Hiii! Due to constant requests, I've decided to make this into a story. I'm not exactly sure how long this story will be or how it will turn out, but I can assure you there will be a happy ending. In that case, though, if you have any suggestions, feel free to review and put your ideas there. It'd be greatly appreciated.


Aria sighed inwardly as soon as she arose. Her vision was still somewhat blurry, so she rubbed her eyes and blinked slowly. Her eyes landed on the clock. 12:05pm, it read. Managing to finally get out of bed, Aria walked towards the bathroom and brushed her teeth, then changed into a pair of blue jean shorts and put on a brown cardigan that accompanied the white blouse that she was wearing underneath. There was no emotion running through her—she was numb.

Her phone rang, and she rushed back into her bedroom to answer it.

"Hello?" she said into the phone.

'Hey, Aria. How are you feeling?" It was Spencer. Spencer knew most of the situation with Ezra and Aria, and in a way, she understood how Aria was feeling. Out of all her friends, Aria confided in Spencer the most. They were team Sparia, after all.

"I'm not really sure. Can you meet me at The Brew in 15? I'm trying to distract myself."

"Of course. You know I'm always up for being in a place where there's coffee. Plus, Emily will be there. I'd invite Hanna, but she's at some sort of fashion convention in Philly. Typical Hanna."

Aria smiled and let out a quiet laugh. "Okay, see you soon." She hung up and realized she had gotten a text message, and the short brunette gasped quietly when she was who it was from.

Hey, aria... I'm back in town for a while; do you maybe wanna meet up later and catch up? – Wes

For some reason, she really wanted to spend some time with Wes. Maybe it was the fact that he was related to Ezra, or because in her alone time, she found herself thinking of the kiss they shared awhile back. Nonetheless, she decided to text him back and accept his offer.

Meet me at my house at 7. I'll be home alone, my parents are out of town and Mike is staying at a friends. She hit send and it was only a matter of minutes before she got a respond.

Great. See you then : )

Aria slid her phone into her back pocket and decided to head to The Brew. She got into her car and drove off, parking rather sloppily but quickly, and opened the door to the coffee shop and went inside. Emily looked up from behind the counter, and offered Aria a small smile. "Do you want anything?" she asked.

"No thanks, Em. Is Spence here?" She looked around the small yet cozy room for Spencer, but couldn't find her.

"She didn't text you? She said she couldn't make it, but my senses tell me she had to attend to a certain blue eyed boy who was a little…" Em turned bright red; she wasn't the type to blurt some things out as they were. "She's satisfying him."

Aria rolled her eyes. "Well, I don't really want that image in my head, and I also don't want to go home. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, please. Can you give these lattes to the couple that's outside? It's a busy day and I feel a little bad, they've been waiting for a while." Emily slid the lattes across the counter, and Aria took them and pushed through the door with her hips, handing the drinks to the couple and smiling warmly at them. She was about to walk back into the shop, when she saw him. He was across the street, and he seemed to have noticed her too. Ezra had a soft look on his face, almost as if he had been hurt by what had occurred last night.

But why would he be hurt? Why would it matter that she was out of his life? He clearly had another thing to focus on, his son. Aria felt selfish, and when she snapped back into reality; he was gone. Blinking to keep tears from forming in the corners of her eyes, she went back inside and calmly told Emily she had a prior commitment she had to attend to and waved goodbye. She didn't really have a commitment at the time, unless you counted seeing Wes later.

She went back home, and watched the Gossip Girl marathon that was on TV. Her life somewhat resembled the show. Dramatic and depressing. A few hours later, there was a knock on the door and Aria rose to answer it, fighting the smile that was forming on her lips. Why was she so excited to see Wes? She swung it open and stared at his figure.

Wes was dressed in his usual vest and collared shirt, with blue jeans and some simple sneakers. He smiled at her, and she motioned for him to come inside, and so he did.

"Hey, Aria. It's good to see you." Aria fought the urge to hug him, because for some odd reason, she really wanted him to hold her tight and comfort her.

"Ezra and I broke up." She blurted out. Wes only nodded, as if he saw it coming.

"I know, he told me. I just came by to check on you and If I'm being honest, I really wanted spend some time with you. I've missed you..." Wes' voice trailed off, biting on his lip nervously as if he was embarrassed for telling her this information.

"I've missed you, too, Wes. I don't want to talk about Ezra right now. What do you want to do?" She was hoping to watch another movie, but Wes had another idea.

"Well, I brought the old Backstreet Boys album. Let's have a listen, shall we?" He didn't wait for her response, and approached the stereo and slid the CD in, pressing play.

I Want It That Way soon started playing through the speakers, and she laughed lightly—she didn't think of Wes as the type to listen to this sort of music, especially music made by a 90's boy band. Without even thinking twice, she grabbed onto his hand and swayed her hips side to side as she let out a giggle, whispering, "Dance with me."

He nodded and placed his hands on her waist, pulling her in closer, closer than he's ever pulled her before. Her hands trailed up his chest, and she then wrapped her arms around his neck. Moving to the beat, Aria smiled.

"You know, Aria. I'm never going to hurt you." Wes glanced down at her, tracing her jawline with his hand.

Aria felt herself getting nervous, he had only been in her house for less than 10 minutes, why was he saying all of this? She decided to ask him.

"Why are you saying this all now, Wes?" Her face scrunched up, feeling her breathing start to increase. She shouldn't be getting nervous.

"Because, Aria. You fell for the wrong brother." Aria gaped at him at first, but that was replaced with a grin. And with that, she leaned up and pressed her lips to his, beginning a kiss that she knew was wrong but felt so right.


Okay I think that may have been rushed, but I kinda felt that this chapter was a little too boring, so I decided to cut it up. Next chapter will be a lot more interesting, I promise, but I would really love some ideas. What did you guys think? Review!
