A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews! Hope you enjoy this chapter!
Aria's P.O.V
I drove as fast as I could. I just wanted to get home. Away from everything. I couldn't believe what I had just done. I didn't know I was capable of being that strong, I was always the first to break down into tears. It hurt to act the way I did. Especially seeing the look on his face. I was mostly pissed at the girls though. How could they do this to me? They know how much I'm hurting. They have no right to butt into my life the way they did. After a long drive I finally get home.
"Honey, what's wrong" Ella asked as I walked in
" Nothing Mom, I'm fine" I said
"Aria, you're crying"
"Mom. I said nothing is wrong" I said walking up to my room
As soon as I got into my room, I collapsed on my bed sobbing. I felt bad since Sophie was just sitting there looking at me, confused, but I couldn't stop crying. About five minutes later I heard the doorbell ring and then, of course, I heard the girls' voices. I heard Ella ask them what had happened before I heard them coming up the stairs.
"Aria, can we please come in" I heard Emily ask
I remained silent. Instead I ignored them and started looking through my scrapbooks with Sophie.
"Aria, I don't care if I have to break your door down, so you better open this door now" Hanna yelled
I got annoyed so got up and let them in.
"What do you guys want?, didn't I make myself clear? I don't ever want to see you guys again"
"Well we don't care" Hanna said sitting down on my bed "Come here baby girl" she said taking Sophie
"Hey, I just explained everything that happened to Ella, Aria she's worried" Spencer said coming in
I remained silent again.
"Aria, please. We were just trying to help you" Emily said
" Our plan was to get you back together, we seriously thought you would finally tell him the truth seeing him"
"Well you obviously thought wrong" I said sitting on the bed
" Aria, we're sorry, we just hate seeing you like this" Hanna said
I was silent again before realizing that they were right.
" No, you guys, I'm sorry" I said starting to cry
" Don't cry" Hanna said
" You guys. Don't know.. how I felt. It was torture" I said in between sobs "I had to lie to him, tell him I didn't love him, that I was just pretending all along"
"Aria, it doesn't have to be like this, you can change it" Emily said
"No, I can't. You don't understand what his mom is capable of doing" I continued crying "You know what hurt me the most? saying I felt nothing when he kissed me" I continued
" I'm sorry Aria. I hate seeing you suffer" Spencer said
"and then as he was leaving" I broke down crying uncontrollably "He said... he said he hated me"
"Aria, you know he doesn't mean it" Emily said
"How can you guys be so sure? After all I said to him, who wouldn't hate me"
I just layed there for what felt like ever. The girls tried to make me feel better, but nothing helped. All of sudden I felt someone kiss my cheek.
"No cry mommy" Sophie said
I picked her up and hugged her with all my might.
"I love you baby girl" I said kissing her head and putting her back down
"Looks like Sophie finally got mommy to crying" Spencer said
"Are you feeling better?" Hanna asked
"Yeah, a little. I'm so glad I have my daughter, she's what keeps me strong" I said
"Aria, you have us too. We just want what's best for you" Emily said
" Thanks. I love you guys."
Sophie then came walking back to us with my scrapbook.
"What's this?" Hanna asked
"Just an old scrapbook"
"Sophie come here, let me see that" Hanna said
As Spencer, Emily and I talked, Hanna and Sophie were looking through the pictures.
"Daddy" I heard Sophie say when she saw a picture of Ezra
They all looked at Sophie and then at me.
"Did she just say daddy? Spencer asked
"Yeah, I mean she deserves to know who her father is, so I've always showed her pictures of him and told her it was her daddy" I explained
"Aw. That's cute" Hanna said
"Aria, you realize if she ever see's him there's a possibility she will recognize him and call him daddy? I mean toddlers are smart." Emily said
"I know. That's why he's never going to see her. Now can we please talk about something else? So are all your loves? I asked them
"Fine" they all replied
"Caleb's getting back from his mom's this weekend. He anxious to see you and meet Sophie" Hanna said
After talking for a while we ordered takeout and watched movies. And for a while I was actually able to forget about my terrible day. Hopefully I would be able to move on with my life.
Ezra's P.O.V
Aria's words killed me. How was I so stupid. I should've known, after all she was just a teen, a teen I fell madly in love with. The girl I'm still madly in love with. It hurt me so much that she used me like that. After all I risked for her. After proposing to her. I was such an idiot. My mom was right all along. I seriously just feel like dying. Even though I told her I hated her, how can love turn into hate within a day. Especially after that kiss. I missed her kisses. Her fake kisses. The one's that meant everything to me, but apparently not to her. I still couldn't believe Aria had done this to me. I needed to get rid of everything I was feeling. I called up Wes and Hardy and told them to meet me at the Bar.
" Is everything ok dude?" Wes asked once he got there
I shook my head and kept drinking. I was on my 5th shot of tequila already. I saw Hardy walk through the door short after.
"Hey, what's up?" Hardy asked sitting down
"He won't talk" Wes explained
" I'm so stupid. Stupid stupid Ezra" I said
" Dude talk to us. We can't help you if we don't know what's wrong" Hardy begged
" I gave her everything. I loved her more than anything. How could she do this to me?"
"Aria? Ok. what happened" Wes asked
"Nothing. 3 more shots" I told the bartender "make them double"
"Stop drinking I think you've had enough" Wes said
"Yeah man, just stop drinking and tell us what happened. Did you talk to her? Talk to us" Hardy said
" You can't tell me what to do" I said, now very drunk
"Ezra, please stop. You're drunk now, let's go home, we will talk there" Wes said
"I'm not going anywhere. two more shots" I told the bartender
" Dude. Come on." Hardy said
"No." I replied
"Hardy you go get the car and then take him home and I will go pay the check."
"Ok. I will be right back" Hardy said leaving
"Ezra, man talk to me I'm your brother." Wes said
I just sat there in silence and kept on drinking.
"Ok, well wait for me here, I'm going to go pay the bill, I will be right back ok?"
"Yup" was all I managed to say
Yeah right I was going to let my little brother drive me home just because he thinks I'm drunk. Sure, I'm a bit tipsy but I will be fine. I grab my coat and head out the door before Hardy or Wes can see me. It takes me awhile to finally start driving. I start heading home but all of a sudden everything got fuzzy. Next thing I know I see a bright yellow light ahead of me. Within seconds I don't know what just happened to me. My head suddenly hurts a lot and I can feel it bleeding. Last thing I remember hearing were ambulance and fire trucks sirens before completely blacking out.
