Thanks for the reviews for the first chapter! :D I suddenly got more inspiration for this when I was listening to Parachute. I was going to have it be a separate one-shot, but it related to the first chapter so I decided to continue with it.
This song is 'You and Me' by Parachute off their sort of new, but not really(it came out in May) album, The Way It Was I saw them live in June in San Francisco and they were amazing.
Anyways, I hope you like this chapter, and if you haven't already(shameless plug) I wrote another songfic one-shot called 'Angel With a Shotgun' about Ezria with another The Cab song, you don't have to, but you know, meh? (you should check it out)
Enjoy!
"Ezra! How is the movie coming along?" A reporter asked.
Ezra smiled, "It's coming along great. The director stuck to the book, and it's almost done filming, so in about a few months it should be out in theaters."
"How is your personal life doing? We hear you're planning something special for you and your wife, Aria?"
"Nothing that big. Just a road trip across a few states. We need a break, so this is going to be good." Ezra chuckled, "We're actually leaving right after this interview."
"Well, thank you for coming. It has been a pleasure. I hope you have fun on your road trip." The reporter smiled.
"Thanks for having me here."
The reporter turned to the camera, "Ladies and gentleman, Ezra Fitz. Author of Endlessly which will be coming out in theaters soon."
The cameras stopped rolling and Ezra stood up to shake the reporter's hand, "Thanks for choosing me to be on the show."
The reporter laughed, "No problem. Just a little something to thank you for teaching me back at Rosewood. Have fun on the trip with Aria."
Aria walked up just then, "Thanks Noel. You're doing great as a host."
"It's something that I just came across and I loved it. It's great seeing you both, but I have to get ready for the next interview. Have fun! See you when I see you." Noel shook hands with the couple and walked to his dressing room.
"You did great," Aria turned to Ezra, "you didn't sound nervous at all."
"Really? Because I was extremely nervous." Ezra sighed, "Ready to leave now?"
"More than ready." Aria took Ezra's hand, and together, they both walked out to their rental van, already filled with the necessities they needed for the next few days."
"Did you leave your phone at home?" Ezra winked.
Aria chuckled, "I took out the battery and locked it in the drawer with yours."
Suddenly, the couple heard the distinct sound of running feet and camera shutters going off. The paparazzi were trying to grab pictures of them before they left. Ezra quickly opened the door for Aria, closed it, and got in the driver's seat before the paparazzi hounded them.
Hold my gun and watch the door,
Pick the lock and cut the phone,
Keep your head up love,
Ain't nobody here can stop us,
Grab the bags when siren call,
We're out the window through the yard,
Keep it locked up tight
Ain't nobody here can stop us
Ezra tried starting the car, but it took him a few times to get the engine to run, and by that time, the paparazzi were knocking on the windows, wanting to speak to the couple. Ezra finally got the car to start, and making sure he didn't hit any of the press, he drove off.
"That was close," Aria breathed.
"I know. What did you think they wanted?" Ezra asked.
Aria smacked his arm ("Whoa! I'm driving!"), "Seriously? Ever since the media found out about our former 'teacher-student' relationship, they haven't stopped stalking us!"
"You got a point there. But let's forget about that and enjoy our trip."
Baby I've had this same dream
Where I wake up
Wondering what it really means
If the world came running down
Ezra kept one hand on the steering wheel and took Aria's hand with the other, "I love you."
"I love you too," Aria smiled.
If it was
You and me against the world
Baby they cut us under but we'll take whatever we want
If it was you and me against the world
You get the car, I'll get the cash, we'll take the money and run
Liked it? I hope you did.
:)
