Surprise! So I was rewatching Pll today, because tomorrow I will start my routine life again and I wanted to have a break. Also, did you see their Cast reunion? Where was Lucy Hale though? I think she distanced herself from the cast a little because of her new show, but I think Spencer and Aria were always closer than Troian and Lucy, so that's okay.

Anyway, I got inspired by Season 4 a little bit, so this what I came up with. I had Aria's kidnapper already in mind before that but it gave me the energy to write this..

I do really hope a few more of you would say hello in the reviews! Sometimes I feel like I am writing this story for two or three people, but I see the views and that's why I still want to thank you all :)

Here we go...

...

5 hours earlier.

Nodding along to the music that was playing from the radio, Aria smiled at the mere thought of seeing Spencer again. She missed her girlfriend like crazy and couldn't wait to see her again. Even though, they had realistically only spent one full day together as a couple, she felt like being with her was the most normal thing in the world. She was about to speed up a little at the thought, when she suddenly saw a car passing her only to turn into her line again. The car slowed down then, forcing Aria to slow down herself. She couldn't even pass it as there was too much traffic coming from the other line. That's when she noticed the license plate. She frowned when she noticed it was in fact Ezra's. The car's lights suddenly blinked up, as the car was slowing down even more, making her almost crash into it. She heard the car behind her honk. That's when Ezra's car came to a sudden stop, driving onto the side line. Furious with the situation and not thinking about it twice, Aria drifted into the side line as well and parked her car right behind Ezra's.

"What the hell, Ezra?", she screamed as she emerged from her car and saw that Ezra had already came out of his vehicle as well.

"Sorry. I am running out of gas soon and I wouldn't make it to the gas station. And then I saw your car and my phone died and - "

Aria sighed, not sure if she believed his story. She had been avoiding him ever since their break up and had deleted the messages he had sent her, not wanting to fall back into the web of chaos. She had not even told Spencer because she thought she would misunderstand the situation.

"It's fine.", she said and forced a smile. They moved to stand in front of the car, a moment of silence passing them.

"Okay. Could you drop me off at some gas station or something, so I can call someone?"

"I guess." She wasn't really in the mood, and she hoped there would be a gas station before the restaurant she was meeting Spencer at. She didn't want to ruin their first official date by tagging along Ezra and Aria could only guess how Spencer would react to him showing up with her.

"Great.", he smiled and took a step closer. "You know, I missed you." He stood there, his hands in his pockets and his charming smile planted onto his face. Aria felt sorry for him. He wasn't the one to blame for all of this and it made her feel guilty being annoyed by him when he was so supportive and honest when she decided to take time off.

"Yeah. I am sorry I didn't answer your calls."

"Or texts.", he added and Aria nodded, scratching her arm nervously. "I just needed time, Ezra. I needed time to be by myself."

Ezra took a few steps back then, leaning against the driver's door with his back pressed firmly towards it and Aria wondered briefly why they weren't inside the car yet. "So, do you still need time?" His tone had shifted and Aria didn't really like the direction this conversation was going. She noted how firmly he pressed his body against the door, almost shielding it and his behavior took her back to the time he started behaving suspicious because of his book.

"Yes. So, should we go?" She wanted to get away from him.

"Aria, why are you being so distant?", he forced for the conversation to go on. He stretched out his arm then, pulling her a little closer to him, and Aria could feel the tight grip he was holding her with. This was definitely something Ezra wouldn't normally do and it scared her a little. She stepped a little closer, still trying to have a distance between them, but not wanting him to lash out.

She tried to breathe normally. "I am not, Ezra. I told you, I just need space."

He eyed her then, his eyes holding a darkness she didn't expect, and it made Aria want to call or text one of her friends, especially Spencer. Aria knew she was probably wondering what took her so long. "I actually have a meeting with some of my coworkers. I will just let them know it will take a little while."

She glanced at her phone then, noticing how she didn't have any signal and she almost let out a frustrating sigh. Not wanting to risk anything, especially not after having lived through numerous A's, Aria did the one thing she could think of. She saw Ezra turn a little, his eyes not on her and she quickly put on a recording that she could later hopefully send to Spencer. She tucked the phone back into her pocket.

"Did you text them?", he asked, still not moving from the door.

"Yeah." She smiled, hoping Ezra wouldn't notice how fake it was. She patted his arm softly, indicating for him to move away from the door. "Let's go."

When he didn't move, she eyed him with a wondering glance. "Ezra?"

"Why are you lying to me Aria?" His voice laced with a tone of venom Aria had never heard him use before, and she attempted to step back, only to be pulled back. She felt trapped, and scared, and confused.

"What? Why would you say that?" She didn't recognized her own voice as it was barely a whisper, shivering with fear.

"I know that you are not meeting a colleague. I know that you are being distant for a reason. I know, Aria. Everything."

She didn't knew what "everything" meant but she had a guess and the traces of jealousy she could spot on her exe's face were enough of a clue to know what he was talking about.

"Ezra I - "

"Shut up!", he screamed and as the cars passed by, Aria wondered why nobody found it weird that there were people arguing on the side of the road.

"It's enough!", he held his head in his hands and even though Aria knew she should run away, should wave for a car to pick her up, should do anything to get away – she was rooted to the spot, looking at her former lover with a sense of pity. Part of her wanted to comfort him, but there was another, bigger part that wouldn't let her. She walked backwards, hoping he wouldn't notice.

"Don't run away!" In a second he had clutched her wrist tightly, and Aria felt a sense of deja vu. She forced those thoughts out of her mind, telling herself that Spencer's grip didn't compare to the force Ezra held her with. She screamed out in pain as he clenched his fingers around her slim arm.

"Ezra please! Let go! You're hurting me!" The rational part of her should have called for help, but she wasn't thinking straight.

"Why did you leave me, Aria? My life is falling apart without you!" Aria could see the tears welling up in his eyes, and she wondered how a person could be so conflicted with themselves.

"How could you choose Spencer over me?"

She closed her eyes then. Aria had never really thought about him finding out about her and Spencer, she didn't even know how he had found out. But it didn't matter anyway. He knew, and there was no way in denying now.

"Ezra, I am sorry."

"Tell me you still love me." His strong hold on her didn't loose but Aria had long lost the ability to feel the pain.

"I am sorry. I never meant for this to happen." She was breathing in uncontrollable patterns, convinced she was close to hyperventilating.

"For what to happen, Aria?" The terror in his voice was enough to flinch but Aria kept quiet.

"I asked for what to happen, Aria!" His free arm began to shake her then, and Aria wondered when he became so abusive.

"To fall in love with her."

It was the first time she had said those words out loud, and while it was probably not the smartest answer to give Ezra at that exact moment, it made her feel brave, feel free, and for a second she let herself smile. Her smile however fell, when Ezra's arm suddenly left the shoulder he was shaking, raising his hand in a threatening movement. Still trapped with his other hand clutched to her wrist, Aria closed her eyes. She was waiting for him to lash out, waiting for the sting she would feel on her face the moment his hand would collide with her cheek. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, nothing happened. She dared to open her eyes, not understanding why the pain never came. As she opened her eyes she could see Ezra shaking his head, his fingers clutched into a fist tightly, as if he was trying to control his emotions. He sighed deeply, locking eyes with her.

"Aria, Please! She messed with your head! Don't you get that she can never give you what you need? What you want?" He hold her closer then, not as tight, but hovering over her like a predator, and Aria's body began to shake. Her mind was racing. He wouldn't..?

"Ezra, let me go. Please." She whispered, trying to make him understand that she didn't want this. "I swear I will tell no one, not even Spencer. Just let me go." She didn't realize that she was crying, both – of the pain on her arm and the pain she felt emotionally.

"I can't – I am so sorry. I can't." His breaths were short and his voice almost apologizing. Aria looked up, but before she could think of what he was doing he had grabbed her wrists into one, holding onto them with force as he dragged her with him to his car.

"Ezra!", Aria cried out, as she wiggled against his touch. She tried to force her feet onto the ground, but there was no use. Struggling against him, she saw how loosely her phone sat inside the pocket of her jacket, now remembering that it was still recording. She took a short breath, shouting a little louder, struggling a little stronger, until the phone fell onto the floor without Ezra noticing. "Where are you taking me?", she screamed as Ezra pulled out a scarf to shield her eyes, preventing her from seeing. Not being able to fight against his strong hold she slumped into the back seat and heard Ezra buckle her up. She just hoped someone would find the recording soon.

…

"I am going to kill that - ", Spencer was already storming back to Caleb's car, Aria's phone clutched tightly in her left hand, her emotions spiraling out of control. Caleb grabbed her arm to put her to a stop. She struggled against him, shaking as she cried because of what they had just listened to. She wondered if there was ever going to be an end when she would live happily ever after.

"Believe me,", Caleb tried to reason with her. "I am right with you on this one, I want nothing more than to make him pay for hurting her. But we need to over think this, okay? If he really has Aria, we don't know how dangerous he really is."

Spencer closed her eyes briefly, blinking away some more tears. If she was honest with herself, she couldn't really believe that he was even capable of hurting Aria. He loved her too much to do that. Spencer knew that. But then his voice replayed inside her head. He had sounded so mad in that audio, despite hearing Aria's helpless voice and cries of pain. Part of her felt like it was her fault.

"This is all my fault. If I haven't - " She sobbed then, wiping away her tears as Caleb put an comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Don't go there, okay? It is not your fault. No one is ever to blame for falling in love."

Spencer weakly nodded. It was then that she suddenly remembered a part of the recording, one she didn't really grasp onto its real meaning as she was too busy to figure out what was going on.

"She loves me." Her voiced mixed into a laugh and cry, realizing how big this was - before turning to Caleb.

"We need to find her, Caleb. I need to do something, so if you don't want to come - "

Caleb shook his head. "This is not what I said. I just think, it's better to be prepared."

"Let's just go. I don't want to waste anymore time to get her back."

Caleb nodded then and the two of them got into the car.

…

There you have it! Hope you liked it.

Ezra has Aria, but would he really hurt her? And will Spencer and Caleb be there on time?

Also, next chapter there will be more Mona / Alex interaction! Stay tuned..
