"Aria, you're hurting right now, but one day you're going to look back and realize how amazing you are for sacrificing your relationship to keep the love of your life safe." Spencer said, stroking Aria's hair.

"Thanks guys, I really appreciate all of you trying to make me feel better but I love him and to see the pain on his face and know that I'm the one causing it is just way too hard to handle." Aria said, trying to stop a new flood of tears from spilling over as she pictured his face when she broke up with him.

"Shh, everything's gonna be okay. We'll find a way to make things work out" Emily said, handing Aria another tissue.

"Thanks Em, but I don't see how we can find a way to keep Ezra and make A back off." Aria sounded defeated as she said this.

Spencer, who had been silent for several minutes, smiled. "I think so."
