Ezra's POV:
I sat in my car for a few minutes, thinking if I should leave or not. I didn't know how things could go from us being happy, to us having this fight. I just wanted to explain to Aria, that I would leave. I know she know's this is my dream job, and she wouldn't want me to pass up an opportunity if it came down to me having it. But how could I just leave her? I don't want to leave her.
I looked at the front door, and stared at it for a little while. Before I just drove off, I figured Aria would have to come home sooner or later. And that I would just wait for her there. But when I drove into my drive way, I didn't expect Taylor and Gigi sitting on the front porch. Watching as I parked and got out of my car.
"Where's my mom?" Jason stood followed my Gigi.
"At Jason's house" I said, and slammed my car door shut "She's so stubborn. She didn't even let me explain, and that's all I wanted to do." I ran a hand through my hair.
"So what? Are you just giving up?" Gigi asked me.
"I don't know what else to do." I felt like crying "Aria won't even look at me"
"You have to do something" Gigi smiled, and walked over to me. Placing a hand on my shoulder "I know you love her. Just as much as I love Taylor."
"I don't know what do to" I whispered
"She'll come around." Gigi Whispered back.
"So what are you cooking?" Taylor looked at me, and placed his hands on his hips.
"Excuse me?" I looked at him in shock.
"Well, you made my mother leave. And we're hungry. So what's for dinner?"
I rolled my eyes, and walked up the steps. "I don't know..." I opened the door. "what are you cooking?" I smirked.
"Mac and cheese." Gigi, offered.
"Sounds good." I smiled and walked inside. "Make yourselves at home"
"No problem" Taylor smirked.
I walked into the kitchen, as Gigi followed closed behind. And Taylor plopping down on the couch turning on the TV
"I'm sorry for Taylor's behavior" Gigi smiled at me as I brought out the ingredients'
"It's alright, I-" I trailed off not really knowing what to say. "I mean Aria and I had fights but, we were always able to talk it out"
Gigi nodded "So you and Ms. Montgomery knew each other for a while?"
I nodded "Something like that" I smiled. "So if you don't mind me asking... What's your story?"
"What do you mean?" She looked at me confused.
"I mean. What did you like to do? Or your interest and stuff, I really don't know anything about you"
She giggled "Well, I'm from New York. I meant Taylor at a photo shoot, and we just clicked. Taylor and his mom, just so happen to move there with Richard." she stopped as I shook my head. "well, we started dating. And one thing lead to another. When Aria and Richard broke up, Taylor and I decided that long distance relationship will be hard to handle. And we broke up, but I do love Taylor. We've been together for a year, and I feel like he's my soul mate."
I smiled "I know what that feels like. So what about your family?"
Gigi Shrugged "My family and I moved a lot. My mother is in Public Relations and my step father well, he's unemployed. Kind of living off of my mother right now."
"I'm sorry. I know this must be hard, but Aria will help. No matter how upset she is at the situation, she'll always be there."
"You really love her don't you?"
"I do, but I don't think she realizes it" I said, as I started to make the Mac and Cheese.
"How did you two meet?"
I chuckled, as I stirred the pot. Thinking back to the day, in the bar. As Aria took a seat one stool over, ordering a cheese burgers. "Well, it's actually a long story. But I don't think right now is the right time."
She arched an eyebrow "Well, I really don't know what happen. Just the story Taylor told me, but I'm sure she'll come around."
I nodded "I hope so, I've already lost her once. I don't know what I would do if I lost her again."
Aria's POV:
It was nearing nine when I decided to go home, well when Marissa and Jason decided that I was okay to drive home. They had made me dinner, and I've texted Taylor to tell him where I was. Ezra had called a few times, but I just didn't answer it. I knew this silent treatment was killing him. But what was I supposed to say, don't go to Berkley? That's just something that I couldn't do, considering I knew this was his dream job. From the time we meant, Ezra told me that he would love to teach there one day.
I drove into my driveway, and parked my car. I glanced over at Ezra's house, as I saw that the living room and kitchen light was on. I then thought about, what if Ezra did take the job. where would that leave us? Would we break up? Or have a long distance relationship? Those were the questions that I wanted answers to, but to scared of hearing the out come. I wanted Ezra to get his dream job, to live his life. I didn't want to be the reason why, he didn't take it. That was just leave to Ezra having those questions of his own. All of those What if questions.
I closed my eyes, and rested my head on the head rest. I just didn't want to think about losing Ezra all over again. I know I was the reason why we broke up in the first place, but to actually think that Ezra and I have something. And then for it to be crushed because of this new job opportunity. I just don't know what I would do with myself. I know I have Taylor and then Gigi now. And in a few months well have a new born. But Taylor and Gigi are about to start a family, and I can't stop thinking that one day they'll leave. And get a place of their own, and what would I have?
I finally decided to get out of the car, I knew Ezra was still upset at me for not answering his calls. And the fact that he had punched Jason for no reason. Just pissed me off. I unlocked the front door, and walked inside. I heard nothing but silence. Everything was off, and Taylor and Gigi were no where to be found.
I called Taylor but he didn't answer, I then tried again. And someone picked up, but it wasn't Taylor. It was Ezra.
"Hello, Aria" Ezra answered.
"What are you doing with Taylor's phone?" I question, with a hint of concern in my voice.
"Relax, Taylor and Gigi had dinner here. And shortly after, they both fell asleep. Look Aria we need to talk"
"I know" I cut him off "I think we should end this"
"What" Ezra yelled and then I hear shuffling "Don't do this Aria"
"Ezra, if you get the job. I want you to take it."
"It's not going to happen." A voice from the doorway chimed in. I didn't even realize I didn't lock it as I closed my front door.
"Ezra"
"No" Ezra cut me off "I want you to know, that I would do anything for you. And if me going to this job interview, is going to destroy that. Then I don't want it. I finally have you after all these years, and I'm not going to just throw it away."
I shook my head, and tossed my phone onto the island. "I'm not letting you do this. Berkley has always been your dream Job, don't throw it away because of me."
"Then move with me? We can all live in an house, you me Taylor and gigi. Then this new little bundle of joy, we can all raise it together."
I giggled "That's an interesting offer. But it's not going to happen. Ezra I just got my life back, I'm free. I want to stay in my home Town for a while. I don't want to just pick up and move my family."
"So your just basically saying, it's over one way or the other?" Ezra hissed "How could you be so self fish?"
"Me self fish? You asking me to pick up my left again, and moving my family around the state. I want you to take all the opportunity's that left throw's at you, and you calling me self fish? That's real cool"
"Look I'm sorry, Aria. I really am, but I applied for this Job months before you even came home. But I don't care, I want to be with you"
"Maybe you should have just stayed with Julia? I'm no good for you, never was"
"Right now, your just speaking Shit talk. How could you even say that?"
I sighed "Just go home. Send the kids home, and I'm going to bed."
"No, were talking"
I smirked and turned from the stair case "Conversation over" I said sternly before running up the stairs.
"Aria you can't do this. Don't you love me?" I heard Ezra plead. I stopped myself from taking the last step to the landing. And turned to face Ezra once again. "All we've been through, you just want to end things because I have gotten a job interview?"
I leaned up against the wall and looked down at Ezra as he continued to talk "I want you, and if some Job is going to break us apart. I don't want it. For years I thought I would never see you again. And then you showed up on my door step, it felt like that first day in the bar all over again." Ezra started to walk up the stairs "Why don't you just give this a chance? Why do you keep pushing me away?"
I looked Ezra in the eyes, before letting my tears once again cacade down my cheeks "Because I don't want you to regret this. Ezra I don't want to move, i finally found a place, where I feel like I belong. I don't want to get up and pack all my stuff again. Ever since I finished college, and my books came out. That's all I did, was live from one hotel to another. Having my parents come out, just so they could watch Taylor. I want a stable home for him, and now I have Gigi and this baby. I can't make them up and leave, if you get the job. NOw if it was just me, you know I would be by yourside in a heart beat. But this time, I just can't"
"Then we'll stay here. Aria I don't care where I am, as long as I'm with you. I'm whole." Ezra took hold of my face, and gave me a chasted kiss. Once he pulled away, I felt the corners of my mouth turn into a slight smile.
"So what are we going to do?" I asked after a few moments of eye contact.
Ezra shrugged "I don't know. But I want this, I want you. I can't take that risk of losing you, over some stupid job." Ezra smiled.
"Your going to regret it" I mumbled.
"I'm not... What I regret the most, is not fighting for you. Not seeing the real picture, about what was going on. That's what I regret the most. When you broke up with me, yes I thought my world came crashing down. It took me years to get my life back on track, only to have it fall apart. But then you're here, and that lost pieces of my life made my heart whole again. Aria, I'm back and it's because of you. That our hearts beat as one. You are my soul mate, and faith has brought us back together."
I started to giggled "Cheesy much"
Ezra nodded and hoisted me up bridal style "What can I say, I'm a romantic" I rolled my eyes, as Ezra walked me over to my room and placed me on the bed.
"Please Ezra do something for me?" I begged.
"I would do anything for you." he smiled and brush a few strans of hair out of my face.
"Go to the interview, at least see what they have to offer." Ezra opened his mouth to protest but I just get him off "I know you say, you wont regret this. But I would just hate myself, if you didn't at least see what's out there. Please"
Ezra looked me in the eyes, before turning his gaze out the door all the while shaking his head "Fine. But I'm only wasting my time, and the Dean for going to an interview, for a job i'm not even taking."
There it is... I was wondering, if any of you saw tonights episode? What did you think? I thought it was a waste of time, because there was close to no EZRIA scenes. I mean they show so many scenes of the other couples and then when it comes to ezra and aria. It's maybe about a couple minutes long. What's up with that? I'm close to just ending the show, I mean the main reason I watch it is because of Aria and Ezra and if their not going to have any screen time. Then what's the use of wasting my Monday nights? I could be doing something more productive...
Okay ranting over, I just wanted to get that out. I know I have a few mistakes, and I also have another chapter typed and ready to upload.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW, I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS STORY, BUT I WOULD REALLY LOVE A REVIEW... THANK YOU!
