Ezra's POV
I sneak into the abandoned cabin through an open window on the first story. As soon as I enter the cabin I see Derek and my father walking towards the window from the opposite direction. I duck down so they don't see me, luckily they aren't aware of my presence.
" Let's look for Ezra in the front yard, I doubt he found a way inside." Robert tells Derek.
I smile triumphantly as they walk away. Now to the second order of business, finding Aria. Where would I put someone who I was trying to keep hidden? The basement! I sprint down stairs to where I assume they are keeping Aria. My instincts are right, I find Aria naked and chained to a wall.
" Ezra!" She says though her heavy sobs.
" Sh-sh it's okay. You're safe now, I won't let them hurt you anymore." I say as I wrap my arms around Aria lovingly.
I cover her exposed body with my sweatshirt so she doesn't feel uncomfortable. To my dismay, Aria begins to sob even harder.
" Stop crying love, everything is okay." I say as I kiss her on the cheek.
Aria shakes her head vigorously and says, " No it's not, they are going to kill both of us."
" I'll protect you, I promise." I assure her.
" Your dad has a gun Ezra!" Aria tells me.
" We have to get out of here before they find us." I tell Aria.
" I can't, I'm handcuffed to the wall." Aria reminds me.
I angrily tug on the chains, but they don't budge.
" There's no use Ezra. I'm going to die it's inevitable, but you can still escape." Aria says as I wipe away her tears.
" I love you so much Aria. I would rather die than spend another day away from you." I tell her passionately.
" Please leave me Ezra, I can't let anything happen to you!" Aria begs me.
" I'm not going to do that." I say to her.
" I'm so sorry that I didn't believe you." Aria says as she sobs into my chest.
" I'm sorry I let my father do this to you." I say as tears begin to form in my eyes.
" I love you, no matter what happens." Aria tells me.
" I love you too. Forever and always." I say as I hold her trembling body in my arms.
" Call the police, they're our only hope." Aria suggests.
I immediately dial 911.
" This is 911 what is your emergency?" The woman asks.
" This is Ezra Fitz, I'm with Aria Montgomery in a secluded cabin on 31705 Moonlight Way. Her kidnappers have a gun, and our lives are in danger." I tell the woman.
" We are coming over, stay out of sight." The woman says sternly.
" That isn't possible, Aria is handcuffed to a wall." I explain to the woman.
" Try to buy yourself as much time as possible." The woman tells me.
" Yes ma'am" I say politely.
" You two hang tight." She says before hanging up the phone.
Aria gives me a small smile. I pull her bruised body closer to me and kiss her harder than I ever have knowing it might be the last kiss we share.
Aria breaks the kiss and gasps when we hear the door open, I hold on to Aria as tightly as I can.
" Well, well, well, if it isn't Romeo and Juliet." My father says with a smirk.
" How did you find us?" Derek asks.
" You left a paper in your house with the address." I explain.
" You're going to have to pay for this." My dad tells me furiously.
" I know this doesn't mean much to you, but I am your son. If you have even a small amount of love for me hidden deep inside of your heart, please don't hurt Aria. Do anything you want to me, but please leave her alone." I beg.
" I don't love you, I hate you!" My dad says furiously.
" Why?" I ask trying to hide the hurt that I'm feeling.
" You killed your mother, she was the only woman whom I've ever loved besides Ella Montgomery." My dad says cooly.
" I didn't kill Mom, she left you remember?" I ask annoyed.
" The woman who raised you wasn't actually your mom. She was your mom's sister who insisted on taking care of you." My dad tells me.
" What happened to my real mom?" I ask confused.
" She died giving birth to you stupid!" My dad yells hysterically.
" I killed my mother, no wonder you hate me." I say ashamed.
" Don't listen to him, it's not your fault." Aria says trying to convince me.
" It is most definitely your fault! If only I lost you instead of her." Robert says as he pulls out his gun.
I look at Aria's beautiful face one last time, knowing that this is the end.
" Lucky for one of you, there is only one bullet left in this gun." My dad says with a smirk.
" Shoot me, not her." I tell Derek and my father.
" Why should I let you off that easy? I want you to watch the woman who you love so dearly die right in front of you. I had to go through that because of you, and now it's your turn." My dad says as he aims his gun at Aria and pulls the trigger.
It happens so fast that I don't have time to say anything, instead I push Aria away and take the gun shot for her. The bullet hits me on the side of my body, and it doesn't take long before my blood begins to ooze out. I'm probably going to die, but it's okay. My dad is out of bullets and the police are on their way, Aria is going to be okay.
" Ezra!" Aria cries out as she holds on to me desperately.
She takes of my shirt and wraps it around my wound. My father and Derek look at her furiously, but don't do anything.
" Please say with me Ezra, I can't lose you." She says as she flings her body on top of mine.
" I love you Aria, you'll never lose me." I say as her beautiful face begins to fade away.
Aria's POV
I watch fearfully as Ezra's beautiful blue eyes begin to shut. So much blood is pouring out of his seemingly lifeless body.
" Are you bastards happy!" I scream at Robert and Derek.
They stare at me paralyzed with fear. I've never felt so hurt and so angry at the same time. Moments later a group of policemen break down the door.
" Are you okay?" A concerned officer asks me.
I shake my head sadly.
" What's going on here." Another officer asks me.
" Those two men kidnapped me, they tried to shoot me but he jumped in front of me. Ezra Fitz saved my life." I say through my sobs.
" Everything is okay Miss." A man tells me gently.
" Please help him!" I say gesturing towards Ezra.
Two paramedics put Ezra on a stretcher. An officer removes my handcuffs and gives me a blanket while two other officers handcuff Robert and Derek.
" We just called your parents." The man who helped me says.
" I want my mom." I whimper.
" She is meeting us at the hospital." He tells me.
" Can I go with Ezra?" I ask hopefully.
" No, we need to ask you a few questions." Another man tells me.
" For goodness sakes Wilden! Hasn't this poor girl been through enough today?" The kind man snaps.
" Fine, go with him." Wilden says cooly.
" Thank you." I say gratefully.
" Is Ezra going to survive?" I ask a paramedic.
" It doesn't look like it sweetie." She tells me sympathetically.
