Aria's Pov:

When I woke up, I was on the couch. I looked over at the clock. It read 6:00 am.

Crap! I thought. It's morning already! What time did I fall asleep?

I sat up and noticed Mike was asleep in the chair across the room. I quietly got up, careful not to wake him, and went into the kitchen where I knew my mom would be. She was always up at this hour. I found her sitting at the table reading a book.

"Good morning sweetheart. I was just about to come get you and you brother up." she said when she saw me come in.

"Morning. What time did I fall asleep last night?"

"Around 10. You, Mike, and Ezra were watching a movie and you all fell asleep." She laughed. "It must have been pretty boring. I had to wake Ezra up and tell him to go home."

"Oh yeah, it's Monday…"

"Yeah, it is. Would you go get Mike up and tell him to get ready for school?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Oh and Ezra asked me to have you call him after school."

"Ok, thanks" I walked back into the living room where Mike was sleeping and tapped his shoulder. "Mike, time to get up for school, come on."

He got up, still only half awake, and we started up the stairs to get ready.

School was terrible. Somehow everyone had heard that me and the girls got taken into the police station for being caught with Ali's murder weapon. Everywhere I turned, someone was staring at me and/or whispering about me. When the last bell finally rung, we all went to hang out at the Grille. We went inside and got a table.

"Hey, I need to go call Ezra quick, I'll be right back, ok?"

"Ok, have fun talking to lover boy!" Hanna teased. I smiled and turned to walk away. I saw an empty table across the room with nobody around it. I went over, sat down, and dialed Ezra's number.

"Hey, babe" he said picking up the other end of the line.

"Hey" I said

"Did you sleep ok last night?"

"Yeah, I slept fine. I can't believe you left me sleeping on the couch and didn't even say goodbye!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you. I offered to take you upstairs, but your mom said not to worry about it."

"It's ok, I forgive you" I said jokingly.

"So, I was wondering if you would want to come over here for dinner tonight?"

"Yeah, sure." I said glancing over at the table where my friends sat. Sure enough, they were watching me, but looked away when I looked over at them. "Hey, I have to go. I'm at the Grille with the girls, but I'll be over in like an hour, ok?"

"Ok, can't wait!"

"I love you"

"I love you too, bye!"

"Bye" I hung up the phone and went back over to my table.

"So, do you have a date tonight?" Hanna teased.

"Actually, yes." I said "Well, if you consider dinner at his apartment a date. It's not like we can go anywhere."

"True" she replied.

"So did your mom calm down yet?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah, she did! Ezra was at the house all day yesterday and she totally approved."

"That's great, Aria!" Emily said.

"Yeah, how did you manage that one?" Hanna asked teasingly.

"I don't even know! I just woke up and she said to invite him over so she could apologize."

"Well, congratulations." Spencer said. She didn't sound too enthusiastic, but that was understandable. She was devastated over her break up with Toby and probably wondering why her parents wouldn't approve of him. I knew it was still a sore subject so I changed it to something else.

"So Han, have you talked to your dad?"

"No. He will probably never speak to me again."

"Don't say that." Emily said

"Em, I ruined his wedding."

"I know, but he's your dad. He is going to forgive you."

"I doubt it." she said gloomily.

"Well, you can't sit around blaming yourself" Spencer said. "We all know it was "A" even if you can't tell that to your dad."

"I guess. I just wish "A" would leave us alone already. Haven't we had enough?"

"I guess not" Emily said.

"I can't believe the stuff they made us do to get Dr. Sullivan back. That was by far the worst they have done. I mean, I had to blackmail Jackie, which Ezra might never forgive me for if he finds out, Hanna had to stop her dads wedding, Spencer had to break up with Toby, and Emily was almost killed. And then as if that's not bad enough, they frame us for murder. How much worse is this going to get?" I said.

"I don't know, Aria" Spencer said. "I guess you haven't had a chance to actually talk to Ezra about what happened the other night yet, huh. What are you going to tell him? Obviously you are going to have to say something considering we spent the night in the police station and you called him in tears."

"I haven't really thought about it." I said. "Should I tell him about "A"?"

"It's going to be risky" Emily said. " Everyone who has ever known or thought they known who "A" was has been put in danger. I'm thinking that the more people we tell, the worse it is going to get."

"Yeah, they could destroy your relationship." said Spencer.

"It's not like they haven't tried before, Spence. We've been through a lot, I just feel like I owe Ezra an explanation. And the truth. And that way, if he finds out about me blackmailing Jackie I will have a reason to tell him besides 'I was jealous of your ex-girlfriend'"

"That's true." Hanna said. "I think you need to tell him, Aria"

"I just think it might be easier that way. I hate lying to him."

"I guess your right" Emily said.

"I'll tell him when I go over there tonight. Speaking of that, I've got to go soon."

"Yeah, I've got to go meet Caleb anyways" Hanna said smiling. She always got that way when she talked about Caleb.

"So, what are you two going to do tonight?" Spencer asked.

"We are going to the movies." She said very enthusiastically.

"I'm jealous. I wish me and Ezra could come with." I said.

"Maybe someday" she said.
