Here is chapter 3, I'm not completely sure where I'm going with this… Please comment.
I woke up and realized I wasn't at home. I looked around to see myself lying on the couch. I had a blanket gently placed over me. I sat up and realized I had stayed overnight in Ezra's apartment.. What have I done! I asked myself. Whatever happened to staying strong? I lay back down feeling tired and defeated.
"I tried to come back you know," I heard Ezra say beside me, "I wasn't allowed near Rosewood for a long time. I emailed you, I called you, I texted you… but nothing."
I felt guilty as I remembered that after A I changed my phone number and email to keep out all the phony A's.
"I eventually gave up, figuring you had nothing to do with me," Ezra continued, "Then I found an old newspaper in the trash and read about A. I read about some of what you had to go through. I had to come back, no matter what the risk. I had to make sure that you were okay. The only reason I ever got your number is because Hanna saw me yesterday at the mall."
"It's late now though," I said sadly, realizing even more how much I had missed him, "I have a boyfriend that even though I care about you more, I still care about. And what will happen after that, are you even allowed to ever see me again? And how would I tell my parents? Mom, I'm dating Ezra Fitz my old English teacher. Just to let you know. I wonder how they would take that."
"Aria, I don't want you to have to do anything you don't want to but just know that I will be here if you want to get back together."
"Of course I want to get back together. I just don't want to have to sneak around anymore, but I don't know how we can make this work without sneaking around."
"I know how you feel."
"I will see you Ezra, even if we have to sneak around at first, we will make it work. But I will eventually tell my parents."
"What about Noel? You are dating aren't you?"
"I will have to find a way to break up with him."
Ezra and I started to kiss but then we were interrupted by my cell phone ringing. I grabbed it and realized it was Noel. I can't talk to him right now I told myself. I'll call him later. I hit ignore. My phone buzzed again and I saw this time it was Spencer. I slid it open and answered.
"Hey Spence."
"Where are you? We stood outside the door for like an hour and…"
"An hour?"
"Fine like, 5 minutes."
"Uhuh"
"Your parents asked where you were, currently you are at my house, you're welcome by the way." Another voice said through the phone."
"Hey Han, I'm guessing Em is there too."
"Hey Aria," Emily said through the phone, "by the way Noel has called us each like ten times wondering where you are."
"Great, well I guess I should leave then, be at Hanna's house in….." I answered
"He called me eleven," Hanna interrupted.
"Whatever Hanna," Spencer said.
"See you soon Aria." Emily said, then with a click they were gone.
