He cleared his throat before he spoke loud and clear. "And now, we have a special guest to give the diplomas out to his class. Mr. Fitz, a former teacher of the P1 AP English class, please, be my guest," the principal welcomed.
I then noticed a tall, dark haired figure, who had changed his suit, making it more formal. He caught my eye as he began reading off the names of the students in the class. My name was called: "Aria Montgomery." He said it with a smooth tone, and our gazes met. His smile was the largest I had ever seen, and it was adorable. He stood tall and proud as he waited for me to meet him.
I heard the squeals of my best friends from somewhere in the room, and I smiled. Just like in my dream, but differently, I mouthed, 'I love you' to Ezra, and he got the message. I giggled as I made my way over to him.
Ezra POV:
Time seemed to go by in slow motion as I watched Aria walk my way. She had a huge smile on her face: a beautiful smile, and there were tears threatening to fall. She finally met me on the platform. "Congratulations, Ms. Montgomery," I exclaimed.
Aria wiped her eyes with one hand as she shook my hand in the other. I purposely held her small hand in mine a little longer while I gently rubbed my thumb on the top of her hand. I leaned down to her ear, and whispered something slow. "I wouldn't miss this day in a thousand years," I murmured, as I kissed her cheek softly and started to part away from her. I didn't care that I just did that in front of hundreds of people. I wasn't her teacher any more: I was her fiancée.
Before I could get away, not that I wanted to, she giggled as she grabbed me by the tie and pulled my lips to hers.
Aria POV:
We kissed for what felt like eternity, and I loved it. He put his strong, muscular arms around my back, pulled me up off the ground, and twirled me. I didn't regret for one second that we were kissing in front of the entire audience: They didn't seem to care. Students cheered and clapped their hands. Even some people in the crowd were cheering. The principal and the rest of the staff were silent, as Ezra finally planted my feet on the floor.
I noticed the principal give Ezra a death glare, and I rolled my eyes. "He's not my teacher anymore, now is he?" I questioned. The principal looked at me, shrugged, and walked back into Ezra's place. Ezra stroked my cheek before we walked off the stage together.
Once we were out of site, I stopped him. "You're clever Mr. Fitz, very smooth; and I love you for that, I really do," I confessed, as I got lost in our embrace.
"Did you really think I would miss your big day?" Ezra asked, laughing.
I shook my head quickly. "No, but you sounded pretty convincing," I noted.
Ezra chuckled, as he kissed me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck. We were interrupted by an "Aww!"
We quickly turned around, and I sighed. "Hanna!" I scolded.
Hanna clapped her hands together and jumped up and down. "Fitz! That was absolutely adorable! Everybody was rooting for you too. The principal wasn't even mad!" she yelled.
Ezra wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. We stood there, talking to people and each other until all the names were called. The principal spoke a little longer and we were free to go. The band was playing the famous overture as we walked out of the building. I had given back my robe and was now wearing the dress I had picked out.
"You look beautiful," Ezra claimed. I smirked.
"Thank you, Ezra. You don't look too bad yourself," I replied.
Ezra smiled as we got in his car. "So, how about you go back to the hotel, and I go back out and get us take-out to celebrate.
"Sounds good, I have to change out of this suit. It's so tight," Ezra chimed, laughing. I giggled as we soon pulled into the hotel .Ezra walked into the building as I sat in the driver's seat. I put the radio on and began to drive. My phone chimed a couple of times. Thinking it was Ezra, I grabbed my phone, while keeping my eyes on the road. I pressed, 'Open'.

Surprise! –A
I closed my phone, and squinted my eyes in confusion. I stared at the phone and thought about what A meant. I knew once I suddenly jolted forward, and the car spun out of control. I spun the wheel trying to get the car back on its four wheels, but it tilted to the side and fell on the ground, causing a crashing sound. Smoke arose from the front of the car, as I yelled for help.
Now I got what the surprise was. My hands went to my head as I felt the wound I got from my head hitting the steering wheel. I pulled back my hand from the pain and noticed the blood on my finger. I winced. I couldn't quite feel my left wrist, and I started to cry.
I pulled out my cell phone quickly, gasping. I dialed Ezra's number, and held the phone up to my ear.
"Aria?" Ezra exclaimed on the first ring.
"Ezra," I gasped, searching for words.
Ezra quickly became worried. "Aria, what's wrong?" he demanded.
I began to hear a beeping sound, and I panicked. "The c-car…..h-hit…I need h-help—Pl-please," I whispered.
Ezra's breathing picked up in speed. "Oh my god, Aria where are you?"
"Rose and M-Maple st—street. Ezra there's a beeping sound and I'm scared! Please h-hur—" I whispered but couldn't quite finish the sentence.
"Aria? Aria! Are you there?" Ezra asked. I heard him choked. The pain from my head increased, and I searched for words, but couldn't speak.
My arm fell and my head rested back on the window, as my eyes drooped. The beeping sound was still ringing, and the sound never left my ears.
Woah! Scary, huh? What is that beeping sound? And will Ezra be there in time to rescue her? Keep in mind that you'll get your happy ending, I promise. If I get at least 10 reviews today for this chapter, I'll post the final chapter later; so tell me what you thought! Xoxo Courtney
