Aria dropped to the floor at that same moment. Things began to get hazy, before she completely blacked out, again. She heard voices all around her, and visions to. They swirled together in a blurry light. Everyone began to panic. Ezra rushed to Aria and lifted her into his arms. Ella opened her mouth to protest, but shut it again when she saw his intention. He carried her into bed and began to pull the covers over, when a hand swatted him away. "Haven't you done enough!" She cautioned, fiercely. He stepped back, not knowing what to do. As Ella pulled the pale blue sheet over her daughters unconscious body, until it reached her chin. Ezra couldn't help himself, as Ella moved to the other side of the bed; he walked back to Aria's side. He took hold of her hand and gently began stroking her hair, and smiled weakly at her. He could feel the cold look he was receiving from Ella, and finally found the courage to look her in the eye. He turned his head away from Aria and stopped stroking her hair, but continually holding her hand. "I am not proud of what I have done Ella, but-" He was cut of mid sentence. "Don't you dare tell me how 'sorry' you are! How dare you even call me Ella! You should never have come here! I suggest you leave, NOW!" Ezra felt hurt by the things she had said but got up from his seat all the same. He walked toward the door, but turned back to Ella and Aria, as he reached the doorframe. "Mrs. Montgomery, you know your daughter, more than I do and more than I ever will. I haven't known her long, but I know she makes her own decisions. She and I are not in the best of situations, but isn't love more important than age?" He whispered, barely loud enough for Ella to hear. She nodded and turned back to Aria, clutching her hand tightly.
Aria opened her eyes, by now she was use to the light flooding through her window and directly into her eyes. Her Mom's head was slumped over the bed; still half sitting in her chair, with Arias hand in hers. Aria tried not to wake her as she crept out of her bed, reaching her phone on the nightstand as she sis so, and walked into the bathroom, locking the door. She unlocked it and checked her messages. 7 new texts. She scrolled down through the list, Hanna, Noel, Emily, Spencer, Mom, Dad and…A. She cautiously opened the message, her hands slightly shaking "Well, well well! Looks like Aria has a big mess to clean up! Shame I can't help! Or can I... _- A" The sleek black phone slipped through her fingers and hit the tiles below with grace. It had broken into 3 peaces. Aria didn't car, she didn't even look down and check the damage. What else did A know?
A knock at the door made the girl in the hospital dressing gown jump. Her black, silky curls bounced on her shoulders as the knock was followed by a voice. "Aria, Honey? Can we talk please?" Ella was joined in a chorus of voices after that. "Aria! Seriously! Come on, your not three years old anymore! Unlock the stupid door!" Said a voice, she recognized belonging to Hanna. "Aria! Are you ok? Come out, please. We missed you!" Emily always spoke kindly, thought Aria. "So what, your just gonna stay cooped up in a bathroom all day!" Said an annoyed and impatient, Spencer. She laughed and unlocked the door, uniting the four girls in a hug as Ella watched, leaning against the doorway, with a wary smile on her lips.
After her friends where shooed off by the nurses, Aria was alone. She felt terrible that she couldn't remember who A was. She knew she was letting her friends down. And then there was Ezra. She though of nothing but him, for what seemed like hours. She wept silently, while the nurses swept by her and filled her with pain relief. But nothing could take away the real pain. The pain of your heart being ripped from your chest, and by someone you love. Her Mom was right. Aria knew that, but she also knew love. She had tasted it every minute she was with him and she sipped more and more each time they kissed. Something she could never take back, not that she would want that though. And then she remembered, that night in the car. The words he had spoken, and she had not given an answer! She felt so ashamed. She rummaged for her phone all around her room. It was nowhere to be found. She remembered dropping it, and the shattering into three peaces. She searched everywhere, but her phone was nowhere to be found. Aria climbed back into bed and pulled the covers over. She then noticed a white envelope, sticking out from under her pillow; an A was marked on the front written in red lipstick. She broke the seal and found a card with a picture of a teddy bear on it. The letters across his stomach read SORRY, in large rainbow letters. She opened it to discover a message "Sorry about losing my temper, just don't cross me again. Or next time, it will be worse – A" Aria lent against the pillow and wept, her tears staining her face as the rolled down her cheeks, on to the pillow.
What will A do next! And how will Ezra and Aria reunite, will they reunite? OH NO! Anyway, hope all of my reviewers (and readers) are having a brilliant time reading these. Hope you have as much fun as I do writing them anyways, you know the drill! I'm setting a target this time though! 25 reviews and then a new post! Enjoy my fans ps. Like the smiles!
