Ezra is working at Hollis for the summer, teaching a few courses. We both decided we needed the extra money for our son, so when they offered him a summer job he took it in a heartbeat. I am now 20 weeks pregnant. Today I decided to go with Ezra to work. He was teaching 2 classes. A Shakespeare and a creative writing class.
"Ok Aria. You can stay in my office until I am done teaching. My lunch is in an hour so we can go out to eat somewhere?" Ezra says to me.
"Perfect" I reply. I give him a quick kiss, and he kisses my belly then he leaves. I am waiting in his office for him to be done. I look over at the leather couch in his office, and smile to myself.
"That's where you were made" I say looking down at my belly. I have an hour to kill, and there isn't much I can do in an office. I go and sit at his desk, looking at the random things on his desk. There is a few ungraded papers, and a few pictures framed. One is of me and him, his arms are around me and my head is on his shoulder. Another picture is of an ultrasound of our baby, and the final one is of Ezra, his sister Esti, and his brother Jacob. I had never met Jacob. Ezra told me he lives in New York, attending Colombia University majoring in law. I would love to go to New York one time with Ezra to meet him. I pick up a script of Romeo and Juliet that Ezra has laying on his desk. I begin to read it when I see somebody walk in the door. It was Jackie.
"Jackie, how can I help you?" I say to her. Her face is surprised, like she didn't expect me to be here.
"I just wanted to leave this for Ezra." She says while placing an envelope on his desk.
"What's in there?" I ask standing up.
"Just old pictures I found. Pictures from collage and from our summer in Italy. I wouldn't look if I were you, some of them are pretty graphic" she says smirking.
"What do you mean, graphic?" I said to her.
"It's what collage people do. maybe when you go to college, you will find out." Jackie says before she walks out. I pick up the envelope and take out the photos inside. The first picture is of Ezra and Jackie kissing. I quickly throw it aside. The next is them dancing in a club. Jackie is grinding up against Ezra. I put that one aside too. The next one is of Jackie in nothing but a bra and underwear, and Ezra drinking a shot off of her stomach. That was it. I threw all the pictures on the floor and walked out. It might just be my pregnancy hormones, but it really got to me. I can't help but feel betrayed, and hurt. I know it was before he met me but I still feel like I got punched in the chest. I walk out of Hollis and to Ezra's car. I take his keys and drive away. I don't know where I am going, but I want to be as far away from Ezra as possible.
Ezra POV
"See you tomorrow. Class dismissed." I said to my creative writing class. I took my satchel and walked to my office. I opened my door and expected to see Aria, but instead the room was empty.
"Aria" I called out, but she isn't here. I walk over to my desk to put my satchel down and see pictures from me in collage, all of me and Jackie. Shit I thought. I ran to get my phone to call Aria but was stopped by somebody walking in my room with 2 sandwiches.
"Looking for something?" she said. It was Jackie.
"No, but have you seen Aria?" I ask her.
"Yeah, I saw her leave. I got you some lunch if you want some" she said.
"No, but do you know where these came from?" I asked her holding up the pictures. She smiles and walks towards me.
"I dropped them off. I found them cleaning out my apartment and I thought you would like to see them. Remind you of old times"
"Jackie, I don't want to remember that. I have a fiancé and a baby on the way"
"Looking at those made me remember how easy it was for me to fall in love with you"
"But I'm seeing Aria"
"Of course you are. You're the total catch. I just wish I knew how things would turn out if we were both single"
"But I'm not. I have to go, I need to find Aria" I say running out
"Z" I hear Jackie yell, but I don't look back. The only think I am worried about is finding Aria.
Aria POV
I got in my car and just drove. I drove around rosewood. I drove past the movie theater where me and Ezra had our first date, past my old house, and finally stopping at Ali's old house. I put the car in park and just looked at it. I missed Alison so much right now. She would be telling me what to do about Ezra and the pictures. I just started to cry when I see Jason walk out of the house.
"Hello Aria." he says to me.
"Hi Jason."
"How have you been?" I get out of the car and stand next to him. He looks at my belly and frowns. "So the rumors are true?" he says.
"Depends on what rumors you are talking about" I say to him. We haven't spoken much since the college fair. The day Ezra came and rescued me from Jason's house.
"That you are pregnant" he says.
"Yes, I am."
"And Ezra is-"
"Yes who else?" I say yelling. "I'm sorry, I'm just in a bad mood."
"Wanna talk about it?" he says.
"No, I should get going." I say to him. "Bye Jason"
"Aria wait. Congratulations. Ezra is a lucky guy" he says. Then he turns around and walks back into his house. I get in my car and break down crying. I drive around for hours. It is getting dark out and it starts to rain. my car starts making a weird noise, so I pull over. Now it is pitch dark out and pouring. My car won't start up again. Great. What am I going to do? I thought. I was in the middle of town, so I could walk to a bus to get home. I get out of my car and I'm getting soaking wet. I am in the middle of the street and cars are coming from every direction. I am lost, and scared, and soaking wet. I missed Ezra now more than ever.
"Aria" I hear a voice call behind me. I turn around and see Ezra standing there soaking wet as well. I run into his arms in the middle of the street not caring about anybody else but him. He rests his head on mine and holds me. he takes my hand and we walk to a coffee shop. We both sit down in a booth and I leaned my head on him.
"Ezra, about those photos"
"Shhh. I'm sorry."
"It's ok, I just get upset thinking about you with anybody but me."
"I was stupid. I got wasted and all things I regret about my life"
"Just don't let it happen again, at least to anybody who isn't me." I say flirtatiously.
"I would be happy to" he says back. we both laugh and I kiss him softly and lay back on his chest.
