A/N: First off, I'm so sorry for not updating earlier. I just didn't have any time to write at all. My life's been revolving around so many again I apologize. Also because of all the AP tests I have I most likely won't be updating until like the 15th. I will try my best to do so before but no promises. Blame all the upcoming tests. Anyways as always, thanks for all the reviews!

2 weeks later.

These past two weeks had been nothing but amazing. Aria couldn't believe how amazing Ezra was and how he was able to completely change her life. She went from feeling depressed about her memory loss to now not even remembering she had lost it. She was falling for him fast, a bit too fast and that worried her. How could someone she met not even a month ago have such a big effect on her?. Ezra obviously felt the same way about her. Aria glanced over in Ezra's direction and couldn't help but stare. Ezra felt her eyes on him and turned her way a gave her a small smile. Aria blushed. They finally arrived back at Spencer's.

"Thanks again for tonight." Aria thanked him.

"You're welcome. You know how much I enjoy spending time with you."

" I love spending time with you too. You're amazing Ezra and these past two weeks we've been going out have honestly been the best. Thank you." She leaned up and pressed her lips against his. After a while Aria finally pulled away. "Goodnight Ezra."

"Goodnight Aria. Call you tomorrow?" he asked. Aria nodded and watched as he drove off. Aria knew that Spencer would be eavesdropping behind the door so she pushed the door open. Hard. Spencer immediately fell to the ground.

"Hey Spence. What ya doing down there?" Aria joked.

"You know..." Aria raised her eyebrow. "You know." Spencer laughed.

"Eavesdropping on my conversations eh?" Aria playfully shoved Spencer.

"Well I need details. It's been two weeks since you've been officially going out with Ezra and you haven't given us any juicy info."

"There's nothing to tell. He's just a nice guy who's fun, cute, really cute and just simply amazing."

"Wow. I don't think I've seen you this happy in like forever." Spencer said. Aria smiled.

"I don't know, it's just something about him that always makes me smile. He makes me feel like I've known him forever. I'm honestly really happy."

"That's great." Spencer placed her hands on Aria's shoulders. "I'm happy for you."

"Thanks.I can't wait to tell my parents about him." Spencer's face went blank, Aria completely oblivious to this. "Can you believe my Dad's gonna be working with him.?" she continued. Spencer's face was still blank. She had to find a way to convince Aria to keep this from her parents. They still didn't know that Ezra was back and they definitely didn't know that Aria was starting a relationship with him once again. But if they found out they would do everything possible to split them up once again. Aria deserved to be happy and Spencer would be sure to make this possible.

"Spencer?" Aria asked.

"Huh?"

"Have you been listening to anything I've said?"

"Um yeah. Of course. Wait. Do you think it's a good idea to tell your parents?"

"Yeah. I mean he makes me happy. Why should I not tell them?" Aria asked confused.

"I don't know. I think you should enjoy him, I mean you don't know what they'll say about this. What if they don't want you dating? You know there's a lot to think about. Don't wanna risk it." Spencer stated. Aria sat there thinking for a while.

"I guess you're right." Aria finally said. "It might actually be kinda fun you know? A secret relationship. Keeping it from my parents." Aria laughed.

"Yup." Spencer replied. If only she knew.

"Well Spence, gotta go. Thanks." she hugged her. "For everything. Text you later."

"Bye Aria."

"Welcome home babe." Ezra said closing the door behind him. Aria walked over to where he was standing.

"Can you believe we're now husband and wife?" Aria asked wrapping her arms around his neck. " I am officially now Mrs. Aria Fitz." She kissed him softly on the lips.

"I love the sound of that. God, you don't know how much I love you."

"I love you more."

"Nope." he stuck a strand of hair behind her ear. "I don't think that's possible." He leaned down and pretty soon their gentle and sweet kiss turned into a heated make-out session. After a while Aria finally pulled away.

"So are you ready to settle in Mr. Fitz?" Aria asked Ezra who took a quick look at the mess in front of them.

"Do we have to? Right now?" he whined.

"Yes. Now come on, It'll be fun." Aria said tugging Ezra's hand. Ezra didn't say another word and followed her. Pretty soon all they were completely settled into their new apartment. There was a knock on the door.

"Food's here!" Aria called. Ezra walked out of the shower and into the living room. He was wearing pajama bottoms and nothing else. Aria walked over to him and wrapped him in a tight hug.

"Have I ever told you how sexy you are?" Aria asked

"Yes. But you can tell me again." Ezra smiled.

"Come on. Lets go eat I'm starving." They sat on the couch and after a while Ezra fell asleep. Aria leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"I love you Ezra. Always have and always will no matter what may happen in the future, my heart will always be yours." And within seconds Aria fell into a deep slumber next to Ezra.

"Ah" Aria quietly screamed. Her heart was pounding, palms sweating and her head throbbing. Another dream. Why did she keep having dreams about Ezra. Did she like him that much? Honestly, she never told anyone about her constant Ezra dreams because she felt embarrassed but they happened almost every night. She'd had pretty crazy ones before but tonight, this one she could almost swear was like a memory. It felt so real , so right. She took a sip of water. It immediately cooled her down and relaxed her a bit. She really was going crazy about Ezra and this dream confirmed it. Dreaming being married to him? Living with him? This was all too much for Aria to think about. Before she realized it she was soundly asleep.

"Good morning sweetheart." Ella greeted Aria.

"Morning Mom. How'd you sleep? Where's Dad?"

"Great. How about you honey? Dad went to Hollis to check up and make sure everything's under control while he's away."

"Ok. and I slept perfectly fine." Aria lied.

"Do you want some breakfast?" Ella asked

"Just some orange juice please. I'm meeting up with the girls for brunch. We're discussing Hanna's wedding."

"Aria, don't you think you're spending too much time with your friends? You need to take it easy."

"Mom, It's been almost 4 months since my accident. I'm fine. And what's wrong with hanging out with them? It actually helps me feel alot better and it's better than being imprisoned here."Aria shot back defensively.

"Sweetie calm down. I'm sorry, I just th-"

"Thought what?" Aria snapped.

"Nothing. I'm sorry. Are you ok?"

"Yes. I'm fine. I'm sorry. I will be home later Mom."

"Take care. Bye."

Byron walked out of his office. Everything was still under control even though he'd taken some time off.

"Hey Professor Montgomery. How are you? We miss you" A few students called out.

"I'm good. Take care" He said before walking away. He was almost out of the building when he spotted the Dean.

"Hey Byron, How are you?" he asked.

"I'm fine how about you? I'm glad everything is under control. I promise I will return soon."

"Don't worry about it. You know your family comes first. Anyways, I'm running late. Nice seeing you. Take care now."

"You too." Byron replied. He continued to walk out of the building but bumped into someone along the way sending the strangers coffee directly onto Byrons shirt

"I'm so sorry." The stranger's voice said.That voice. Byron knew that voice. It couldn't be. Dianne assured him to keep Ezra away. "Please let me help you clean up? Let me get you a new shirt?" Byron stood there speechless. How could it be that after so much time trying to keep him away from Aria he managed to come back.Does he remember? "Sir, I'm sorry. What can I do to make up for it?"

"Leave." Byron mumbled.

"Excuse me?"

"Nothing, It's fine. Really, it." He assured him.

"I'm Ezra. Ezra Fitz. Just moved here about a month ago." Ezra stated. "If you need anything, you know how to find me."

"Thanks but don't worry about my shirt. It's fine." Byron walked away. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Why the hell did have to fucking come back? He had to think of a way to make him leave or to make sure Aria never sees him. He got in his car and couldn't help the great amount of anger and frustration running through his veins as he drove off.

"Hanna so have you decided on a date for your wedding?" Aria asked

"Not yet. We don't really want to set a date for it just quite yet. Besides, we can't agree during which season we want it to be." Hanna laughed.

"I'm so happy for you." Aria said. Hanna smiled.

"So how are you and Ezra?" Emily asked. Spencer glared at Aria and tried not to laugh.

"We're great." Aria said

"More than great."Spencer added. Aria rolled her eyes. She thought back to her dream and her face turned pink.

" Are you blushing?" Spencer asked.

"No." Aria said but her cheeks grew redder.

"Aria! Come on. Tell us." Emily said.

"There's nothing to tell."

"Oh. I know..." Hanna laughed. "You've been having naughty dreams about him haven't you?"

"No!" Aria face turned red like a tomato."No!" she sighed. "Well not exactly. It's just that I've been having all sorts of dreams about him but last night I had one where we were living together and were married. It's just real. I feel like all my dreams connect me to something. Connect me to him. I don't know and can we please just forget this?" Aria asked. The girls nodded.

"But be honest with us. How much do you like him?"

"Honestly, I like him a lot." Aria smiled "More than I thought would be possible. I don't know, but everytime we kiss I get a strange feeling. It feels so right ,so familiar, I can't explain it. And when I'm with him, it's magical. It's something I've never experienced before. It scares me, to tell you the truth, I've only know him for not even a month and I can almost say that what I'm feeling is a form of love. I don't know." Aria sighed. The girls all looked at each other. Oh how they wanted to tell her that the reason she felt that way was because she's loved him since she was 16. After a while Emily finally spoke up.

"That's great. I'm happy for you." Emily smiled. "So are we ready to go shopping?"

"Mom! I'm home!"

"Ok sweetie."

"Is Dad still not home?"

"He went out for a few drinks with his Hollis colleagues."

"Oh ok. Well imma go upstairs and rest for a bit."

"Ok honey."

Aria walked upstairs and flopped down on her bed. She took out Time Against Us and started reading. She was glad she was almost done with the book. Only had less than a chapter left. She had read up to the point where Daisy was about to open her college acceptance and James his job application requests.

I took out the various envelopes from my mailbox. In my hands rested NYU, Berkeley, UCLA. The top 3 schools I was hoping to go too. I nervously got into my car and drove off to James apartment. I don't know how I managed to walk all the way up to his apartment since my legs were practically like Jello. I let myself in and noticed James sleeping on the couch. I quietly leaned down and kissed him.

"Morning handsome."

"Hey, Daisy. When did you get here?" He got up and kissed her back.

"Just now. I got them." I pulled out the envelopes from my coat pocket.

"I got mine too."

"Let's open them then. Together." This was about to be the moment that marked our lives. We both had to get into the same school. James as a teacher and I as a student, If not, we weren't sure of what we would do.

"Daise, you go first."

I pulled out the Berkeley envelope and slowly ripped it open. I glanced over the words. Accepted.

"I got accepted." I whispered."You go now." I watched anxiously as he ripped open his envelope. "What does it say?"

"They already have all the teachers they need. But come on you open your next one." I nodded. Next was UCLA. I once again opened it slowly. Accepted.

"Got accepted too."

"Daisy that's great!"

"Open yours" James obliged and opened his.

"Same. Already have all the teachers needed." He noticed my worried look. "Hey don't worry, there's still one more to go." I reached and opened the last and final envelope.

"Lets open it at the same time." I suggested. He nodded in response.

"One."

"Two."

"Three." we both opened them and the smile on both our faces told us everything.

"I got the job."

"I got accepted." I quickly attacked his lips.

"Are you sure this is what you want? You don't want to go to Berkeley or UCLA?"

"I wanna go anywhere as long as you're there with me."

"I love you Daisy."

"I love you too James."

And with that I knew that a whole new life would be waiting for us in New York and at NYU. A life where we would finally be free to do whatever we please. A life where we would both be doing what we had to do. But most importantly, we were about to start our life together.

Aria turned the page. Wow. She had truly enjoyed reading that book. She wished she could meet the author.(If only she knew). She was about to start reading the epilogue but heard screams coming from downstairs. She quickly hid the book, she probably wouldn't remember where, but all she cared was about finding out what was going on. She tiptoed down the stairs.

"Byron, I don't see what the problem is. He obviously doesn't remember."

"But what if does? In the future?"

"That won't happen just let it go. Forget about him"

" I swear to you I will do everything possible to keep that bastard away from Aria. I promise you that. He won't ever get near her. Ever." Byron heard someone trip over something in the hallway.

"Who are you trying to keep away from me?" Aria asked firmly.

Byron and Ella both stood there speechless.

A/N: Please review! Hope you enjoyed this extra long chapter! Like said before, I will try everything I can to try and update soon but no promises.
