A/N- I promised that in this chapter you will find out Ezra's decision but I am postponing it to next chapter because it is to long if I write it in one chapter. In this chapter you will find out an HUGE secret about Maggie
Aria's POV
I woke up with my head throbbing like crazy. I blinked my eyes a couple of times and took in the setting around me.
"Oh my god!" I gasped. I was in Ezra's apartment. How did I get here? Last night was a huge blur. All I could remember was Jake kissing me, Ezra's shocked expression and driving to Snookers.
Knowing myself, I would probably have gotten drunk off my ass and passed out. Whenever I have a fight with Ezra, I turn to alcohol. Alcohol makes me forget about all the trouble in my life, even though it is only for a short period of time.
But that still does not answer my question. How did I end up in Ezra's bed? Did I drive here? And more importantly, Where was Ezra?
I was wearing one of his shirts so I know nothing happened last night. But truthfully, I rather sleep with Ezra instead of Jake. Even though Ezra and I broke up, I am still in love with him. My feelings for Jake are nothing compared to my feelings to Ezra.
I was very thirsty and hungry so I decided to get up. I shifted in the bed and found a note on the pillow next to me.
You were passed out last night. I did not want to leave you alone in a bar so I got you to my apartment. I'm going to pick up Malcolm from his karate class.
I still love you,
Ezra
Tears filled my eyes after reading the note. Even though we were broken up, Ezra took so much care of me. I kissed someone else the day after we broke up but he is still concerned about my safety. And after all that I have done to him, he still loves me. I did not deserve a man like Ezra.
I forced my self out of the bed and took a good look at the apartment. It was much messier than the last time I had been here. Clothes were sprawled across the couch. Empty Chinese takeout boxed were dumped on the floor next to several empty bottles of Scotch. His books were thrown across the ground like he had been throwing a tantrum like a 5 year old child. A photo album of our pictures were on the ground, which made me believe he had looked through them and cried. Wow! I really hurt him!
I tried to not let the tears in my eyes fall down because if I started crying I would not be able to stop. I decided to get some food to eat but the fridge was empty. I poured myself a glass of water instead and decided to change into my regular clothes.
I opened my drawer in Ezra's closet. My clothes were in messy piles as if Ezra smelled my clothes while I was gone. I dug my hand underneath the pile in order to find a pair of shorts. Instead of finding shorts I found a book.
I took it out and stared at the brown cover. It looked like my diary but I knew it wasn't because it was thinner than mine. I flipped through the pages and came across an entry from last week. I was bored so I decided to read it.
Dear Diary
Ezra is totally believing me! I never knew he was so naive! I told Malcolm, Ezra is his dad and he believes me too! WOW! This is going to be easier that I thought.
Last week, I enrolled Malcolm in a karate class. And guess who is his teacher? Jake! Yes the high school boyfriend I was using to cheat on Ezra. The high school boyfriend who pressured my into sleeping with him and then got me pregnant. When I told Jake I was pregnant, he freaked out and never spoke to me again, therefore I had no choice but to lie to Ezra and tell him he was the one who knocked me up. Don't get me wrong, I do not like lying to him. But I desperately needed the money from his mother to support Malcolm.
When I met Jake last week, he asked me if Malcolm was his son. I told him it was Ezra's because I want to believe that too. Ezra is so sweet, loving and caring. If he stopped that fling he is having with that high school slut, he can finally be mine again. We would have a nice family together far away from Rosewood. I am hoping Aria gets fed up with dating a guy with a son and breaks up with him. Then, Ezra can truly be mine.
That's when I realized I had picked up Maggie's diary. I was so shocked by what I had just read. That bitch! How could she ever think of doing that to Ezra? I flipped through the diary and started reading the latest entry which was written the day Ezra and I broke up
Dear Diary
I am so fucking happy! Ezra and that child have finally broken up! Now, it is time to make my move on Ezra. Friday night, I will call Ezra over to my place to hang out with Malcolm. Over dinner, I will make him drink a lot of wine. I will send Malcolm to one of his friends houses for a sleepover so Ezra and I can have some time alone. Yay! I am soooooo happy!
That slut! I feel like killing her! Ezra needed to know the truth so I fetched my phone out of my handbag and decided to call him.
A/N- I have already written most of the next chapter so it will be up soon. In the next chapter you find out Ezra's decision.
