Ok so I just thought I should let you in on my life at the moment. So after getting home from school I do a quick check of Facebook, do any homework that I have and then come and spend ages writing. I would like to tell everyone who is nice enough to read my story that you make my day with all your nice comments. I would like to say that writing is one of my passions in life and you guys are enjoying what I am doing! A long with singing writing is my life :D

This chapter is dedicated to my Mom because she is amazing, or as Bruno Mars says 'Cos you're amazing, Just the way you are'.

There is a cute bit in this chapter so get your tissues ready! Enjoy and review :D

I wish someone made my mind up for me.

Almost a week had passes since I had agreed to marry Ezra. A lot had happened in a week. I still haven't told Ezra about the text that I received after he started driving me home. I told him it was a text from Hanna saying that he was looking for me. Nothing to worry about.

We decided that we weren't going to get married until I turned 19 in 2 years so in the mean time I wear a ring on my finger to show the world that I loved Ezra and only him. It was a promise ring to show that we would be true to each other that we would never cheat.

I know that I still have cuts on my face where I had been hit but we decided not to mention that night or well at least for a while.

"Aria, I think I should re-apply for a job at Rosewood day now that you're in your last year. Your 17 now and I can tell the school board to only let me teach 1st years," Ezra looked at me with the smile on his face that made my heart melt. His eyes were just so dreamy making me want to be with him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

He continued the kiss down to my neck as I began to talk. "Yes, I would love to see you every day. Although I wouldn't be able to kiss you, I could still see you. With you teaching only 1st years, you wouldn't be my teacher. You are one very smart man Ezra Fitz."

He let out a small chuckle as he picked me up and carried me over to the couch. "Before I apply for anything I think we should decide what we are going to do about Garret."

I thought he said we weren't going to talk about it.

"Ezra, please don't make me tell you what happened in the forest. Can we just be here for a little bit please? I don't want to think about A," I tried to make my voice sound brave but I failed. I sound like a hopeless child talking to her high school English teacher, not a girlfriend talking to her boyfriend.

"Aria, my love, what are you so afraid of?"

I know he was trying his best to comfort me but I know that secretly deep down he was almost as afraid as I was.

"Ezra, I am afraid that he will hurt you as well as everyone else I love. We have no idea what he is capable of. He beat you then sent me a picture of you lying in your own blood," I touched the small cut on his lip that was still visible form where Garret have punched him; "I can't let him hurt you. You're too important to me. I just can't live without you Ezra!"

I promised myself I would think about A, but all I can think of is him beating Ezra up and then hunting down everyone else that I love and who mean the world to me. I saw him hunting down my friends one by one and hurting them, their families. Then my mind fell onto my own family, what if Garret hurt them too?

"Is there anything I can help you with? We could move away from Rosewood if you want. Go somewhere A won't find us and he will get bored and move onto something else. He can't hold anything against you if we let all the secrets out now. He will have no need to tell anyone." He took my hand that was touching his cut and he placed it on this chest right where his heart was.

"Aria Montgomery, I am here by giving you my heart. I love you, I always have, and ever since we first met at that bar I knew you were the one. Sure we have been through some bumps. Sure we have had to dodge anything the world has tried to throw at us, but believe me when I say this Aria but if there is anything that you ever need to tell me just know that I am always here for you." He reached behind couch and picked up a bag and handed it to me. I slowly opened the bag and inside the bag was a smaller bag. A jewellery box was waiting for me. I opened it and it contained a small silver heart necklace incrusted with diamonds.

'Go look inside, it's a locket.' He smiled down at me.

I opened the small locket carefully and inside was a picture of me and him on one side and on the other a note it read;

Aria you have my heart. Forever yours Ezra x

For once in a long time I began to cry tears of joy. He took the locket off me before lifting up my hair and hanging it around my neck. He hugged me in closer before he kissed me deeply. He pulled away and as I felt his soft lips leave mine I knew he was going to say something.

"You have a chose now Aria. You can tell me what Garret did to you and I will make him pay. Or we can pretend like it never happened and move away from Rosewood as a couple. It's your chose I can't make your mind up for you." Ezra face was serious so I took a long hard breath before answering.

Why can't you make my mind up for me? "Fine I will tell you what happened..."

I began to explain my very long story and I could see that he truly cared in what I was telling him.

Once I had finished explaining everything that had happened that night, I told him about the text that Garret had sent me shortly after Ezra put me in his car.

"I know I shouldn't have kept this from you Ezra but I was so scared that if you knew, Garret would come and beat you up again. I just couldn't let him do this to you." I explained quietly.

"Aria, I know you did this to keep me safe and I love you for it. Just know that I wouldn't ever leave you and I want to help you fight A back," He slowly leaned in and started kissing me passionately again.

Well at least we have that over with.
