Ahh, hi everyone! I hope you all didn't forget about this story! Please please enjoy this. If you all want to know why I haven't undated in forever just PM me, I don't really wanna explain all of it right here because I'm sure all you want to do is read this chapter, which is long overdue. It's Spring Break though, so hopefully you'll see another update fairly soon!

What Happens in Rosewood, Stays in Rosewood
Chapter 4: You're boyfriend?
"Ezra, Ezra Fitz." She typed away on the keyboard and her eyes grew wide. She stood up and walked around the counter to the front, "Honey, I'll be right back, okay?" Her tone had changed drastically, and all of the sudden I could hear remoarse in her voice. She turned swiftly and walked through the double doors that led to the ER, leaving me standing here confused as anything and scarred as hell as to what she was doing and most importantly what she was going to tell me.
A few minutes went by, but it felt like the longest time of my life until the older lady came back through the E.R. doors followed by a doctor. "Miss?" She obviously had forgotten my name, not that I cared what the hell she called me right now. I nodded as the doctor stepped forward and the red-haired receptionist took her seat again behind the desk, leaving me standing with him.
"You Ezra Fitz's family member?" He asked me, running his hand through his shaggy blonde hair. He looked young for a doctor, and I hoped that he knew what he was actually doing. His blue-eyes complemented his hair and he was actually really attractive. I'd instantly lost my train of thought, but I guess he'd taking my silence as a 'yes.'
He turned for the double doors that led into the Emergency Room, saying, "Follow me." The doors shut behind us and a long white hallway lay ahead.
"I'm assuming you're his sister, correct?"
I paused, debating what I should say, "No." He stopped, asking, "Well you're obviously not his mom, so he's your..."
"...Boyfriend." I finished his sentence.
A small 'o' formed on his lips, but he continued walking. We passed the sign leading to the E.R. and I had a million questions running through my head. Thank God he filled the silence and began to answer the many questions I had running through my head.
"First, let me introduce myself, I'm Doctor James DeGrillo. I was first called when Mr. Fitz was brought into the ER a few hours ago. His injuries aren't life threatening but they aren't anything to take lightly either. He had multiple lacerations, a burst appendix, and a few broken ribs. We don't suspect the accident caused the appendix to burst, that was probably the reason he was coming here in the first place. Had he mentioned anything to you? A pain in his stomach, anything out of the ordinary?"
I took a deep breath, processing the information. "Yeah, he told me earlier he had a shooting pain in his stomach." I really wasn't in the mood to answer any of this guys questions, and all I wanted to do was see Ezra.
"Well, Ms..." He paused, not knowing how to address me.
"Montgomery, Aria Montgomery."
"Ms. Montgomery, Ezra just got out of an emergency appendix removal surgery, so he should be waking up soon." We stopped towards the end of the hallway, in front of a door to a room that was shut. "Do you want to call anyone else that should know what is going on before we go in?" I nodded.
"Yea, I should probably call our babysitter."
He shook his head, chuckling slightly, "Oh, yea tell the family you can't babysit today, you're boyfriend is much more important."
"Oh no, I'm not a babysitter..." My puzzled face must have confused him a little.
He rubbed his hand on his chin, "I'm not really following you then..."
"I need to call OUR babysitter." I put an emphasize on 'our', hoping he would get what I meant because I really was not in the mood to explain anything.
"You and Mr. Fitz have a babysitter?" He looked like a dumb shit right now asking me this question.
I was frustrated and quickly said, "No, no, Our babysitter, who is watching our daughter during the day until I'm done school."
I could see the judgement quickly scroll across his face while I dialed Autumn's number. I explained to her what I knew and she was more then willing to stay with Hayden until my mom or I could get there to relieve her. I hung up and then sent a quick message to my mom again explaining what I knew while promising to update her when I knew more and had actually seen him.
Doctor DeGrillo scratched the back of his neck looking a little uncomfortable, before saying, "So how old is she?"
I rolled my eyes, "Please don't act like you're actually interested. All I want to do is see my boyfriend so I knew he's alright."
He shook his head, "Oh no, I'm just curious. Really."
My eyes got wide, "I'm sure you are. There's also probably a million judge mental things running through your pretty head right now, isn't there?"
His shocked expression said all I needed to know. "Mhmm, thats what I thought." I pushed by him to the door leading to Ezra's room, "This is his room right." WHen he didn't reply I opened the door slowly, kind of afraid of what was awaiting me on the other side. I was never and have never been someone that does good in these kind of situations. I pretend like I'm not scarred when I'm actually scarred shitless and just can't admit it.
Two beds sat in the room, each with a curtain wrapped around them. I could see through the first slot in the curtain a middle aged women sitting with a girl around my age. A man that looked to be my dad's age laid in the bed, talking quietly with them. They noticed my entrance and gave me an acknowledging nod. I know I should have been a little quicker walking to his bed but seeing him laying there hooked up to IV's and all those wires made my heart stop a little and froze me in my tracks.
His dreary eyes noticed me, and a small smile shown across his pain stricken face. "Baby..." His voice was soft and I tried to wipe away the tears that were quickly forming in my eyes. I gently sat down on the edge of his bed and kept trying to pull myself together before fully looking him in the eyes. His hand found mine and he gave me a reassuring squeeze. God, what an awful girlfriend I was. My boyfriend was in the hospital and just got out of surgery and here he was comforting me.
"Hey.. don't cry. I'm alright, Im alright." His voice was quiet but reassuring. I tried to say something but I couldn't seem to find the right words.
"I love you." I whispered, voice quivering.
He closed his eyes, before reopening them, "I love you so much more."
My eyes welled with tears, "I thought... I didn't... they called me...and.. and.." He squeezed my hand again, "I'm alright Aria, it's all going to be alright."
