Aria continued walking with no destination in mind. She didn't stop until she found an open patch of grass where she knew Ezra wouldn't be able to find her. She fell to the ground as tears flowed down her face. She let out a heart wrenching sob as she curled her knees up to her chest and cried until she had no tears left to shed.

Ezra:

After Aria slammed the door shut Ezra didn't know what to do. He didn't know whether to follow her or not. He decided not to do anything. He sat in his car parked on the side of the road. His and Aria's previous conversation kept replaying over and over again in his head. He felt his phone vibrate with messages from his father, mother, and sister. They were all texts concerning where he and Aria were, but Ezra ignored them. He sat there for hours before he heard a knock on his car window. He rolled down the window, surprised to see his parents on the other side.

"What's happened? Where's Aria?" Julie asked, her voice full of worry.

"I don't know." Ezra replied quietly.

"Ezra are you serious? How could you let this happen? She's all alone, its almost dark, it's getting cold, and she doesn't know her way around here! Where did you see her last? Julie asked.

"When we got into a fight and she left." Ezra said.

"Fine Ezra, be stupid, we all thought you loved her, but I guess not. We will be looking for her whether you want to come or not." Julie said before she walked off in the direction of Arias door. Everyone but Ezra got out of their cars and followed Julie.

After about ten minutes Ezra got out of his car walked in the same direction of his family. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed up Aria's number.

Aria:

It was raining now and it was getting colder by the second. Aria shivered in her sleep.

Ezra's family:

They walked up a big hill. When one looked down there was a big meadow. Ezra's father quickly spotted Aria. She was lying asleep in the grass. Her body was shaking. When they got closer to her, Ezra raced down towards her, calling out her name.

Normal:

When he finally reached Aria, he lightly shook her awake.

"Ezra." Aria said weakly as her eyes began to flutter open.

Arias clothes were soaked, but Ezra removed his jacket and draped it around Aria's shoulders. Ezra's parents stood and watched from a distance. "Aria, sweetheart, you're okay, I'm here now." Ezra assured her as he took her into his arms. Aria didn't object as he carried her back to the car. Ezra's sister drove Ezra's car home while he sat in the backseat with Aria wrapped in his arms protectively. When they got to the house it was late but Ezra needed to talk to Aria before she ran off again. When they got into the house Aria ran upstairs to change because she knew Ezra was going to yell at her again or just not talk to her again. Aria changed into a pair of sweat pants and a sports bra. She began to look for a clean shirt but couldn't fine one. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Ezra standing at the door.

"Aria, you know you can wear a shirt of mine." Ezra said.

"Yeah I know." Ezra walked over to his suitcase and pulled out a Hollis t-shirt and handed it to Aria. She pulled it over her head and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Aria, both you and I know that we need to talk." Ezra began.

"Ezra it's late, please can we talk about it in the morning? I just wanna hop in bed and sleep. I've had a long day." Aria replied.

"As long as I can lay with you I'm fine with that." Ezra said.

"Ezra... I don't get why you would want to lay with me. You didn't care when I ran off, when it started to rain, you probably wouldn't have come unless your family did first. I was just trying to help you feel better, you used to tell me everything and now I only get screamed explications from you, you won't even hold my hand anymore, you only cared when you thought I was hurt." Aria revealed.

"Aria I'm sorry, you know that you mean the world to me. It's just hard taking all of this in. Aria my dad has cancer, and I'm scared out of my mind. I don't mean to overreact I just do and I want nothing more that to just get all of this over with." Ezra said.

"But Ezra you don't realize that you're not going through this alone and I'm just trying to help." Aria told him.

"I know that now Aria, I do, and I promise to think about what I do before I do it from now on. I don't want to lose you."

"Ezra your not going to lose me, you couldn't if you tried. Can we please go to bed now? I'm exhausted." She yawned.

"Sure." Aria climbed into bed and Ezra climbed in beside her but he didn't wrap his arms around her.

"Ezra I'm cold."

Ezra put his arms around her and pulled her into his chest.

"Better?" Ezra asked.

"Perfect." She replied. He and Aria quickly fell into a deep sleep, with things finally feeling as if they were back to normal.
