Chapter 6

Aria decided to have her graduation party at her mother's art studio, since it had all her ideal decorations it had a classy yet edgy and artsy feel to it. Ezra came about a few hours before the party to help out with setting everything up for the party.

"Hey Babe, when exactly are we going to break the news to everyone tonight?" Ezra casually asked.

"I think we should do it when my parents are giving their speeches like right after it's the perfect moment I think." Aria replied with a smile.

"Sounds good. May I say how beautiful you look Milady?" Ezra said complementing Aria on her edgy jeans, t-shirt and blazer ensemble complete with pink converse.

"Oh these things I just threw them on since I'm gonna be dancing with everyone I have to be comfortable. But I thank you kindly dear Sir." Aria said sneaking in a quick kiss while her mom got the food from the back.

"Aria sweetheart, Can you come over please." Ella said coming into view.

"Yea mom what's wrong?" Aria said getting down from putting up streamers on the ladder she was on.

"Nothing's wrong just need your help."

"Mom what's up?" Aria said following her mom to her office.

"You and Ezra, You both seem very close now that you graduated from Rosewood." Her mom pointed out, "It's not a bad thing but is that why you almost lost it with Simone at the dance?"

"Uh… Wha?" Aria muttered shocked.

"I couldn't help but notice you yelling at him at the dance a thon a few months ago. And All I'm saying is that should he choose to ask you out I have no problem with it he's been raving about you at the staff meetings saying what a sweet girl you are and how you've proven to be one his best friends. I take since me and your dad's divorce you've sort of seen him as your rock. I don't blame you. I'm beginning to see why you like him so much he is a really good man." Ella explained.

"Ok…? I guess that's good to know. I do like him a lot. But I'm going back to help Ezra out with the remaining set up." Aria said in an awkward tone as she ran out.

"Aria? Everything ok?" Ezra said as Aria ran back into the main room.

"Most awkward moment with my mother ever. No I'm not going into it just help me finish this." Aria said in a semi dazed yet semi pissed off tone.

"Okay…?" Ezra said needless to say he didn't say more than one word for the next few hours at the fear she may go apeshit on him.

A FEW HOURS LATER…

Everyone was dancing enjoying themselves. Aria got to discreetly dance with Ezra.

"Um Hun, are you ok? You haven't said a word to me since I got back from talking to my mother a few hours ago." Aria asked as they moved with the music.

"You seem pissed earlier I didn't want to say the wrong thing and set off a bomb or anything." Ezra replied.

"Oh goodness Ezra I was dazed. Is that's why you haven't been talking to me for the past few hours? I wasn't mad I was just trying to piece everything together you see I think my mom knows about us but I can't be sure so don't worry I'm not mad at you." Aria said reassuringly kissing his cheek, "by the way you look handsome with your shirt untucked and your tie partially undone. I like it that and I'm sure you didn't realize we both have converse on just a difference in the color."

"Aren't you one to notice little things. Have I told you how adorable you look tonight?"

"Yes several times but thank you." Aria replied with a blush.

Everyone heard the tapping of the glasses and knew the Montgomery's were going to give their speeches to their daughter. Aria realized it's now or never.

"Hello, Everyone. Thank you for coming to help us celebrate Aria's Graduation. Aria Honey can you come up please." Byron said.

"Aria, we are so proud of you and what you have accomplished in these four years. Byron and I are proud to announce that we have another art/English major in the family. It feels as though yesterday we brought you home from the hospital and now looking at you despite your father and I's differences you have managed to become our beautiful young classy unique in character daughter. We love you baby." Ella said hugging her daughter with tears in her eyes.

"Your mother pretty much said it. You'll always be my little girl and don't let anyone tell you that you can't anything, just follow that instinct you have and you'll do just fine." Byron said kissing his daughters head.

Aria smiled looking at her parents. She knew even though her parents weren't married they still loved her no matter what.

"Hey Aria. It ain't my thing but I wanted to tell ya I love ya and I'm proud of you and to call you my sister." Mike said hugging her.

"Here I go…" Aria said to herself. She took a look at Ezra, and her friends who gave her the "DO IT" looks. She took a deep breath.

"Thanks guys I love you all too. But I have some news to share. About 2 years ago before I moved to Iceland, I met a very handsome, dark hair, blue eyed, man at a pub. He quickly became a very good friend, he was trying to finish his degree. We hung out very discreetly to avoid scrutiny. We said our goodbyes, when I left for Iceland. I lost touch with him over that year I was there. When I returned to Rosewood with my family, I bumped into him at the pub where we first met. I found out he was getting ready to start his first job as a teacher. Things hadn't changed a bit. Until I realized he was my teacher then I knew he and could never been seen together. Then before I knew it being in his class and seeing him every day that smile. And when I hit rock bottom with my parent's divorce he was there when I couldn't turn to anyone else. That is when I knew I was completely in love with him. As my senior started drawing to a close we brought up the idea of us having a romantic relationship despite how complicated our friendship was. The day after I graduated he ask me out and asked me to be his girlfriend to which I said yes to both. Who's this man you may ask? Well, he's here in this room, Mr. Ezra Fitz is my boyfriend. I'd like to point out that our relationship is completely legal because I am no longer his student, therefore we can be together." Aria said he heart pounding as she looked over to her parents.

"CONGRATULATIONS!" Hanna, Emily, Spencer and the 3 Montgomery's shouted. Everyone else clapped.

Shock overtook Aria's face as Ezra came up to her. She yanked him to the back room where she would confront her parents.

"MOM DAD explain yourselves." Aria said in shock, " I was expecting the wrath of my parents."

"We are ok with this. You didn't notice me dropping hints at you today when you and I were talking." Ella said, "thought you would've picked up on it."

"Wait recap and tell me everything." Aria said in shaky tone.

"You see Aria, Ezra met up with me, your father and brother yesterday, when you were hanging out with the girls. He had asked us if he could be you boyfriend or "steady beau" as he put it. And he asked if you could move in with him and he explained the real reasoning behind it. So to put it lightly we know you've been together for over a year now, he apologized for telling us sooner and for the sneaking around you two were doing he also assured us no underage shenanigans were going on. SO when he explained everything we knew he was the guy for you which is why we are not mad and that we are proud of you for attempting to have your own life." Ella explained.

"Aw, Ezra, you did all that for me?" Aria asked tearing up.

"Yes, I knew you were freaking out so figured if I get to your parents first then maybe they'd be ok with me being with you." Ezra said putting an arm around her.

"We'll leave you be, BYRON lets go. You could have said your peace but you didn't lets go." Ella said before Ezra could reply.

"It's nice that people know cause I can do this," Ezra put his arms completely around her.

"Just kiss me already." Aria said as Ezra dipped her as he lightly kissed her. She giggled.
