's not like that. Ezra and I had a thing when I was in high school. But it was over before it started." I lied.

"Yeah, right" My dad scoffed "I read his book, to you know"

I looked at them confused "What book?"

"This one." My mom handed me a book by Eddie Baker. "He said he wrote that, after you left for college."

I looked at the leather book in my hand, and ran my fingers over the letters. "Once in a Lifetime" I read it out loud.

I could hear my parents calling out my name and yelling at me, but I tuned them out as I read the description. "To my lost love" I smiled "You never know what joy and happiness you had given me. As I write this I think about the first time we have met. The first kiss, the first hug. And the never ending conversations." I giggled"You told me once that, love is only a matter of the heart. And that we should always, take everything for what it's wroth. I am doing that in my writing, hoping one day you will get to read it. I will always love you, know matter where you are. Or what you are doing. I hope to find you one day, and make you mine's... forever and always. B-26"

I looked up at my parents, as tears ran down my cheek "Ezra wrote this?"

"Yeah. He is Eddie Baker" Byron looked at me confused "you did not know that?"

I shook my head "No, I didn't." I looked back at the book "Mom, is this yours?"

"Yes. Why?"

"You mind if I borrow it?" I smiled "I really want to talk to Ezra, right now."

"But what about the thing, that happen?" MY mom asked.

"What thing?"

"You and Ezra Junior year?" My father exclaimed.

"Look. I love Ezra, that is the only reason why I did not marry Richard. Now if you want to call the police for something that happen over 15 years ago... go ahead I cannot stop you. NOW if you want to witness something true and longing. Then give Ezra a chance. You both know for a fact, that you love Ezra as a friend and an ex-collogue. Long before you knew the two of us. And if you both read this book, which I am basing off the description it's about the two of us. Then you know, that we are in love. And one way or the other, we'll be together." I smiled after stating the facts, and left. Book in hand.

Ezra's POV:

I drove home, after Byron and Ella yelled at me to leave. I just wanted to make sure they understand that I would never intentionally try to hurt Aria. And that I only ever had her best interest in heart. Once I drove in my drive-way, I noticed Julia was already gone. I walked inside, and realize if Aria doesn't take me back, then I am just this lonely pathetic guy.

Upon walking into my living room. I noticed nothing had changed, so I walked upstairs and into the master bedroom. All of Julia's stuff was gone, and it amazed me on how fast she had gotten her things out of the house.

I changed my clothes, into a pair of jeans, and a long sleeve shirt. Even though it was past three, I needed something to drink. If Byron and Ella, can't see how much I love Aria. Then I believe today, was going to be my last drink. So I walked into the kitchen and grabbing some Ice from the freezer, and the scotch from the cabinet. I walked over to the living room, and turned on the TV nothing but sports and soaps were on. So I decided on some basketball. It's not something I would normally do, but it seemed to help.

I started to think back, and pictured the hurt on Byron and Ella's faces when I told them the book was about Aria and I. Ella's face soften, but Byron looked like he wanted to punch the living shit out of me... A heavy knock, broke me away from the TV, I looked down at the bottle and sighed. Within the hour I have been home. I had drank three fourth of the bottle. I rubbed my face, and made my way to the door, thinking this is the last time I was ever going to see life as it is.

But when I opened the door, it wasn't the police. Or Aria's parents, it was Aria herself "You son of a bitch" Aria exclaimed and pushed me into the house.

"That hurt" I said, rubbing my chest "What are you doing here?"

"How could you go behind my back, and tell my parents?" Aria yelled

"I had to. You won't let me see you" I retorted

"What are you talking about?" Aria knitted her eyebrows. "What the hell is that smell?"

I rolled my eyes, and sat back down on the couch "I'm talking about the fact, that I broke off my engagement for you." I sighed and took what ever was left in the bottle and poured it into my glass. "I spelt my cup, earlier."

Aria nodded "Ezra, it's not the fact that I don't want to get back with you. I just don't want to see the people I love get hurt."

"Well, your doing a very good job at that" I scoffed.

"Agh" Aria threw her hands up in the air "What part don't you get?"

"I get everything. If you don't want to be with me, that's find. I'll just go crawling back to Julia. That's what you want right?"

"You know what?" Aria looked at me up and down. "This side of you, is not who I fell in love with. It's just making me hate you" Aria dugged into her purse. And threw down the book I wrote. Before storming out of the house.

So what did you think? I hope it's good, if not then I'm sorry. Sooo, Please review...
