Aria's POV
" Tell Hardy that I don't want him anywhere near me and Ezra." I say to my dad angrily.
" He seems very eager to see you." My dad says tentatively.
" I don't care, keep him away from me." I respond.
" Okay." My dad says as he kisses my forehead.
" Aria!" My mom says as she enters my hospital room.
" Hey Mom." I say weakly.
" You poor thing." She says as she wraps her loving arms around me.
" Have you heard anything about Ezra?" I ask nervously.
" No. I'm so sorry honey." She says sadly.
" It's okay. Do you know when I can leave this hospital room?" I ask.
" The doctor said you could leave in a couple of hours." My mom tells me.
" Thank God!" I say relieved.
" We are going to go get you some food, we will see you in a couple of hours." My dad tells me.
" Okay, I love you." I say as my parents leave my hospital room.
A couple of minutes later I hear someone entering my hospital room.
" Who's there?" I cry out fearfully.
I begin to panick when I don't get an answer. I can tell somebody is fiddling with the lock on my door. After a couple of seconds, the door opens.
" Hardy!" I say surprised.
" How are you feeling?" He asks concerned.
" Get out." I answer angrily.
" I need to talk to you." He argues.
" I said get out! If you're still here in 3 seconds I'm going to scream." I tell him.
" Aria come on." Hardy says annoyed.
I begin to count," One, two,..."
" What if I told you that I can help you see Ezra." Hardy says interrupting me.
" You can? I ask doubtfully.
" Yes, but first let me talk to you." Hardy answers.
" Fine." I say defeated.
" First of all let me just say that kissing you was way out of line." He says.
" Yeah, you're right about that." I say cooly.
" Ezra is my best friend and I never should have made a move on his girlfriend." Hardy tells me sadly.
" Why did you then?" I ask.
" You have to understand that we have been best friends since high school. Ezra and I use to do everything together, and then you came into his life. Ezra found this beautiful girl that is crazy about him, while I'm still jumping from girl to girl. I'll admit I was a little jealous. The day of Ezra's accident my girlfriend broke up with me, I really needed him and he was busy comforting you. I drank way to much at the party and lost all of my perspective. I didn't want to be the only person who was hurting and I thought kissing you would upset Ezra. Now he is seriously hurt and it's all my fault." Hardy says whilst a single tear rolls down his cheek.
"Hardy, it's not all your fault. I was drinking irresponsibly and I made the decision to kiss you back." I say sadly.
" I'm sorry I put you in that position." Hardy tells me.
" It's okay, I forgive you." I say.
" You really are an amazing girl Aria. I can see why Ezra is so crazy about you." He tells me.
" I doubt he is that crazy about me anymore." I say as tears begin to roll down my face.
" Ezra will forgive you, everything is going to be okay." Hardy says comforting me.
" I just wish I could see him." I explain.
" Jackie and I have been working on that. After hours of persuasion, Ezra's doctor agreed that it would be okay for you to visit Ezra." Hardy says grinning.
" Really, when!?" I ask excitedly.
" As soon as you decide to get out of your hospital bed!" Hardy tells me.
" Thank you so much!" I say as I give him a hug.
Hardy leaves me alone in my hospital room so I can change into the clothes my mom brought for me. When I walk out of the room, I catch Hardy and Jackie in the middle of a full on make-out session right here in the hospital.
" Umm guys." I say awkwardly.
Jackie immediately breaks the heated kiss and says, " Hey Aria."
I'm glad Ezra didn't have to witness that! As soon as the three of us get to Ezra's hospital room, an angry look washes over Hardy's face. I look up and see a couple a little older then my parents talking to Ezra's nurse. Hardy immediately leaves my side and charges over to where the couple is standing.
" Who are they?" I ask Jackie curiously.
" Those are Ezra's parents." Jackie says angrily.
" What the Hell are you doing here?" Hardy asks them angrily.
" Ezra is our son, we have the right to see him." Ezra's mom tells Hardy.
" You two lost that right after you practically disowned him! You two haven't been there for him at all these last couple of years. Where were you when he was being flown from a helicopter into this hospital!" Hardy yells furiously.
" Hardy, calm down." Jackie tells him.
" Thank you Jackie." Ezra's dad says.
" If you will excuse us, we are going to go see our son." Ezra's mom says rudely.
" No you aren't! Aria has been here waiting to see him since he was admitted into the hospital." Jackie says angrily.
" Are you Aria." Mr. Fitz asks me.
I nod my head shyly.
" She is Ezra's girlfriend. You know, the one that let Ezra stay with her over Christmas break because his own parents were to good for him." Hardy says hysterically.
Ezra's dad throws a hard punch at Hardy's face.
" Stop!" I yell angrily.
Ezra's angry dad is about to hit me, but luckily a security guard comes and grabs him before he is able to touch me. Both of Ezra's parents are immediately kicked out of the hospital.
" Are you okay?" Hardy asks concerned.
" I'm fine." I reply shaken.
A nurse approaches us and asks, "Are you here to see Ezra Fitz?"
" We are, can you please tell us what his condition is like?" Hardy asks.
" Ezra has a terrible concussion, and some swelling in his brain. Luckily he doesn't have any brain damage, but him memory of the accident might be a little shaky. He also has three broken ribs, and a very badly broken leg." The nurse tells us.
" He is going to be okay!" I say with tears rolling down my face.
" We have him in medically induced a coma so he won't feel a lot of pain." The nurse tells me.
The nurse walks us up to Ezra's room and opens the door.
" Aren't you coming?" I ask Hardy and Jackie when they remain in the hospital chairs.
" We can see him later, it's probably better for you to be alone." Hardy tells me.
" Are you sure?" I ask.
" Yes, now go!" Jackie tells me.
" Okay. Thank you two so much for everything." I say.
When I'm finally in Ezra's hospital room, I see his lifeless body connected to a bunch of tubes. Cuts and bruises cover his fragile body. Ezra usually seems so strong, seeing him in this condition really shocks me. I begin to sob uncontrollably as I walk over to his hospital bed.
" I'm so sorry." I whisper before I gently kiss his cheek.
I hover over Ezra and admire how peaceful he looks. All of the sudden I see Ezra's beautiful blue eyes flutter open.
" Ezra!" I cry out through my tears as I wrap my arms around him.
Ezra winces in pain at my touch.
" I'm so sorry." I say referring to the pain I caused him and my kiss with Hardy.
A boyish smile washes over Ezra's face.
" It's okay." Ezra says as he kisses me passionately.
" I've been so worried about you." I tell Ezra.
" Come lie down next to me." Ezra orders.
I lie on his hospital bed as he strokes my hair gently.
I see a few tears fall from his eyes.
" Are you in pain?" I ask worriedly.
" Yes, but that's not why I'm upset." He admits.
I know what's coming next, I'm going to have to beg Ezra for my forgiveness.
" I'm so sorry Aria." He tells me.
" What are you sorry for?" I ask genuinely confused.
" For getting in a car accident with you in the passenger seat! You could have been killed! I'm so happy you're safe. You aren't hurt are you?" Ezra asks me worriedly.
" What are you talking about? I wasn't in the car!" I tell Ezra.
" You weren't?" He asks confused.
" No, I was still at the party." I explain.
" Thank God!" Ezra says as he pulls me in for a kiss.
" What were you still doing at the party?" Ezra asks.
" You don't remember?" I ask nervously.
" The last thing I remember was picking you up from your apartment. I have a memory of being in a flipped car with blood everywhere, I saw your face before I blacked out." Ezra tells me.
Guilt overtakes my body. He doesn't remember me kissing Hardy!
" I love you so much." Ezra says interrupting my thoughts.
" I love you too. I promise I'm going to be there for you every day during your recovery, I'll take good care of you." I tell Ezra.
" Just stay here with me." Ezra says as we fall asleep intertwined with each other.
What do you all think? Ezra is finally awake! Should Aria tells him the truth about his accident? Please review!
