ARIA...

We we're packing up Ezra's apartment when I came across a small shoe box that was under his bed. Pulling it out I started to think. was this always here cause I surely didn't remember? I started to open it up when Ezra and the girl's walked in and Ezra came running. He took the box away with frightful eyes, and told me don't look at that.

"What is it? I asked

"It's nothing, just somethings that I had to get rid of" He told me and walked away.

"Well, if it's nothing than let me look at it." I asked with pleading eyes "Please... please." I said and gave a little pout

"Girls" Ezra said and turned toward them " Will you please, leave for a couple of minutes" they nodded and left "Aria, I can't let you see what's in this box" he said not even looking at me.

"Why not?" I asked getting a little frustrated " what's in there, that you have to hide it under the bed?

Ezra looked at me and then closed his eyes "It's jackie's ring, and a few photo's of us." he opened it up and showed me the ring...

"Why do you still have it? I asked raising my voice in the process

"I don't know," he said and took a few steps toward me, but I also took a few steps back " I'm sorry, Aria"

I just shook my head " I have to go," I told him nearly in tears, but he grabbed my hand "Just leave me a lone, how could you hold something like that. Knowing you're in love with someone else?" I yelled and tried to take my hand back. "Are you still, holding onto some lost feelings for her or something?"

"No, Aria I'm in love with you and you know that" He yelled and just then Spencer, Emily and Hanna came running up the stairs.

"If you loved me you wouldn't have held on to things, that reminded you of your ex!" I yelled back still trying to take my hand back, but he pulled me toward him and wrapped me into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry Aria, please" I felt a wet drop fall onto my cheek, "I didn't lie to you, when I said I loved you!. I didn't lie to you when I said that I want to marry you!...

"I know," I took in a deep breath and pulled out of his embrace "But keeping, that ring is...like telling me your waiting for jackie to return to you. And I don't know if I can deal with that..." And I ran out of there, I just had to get away. I didn't know where I was going, I knew I still wanted to marry Ezra. I just wish he didn't keep that ring. It was like a slap in the face.

I was just walking down the street when a car pulled up, I thought it was the girls but it wasn't... It was Noël Kahn, and my heart just stopped. He was nothing but a trouble maker,

"Hey Aria," Noël said getting out of his car " how have you been doing?"

"Hey Noël, I"m great!" I told him and wish that was the end of it.

"So, I heard you're getting married to...I cut him off

"I know you don't want to hear about that, so you don't need to play nice with me Noël" I spat...

"Aria, I am nice" he took in a deep breath " I just didn't know what you saw in that guy, that's all."

I smiled to myself "I see everything you're not" Just as the word left my mouth Ezra pulled up pissed and full of anger...

"What the hell?" He yelled and slammed his car door "Get away from her Noël"

"I"m not in high school, so don't even try, Mr. Fritz" they had a little staring contest before I took hold of Ezra's hand and tugged him away...

"Enough! stop trying to be so macho," I told him and let go of his hand but he took it again.

"Aria, I'm really sorry I kept that box," Ezra sigh, "I guess you're right, apart of me always thought that Jackie and I would get together... But that was before I meant you."

"I don't want to hear anything you have to say about Jackie"

"Aria, what Jackie and I had...Is nothing compared to what You and I have!"

"Were always, fighting Ezra... And apart of me feels like I can't do this anymore"

"Aria... What are you saying?" Ezra asked as his voice started to shake.

"I don't know..." I sigh " It could just be this stupid hormones or my stubbornness But sometimes I feel like I'm losing you!"

"you're not losing me, I'm right here... always and forever" And Ezra kissed me, a sweet passionate, longing kiss. In which I returned... " I love you Aria!... Nothing Jackie do or say will change that."

"I love you too, Ezra." I kissed him again and pulled back "And I'm sorry for reacting the way I did."

"Yeah, it must be the hormones" he laughed and I playfully hit him in the arm.

Ezra...

As Aria ran out the door and left me standing in the apartment withthe girls, My mind was still trying to comprehend what was going on. One minute we're having a good time and the next were in a fight, all I knew was I'm not losing Aria for something so stupid... Just as I left I asked the girls to get rid of the box. I had no idea where Aria went but I knew I had to find her one way or the other. I just ended up on the main street, going toward the Montgomery house and that's when I saw Aria talking to Noel. A switch in me just flipped and I couldn't stand seeing her there with Noel, I just exploded. Until Aria pulled me aside and away from Noel.

After our little Make up session, we ended up back at the apartment to finish up what was left. And headed toward the new house. I still can't wrap my head around this, apart of me wants Aria to stay in rosewood and attend Hollis. But the other part wants Aria to go to NYU . Although in the end it's still Aria decision on where she wants to go, and if that's Hollis then Hollis is where she's going, I wont hold her back on that.

"Are you okay?" Aria asked as we were pulling into the driveway.

"Um... yeah I'm fine!" I told her and leaned over to give her a quick kiss, when I pulled back I gave her a smile and she lifted her eyebrow. "what?" I asked and opened the car door.

"Somethings wrong. And you're not telling" She told me and opened her door to get out.

"Aria?" I said and rubbed the back of my neck "Are you sure you want to go to Hollis?" I asked

"Of course..." she said without hesitation

"You do know, I'll follow you were ever you go. and if that's NYU..." she cut me off

"Ezra where is this coming from?" She took hold of my hands and push my hair out of my eyes "I love you and no matter where I go as long as I have you I'll be happy."

"I love you, Aria"

"I love you too, Ezra"

Aria...

"Okay mom, thanks"

"I love you to bye" I hung up the phone to find Ezra looking at me from the doorway.

"What?" I asked him and he made his way over toward me

"your beautiful, you know that?" and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"And your sweet, handsome and all the above" I smiled and gave him a peck.

when he pulled away he gave me a longing look, "I want to talk to you about something" he told me, and we sat on the bed.

"Okay? Should I be scared?" I asked giving him a confused look

"No, No it's not bad or anything like that" He smiled and took hold my hands " I would like to adopt Johnathan"

"Really?" I asked and gave him a kiss

"Yeah really..." Ezra replied as I pulled away

"I love you Ezra,"

"And I love you, all three of you" He smiled and rubbed my tummy

"I think we need to tell my family about the upcoming edition?"

"What do you think they'll say?"

"I don't know...But there's not much they can do about it"

I know, I keep going from fluff to drama and back to fluff again... But I'm coming into some major writers block with this story. So bare with me. Check out my other story if you haven't already "Aria needs help." Have a good week everyone. XOXO
