Epilogue

Ten years later...

Aria POV

It had been ten years since that faithful day, not exact but about. Today was the day I would get married. I am currently waiting on Hannah to help with my make-up. Spencer is with Jason and Emily and Jenna would come with Hannah.

You're probably wondering why Spencer is with Jason and not with me, and no it's not to keep him from running of. It's because they found out they were related. Two months after the incident Mr. Hastings, or Peter as we now call him explained that he was Jason's biological father. Apparently Mrs. D and him had an affair, resulting in Jason being born. They talked it out and Peter now plays a small part in Jason's life as a friend and advisor. Mr. D would always be his father and that wouldn't change because he was the man that raised him.

Spencer and Jason had gotten really close. They bonded over their weird parents, and that one they shared and found out they had quite a bit in common. Jason had asked her to be his best man and she had tearfully accepted. Jason still didn't have a lot of friends in this town but the ones he had were friends for life.

We haven't invited a lot of guest but there were probably going to be some wedding chrashers . Even now, 11 years after she went missing and 10 years after she was found we still dealt with the aftermath. People still stared and asked questions. Mostly who killed her but some accused me, or Jason, or the others. There are even some who are convinced she is still alive but has ran away, afraid as she was of some stalker. But that wasn't like Ali and we knew she was dead.

Hannah had broken up with Sean after she was crowned prom queen. She continued to rule the school of course, but she did so with an unlikely king. Caleb wasn't the nice, athletic kind of guy, he was a bad boy. At first we thought he was Hannah her rebound but after two months we could see how serious she was about him. Sean had been furious to be replaced by some foster family kid and had tried to win Hannah back. Well, right up until she told him she had slept with Caleb, he didn't want her back after that. They had gotten married two years back and were already trying for their first kid.

Spencer had surprised us as well, she had gotten together with Toby and was extremely happy. The usually overly perfect girl had given into her desires and even if her parents still weren't very happy with Toby, they were happy she was happy. She had gotten into the University of Pennsylvania and had gotten her diploma in law. She specialized in the weird cases nobody really wanted, she took them and she usually won as well. She and Toby weren't married yet but he had finally popped the question.

Emily was still going strong with Maya, even after her stay in True North. Pam had come to accept Emily and her sexual orientation after Emily had threatened to run away with Maya and never come back. That had changed Pam's mind rather quickly and she was now happy for her daughter. She and Maya would be getting married as soon as it was legal and wanted to adopt a child when they were ready.

Jenna had gotten reconstructive surgery for her eyes and was now able to see again. She had met a guy while away at college and they were still dating. He hadn't popped the question yet but we had a feeling he would soon. They were living together and he knew she had been blind for a while and that she could become blind again one day. He had promised to stick by her for the rest of their lives and he would haunt her if he died before her. They were a great couple and would stay together for a long time.

Mike had gotten back on the right path and was still in college. After the arrest he gone to see a psychologist to help him deal with his problems. Turns out Mike was feeling rather forgotten by our parents because of how focused they were on me.

I had seen Mr. Fitz only one time after the incident. That was the day of the trial. He had been sentenced to one week in prison and probation of 3 months should he contact me or my friends. Also if he acted badly he would get a longer sentence. He would never be allowed to teach again in the state of Pennsylvania which made me feel a lot better.

My parents were still going strong. They had had their fights about the past and the present but they were still together.

Everything had come together but as for me, I had gotten a degree in Art and Literature. Art being my major with a minor of literature. I was now an artist/ art teacher at Hollis. I really like my job and still enjoy it every day.

Jason POV

Today was the day, finally.

It had been a long way but me and Aria had made it. The fact that we were getting married today was amazing and the feeling indescribable. We had gotten so far in ten years.

The day I asked her to marry me was still fresh in my mind and the radiant smile she wore would never leave my memory.

Some days I was still surprised she was with me, that she was mine, but I wouldn't change it for anything and nobody could wreck it or take this from me. Aria would be there for me and I for her every step of the way, like we had been since we started dating.

She had been there for me when I found out about Peter. It was one of the biggest shocks in my entire life but I came through it unscathed and with more family. Spencer was one of the best little sisters a guy could ask for and I tried to be the best big brother I could be.

Melissa had been a bit more work. She had been furious with Peter for keeping it from them, not because she so badly wanted an older brother but because she hated being left out of the loop. The fact we had kissed once in the past only made it worse. Still she would be here today to support me and Aria in our marriage.

Melissa had finally found her perfect guy as well. Surprisingly not a lawyer or a big shot business man or something like that. The guy was a musician. Yeah didn't see that one coming did you? He treated her well though and she was happy.

Spencer came in and told me it was time. I walked to the front of the church and stood at the end of the aisle.

Just as I was standing Hannah came walking down the aisle, followed by Emily and Jenna. They looked great but my eyes were drawn to the beauty in white.

She looked amazing. The dress was tight in all the right places and her smile was so radiant. I couldn't look away and then she smiled at me. Our eyes locked and I knew that nothing would ever tear us apart. We would have a long and happy marriage no matter how many challenges would be in our way.

Ezra POV

It had been ten years since that fatal mistake. I would say that love makes blind but that would be a lie. I knew exactly what I was doing that day.

Now, ten years later, I was still regretting those decisions. Aria was a great girl and I had treated her so wrongly. When I found out she had a boyfriend I should have stopped and backed off. But I didn't and because of that I spend a week in prison and would never teach again.

That may just be my biggest regret, not teaching anymore. I may have fallen in love with a student but I also loved teaching them.

I had tried to move on but had found it hard. I knew she was getting married today and I can't help but feel envious of her husband to be. My mother had been setting me up with nice, high class society girls and I would probably marry one of them to appease my mother but I would never truly get over Aria.

Because even if I wasn't the love of her life she was the love of mine and that isn't easy to just forget.

I hope you liked the epilogue and sorry for the long wait I suffered a five day long migraine attack this week. To the guest reviewer that decided this was 'an absolute joke. Like honestly.' You can go to H-E double hockey sticks and F yourself. Who knows where that came from?

To the other two guest reviewers thank you for your kind words and the kisses from A. That's it I guess.

If you have a scene or something you'd like to read, review and tell me and I'll try to make it happen. Check out the other stories as well.

Love, Lilith
