I don't own anything

Aria's POV

I sleepily searched for my alarm clock that was further away than usually. I got up and noticed it had fallen behind my nightstand. I slammed it shut and lay down in my bed again, which wasn't clever since my eyes shut closed almost immediately.

"What time is it?" Spencer mumbled from underneath her blanket.

"Fifteen past seven" I replied and at that we both got up.

"Do we have coffee? Even instant coffee would be fine" She shouted from our little kitchenette.

"There should be instant coffee" I shouted back and stepped into the bathroom to take a shower. After my warm shower I grabbed a fluffy towel and wrapped it around my body. I dried my hair with a separate towel and did my make up.

Soon I heard Spencer whine on the other side of the room that she, too, needed a shower before her first lectures. If I've learnt anything during my time in college, it would be the fact that one bathroom isn't enough for two women.

I dressed in skinny jeans and a white blouse. I also decided to have my hair down like I normally did. I'm really lazy to do anything with it in the mornings. While I ate my breakfast, I marked the rest of my exams in my calendar, not to forget my finals that have stressed me ever since I started my last year. I know that stressing doesn't help, but the finals mean so much; what I will do and where.

When I'd written my important dates down I flipped back to March and realised it wouldn't be long until Spencer's birthday. I also noticed something else. I stared at my calendar and felt my stomach flip, and not in a good way.

"So we'll see in the library today, won't we?" Spencer said. Oh right, yeah. We'd agreed we would study together later on.

"Um, do you mind if I have to cancel it?" I asked her apologetically.

"No, I just thought you might want to since it was you who suggested it" She shrugged.

"I still want to, but I can't today" I answered honestly.

"Has something happened?" She asked a little worriedly.

"No!" I exclaimed quickly, trying to smile convincingly. Well, I really hope nothing has happened…

Spencer smiled at me back and quickly drank her coffee. I texted Ezra and hoped he would notice it.

Can you go to your lecture via my room? Aria

Spencer had already left for her lecture and I still hadn't got a reply from Ezra. I walked nervously back and worth in my room, and just as I was about to call him there was a knock on the door. I went to open the door and dragged Ezra inside.

"I was sure you hadn't noticed the message" I said to him.

"I only saw it when I was about to leave. What is it?"

"I'm late" I blurted out.

"I know, so am I. In case you'd forgotten, we're on the same lecture and if we want to be early we should-"

"Ezra, no! I'm late" I said more firmly and this time he seemed to get what I meant.

"What?" He asked blankly.

"You heard me" I answered in a considerably lower voice. God. I couldn't believe my period was late. I'd never been late before.

"I thought you were on pills" He said slowly.

"I am but it would seem I've forgotten to take them a few times" I answered nervously. Before this I'd never forgotten to take them.

"I was marking my exams in my calendar when I noticed my period should have started already.

"How long are you late?" He asked.

"Two weeks" I said faintly. Ezra brushed his hand through his hair. "This can't be happening, how can I forget something like that?" I exclaim desperately. Ezra walked to me and hugged me tightly.

"Hey, calm down" He said and stroked my back reassuringly.

"Calm down, how?!" I shouted and disentangled myself from his embrace. "Are not the slightest bit nervous that I might be pregnant?"

"Of course I am" Ezra answered calmly. "But we don't know for sure. And besides, you've been stressing out so much lately. Maybe that's why" He tried to reason.

I nodded and walked back into his arms. I buried my head in his chest and wrapped my arms tightly around him. Despite everything, we left for our lecture and agreed I'd buy a pregnancy test in a pharmacy later today so we'd know for certain. I didn't know how much my presence in the lecture mattered though, for all I could think of was if I was pregnant. What would happen if I was? How would my life turn out. The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. I looked at Ezra who was sitting next to me and the worst scenario popped into my mind. What if he left me because of this? Deep inside I knew he wouldn't do that. He wouldn't leave me alone, he never has left me alone with anything. But I still feared it.

I went to the pharmacy the second my lecture was over. When I stepped in, a blonde woman came straight away to ask me if I needed help. I thanked her politely and explained that not this time. I walked towards the shelf where I knew I would find the pregnancy tests. I looked at dozens of different tests in front of me and didn't know which one to buy. Obviously all of them promised a certain result. Eventually I grabbed a package that included two tests, just in case. I kept glancing around me in case someone had seen me, as if it made any difference. I was 22, not a teenager. But still. I didn't want anyone to see, I didn't want to be in this situation.

When I got to the room I stepped inside and shouted for Spencer. She wasn't in. I took a test from the plastic bag and looked at it. I opened the package and read the instructions carefully.

If there are two bars, the result is positive and you shall contact your doctor.

I took a deep breath as I read the sentence and took a seat on my bed. I jumped when I heard a knock on the door and quickly hid the test in my bag before answering the door. I opened the door and to my relief it was only Ezra. We'd agreed he would come around at this time. I walked back towards the bed and took the test that I'd hid in my bag. I felt Ezra's soft hand on my back and he asked if I was ready. I nodded and ruined around to hug him.

I took the test and left it in the bathroom and went back to Ezra who was sitting on the sofa reading a back cover of some book. Even though he didn't show it, I knew he was as frightened and nervous as I was. I sat beside him and leaned my head against his arm.

"What if it's positive? Will you dump me?" I asked him uncertainly, not knowing if I wanted to hear the answer. He took my both hands in his.

"Aria, I won't dump you no matter what the result is" He said, trying to reassure me. Usually he managed to do that, but this time nothing did. I looked at the clock and noticed ten minutes had gone without us realising. These ten minutes may have turned my life upside down. Ezra having encouraged me, I went to the bathroom where the test was lying. Shocked, I held the white stick in my hands while Ezra stood by the bathroom door.

"What's the result?" He asked me calmly.

"It's positive" I said and turned to look at him. A short silence fell over us and I walked out of the bathroom. My heart was bounding so hard while I walked around the room my arms folded on my chest.

"I'm sorry, Ezra. It's my fault, I forgot to take the damn pills" I said in a quivering voice. Soon Ezra enveloped me in his warm embrace.

"It's not your fault. It took both of us to get into this situation, not just you" He said softly. He was right. It took the both of us, but it was me who had forgotten the pills. We'd relied too much on them.

"So, what now?" Ezra whispered.

"I don't know" I said truthfully. "Right now both of us should be studying for the finals and not decide whether we'll keep this baby or not" I said quietly.

"I know but we don't have to decide anything now... right?" He said uncertainly. I shook my head and leaned into him.

"Please tell me this isn't happening" I cried softly into his shirt. "I'm not ready for this."

I was supposed to update my other fic but since I'd already written this one, I decided to update this instead. I will try to update it as soon as possible, but it would seem I've got a horrible bug. Now that I'm sick I've got nothing better to do than read your reviews :)
