AND ALSO I DON'T KNOW WHEN IS THE NEXT TIME I'M GOING TO BE UPDATING, CAUSE MY VACATION IS OVER AND I HAVE TO GET BACK TO MY DAILY ROUTINE. SO FOR NOW HERE IS ANOTHER CHAPTER.
I DON'T OWN ANYTHING TO DO WITH PRETTY LITTLE LIARS.
Ezra's POV:
After I dropped of the girls at spencer house, I stopped by the Montgomery household. Just to make sure everything was all right. And most of all to give Ella a daily itinerary of what we would be doing, on our week-long trip to the lake. Because as much as Ella and Byron say they trust me, I have that feeling that they don't... And to be frank I thought that the itinerary was just pushing it. How the hell are we suppose to know what we would be doing? But considering the fact, that I wanted to get Aria's parents to really approve of me taking Aria out-of-town for a week. I came up with some Bull story. And to my dismay they fell for it.
The ride home with the girls, was very quite. And that was a shocker because Hanna always had something to say. Emily was busy on her phone, I'm guessing she was texting Maya. Spencer had fallen asleep. And Hanna just stared out the window during the ride. I believe she was really deep in thought.
When I finally arrived home, it was almost ten and I was beat. And Aria still hadn't called. I figured she must'vebeen asleep by now. So I didn't call the hospital, I wanted her to rest. After all we do have a whole week together, and I still haven't told Aria. I wanted her to be surprised, A whole week just Aria and I. Well and the girls but that's a different story. I really don't mind them coming as long as they, give Aria and I some space. I would really appreciate that.
My thought was still on Aria, after I took a shower. Just today's event's came rushing into my mind. And I still was trying to comprehend what had happen today out on the field. It was just magical. I loved it... I still can't believe I pulled her in for a passionate kiss, right in the middle of the school's football field. That was really something different, usually Aria and I were behind closed doors. But being out there in public felt, amazing. And I would do it again in a heartbeat if it meant that Aria and I would be together again. Until this late hour, I still don't know what Aria and I are? If were just friends? or a couple? I dont' know. But I intend to find out.
It wasn't long before I finally drifted off to sleep, thoughts of Aria filled my mind. And the heated kiss that we shared itched in my heart.
Aria's POV:
I was finally getting out of this hell hole they call a hospital. I can't believe they kept me here for two nights. I was going crazy in here, no cable no internet service. Plus the nurses were in and out of my room every hour. How do they expect me to rest if they keep coming in and out? My mind was on over drive in this room, not only didn't I have something to write in. I was having a major problem. I wanted a HIT so bad. I started to do some trip's on people. But the doctor did say that it comes with "Downing" so he called it. But my body was craving for more.
The girls had stopped by earlier in the day telling me they had a surprise for me. And when I asked for a hint. I actually told them "HIT". Which earned a slap from spencer and a few giggles from Hanna, but Emily was really quite. I still had known Idea what that's about, so I left it alone. Just thinking when she's ready she'll tell us. Ezra had come friday Morning just before school and during second lesson and stayed for lunch. Since lunch was right after second lesson I had a couple of hours with him. Although we still didn't talk about our relationship and where do we stand. It still was nice just to be in the same room as him.
I can't believe it's saturday after-noon and my parents aren't here to pick me up. I've been waiting since 11 for them and still nothing. I had called home telling them I was being release, right after the girls had left. But mike said they already knew that, and they should be here by 1:30. Yeah well 1:30 came and left a half an hour ago and I was still here, dressed and ready to go.
"Knock knock" Ezra said coming into the room with a grin from ear to ear
"what are you doing here? I asked confused, "Where's Ella and Byron?"
"I'm picking you up, and sorry I'm late." Ezra apologized and picked up my belonging bag.
"why are you picking me up?" I asked standing face to face with him.
"Didn't the girls tell you?"
"tell me what? No one told me anything" I told him.
"Aria? You and I are going to my parent's lake house." He smiled and took my hand, put I pulled it out just as fast.
he looked at me confused and knitted his eyebrows. "What are we Ezra?" I asked.
He took in a deep breath and looked down at his shoe's "We're friends Aria, and I'm taking my good friend to the lake house for a week." Ezra spoke and looked back up at me... So let's go!" I nodded my head and walked out of the room...
We walked to the car in silence. Ezra had put my duffel bag in the trunk and opened the passenger door for me. Once inside my head started spinning. But I just kept telling myself, "that the drugs is not the life you want." Ezra had gotten in moments after and started up the car. He looked heart-broken when I pulled my hand out of his. But then again, I knew things that he didn't. We finally drove away from the hospital and into Sun's gas station. I looked at him confused cause he already had a full tank of gas.
"What are we doing here?" I looked at him and he gave me a slight smile.
"Spencer and the girls are coming along, so we are meeting them here!" Ezra said and turned his attention somewhere else.
"You invited the girls? And here I thought it was just the two of us." I said playfully. I had to break this tension one way or the other.
"Well, when I told your parents the idea of us going to the lake house." Ezra looked at me "they didn't seem to happy of us alone, so I blurted out something about. If the girls want, they could tag along." he took a deep breath.
"Bad Idea Ezra..." I said and looked out the window only to see spencer pulling up beside us.
"Why? they promised to give us space" Ezra gave me his boyish smile, and when I didn't return any emotion he narrow his eyes' " Aria what's wrong?"
I took in a deep breath and look at him " I have to tell you something, but you're not going to like what I tell you!" I said in one short breath.
"You can tell me anything." Ezra replied and took my hand in his.
"After we broke up I" started but got cut off by Emily knocking on the window. I rolled it down "Hey Em, What's up? I asked and I had to remind myself later to thank her for the interruption. I just couldn't tell Ezra my secret. Not just yet.
"Can I ask a huge favor? Can I please ride with the two of you, I promise I won't say anything." Emily begged
"Are they signing again? I laughed "sure Em, you can ride with us." I said without even looking at Ezra and When I did look at him he was shaking his head and looking in the other direction. I knew he didn't approve of this.
Ezra's POV:
Aria was finally going to open up to me, and what happens Emily. I need to remind myself to have a talk with her about her timing. When Hanna and Spencer returned from the store and saw Emily with us in the car. They burst into a fit of giggles.
"What Em, did you give up on us." Hanna said getting into the passenger seat.
"Em we don't sing that bad." Spencer said getting into the car.
"Oh yes you do" Aria and Em said at the same time and looked at each other and laughed.
"Wow, four girl's and little owe me." I said pulling out of the gas station.
"Don't worry Ezra, once we get up to the lake we'll be fine." Emily said putting on her seat belt. "We will just all branch out and do our own stuff." she smiled.
"Great" I mumbled this is going to bea long seven days... As we all hit the freeway, it was nothing but smooth sailing. Hardly any cars on the road. Spencer is right behind me and every time I look in my review mirror, I see Hanna and Spencer mouths moving. It looks like they are really having a great time, and here we are the three of us and only the people on the radio is filled through the air. I have to do something or this is going to be the longest road trip ever.
"So Emily, How's the swim team?" I asked trying to break the silence.
"It's great! I'm just glad they let me back on, after being out for months."
"And how's Maya? I asked and I looked in the mirror to see Emily with a sad face. "What's wrong?
"Nothing, it's just Maya and I broke up last night" Emily replied and looked out the window.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to pry." I told her and looked over toward Aria who was fast asleep.
"It's alright, you're the first person I've told." Emily said looking at me.
"I guess this is the Single's car then" I laughed slightly and I heard Emily giggle from the back seat.
"I guess you could call it that... Thank you for letting us tag along." Emily said still looking at the side of my face. "I know you didn't wait us, to tag along. But really thank you."
"Emily, I don't mind you guys coming along." I took in a breath "I just know what's it's going to be like when we get there. and I just want some time alone with Aria, that's all." I smiled and turned my head slightly to look at her.
"I promise I'll help you with that. I know we want some time with her too. These past month's Aria was gone and we miss her. you know?" Emily spoke with a sorrow in her voice.
I looked over at Aria and I just realize that she really wasn't sleeping. She was listening to our whole conversation. Aria lifted her head ever so slightly and looked at me...
"I'm really sorry for my action's." Aria spoke with sadness in her voice. "once everything went down, it was really hard for me to stop." A few tears left her eyes and made their way down her cheeks.
"Aria... We are going to help you through this. You just have to let as in and don't shut us out." I told her and rubbed her shoulder with my right hand.
"Ezra like I told you before, there are thing's that I've done. That I'm not proud of." Aria said and looked behind her, to find that Emily had put in her earphones and was now listening to her Ipod.
"what are you talking about Aria?" I asked her, I thought we already knew everything that was going on.
"I can't tell you Ezra!" Aria said turning her attention out the window.
"Why? what's so bad that you can't tell me?" I asked getting a little frustrated. "Does it have something to do with Jason?" I said my voice rasing in the process.
Aria shook her head "I'm sorry." she said still looking out the window. With tears still coming out of her eyes.
Aria's POV:
We had finally made it to the lake house, Spencer and Emily started to make dinner. While Hanna read a fashion Magazine, and Ezra went to open up the house. So I figured it was a great time to just get away, maybe explore a little and just be one in my own thoughts.
I found myself sitting at the edge of the dock, just thinking of what had happen over the past two years. Ever since I came back to Rosewood. I found love, got a stalker in the process. And had been accusedof murder. Also not forgetting, getting into an argument with Jackie. Which didn't turn out in my favor. Causing "A" to win its little game. Having to break the hearts of the people who love me the most. By getting involved with Jason and doing the stuff that I did.
As all these thoughts rolled around in my head. I kept stealing glance at bottle of vodka that I took from the liquor cabinet. Debating if I should take a drink or not.
"Aria? what are you doing?" Ezra walked up too me as I held the bottle in my hands.
"Just thinking" I said and wiped the tears that escaped my eyes.
Ezra sat beside me and took the bottle of vodka out of my hands " I see you found the liquor cabinet?" he looked at me and chuckled a little "what are you thinking about?"
I looked at him, and gave him a slight smile "the past two years" I answered and looked at the sun setting over the lake. "How my life has changed so much, since I came back to rosewood."
Ezra nodded and set the vodka down between us "were you going to really drink that?"
I pulled my legs up to my chest. "I've thought about it. And I've thoughtabout it for the last 45 minutes" I said and looked at him again.
"I'm glad you didn't. the temptations, to have something you shouldn't is going to be there." Ezra smiled "And if you need to talk I'm here."
I nodded my head and looked over the lake just in time to see the sun disappear and the light of the moon shine upon us. "its beautiful, isn't it?" I asked Ezra, who was staring up at the moon.
"Yeah, it is." Ezra replied and took hold of my hand. "Come on, Spencer and Emily cooked a really good-looking dinner." Ezra smiled and stood up, pulling me to a standing place and picking up the bottle of vodka.
Ezra's POV:
Aria and I started to walk hand in hand, toward the house. And in the back of my mind, I couldn't stop thinking about how close Aria was about to tell me. What was going on, earlier in the gas station. I'm just wishing all in good time, she'll tell me all about it.
Once we walked up the steps and I saw Aria was about to open the door. I stopped her. "Aria, you can talk to me about anything, you know that right? I told her and gave her a winning smile.
she nodded her head "there's something I want to ask you!" Aria said and I squeezed her hand.
"Anything, Aria you can ask me anything" I said. I just wanted her talking again.
she took in a deep breath and looked me in the eyes. "Did anything happen, with you and Jackie after we broke up?"
Okay, so I just wanted to leave you hanging for awhile. Aria has a few secrets of her own. So she just wanted to break the ICE what could it be... DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW.
