Okay, so this is the last chapter. BUT I'm going to be starting another story called "Accidents Happen." It's also an Ezria story and I will be posting it today or tomorrow so check it out :)

Chapter 29:

Aria sat up in bed, careful not to wake Ezra. It had been three days since Caleb was arrested and she still couldn't sleep. She sighed and got up, trying to be as quiet as possible. She grabbed her phone from the night table and texted Spencer.

You awake? -A.M.

Spencer texted back almost immediately.

The nightmares won't stop. Emily and Hanna are sleeping over and Hanna's crying in her sleep. -S.H.

Aria's heart went out to Hanna. She had it the worst. Finding out the boy she loved was A, and not even really having much time to deal with it. Aria couldn't even begin to imagine what she'd have gone through if she'd been in Hanna's place. Her friend was really strong.

Make her some green tea and a peanut butter sandwich and then wake her up. For some weird reason, they usually help her calm down and sometimes get rid of the nightmares. She said that's what she used to do after her dad -A.M.

Aria knew that it would take more than a sandwich and some tea to help her friend but it was all she could really do.

Kk. Thanks, I'll get started. Is Ezra awake? -S.H.

Aria looked at Ezra's peaceful face, and listened to his soft snoring, which seemed oddly soothing.

No, he's sleeping. I'm jealous. -A.M.

Sigh. Me too. I'm gonna go wake Hanna up, I can hear her crying from my kitchen. Wish me luck. xo -S.H

Good luck! Send her my love. Night! 3 -A.M

After her talk with Spencer, Aria stood in front of the window, thinking about Hanna, Caleb, the masquerade, everything. She was so lost in thought she didn't notice Ezra standing behind her until he spoke.

"Couldn't sleep?"

Aria shook her head.

Ezra pulled her gently into his arms. "Don't worry. The nightmares will stop one day. And until then, just remember that I'm always here for you. And you can always wake me up no matter what time it is, I'll always be right here." Ezra said, soothingly.

Aria smiled up at him. "Thank you. I honestly don't know what I would do if I didn't have you." she said, leaning up to kiss him softly.

"You'll never find out because I'm not going anywhere." Ezra promised. "How about we watch movies until you're tired?" he asked, trying to cheer her up.

Aria hesitated. "Are you sure? It's 4:30 in the morning, and I really don't want you to have to lose sleep because of me."

"I'm not sleeping until you do." Ezra said, firmly.

Aria smiled gratefully. She had been hoping he'd say that. The thought of staying up alone didn't appeal to her very much. "Okay, let's watch movies."

Ezra turned on the tv and sat down on the couch, Aria's head against his chest, and his strong arms wrapped around her petite frame. They sat there like this for hours, Aria listening to Ezra's deep breathing as he fell asleep during the movie, his chin rested on her head. In that moment she truly felt safe and believed that everything would be okay. She allowed Ezra's rhythmic breathing to lull her into a deep, dreamless sleep.
