Aria's POV
" We need medical help in room 309, one of the young men involved in the car accident just passed away." The nurse says into her device.
When I hear these dreadful words, I can literally feel my delicate heart shattering into a million pieces. A small whimper escapes my lips before I am crying hysterically. Jackie wraps her arms around my shaking body, while the nurse just stares at me unsure of what to do.
" Is the man who passed away Ezra Fitz?" Jackie asks trying to hold back tears.
" No, it is the drunk driver." The nurse tells us.
I gasp in relief. Ezra is still alive, there is still a slimmer of hope left for him.
" What is Ezra's condition like?" Jackie asks the nurse.
" He is still in a very critical condition. We don't know enough yet to determine whether or not he will survive. If he does survive we don't know what effect his injuries will have on him in the future." The nurse tells us.
" Can I please see him?" I ask the nurse weakly.
" I'm sorry but only immediate family can visit him at this time." The nurse tells me.
" His immediate family isn't in the picture." Jackie tells the nurse.
" Again, I'm sorry but you can't visit Ezra at this time. Besides, you need to rest." The nurse tells me as she leaves the room.
" She is right Aria. Get some sleep, I'll wake you up when your mom and dad get here." Jackie says.
" Okay." I say sadly as I being to drift off.
I am transported back to Rosewood. I am standing behind the Hastings's barn, which is the last place I ever saw Alison alive. I gasp in shock when I see Alison Dilaurentis standing in front of me smiling.
" Alison!" I cry out to her.
" Hey Aria!" She says back.
I run over to Allie and give her a big hug.
" I've missed you so much." I say sadly.
" I know you have. I'm sorry to say that I haven't missed you, I watch you and the girls every second of everyday." Alison tells me.
" You do?" I ask.
" Yes. I've seen everything you have been through with A, Noel, and all of your other little secrets." Alison says winking at me.
" Why are you just visiting me now?" I ask confused.
" Because you're close to breaking Aria. I need to talk some sense into you before it's to late." Alison tells me.
" Can you see Ezra?" I ask.
Alison gives me a slow nod.
" Is he okay?" I ask on the verge of tears.
" He is alive if that's what you are asking me." Alison answers.
" Will he stay alive?" I ask.
" I don't know, I can't predict the future." She answers.
" This is all my fault." I say crying.
" It's not your fault Aria." Alison comforts me.
" Yes it is. If I hadn't kissed Hardy, Ezra never wold have left the party and the drunk driver never would have collided with him." I tell Alison.
" I guess it is your fault." Alison tells me.
I begin to cry even more.
" I also blame your dad, if he hadn't made you leave Rosewood none of this would have happened. And what about Jackie, if she could hold onto her man Ezra would have never been in a relationship with you. Maybe if one of Ezra's friends would have caught him leaving the party they would have talked to him for a couple of minutes, then the drunk driver and Ezra wouldn't have ever been on the same lane. If Ezra's " best friend" wouldn't have kissed you he wouldn't be in the hospital. Another person whose to blame is the drunk driver. If he hadn't been driving under the influence Ezra would be fine." Alison tells me.
I stare at her for a minute before Alison begins to speak again.
" Do you see it now Aria? So many things could have prevented the accident, just like so many things could have prevented my death. I know you believe that both of these things are your fault, but you're wrong." Alison says to me.
" I don't know what I'll do if I lose Ezra. I've already lost my best friend, and now I might lose my boyfriend. I don't think I'm strong enough to go on." I say sadly.
" That's not true Aria. You're not a girl who is going to go down without a fight. In seventh grade I chose YOU to be my friend, because you are special Aria. You're strong, smart, and beautiful. You were all of these things before you had me or Ezra." Alison tells me.
" Thank you." I manage to say.
" You need to stop worrying about the past, there is nothing you can do to change it. Focus on changing your future, do everything in your power to make things right with Ezra." Alison encourages me.
" I will." I say hugging Alison.
" Goodbye Aria." She says.
" Wait, will I ever see you again?" I ask.
" Not in This lifetime. But I'll see you and I will always be with you and the girls. I will be watching when Hanna and Caleb walk down the aisle together, cheering when Emily wins an Olympic gold medal, smiling when Spencer graduates from law school, and reading when you publish your first novel." Alison says to me.
" I'll carry you with me wherever I go." I say to Alison.
" Good. Now go make things right." Alison says as she begins to walk away.
" Allie, wait!" I cry out.
" What Aria?" She asks.
" Goodbye, not forever but in this lifetime. Thank you for being my friend." I say before Alison vanishes.
Line Break
" Aria." I hear my dad's gentile voice say.
" Hey Dad." I say as I force myself awake.
" How are you doing baby?" He asks worriedly.
" Good. When can I see Ezra?" I ask.
" Let's focusing on getting you better first." He responds.
" The only thing that will make me better is seeing him." I tell my dad.
" Your mother and I will see what we can do." My dad says.
" Thank you." I say to him.
" By the way there is a young man outside who is begging to see you." My dad tells me.
" Who is it?" I ask curiously.
" He says his name is Hardy." My dad tells me.
The guilt and pain that once filled my body is now replaced with anger. What could Hardy want from me?
