Chapter 2
Aria drove home in a rush since it was already 10:30. She called Spencer on the way letting her know she needed cover for tonight.
"Don't worry about a thing I gotcha covered." Spencer told her over the phone.
As soon as Aria got to her house she saw her brother nor father had gotten home yet. So she was in the clear for the moment. She changed out of her dance attire and put on some more comfy clothing, jeans with a blue undershirt, a cut off sweatshirt and some flip-flops. She packed her bag for the night. She wrote a quick note to her father before leaving:
"Dad,
I went to Spencer's for the night. Please don't call I'll be asleep by the time you get home. I'll be home tomorrow or Monday depends on how I feel. I call you tomorrow to let you know what's happening. Spencer's parents are out of town so they probably won't be home. Call Spencer if you need to talk to someone.
See you in a day or 2,
Aria"
Aria ran out the door. She drove to Ezra's place in hurry. By the time she got there her heart was beating rapidly. She ran up the stairs and knocked on Ezra's door. She heard voices and opened up the door, to find Ezra and Symone talking.
"What in the hell is going on? Symone?" Aria asked in a dazed and pissed off tone.
"Aria? What are you doing here?" Symone asked.
"I could ask you the same thing, I thought Ezra wasn't your type."
"Aria this isn't what it looks like." Ezra chimed in.
"I was just getting ready to leave. I'm heading back to New York early tomorrow morning. I only came here to get my short stories back. I swear that's all I came here for, that and I needed to explain to Ezra that I didn't like him like that. I wouldn't hurt you like that you're like a little sister to me. But yea I only came here for that. I'll be going now."
"No, hold on. Ezra is what she saying true?" Aria asked.
"Yea she only came back for her short stories and to clear things up with me. I swear." Ezra said.
"Can I go?" Symone asked.
"Yea, I want to talk to you for a second though. Ezra give me a second."
"What's wrong Aria?"
"Symone seriously what really happened?"
"I told him how you felt. And I know about your relationship with him. I promise Aria, I swear I won't say a word about it to anyone. But do me a favor and be careful."
"Wait hold on. You know?"
"Yes. So I'll tell your mother I see Ezra as a friend only. I'm serious you guys' secret is safe with me." Symone hugged Aria, " Now get back there, he's got something planned for you."
"Symone. Thank you for this."
"Just don't get caught and don't be jealous he's only got eyes for you. I'll see you soon." She said heading down and out the building.
