Credit for the idea in this chapter goes to the lovely Dani, aka LUCiANLOVERxox. She gave me the idea so I'm going to run with it and see where it goes. Thanks for all of your reviews, and if you have any suggestions, be sure to let me know :)

Aria's Pov:

It was Friday, and the day was dragging by slowly as it always did. I had last period study hall and nothing to do. I just wanted to get out of school. The only thing that was keeping me going was the text I received at lunch time from Ezra.

Meet me at my apartment after school is over. I have a surprise for you.

What could the surprise be? Why couldn't he just tell me? Trying to make time pass faster, I slept through the rest of study hall. I woke up just before the last bell and darted out of the room when it rang.

Ezra's Pov:

I was so nervous for Aria to come over. I honestly didn't know what she was going to say or how she would react to my "surprise". I've never made such a spontaneous decision before. I heard her knock at my door and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. When I opened the door, she looked so excited. I tried to act like I wasn't nervous.

"Hey!" she said with a huge smile across her face.

"Hey, how was school?"

"Boring as usual."

"Well hopefully this will cheer you up" I said handing her an envelope with two plane tickets inside.

"We're going to Miami? Ezra!"

She jumped into my arms, practically knocking me over in the process. She was beaming with excitement. All of my nerves went away with her reaction. But that only lasted for about 5 seconds until she let go of me. Her face changed to disappointment. My heart started to race again. She was going to say no.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"My parents are never going to let me go."

"Then we just won't tell them!" I suggested sarcastically, but she seemed to like that idea.

"That's perfect!"

"Aria, no. I was just kidding. You can't just run off with your boyfriend for the weekend without telling your parents. No matter how much I want you to."

"No, Ezra. It's a perfect plan!"

"Aria, I don't think-"

"Once we get on the plane, they aren't going to be able to do anything about it."

"Aria-"

"I'm not going to let my parents ruin the weekend you planned!"

I could tell she wasn't going to take no for an answer. She wanted this, and she knew that I did too. She also knew I wouldn't be able to say no to her.

"Fine, let's go, I'll take you to get a bag packed."

"Yay!" she squealed hugging me once again. I couldn't help but smile too. I loved seeing her so happy.

Aria's Pov:

I knew my parents wouldn't be home because they were both still at work, but I was nervous about going to the house to get my stuff. I darted up the stairs faster than I ever have in my whole life. I started throwing clothes into my suitcase. I didn't even know what I was packing. I went to the bathroom and grabbed everything I needed in there, shoving it in the bag as well. It wasn't until I was on my way back out to the car that I realized I was shaking. I was terrified of my parents catching us before we left. I didn't care if I was in trouble when I got home, but they couldn't catch us before we even got to leave. I know the consequences of being in this relationship and Ezra and I both decided we were willing to take risks. We were doing this, no looking back. If I get punished when I get home, then fine.

"You ready to go?" Ezra asked when I got to the car.

"Yeah"

"Alright, let's go then. Are you sure about this?"

"I am 100% sure."

I hoped he wouldn't notice how shaky and nervous I was. He pulled away from my house and started to drive. As he was about to turn the corner at the end of my street, I looked back to see my mom's car pulling into the driveway. That was a close one. I knew she would be calling me soon to find out where I was. I honestly didn't know what to tell her. Should I have the girls cover for me? That might be tricky for the whole weekend. And she would suspect that I was with Ezra anyways. Should I just tell her then? I guess I would have to.

We got to the airport around 5:00. Our flight wasn't scheduled to leave until 7:30, so we had a while to wait. I just need the girls to cover for me long enough to get on the plane. After we got through security to the area where we had to wait, I pulled out my phone.

"Hanna, listen. I need you to cover for me just for a little while."

"Why? Where are you?"

"I'm with Ezra."

"Oh, I thought you said your mom was ok with that now!"

"We aren't exactly at his apartment, Han. We're going to Miami for the weekend."

"Oh! How come you didn't tell me?"

"I just found out. I just need you to cover for me long enough for us to get on the plane and leave. Then I'm going to tell her where we are."

"Ok, I can do that."

"Thanks Han, you're the best."

"I know" she said right before hanging up her end of the line.

Ezra's Pov:

Only a few minutes after Aria hung up the phone with Hanna, her phone started to ring. I knew it had to be her mom because she got up and walked away before answering it. She seemed just as nervous as I was about this whole thing. I still wasn't sure how I felt about it. If I knew she would insist on not telling her parents until after we left, I never would have planned the trip at all. I just gained Ella and Byron's trust back; I didn't want to lose it again.

"I thought she was never going to stop asking questions." Aria said when she returned.

"What did you tell her?"

"Just that I was going to be over at Hanna's for a while, but she sounded like she didn't believe me. She probably thinks I'm at your apartment or something. I just hope she doesn't go over to Hanna's."

"Yeah, I hope not too." I lied. Part of me sort of wanted us to get caught so we wouldn't get into as much trouble. I didn't want to lose Aria after everything we have been through to get this far.
