Hey guys, so sorry if this chapter is really bad but my grandpa passed away yesterday and tomorrow is his funeral. I'm writing this to try and get my mind off of it and I feel bad because I make you guys wait like a week between every update.

Anyways here's chapter 25 and please review, it makes me so happy.

PREVIOULSY:

Aria nodded her head as Ezra started the car and drove to her house. They silently tiptoed up the stairs to Aria's bedroom and shut the door behind them. Luckily Ella and Byron were sound asleep and couldn't hear them walking. Aria slipped out her outfit and exchanged it for a big t-shirt, while Ezra wore just his boxers. The two laid down on Aria's bed together cuddling closer into the others embrace. Aria buried her face in Ezra's chest while he had an arm wrapped around her waist. Aria's breathing soon became steady and Ezra just watched her. He didn't understand how someone so small could go through so much and still be ok. He kissed her cheek quickly before falling into his own slumber.

Aria slowly opened her eyes only to be met with an empty bed beside her. She had a mini panic attack as she realized Ezra was gone and quickly turned around so she was facing her door.

"I'm right here," Ezra soothed, wheeling in Aria's desk chair over to the edge of the bed. "I woke up a little while ago and I wanted to let you rest for a little longer," he explained.

"That must have made me seem like a totally crazed girlfriend," Aria laughed. "It's just last night put me a little on edge."

"I completely understand," Ezra smiled. He tucked a lock of hair behind Aria's ear before pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Oh and your parents wanted me to tell you, that Mike and them went to one of your mom's art shows. They figured you weren't going to be up for it and left us some breakfast in the fridge."

Ezra could see a flicker of excitement pass though her eyes as she propped herself up onto her elbows.

"So we have the whole house to ourselves?" Aria hinted. She pulled at Ezra's hand silently saying she wanted him on her bed.

"Aria," Ezra cautioned as he reluctantly sat beside her. "The doctor said you shouldn't do anything to vigorous while you're still healing."

"Well," Aria said climbing into Ezra's lap, "We'll just have to be really gentle."

"Aria, I don't want to hurt you," he reasoned.

"Yeah, but with everything that's been going on I feel like we haven't had any time to just be a couple."

Ezra sighed. She did have a point. They really hadn't had much time to do anything.

"You have to promise that you will tell me immediately if I'm hurting you ok?"

"Is that a yes?" Aria grinned. Ezra chuckled and gave her small nod before being attacked by her lips. He rested his hands on her hips as Aria trailed her hands down his chest. Aria pushed Ezra down so that she was lying on top of him and tangled her hands into his hair. Their tongues clashed together in prefect harmony as the two of them became one.

…

Aria slipped into some sweatpants as Ezra put his jeans back on. Once they were fully dressed they walked hand in hand to the kitchen. Aria smiled to herself as Ezra grabbed the breakfast Ella had made them.

"Why are you smiling," Ezra laughed.

"Well first, I was thinking that what we just did was absolutely amazing and I just feel so free. Now that A's gone we don't have anything to worry about," Aria said.

"I agree," Ezra replied as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

"With the first part or the second?"

"The first," Ezra joked as he playfully kissed Aria's neck. "And the second."

The two made small talk as they ate their blueberry pancakes and eggs, everything finally feeling right with the world. Once they cleaned up they decided to settle for a leisurely day watching old movies. Aria was cuddled into Ezra's side as they watched Gregory Peck, from To Kill a Mockingbird flash across the screen. Ezra absentmindedly had his finger looped around one of Aria's curls while she played with his other hand.

After 2 hours and 9 minutes the ending credits rolled by but the pair stayed on the couch just talking.

"So spring breaks almost over, are you excited to back to school?" Ezra wondered.

"Ugh no," Aria answered. "At least when you taught there I had a class to look forward too."

"It can't be that bad," Ezra chuckled.

"Oh believe me it can. Mr. Smith who replaced you is horrible. He drones on about the most boring stuff and he's nowhere near as hot as you," Aria giggled.

"Well I'm glad," Ezra said. "I heard you had a thing for older guys."

"Just one."

Ezra leaned down to kiss her but was interrupted by a knock at the door. Aria groaned before standing up to get it. She turned the knob only to be face to face with Noel Kahn.

I'm really sorry it's so short but I really wanted to put something up. Please review and I'll try to update soon.
