Alright, so one of my viewers gave me the amazing idea of doing sort of a song-shot to "Let it Rain" by Bruno Mars. It was a brilliant idea, so I hope I don't disappoint! Xoxo Courtney
Aria POV:
"Are you seriously telling me that Jackie is not a threat?" I yelled, flinging her hands up in the air.
Ezra nodded. "I work with the woman; she broke my heart Aria, and I'll never want her back," he tried to plead.
"She flirts with you every single day, I see the connection that you two have! You probably still have feeling for her!"
"Aria. I don't want her in my life, but she works at the college, and I just can't stop her from working there!" he explained.
"I would. Just, you know what whatever," she ended, as she grabbed her bag and walked out the door, leaving Ezra, just standing there. He felt like he was standing in the pouring rain, and there was no possible way of getting to a cover.
The next day….
Aria POV :
Aria, you need to believe me, please. I won't even talk to her as much, if you want; just please come over now. I have something to show you. E.F.
I stared at the text message, I had woken up about 15 minutes ago, and had just finished eating my chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. Yum!
I decided to reply. Okay. I'm on my way. –Aria
I had cooled down after yesterday. I admitted to myself that I really had overreacted, and if I loved him that much, the I should believe him; whether I want to or not. I put on my coat and headed for his apartment.
When I knocked three times on his door, 3B, he opened it almost immediately. He smiled, and I went to hug him. He accepted my hug, and bent down to kiss me. Fight fixed; but soon after our kiss, he backed me up until my back hit the door, and he put his hands up on the door right beside my arms, so I couldn't move. To my surprise, he started to sing; and the song was one of my favorites: "Let It Rain" by Bruno Mars.
"If you ever leave me baby,
Leave some morphine at my door
'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication
To realize what we used to have,
We don't have it anymore."
I got lost in his voice, and the song brought back some memories.
"Things just feel different," I mumbled, shrugging.
"But they're not different, nothing's changed, I'm still in love you!" he pleaded.
I closed my eyes. 'Don't get trapped in his words, Aria, just walk away' I thought to myself, as I said, "I… can't do this right now", heading for the door.
I didn't get to move 2 feet, because Ezra had backed my up, blocking my path. He got serious. "Are we over?" he asked.
I looked at him, almost sad to hear him say that, but what I was about to say was true. "I don't know." I looked at him one last time, before hurrying out the door, leaving him there, standing all alone, betrayed.
"There's no religion that could save me
No matter how long my knees are on the floor
So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin',"
"Forgive me," he stated, as he turned to face me in the car.
"No," was all I was able to say. Ezra moved closer, his lips only a couple inches from mine.
"Forgive me," he said again. I could barely make out his whisper.
I couldn't take it anymore. I attacked his lips with mine. Our kiss was passionate, but yet filled with such desperation. While in our "session" somebody had ran up to the back window of his car and wrote 'I see you' in the frost. We didn't see it until the next morning, but we knew for sure, somebody saw us, and they knew I wasn't supposed to be in that car.
"Will keep you by my side
Will keep you from walkin' out the door"
"I'm sorry," I heard Ezra beg, but I was too mad right now.
I looked at him in disbelief. "Until today, you were the one guy who had never lied to me," I exclaimed; and with that I walked out the door, leaving him alone in my own room.
"Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same, if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain..."
I pressed the button on my phone, taking the picture. The picture was of Ezra and I with bags over our heads. It was actually the first picture of us as a couple. Even though, our faces were covered, it still counted.
"Are we done?" I heard him ask. "I can't breathe," he continued.
I giggled, as we both took the bags off our heads and shared a kiss.
"I'll never be your mother's favorite
Your daddy can't even look me in the eye
Oooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing
Sayin there goes my little girl
Walkin' with that troublesome guy"
Ezra's POV:
"I'm in love with her," I claimed. I was finally telling Ella about my relationship with her daughter. Little did I know she thought I was dating Spencer.
"I'm gonna give you one chance to walk away from this, not because you deserve it, but because this is the last thing we need to deal with right now. And when you go, you need to keep going…." Ella said. I sure wasn't going to leave without Aria.
"But they're just afraid of something they can't understand
Oooh well little darlin' watch me change their minds
Yeah for you I'll try I'll try I'll try I'll try
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make you mine"
Aria POV:
"Look. I will be out of here, I will be there we will walk," Ezra stated. "Wait for me, please."
I remained silent.
"Aria." I heard him say.
"Okay. I'll wait." I sure wasn't going to wait for three hours but I didn't want to end our relationship. I wanted to give it a another chance.
"Be there soon," he exclaimed, as he hung up the phone and headed back to the conference.
"Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain..."
"I love you; and nothing you just said to me changes that," Ezra murmured, holding his hand behind my head.
I smiled in relief. "Thank you, for looking at me the same way you did yesterday,"
He would usually smile, but he stayed serious. He really did love me, and that was no joke. He kissed my forehead, and I rested my head on his shoulder once again.
"Don't just say, goodbye
Don't just say, goodbye
I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding
If that'll make it right"
I had ran out the school doors and into the parking lot. Thank god he was still here. I had made it just in time, because he as just about to leave. He saw me running to him, and he put his boxes down to face me.
"Ezra," I said, in a loud whisper as I jumped into his arms and we kissed. I couldn't let him leave, not without me saying a goodbye. He held the back of my head with one hand and my lower back with his other hand as he circled in his place, holding me, in his place and back the other way. He finally let me down as his tie blew in the wind. He brought his hand up to my neck as we continued kissing.
"Cause there'll be no sunlight
If I lose you, baby
There'll be no clear skies
If I lose you, baby
Just like the clouds
My eyes will do the same if you walk away
Everyday it will rain, rain, rain..."
I watched intently as he drove away, leaving me in the pouring rain, soaked. He then pulled over to the curb, causing me to go into shock, as I ran for the passenger door he reached to open. Once I got in, we didn't say anything to each other. After a minute, he pulled up against a curb again, but it was in a place where there were no people nor cars in sight. I stared at him. The second that he looked back, we kissed each other passionately. It was one of the best we had ever had.
Ezra ended his last word softly, and the flashbacks washed away. A tear shed from my eye; and I don't know why, but it did. It was beautiful. Ezra leaned in to wipe my tear away but before he could, I attacked him with my lips. When we parted, he asked, "What was that for?"
I just laughed. "For being perfect. I promise I'll never leave you again," I exclaimed, as we shared another kiss.
