He opened it and...
Hannah saw a beautiful diamond ring in the box.
"Hannah, will you marry me?" Caleb asked.
Hannah put her hands over her mouth.
"Yes!!" she said and then she leaned down and kissed him passionately. Then they all started clapping for he two. Caleb slid the ring on Hannah's finger and she admired its beauty. The girls and guys took turns hugging Hannah and Caleb. "Let's celebrate!" Hannah said raising her hand in the air. As she did, fireworks began to go off above the ocean. "Did you do this?" Hannah asked Caleb.
"I wish, but hey I'll take it!" he said happily kissing her.
The fireworks went off for a minute or so and all the couples stood hugging one another watching them. Finally the finale started, hundred of fireworks went of at one, and then they stopped signaling the fireworks show end. The group began clapping, but then another firework was shot up. It wasn't a normal one. It read:
"Congrats! -A" in bright red.
"Oh my God." Hannah said putting a hand over her mouth.
"How did?" Ally asked Emily. Spencer and Aria just looked frightened at one another.
"That's a weird one, maybe it's for another engaged couple," Caleb said laughing.
Ezra could sense something was up, "Aria was that-?" he began.
"Yes." she said, looking up at him scared.
"Why don't we all go inside and celebrate!" Toby said. And then they all went inside, except for Hannah, Spencer, and Aria who stayed behind.
"What was-" Hannah started.
"A threatened us and told us to stop your engagement or steal the ring." Spencer said quickly.
"Or-" Aria said.
"We get buried." Hannah said. "Oh my gosh, guys I should've said no! Then we wouldn't have had to worry about A!" she said frantic.
"Hannah no. You and Caleb deserve this! You two are in love and happy, A shouldn't manipulate that!" Aria said hugging Hannah.
"Plus, whatever happens, we're in this together." Spencer said wrapping an arm around each friend. Then they walked inside to celebrate together.
They came in and Aria, Spencer and Hannah went to their men. Hannah kissed Caleb passionately.
"I can't believe we're getting married!" Hannah said excited.
"Me either, I can't wait to spend the rest my life with you." Caleb said lovingly, looking into her eyes.
Ezra grabbed Arias hand and squeezed it. They all began to play music, dance, and talk. Ezra grabbed Aria and pulled her into the hallway their bedrooms were in.
"Aria what's going on with A?" Ezra said crossing his arms. Aria was leaned up against the wall.
"Ezra it's nothing I don't want you getting involved.". Aria said looking down.
"Aria Montgomery. I love you and care about your well being, you need to tell me what's going on so I can help and protect you." Ezra said firmly.
"Ezra, A is dangerous, he, she, it, whatever managed to break us up, and I don't know what else is coming at us. I don't want you involved because who knows what A will do if they find out you know too. I don't think your suppose to know about them in the first place." Aria said frustrated.
"Fine, Aria. If you won't tell me, I'm gonna have someone else.". he said storming off into the kitchen. Everyone had settled down by now and was sitting around the kitchen island talking. "Hey guys, so does anyone wanna tell me what death threats you've gotten lately? Cause Aria won't."
"Ezra!" Aria yelled as she ran into the kitchen.
"What?" Caleb and Toby said.
"Who's threatening you?" Caleb asked Hannah.
"Yeah what's going on girls." Toby asked looking from girl to girl.
"Some strange person who calls themselves A is sending us threats." Emily said.
"Em!" Spencer said. "Is it even safe to-"
"You know what Spencer I don't care! We've all been friends since kindergarten, I think we can survive A threats together too." Emily said slamming her hands down on the counter, getting everyone's attention.
"First they sent Ezra a photo from a while ago to break up him and Aria." Ally said.
"And then they said if we didn't stop Hannah and Caleb's engagement," Spencer said.
"They'd burry us." Aria said, everyone's head whipping to look at her.
"What?" Ezra said shocked.
"And A said if I didn't say no, that "we all go" insert death emoji here." Hannah said stressed.
"Okay this is serious." Caleb said.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Toby asked.
"Because we can't risk you guys getting hurt too!" Spencer yelled. "We're sorry guys."
"I understand now." Ezra said, looking at Aria, who gave a weak smile at him.
"So wait, the fireworks?" Caleb asked.
"Courtesy of A, a little sign to show they know we didn't do as he told." Spencer said sarcastically.
"He? Who even is this?" Caleb asked.
"He she it, we don't know! All we know A is gonna punish us for not doing what they said." Hannah yelled.
"Okay everyone calm down," Ezra said.
"None of you girls are leaving our sights for the next few days." Toby said pointing his finger at the girls. Spencer laughed.
"I won't mind," she said winking at Toby, and he kissed her cheek.
"But seriously, you guys need to be careful. But we're here to help and protect you." Ezra said, wrapping his arm around Aria. She always felt safe with Ezra.
"Why don't we all just go to bed, and re group in the morning, K?" Caleb said.
"Okay" they all agreed. They said their final congratulations to Hannah and Caleb, and then they each headed to their rooms.
Aria walked into her room and started to find some pajamas to change into, but the she felt Ezra come up behind her and her pulled her hair back. He began to kiss up and down her neck. "Ezra," Aria said giggling.
"Aria...?" Ezra said in between kisses.
"You know," she said turning around to face him. "I should be mad at you right now." She said crossing her arms playfully.
"I know, but you aren't. Cause you know I love you and want to protect you." Ezra said stoking her arms.
"Yeah yeah." she said and then smashed her lips against his. She grabbed the back of Ezra's neck and pulled them closer. Ezra had his hands around her waist also pulling them closer.
Aria began pushing Ezra backwards towards their bed while still kissing him. He finally reached the bed and sat down, and she climbed on top of him straddling him. She began to up button the top buttons of his polo shirt and then Ezra broke the kiss.
"Aria I don't know-"
"Ezra, chill, you know I don't want that till we're married." she said laughing.
"Bummer." he said. Aria hit his arm. "I'm kidding! I agree with your decision to wait." he said, then he took his shirt of and threw it to the ground.
He scooted back so he was fully lying on the bed and Aria climbed on top of him, and their lips never disconnected. Ezra suddenly flipped Aria over and they laughed, but began kissing again. This sequence went on for another 15-20 minutes till they were both out of breath from kissing.
They were both lying next to each other breathing heavily.
"You're hot." Ezra said playfully. Aria sat up and looked at him.
"You're right, and sweaty, I'm going to shower." she said laughing and getting up.
"No I meant the other way-" Ezra said sitting up as well.
"I know I know, haha. I'm going to shower," she said walking into the bathroom.
"Can I come?" Ezra said smirking.
"Ezra..."
"Aria...?"
And then Ezra walked into the bathroom, and shut the door.
