Hey everybody! So who saw the Canadian promo for this week's episode of PLL? I don't understand how Aria could dream about Jason when she is with Ezra Fitz! It's supposed to be a good Ezria episode though so *crossing my fingers*

Also (sorry if this is a stupid question) but can someone tell be what the difference between a hit and a visitor is when you look at your traffic stats?

And this story takes place where Aria knows Jackie is Ezra's ex-fiancée but not that she works at Hollis.

Anyways on to the chapter lol!

LAST CHAPTER:

Aria rested her head on Ezra's shoulder as they waited for the elevator to make it to their floor. Finally the two gold doors parted only to reveal the last person both Aria and Ezra expected to see.

Jackie.

Aria shot Ezra a look of surprise only to see him giving her the same face.

"Ezra!" Jackie squealed.

"Jackie," Ezra said leading Aria into the elevator.

Aria wrapped her arm around Ezra's waist and leaned into his whole side. Ezra looked down and chuckled at her sudden wave of jealousy.

"It's so crazy to see you," Jackie smiled. "Is this your girlfriend?" she wondered eyeing Aria.

"Yes," Aria growled.

"It's nice to meet you," She smirked. "So what are your guys plans for today," Jackie asked obviously trying to talk more to Ezra.

"Well we were going to walk around the city and then have some dinner," Ezra hesitantly responded.

"Why don't we all meet for dinner?" Jackie grinned, "It will give us a chance to catch up."

"Jackie, I'm not sure that's a good idea," Ezra admitted.

"Oh come on Ezra, I know you have a girlfriend. We can all go as friends."

Ezra looked to Aria, who rolled her eyes and gave a small nod.

"Ok so we'll see you at 6 in the hotel's restaurant… as friends," Ezra confirmed.

"See you then," Jackie said as the elevator doors opened once again. She stepped out and took a left while Aria and Ezra headed for the door to outside.

"I swear if she pulls anything I will seriously hurt her," Aria snarled.

"You're really cute when you're jealous," Ezra laughed pulling Aria close to his side.

Aria and Ezra cautiously walked into the hotel's restaurant and saw Jackie already sitting at a table in the back. They made their way over to her and slid into the deep red booth.

"I'm so glad we could do this," Jackie smiled.

Ezra nodded his head and Aria gave her a very forced grin.

After 5 minutes or so of looking over the menu's the three ordered their drinks and dishes.

"So what do you do Aria?" Jackie asked once their drinks were served.

Aria quickly glanced at Ezra before responding with, "I'm a student…in college," she added in.

"Sounds fun," Jackie said. "I must say though, you look really young, but I guess it's every woman's dream to not look as old as they really are," Jackie chuckled.

Aria muttered yeah and Ezra could see her jaw clench. He ran his fingertips along Aria's thigh which caused her to relax and earned him a giggle. He smiled at his work before mouthing an "I love you."

Luckily it went unnoticed by Jackie who busily reading the wine list left at the table.

"So Ezra what do you do," Jackie said looking up.

"I actually just applied for a job at Hollis and I was going to wait to tell Aria tonight but I got it," Ezra beamed putting his arm around his smiling girlfriend.

"No way! I work there," Jackie exclaimed. "I guess we'll be seeing a lot more of each other."

Aria's heart dropped to her stomach and she felt like her throat was closing up. How could this be happening to her? She quickly excused herself to the bathroom and immediately broke into tears. Did Ezra know she would be working there? Was he still in love with her? Aria knew she was probably overreacting but how could she not. Her boyfriend would be seeing his ex-girlfriend who is still in love with him every day. He wanted to marry her once, and maybe those feelings would resurface. Aria's phone started to vibrate and she looked down to see a text from Ezra.

Ezra:

Aria I had no idea. Are you okay?

Aria didn't think she could make it through the rest of dinner so she told Ezra she was going up to the room and to tell Jackie she just felt sick or something. Aria trudged out of the restroom and to the elevator not even bothering to wipe her tears. She finally made it to the room and collapsed on the bed. She stared out the window and saw it was raining. The soft water droplets raced each other down the clear glass and the clouds casted a dark hue throughout the room. 5 minutes later Aria heard the door open and saw Ezra walk in.

"Did you know," Aria whispered.

"No Aria I swear," he pleaded. "I had no idea. Last time I saw her she was just the TA. Please believe me."

"I believe you but Ezra I don't know if this can work out," Aria confessed.

"Aria we'll make it work, I promise."

"Ezra, she's still in love with you! I don't think i do this anymore knowing you'll be seeing her every day. And the whole point of you working there was so we could go public but what's the point of when I barely look 16, let alone in my 20's. People notice Ezra."

"Jackie noticed. And besides when have you started caring what other people think."

"Since it could put you behind bars!"

Ezra stayed silent for a moment before stepping closer to Aria. He tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear and brushed his thumb across her wet cheek.

"I can't do this right now," Aria choked out backing away. She walked out of the room and eventually found herself at a small diner. She had left the hotel's restaurant before she had gotten a chance to eat so she was starving.

"Can I get a cheeseburger," she asked the old woman waiting her. As soon as the waitress left she burst into more tears. She remembered calling out that same line in the bar when she first met Ezra.

10 minutes later her waitress, whose name was Linda, emerged with her meal.

"Are you okay honey," Linda asked giving Aria a comforting smile.

"Not really," Aria sniffled.

Linda sat opposite to Aria and asked her if she wanted to talk about it.

PLLPLLPLLPLPLLPLLPLLPLL

Over 3 hours later Aria had managed to tell Linda everything. She told her how her and Ezra met, to present day and everything in between. Aria knew she probably should have left out the teacher student part but sometimes it really helped let it all out. Linda didn't seem to mind and just listened without judging. She patted Aria's hand when another round of tears would come on and always knew exactly what to say.

"It sounds like you to really love each other. Go back to him hun," Linda smiled.

"Thank you," Aria whispered.

Linda enclosed Aria in a tight hug and ended up giving her her meal for free. Aria stepped out of the warm restaurant and into the cool night. After talking to Linda Aria realized that she was being crazy. Of course they could make it through this. Life had thrown them so many other curveballs so why shouldn't they be able to handle this one. Aria raced back to the hotel and up to their room. By now it was 11:00 so Aria stepped into the room as quietly as possible incase Ezra was asleep. Aria looked around the corner of the wall to see Ezra lying in the bed with his back turned towards her. She paced closer to him and could hear soft sniffles coming from him. It literally broke her heart to see him crying and tears started to fall from her eyes too. She quickly kicked off her boots and placed her jacket on a red armchair. Aria slid under the covers pressing herself against Ezra's warm back. She placed her arm around his torso silently apologizing for everything that had happened earlier. Ezra turned himself so he was facing Aria their foreheads so close they were touching.

"Do you want me to quit because I will," Ezra whispered, his hot breath making Aria shiver.

"No…just promise me I won't have to have dinner with her again," Aria smiled.

Ezra pulled Aria closer even though they were already pressed against one another.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Suddenly Aria's face went pale as she looked at the window.

"Ezra," she whimpered.

Written on the outside of the window in dark red paint was a message from none other than A.

Just because you got through this mess doesn't mean you'll the next one. I'm still here so watch out! –A

"Were on the freakin 9th floor," Aria muttered. "How is this possible?"

"A always finds a way," Ezra mumbled. He felt Aria snuggle closer to him and he put his arms protectively around her planting a kiss on her head.

So what did you guys think? Please please please tell me in a review! Also I'm not sure what disaster A should cause so if you guys want to give me an idea I will credit you.
