The Burial

Once everyone was out of the church, Ezra and his family members carried Ezra's father's coffin away, leaving Aria alone.

She was standing alone, with tears falling down her face. She felt her legs get weak. As Ezra walked by carrying the casket, he glanced at Aria as he kept walking. He couldn't stop thinking about the fact that he was never going to see his father again, as he set the casket down onto the ground.

Ezra walked over to Aria and put his arm around her. If he had waited five more seconds, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Ezra, My shoulder." Aria cried.

"It will be over soon." Ezra assured her.

Some of the stitches were coming out and she was bleeding really badly. Aria felt light headed.

"Ezra" Aria said as she fell to the ground. She closed her eyes as she felt darkness take over her body.

Byron picked Aria up and carried her out of the sun. Ella and Ezra stayed near the burial.

Byron took Aria into the church and put a towel on her forehead. A wet cloth was placed over her forehead.

Aria's eyes began to flutter open. "Ezra?"

"Aria... Ezra is still at the burial." Byron said.

"What? Why didn't he come?" Aria asked in a panicked voice. "Aria, sweetheart, calm down... It's his father's funeral... You know he loves you... But he needed to be with his family." Byron said.

Aria remained silent.

"Aria we need to take you to the hospital, would you like to wait for Ezra?"

Aria quickly shook her head no.

Aria was sitting in the back of the car with her head on her mothers lap, her eyes closed as she thought about Ezra. They arrived at the hospital and as the doctor was removing the towel full of blood from Aria's shoulder, she screamed out in pain.

Aria needed Ezra. But he wasn't there. Once they had the towel they carefully wiped off most of the blood. They were putting in the needle to redo the stitches and Aria cried. When they were done they hooked Aria up to an I.V., with more blood because she had lost so much. A little bit later Aria had fallen asleep. The funeral had ended and Ezra went home to his house. He totally forgot about Aria and fell asleep on his bed. Aria's mom had been calling him non stop because Aria needed him so badly. She needed him with her.

Ezra didn't have his phone with him in the room. He woke up half an hour later. When we went to get his phone he had 14 missed calls and 8 texts, all from Ella. They all said, "You need to come to the hospital!" or "What are you waiting for? The funeral is over and Aria's in the hospital, and you're not here? What's going on?" Ezra got in his car and right away drove to the hospital.

Aria was awake. As they were signing the discharge papers, Ezra walked in. Arias eyes met his. She looked away seconds later. Ezra walked toward her.

"Aria I'm so sorry."

"Ezra stop. Don't worry about it. I'm fine. Lets just go home." She said without another word.

They drove home in silence. When they got to the house. Aria walked went to the fridge to grab an ice back. She laid down on the couch but Ella intervened.

"Aria, the bed would be much more comfortable." She said.

"I'm not going up there unless you carry me." Ezra went to Aria's side. She put her arm around his neck as he held her in his arms. When they got to the room, Ezra set Aria down and pulled the cover over her, then climbed in with her.

"Ezra?" Aria asked.

"Yes, dear?"

"Why didn't you come and see me when the burial was over? They stuck the needle in my shoulder and I needed you there..." She trailed off.

"Aria, I am so sorry, I just was coming home to get you a jacket then come to the hospital to see you...but when I got home I sat on the bed and cried. Aria I'm sorry that I didn't come to see you, but I needed some time just to be alone."

"But Ezra, I needed you..."

"Aria, I will be there next time, I promise." Ezra said.

Aria sighed in agreement.

Aria was now asleep. Ezra just sat there and played with a strand of her hair in his hands. Ezra sat and told himself that tomorrow he would ask Byron for Aria's hand in marriage.

Afterwards, he had to ask Ella to help him pick out a ring. He had planned to propose to Aria when they went on a picnic together. He was going to make dinner and put it in a picnic basket. He would bring a blanket for the two of them to lay on as they watched the sunset.

Ezra fell asleep not long after thinking about the proposal.

Then next morning, Aria and Kayla were at the store, and Ezra went to talk to Byron.

"Hey Byron, can I talk to you?" Ezra said as he took a seat next to Aria's father.

"And what might it be about?"

"You know that I love Aria, she and I have been to hell and back together, and I don't think that I could ever go though my life with out her… I told my dad how much I loved Aria before he died and he told me that if I loved her that much that, I should marry her, and I promised him that I would. I know that it seems so sudden, But I can't live without Aria.. .What I'm trying to say is, Can I have your blessing?"

Hahahah Guys, don't kill me, but I'm going to end this chapter on a cliffhanger, tell my what you think!:) THE PLL HALLOWEEN EPISODE IS SO CLOSE!
