Aria's POV:

The next few weeks had brought a new journey on for Ezra and I. We had finally decided on a new place together and with all the judgment from my Father and his opinions. We still decided to move in together.

It's a little two bed room house with a little small office space for Ezra, I thought it would be a nice upgrade. Even with a single level floor, we still had a lot of space to do our own thing. Raymond had his own room, Ezra and I shared. The kitchen wasn't as big as Ezra's open apartment, but it wasn't small.

"Finally." Ezra huffed a breath and sat ungracefully on the the couch. "Everything is over." He rubbed his face and look over at me as I placed a nice cold cup of lemonade down.

I smiled, "Everything all set up?"

"Yes and I still think that we should have went with a handyman." He groaned and pulled me down to his lap, "Everything would have been done last week."

I rolled my eyes, "But what's the fun in that? Ezra, your making as if you did everything yourself." I told him getting off his lap.

"I'm sorry, " He took my hands, "I know your helping and I guess I just wanted the easy way out." He defended himself, "I'm sorry."

I shrugged, "Whatever Ezra." I pushed him away, and stood up to leave when he pulled me back down to his lap.

"Aria, don't walk away angry." he pleaded, "I've been under a lot of stress lately. I'm sorry, that I took it out on you."

"Yeah, I guess." I looked into his eyes, "I'm trying Ezra, I know this wasn't our idle plan. But-"

"I know." He cut me off with a kiss to my lips, "I promise, no more lash outs."

I opened my mouth to speak but heard my phone going off, "ignore it." He mumbled against my lips.

"I have to get it. I was supposed to meet Todd this afternoon, I am so late." I told him and watched as his facial expression harden. "Nothing's going on Ezra."

"Are you sure about that? For the last week, it's only been me and Raymond." Ezra ran a hand through his curls, "I'm not saying you can't see your friends, but I just want to make sure that; that it's just that, friends?"

I went into a fit of giggles, "Are you serious?" I stopped when he raised an eyebrow at me, "I'm sorry, I thought you were kidding."

"Aria, I hate to ask but-" He paused and took both my hands, "Do I have something to worry about."

I graced his cheek, "No, I swear I love you and only you."

"I love you too," He kissed my lips again, "Now you may leave."

"Thank you." I bit my lip and got off the couch. I turned my head slightly feeling guilty for leaving Ezra behind. But the truth is, I was really going back to work and the only reason I didn't tell Ezra. Was because I knew how he felt, but; I felt just as bad that I couldn't pay for things around the house. And not taking my grandmother's offer of her just buying us a house, was really starting to take it's toll on me.

I went into our room and got ready for work. I was working at the dinner, just across town. I had gave up on pushing books and working at the gallery. So I upped and applied for a job at The pizza shop. We had good tips during the end and most days I would just deliver.

"I'm leaving." I called out from the hallway, "I should be back in four or so hours." I told him putting on my jacket.

"Alright. Drive safe." He told me, "I'll be here."

I sighed, I hated lying to him. But it's just what I had to do.

Ezra's POV:

Finally after a rough Saturday morning; with Aria off with Todd and Raymond finally back to sleep. I had the time to get my class lesson's in order. For the last few weeks, all I have been doing is free projects. With the help of Jenny.

The only thing that I seemed to want to do; is to get this house in order. Making sure that everything is to where it should be and making sure that my family had everything.

When Aria and I were looking for a place to call our own, never would I have imagine I would be living in a house. I thought about an apartment building with two bedrooms, but this house. Although it's small, it was the only one out of the twenty that we really loved.

Later that night, I had waited up for Aria. Something about the way that she was acting never seemed right. I know she's been on a lot of stress, with end of the term finals. And having to dealing with Raymond and just moving in to this house. But Aria going out everyday for the last week or so, wasn't herself.

After a while of thinking what could be going on, Raymond started to cry from the other room. I closed my book and got up to attend to him.

"Shh..." I cooed and picked him up from his crib and brought the blanket with me. "What's wrong little man?" I questioned, when he didn't want his bottle.

"Ezra." I heard Aria calling out and walked into the living room with Raymond in my arms. "Why is he crying?"

I shrugged, "I don't know, but he doesn't want the bottle." I said handing Raymond over to Aria's waiting arm's. "What's that smell?"

"Me, we ended up at a pizza joint and some kids started a food fight." Aria said without hesitating.

I nodded, "Really?" I asked, "Twice in two days?"

"Yeah, I just felt like pizza." Aria told me walking Raymond around the house, "Is something wrong with that?"

I shook my head and watched as Raymond started to clam down and started to take the bottle, "He just wanted his mother." I smiled, "Me too you know?"

I heart Aria sigh, "I'm sorry, but I'll be home for the next three days. Maybe we can find something eventful to do?"

"Yeah, maybe." I answered, "I'm going to take a shower, Are you going to be okay?"

"Yes, Ezra." Aria rolled her eyes and then let out a yawn. "Go ahead." She waved me on and walked into Raymond's room.

Flashback:

"This is the home where we're going to spend the rest of the year at" Aria gushed as she held Raymond in his arm's, "I can't believe it,"

I kissed the side of her head as I held the keys in my hands, "No one to interfere with how we spend our time together." I winked at her knowing she would catch on.

Aria and I spent that Monday afternoon, trying to get settled in. Ella and Aria's friends helped, with the help of the movers that had taken everything from my old apartment and the storage unit.

My mother had even donated some furniture from her storage unit, just so our home would feel like ours. And then she went on and on about how she would release my trust fund that I was supposed to have the year I turned 18. I denied that, saying that I didn't need her money to get a head in life.

As our first night in our home; Ella and Aria's friends had ordered take out. We were able to get our bed in order saying that we wanted to set up the crib together. As a family.

"Good night love." I kissed Aria with lust, "I'm so happy to have you both here," I gushed with tearful eyes as I laid Raymond on the bed between us.

"Thank you for asking." She kissed me back.

End.

I ended my shower with tears in my eyes. Something is happening right under my own roof and I can't do a thing about it. Because I don't know what that thing is.

I grabbed my robe and opened the door to the bathroom. Everything in the house was already locked and lights were turned off. I walked into Raymond's bedroom and saw that the only light in there was the night light. I walked into Aria and my room to see her sprawled out on the bed.

I sighed, thinking just maybe we could talk before she had fallen asleep. But my hope was long gone and it was only ten at night.

I turned off the lamp beside Aria and started to take off her shoes. She stirred a little but didn't wake up. And then I heard Aria's cell phone going off. I rolled my eyes and took it out of her back pocket seeing as she was laying flat on her belly.

One new text message; it read. I closed her phone again and then placed it on the changer next to the night stand. But then it beep again. I opened it up and once again it read.

One new text message; but this time it had an attachment. I opened it up and stared at it for a while. After the initial shock I looked down at Aria and shook my head.

It was a picture of Aria, working at the pizza shop. It read:

Wonder how Ezra would feel of you lying to him every week. I don't think that would go well, especially after what happen between you and Todd. -A

I heaved in a breath and placed Aria phone back down. I turned off all the light's and walked into the hallway grabbing a blanket from the hallway closet. Aria's working, after I told her to just focus on her studies. And then now this whole thing with Todd? I didn't know what to think anymore. Was Aria cheating on me? Is that why she was working, so she could get out of the house and away from me?

I sorted the pillows so I would be comfortable on the couch; it's not my ideal place to sleep, but if Aria wanted space away from me. Then that is just what she's going to get.

Aria's POV:

The next morning I woke up with a sore neck. I turned to my side and noticed that Ezra wasn't there and I was still in the same clothes from last night. I rubbed my eyes and looked over at the clock, it was only nine in the morning with the sun shining brightly through the curtains.

I stood up on my feet and stretched out a little. I then walked over to the dresser and grabbed some clean clothes so I could go take a quick shower before seeing Ezra and Raymond out in the living room.

Yesterday at work was hectic. Three people called out sick and then the driver; and since it's still a newer restaurant. The owner didn't want to hire more people than he could afford. So I was stuck playing with little kids who ended up throwing their food and driving around town after the party was over.

I ended up working more than what I was supposed too and coming home so late that I didn't even have time to spend with Ezra.

After finishing my shower I changed into a comfy pair of sweats and a tank top. Throwing my hair into a lose bun, not bothering to comb it out just yet.

"Ezra?" I called when I walked into the living room and saw that Raymond and Ezra were both gone. I went back into the room and grabbed my phone, it was gone. I knitted my eyebrows and checked the clothes that I was wearing the night before but it was still no where to be found.

Just then I heard the door slam shut and heavy foot steps on the wooden floor. "Ezra?" I called out again and turned around to see him standing near our doorway, "Where were you?"

"I dropped Raymond off At your mom's. She called this morning asking to spend the day with him." He explained angrily.

"Oh,, why didn't you wake me? I could have gone with you?" I asked walking passed him and into the kitchen.

Ezra chuckled, "I figured you were tired, you know from working at the pizza place?"

I sucked in a breath as my eyes went wide, "Excuse me?"

"Don't lie to me Aria. You've been doing it from two weeks."

I nodded knowing I can't get anywhere with this, "I'm sorry. But I knew how you felt about me working and I figured, since were not taking any money from our families. That another income would help."

He nodded, "What about Todd?"

"What about him?"

He shrugged, "Are you cheating on me?"

I opened my mouth in shock, "Who the hell gave you that idea?" I crossed my arm's over my chest, "I would never cheat on you. I can't believe you would even ask me that."

Ezra turned on his heal and opened up the side drawer in the kitchen, "You had gotten a few text messages last night." He handed me my phone and I just tossed it across the room, letting it break into pieces.

"Forget the phone, the fact is you don't' trust me. I know I went behind your back about working, but telling me or even asking me. If I had cheated on you, say's more." I yelled grabbing my keys, "Maybe moving in together was a bad idea." I stared at him.

"Maybe it was," Ezra retorted.

I sighed and then shook my head, "I've leaving. It's over,"

"Wait." He yelled out once I reached the door, "Please don't go, I didn't mean what I said."

"Of course you did." I choked out unable to hold my angry tears. "I see it in your eyes."

"Aria," Ezra grabbed my hand, "Please don't leave."

"Why?" I took my hand back, "All you see is doubt, Ezra you make like you haven't been keeping secrets from me."

"I know I have, but what I'm holding in doesn't affect you."

I nodded, "Are you sure about that? I heard you on the phone with Regina last week. So what time are you meeting her tomorrow for coffee?"

"I'm not meeting her anywhere. I just said that so she would leave me alone, Aria-" He rubbed the back of his neck pausing his words, "I over reacted, I know that. -A was just messing with us, I see that now."

"You should have saw that a long time ago." I told him slamming the door behind me and walking to my car.

"Aria?"

I'm not very proud of this chapter but hope you guys see it differently, I wanted -A to have some affect on their relationship and thought this was the best way to start. So Please review and Thank you to those of you who have.

Next chapter would MAYBE be up today I don't know yet, it all depends on you. If I get more then five reviews then maybe but if i get more then ten then of course i will. Nah, just kidding. I would update even if I get five.
