Aria and I was now, making thanksgiving dinner. I had called my parents, like Aria wanted but they had already made plans to go to New York. They said, something about it being a business trip and they could not pass it up.

Last night, I slept in the guest bedroom, just so Aria could have her space. I knew everything that had gone on in that Office was just a nightmare. And I did not know what to say. So I upped and slept downstairs. The children did not seem to care anymore. I guess what were really doing is upsetting them, and I do not know how to bring my family back together.

Aria is my life, and I am starting to think that she is more independent than anything. And if she wanted to she will just leave, like what Dr. Reyes told me. Like what Byron and Matthew said. Aria at one point or the other, is not going to handle it well. And will leave.

"Are you alright?" Aria looked at me curious "You've been mashing those potatoes, for the last ten minutes"

I stopped what I was doing and nodded, handing her the bowl "You want to talk about it?" Aria asked me.

"Not really" I answered and looked over my shoulder, where the kids were making the yams.

"Ah" Was all Aria said, before she walked out of the kitchen. And me being the curious one, followed her.

"What is that supposed the mean?" I snapped "Are you still mad at me or something?"

"I'm not mad at you. But the whole point of us going to see someone, is to let out all our emotions" Aria whispered. And headed upstairs.

"And I was telling you I did not want to talk about it." I followed her up the stairs.

Children's POV:

"Do you think mom and dad will ever go back to normal?" Amber asked EJ

EJ Shrugged "I do not know Amber. Mom and Dad live on fighting, it's all they know"

Amber nodded "I wish, sometimes dad had never moved in. Their fighting more, and your playboy madness is not helping."

"Excuse me, Miss perfect. I was not the one who brought that stupid thing to school" EJ hissed "So stop blaming mom and dad's problem's on me."

"I'm not perfect, but at least I was not stupid enough. To place, a teacher picture on a naked woman" Amber exclaimed.

EJ having enough of his sister, threw the yams in her face. "Shut up"

"Don't tell me what to do. You poser" Amber stood up and tossed, the water in his face. Causing the glass to brake when she bumped the table.

"Mom's going to yell at you now" EJ teased "That was great grandma's vase." He smirked.

Aria's POV:

"did you hear that?" I asked Ezra, and we both ran downstairs and into the kitchen. "What the hell?" I asked, and bent down to pick up my vase.

"Who did this?" Ezra asked. I was halfway in tears as I stood back up.

"Amber" EJ pointed.

"MOM, EJ was calling me names" Amber tried to defend herself.

"So you brake my grandmothers vase?" I snapped "Amber, what is wrong with you?"

"Aria she didn't mean it" Ezra stepped in

"How do you know? You were yelling at me upstairs" I cried "My grandmother is dead, these things are non replaceable Ezra. I don't care if it was on accident or not."

"Aria, Amber is sorry. She didn't mean to brake it." Ezra yelled at me

"Just stop." Amber yelled "I'm sorry that I broke the vase. I'm sorry that the two of you are fighting all the time. I'm sorry that EJ gets into so much trouble" Amber cried, and ran out the front door.

I walked out the front door moments later. To find Amber on the porch swing crying her little eyes out. I took a seat next to her, and rubbed her back in soothing way.

"I'm sorry I yelled at you" I apologize "Things are very complicated right now."

"I know" Amber whispered "This was the first time, you yelled at me mom" Amber looked up and gave me a hug "I just want things to go back to normal."

I nodded and smiled slightly. "I know baby, and daddy and I are working on it."

"Can you work a little faster?" Amber giggled

"I'll try, I promise." I pulled away. "Why don't you say, we go help the boys clean up the kitchen."

"I'm really sorry I broke, Great grandma's vase. I know it means the world to you. But EJ threw yams in my hair, and I couldn't let him get away with that. And when I threw the water in his face, I knocked the side table. I tried to catch it, but I was too late." Amber told me.

I sighed "Thank you for telling me" I smiled "Why don't you go upstairs, and take a nice bath. I'll finish up the yams, and give EJ a piece of my mind" I winked at her.

"You forgive me?" Amber asked as we both stood up.

"I'm angry, but accidence's happen. You can't predict them, and the next best thing is to tell the truth. So I forgive you"

Ezra's POV:

Dinner was fairly quiet. Just the occasional glances to one another. I really wanted to talk to Aria. I wanted to tell her how I felt, and that I was planning on moving back to the apartment. Just so I could give her and the kids their space back. I knew me moving in was a bad idea. But I just wanted to be closer to Aria. I wanted Aria to be closer to me.

The sound of the door bell going off, brought me back to the people in front of me. "Did you invite anyone?" I asked Aria.

"No, Just my parents. But they couldn't make it."

The doorbell went off again. So Aria and I stood up and walked over to the door. "What are you doing here?" I exclaimed.

"I wanted to talk to you? alone" Hardy looked at Aria.

"I think you did enough damage." I said, and tried to close the door. But Aria stopped me.

"Just talk to him. Five minutes." Aria pleaded.

"Five minutes Hardy." I said, giving Aria a kiss and walking outside.

"Ezra. I know that you're pissed at me and everything. But you're my best friend, I can't go back knowing you'll never talk to me again." Hardy started. "What Aria and I did. Was wrong on my part."

"Your sure as hell right about that." I snapped "You of all people, knew that I wanted to marry her. You knew what happen, and why we broke up in the first place. But you still went after her."

"I know, and your right. I'm a jerk and an ass, but I never meant to hold your children against you. Aria really has her way, when it comes to persuading someone" I chuckled "I just wanted to build up Aria's trust, and land the job on her staff. But as we started working long hours together, I fell for her."

"So what are you saying?"

"I saw, the way you held her against you. Never wanting to let her go on Monday. I saw how you pleaded over and over for her. I saw the tears you both shed, and that's something I can never give her. I just hope one day, you find it in your heart to forgive me. And we could go back to being friends." Hardy took in a breath.

"Are you still in love with Aria?" I cocked my head to the side.

"I don't' think I ever was. Up until I saw you two on Monday afternoon. I realized that You and Aria, are true love. And I don't want to stand in the way of that."

I smiled "Thank you, I do love Aria. But as for our friendship, it's something that we'll both have to work on. Because as of right now, my trust level is on a 4. So my therapist tells me" I chuckled.

"Therapist?"

I nodded "Aria's Idea. You remember Glenn?" I asked and Hardy nodded "Aria had something going on with him"

"I thought he and Hanna, had a fling or something"

I shrugged "Glenn fell for Aria, just like you. And well, I told Glenn the same thing and we started fighting Aria and I. But between you and I. Monday afternoon, was the most scarcest things I had ever witness. I never want to picture Aria leaving me again."

"She's smart you know. Aria came to me, and made me realize that what she and I do share. Wasn't remotely close to what her feelings are for you. She told me, that she would never in a million years, take back those feelings. Aria is dead set in love with you. She wanted me to make things right with you, my friend"

I smiled and stood there in shock "Aria did that?"

Hardy nodded "yes. Now it's time for you to let go your demons and make things right for Aria. Because as of right now, she's torn."

"Did you eat?" I asked him

"NO, I was just going to pick up a burger or something." Hardy chuckled.

"Why don't you come inside? Things are a little tense, but I feel like Hardy the goofball might shed some light"

So there it is, I hope you like it. Please Review. I wanted Ezra to at least have one of his friends back. Because that's just sad if Ezra turned out to be a loner. I KNOW I HAVE MISTAKES, AND GRAMMAR PROBLEMS... PLEASE REVIEW.
