Aria's POV
I wake up to Ezra sleeping quietly next to me. I wish I could stare at him forever, but we have a plane to catch. I wake him up with a gentle kiss on the lips.
" Aria." He groaned.
" Come on, you can sleep on the plane." I remind him.
" Yeah, but I can't do this." He says while he pulls me in for a long passionate kiss. " Last night was-"
" Amazing." I interrupt. " Now let's go so we don't miss our flight."
" Fine." He says and gets out of bed.
We arrive at the airport just on time. Luckily our flight is only an hour and a half, so we will have the rest of the day to spend in Rosewood. We board the plane and take our seats. Ezra is asleep before the plane even takes off. I decide to join him and I'm asleep in no time.
" I know what you did." A deep voice says.
I cannot identify who the voice belongs too.
" Who are you and what are you talking about." I ask nervously.
" I'm your worst nightmare." The voice replies.
" Noel?" I stutter nervously.
" That's right Aria. You shouldn't have come back you know. Not many people get out of Rosewood alive more than once." Noel says.
Jenna, Noel, and Mona are now standing in front of me. I now realize that my hands are tied behind my back.
" We want to make you pay for what you did." Jenna says.
I feel two hands gently shaking me.
" Aria, wake up!" Ezra whispers.
I let out a long sigh or relief when I realize it was all just a dream.
" Are you okay?" Ezra asks me.
" Yeah, I'm fine." I reply. " I'm so excited to introduce you to my family."
" I'm excited to meet them." Ezra says grinning nervously.
" They will love you." I assure him.
We get off the plane and retrieve our luggage. I turn around and see Mike waiting for me.
" MIKE!" I shout and run towards him. I give him and big hug and ask, " How are you feeling?"
" I'm actually doing a lot better. My healing process isn't taking nearly as long as the doctors thought it would. I'm so happy your here." Mike says pulling me in for another hug.
I realize that I had momentarily forgot about Ezra.
" Mike this is my boyfriend Ezra." I tell him.
" Hey man, it's so nice to finally meet you." Mike says shaking Ezra's hand.
" Likewise, Aria has told me so much about you." Ezra says.
" We should probably get going, Mom and Dad are waiting for us in the car." Mike says.
Mike leads us towards the parking lot, where my parents are waiting.
" Aria!" I hear my mom shout excitedly.
" Mom, Dad!" I say and hug them.
" I'm so happy you got here safely." My dad tells me.
" I'm so happy to be here!" I reply.
" This is Ezra, my um- boyfriend." I say nervously.
" It's so nice to finally meet you Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery." Ezra says extending him hand.
" It's nice to meet you Ezra." My dad replies.
" Aria has told us so much about you. She did however, forget to mention how cute you are." My mom tells him.
" Mom!" I say blushing.
Ezra smiles at me at laughs.
" Have you two eaten yet? We have lunch reservations at The Grill if you're hungry." My moms tells us.
" No we haven't. The grill sounds delicious." I reply.
The drive into Rosewood from the airport takes about half an hour. The realization that I am finally home just hit me. I stare out the window and look at all the familiar sites. I really hope that this trip is fun and A team free.
Ezra's POV
The drive into Rosewood is fairly quiet. After about half an hour, we pull into the restaurant parking lot. Aria's family seems very nice, but I'm super nervous. When we sit down the conversation starts.
" So Ezra, how old are you?" Byron asks me.
" I just turned twenty-one." I replied.
Byron looked surprised.
" Are you a senior?" Byron questions.
" Yes I am." I reply nervously.
" How did you two meet?" Ella asks us.
" We met at a coffee shop on the first day of school. He turned out to be in my creative writing class." Aria replied.
" I'm guessing you're a book nerd like Aria?" Mike teases.
" You could say that. I'm actually an English major." I tell Mike.
" Really?" Byron asks sounded interested. " What are you planning on doing after you graduate?"
" I would like to be an English professor, and focus on my writing." I reply.
" I actually am an English professor at Hollis, the local college." Byron informs me.
" Ezra is a straight A student." Aria tells her dad proudly.
" That's great, you won't have any trouble finding work after college." Byron says.
" I invited Hanna, Emily, and Spencer over for dinner." Ella tells Aria.
" Thank you so much! I'm so excited to see them." Aria says happily.
After lunch we drive to the Montgomery household. Aria shows me to the guest room and gives me time to settle in. I know that we need to go to the police about Noel. I'm just trying to think about a way to do it without causing any problems for Aria and her friends. The truth always comes out, sooner or later.
