Aria...

It's been almost a week and I still hadn't talked to Ezra, I know he's upset of the whole Jason thing, But it's not like I wasn't going to tell him I just needed time. And now I just don't know anymore. I know he's still around cause my dad seen him around campus, but he also said he's distant. I just wish he would forgive me for not telling him about Jason.

When he left that day in the park, my heart just shattered it was like I was losing my other half, and in a way I did. I guess this is how Ezra felt when, I walked out on him over the Jackie thing. I just wish he would talk to me...

Ezra...

There were so many thoughts running through my mind, but the main one was that Aria didn't tell me about Jason. I'm not upset that she had a Kid, cause we weren't together at the time,well weren't together when she and Jason hooked up, but I always thought of Jason as a threat and now it's like I have a bigger competition, I know Aria loves me and I love her too. With every fiber of my body. But I can't help but think that Jason and Aria will always have a bigger connection cause of Johnathan, and of course at some point Aria is going to have to tell Jason about his son. I know I said she shouldn't tell him but that was just me being stupid, of course she should tell him. It's his child too.

I've seen Byron, around Hollis and I tried so hard to just keep my distant, until he showed up in my office one afternoon. The conversation we had was almost like a father to son, and I couldn't be more grateful. I know I can't blame Aria for keeping Johnathan a secret from me, it just hurt that she didn't tell me about Jason.

Aria...

"Thanks,again mom" I said as I grab my car keys and made my way toward the door.

"Aria, it's not a problem" Ella, said walking with Johnathan toward the door where Aria stood. " just have fun and unwind a little okay. Tell the girls I said Hi,"

"Bye baby, I'll see you in a couple of hours okay" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek

"I love you, mommy." Johnathan said hugging my leg

I smiled as I replied " I love you too, baby" and gave him one last hug and walked out the door.

As I made my way to the grill, I just couldn't stop thinking on how things got so screwed up, and I just wish everything was back to normal. Maybe if I told Ezra everything in the beginning of the relationship things wouldn't have turned out this way and we would be together. As I was making my way toward the grill I saw that spencer, Hannah, and Emily was already here. So I put on a fake smile and walked in.

"hey guys," I said as I took a seat next to Emily

"How are you" Spencer asked first

"I'm okay, getting by I guess" I replied

"you're lying, Aria" Hanna said as she took a sip of her coffee, "Ezra, still didn't make contact with you yet, and it's killing you, I can see it

"Hanna, please not now" I replied "I just want to hang out with my girls and have fun for a couple of hours, is that so much to ask"

"Aria, We love you, you just have to give Ezra some time." Spencer said of course she was the one to never let things go, always digging for more.

"You know what" I said getting frustrated "I'm leaving, I can't handle this anymore. I'm going to just walk around" I said and got up.

"Aria, you can talk to us, you know that" Emily said as she put a hand on my arm to stop me and I just pulled away from her.

"I know," is all I said and I left the coffee shop.

Ezra...

I walked into the coffee shop to find Spencer, Emily and Hannah they're looking at me like I committed murder, just the glare from Hannah is deadly.

"Hey, Girls" I said as I made my way to the counter with a fake smile on my face

"Ezra, How are you," Spencer said but I think she was just trying to be nice

"I'm Okay" I replied and paid for my drink

"That's funny," Emily laughed

"what's funny," I asked

"Aria, just said the same thing. And she was lying" Hanna said "And I can tell by just looking at how uncomfortable you are, by just standing there that you're lying too." why can't either of you just tell the truth"

"Hannah, please not now okay" I said and took my coffee from the counter and started to walk out the door until I heard spencer yell out my name, so I turned around.

"What" I said

"Aria, said the same thing, when Hannah said she was lying and she rushed out of the coffee shop, just like you're doing now. Only 20 minutes ago." Spencer smiled

"Yeah, its like you're one in the same and if you're still mad about the Jason thing, Just think about how she felt when you didn't tell her about the Jackie thing." Hannah smirked

Just as Hannah finished her statement something in me just Dinged, and I knew she was right.

"Thanks, Girls" I said and walked to my car.

I knew I had to talk to Aria, and I just hoped that she'll forgive me for storming off the way I did, at the park. I guess we are one in the same, she is my soul mate. And I do love her. The thing with Jackie was different, I couldn't man up and tell Aria that I was once engaged, and that Jackie will be working at Hollis. She had to find out by accidentally knocking over my laptop and finding a picture of the two of us. And then later finding out she worked at Hollis at the faculty mixer at her house later that week. I'm such a fool, "I love Aria", and Jason or not she is the one for me.

As I parked my car I took in a deep breath, here goes nothing and I rang the door bell to the Montgomery house hold. Not even a minute later Ella opened the door.

"Ezra, what are you doing here" she asked confused that I was standing at her door step

"I'm looking for Aria," I replied as she let me in

"Aria's not here, but you're welcome to wait if you want" She said

"Yes, thank you" I told her and followed her into the kitchen, it looked like she was making dinner. It smelled really good

"Grandma, Ella" Johnathan said running into the kitchen "Look what I made, it's a picture of me and mommy.

"That's very nice, Johnathan" Ella said and took the picture from his hand to get a better look at it, just then she smiled and turn to Ezra.

"Say, Hi to Ezra, John"

"Hi, you're the guy from the park right, the one with my mommy..."Johnathan asked

"yes, I am," I replied to his question

"Do you like my mommy,"

"No", I answered "I love you're mommy, very much"

Johnathan looked at me confused "Then why you ran away, the day at the park"

"Well"... I was cut off by Ella

"Johnathan, why don't you go in the living room and play for a bit. Mommy should be back soon okay" Ella said and handed him his toy car

"Thanks, Ella" I said and gave her one of my boyish smiles

"No, problem Ezra." Ella replied and returned the smile

we grew in silence as I watched Johnathan from the kitchen playing with his toys in the living room, he was something else. He doesn't look a thing like Jason, it's hard to believe that that was Jason's son in there, If anything he carried every feature of Aria, All I could do was smile at the thought...

"Are you okay, Ezra" Ella asked breaking the silence

"Yeah, I'm just thinking,"

"Oh, care to share" she asked

I took in a deep breath and nodded my head "Johnathan, looks so much like Aria. It's kind of had to believe that he's Jason's son too."

"Yeah, he does." she nodded " Look, Ezra I know that You and Jason don't like each other. And you running off that day in the park was just out of pure shock. But Aria loves you, She would never do anything to intentional hurt you. I hope you see that"

I just nodded my head, and turn my attention toward Johnathan once again. "I love Aria, and I know she wouldn't do anything to hurt me." I said and looked toward Ella again "And I hope she can forgive me for running off the way I did. I guess I was jealous, and thought that Aria and Jason would always have a bigger connection than, Aria and I."

Ella opened her mouth to speak when some one came through the door...

Aria...

I ended up just walking around the block and back to my car, I couldn't help but think that the way I'm feeling now, is the way Ezra felt when I didn't return any of his calls. I pulled into the drive way and parked my car.

"Mom, I'm home" I yelled as I closed the front door and made my way in the living room, and picked up Johnathan

"In the kitchen" Ella yelled

"Ezra, I said as I entered the kitchen and put my son back on the floor

"Hey, Aria can we talk please"

"I'm going to give Johnathan a bath, okay" my mom said and took Johnathan upstairs

"I'm sorry" we both said at the same time

"No, Ezra I'm sorry." I told him and took a seat next to him at the table "I'm sorry that I've never told you about Jason and I...

"No, I'm sorry" Ezra cut her off "I'm sorry for running off the way that I did, it's just that I don't care that you had a kid with someone else, I was okay with that. It's when you told me that the father was Jason, I guess I got Jealous and thought that you and Jason would always have something together and I couldn't take that"

"Ezra," I said but he cut me off again

"let me finish, please" I nodded my head and he continued..." I love you, Aria and I can't live my life without you...You are my other half and I want us to become a family, me you and Johnathan. I promise I'll treat him as if he was my own...

"What are you saying," I smiled and he took my hands

"Aria, I want to marry you, I want a family with you." I watched as Ezra got down on one knee and took out the ring from his coat pocket.

"I've been holding on to this for a while now" Ezra smiled "Aria, I love you with all my heart, I want us to become a family together. Please will you marry me"
