Bonjour! I feel like I'm losing reviewers… are you guys' losing interest? There's only about 10 more chapters or so that I'm going to write, sadly. By the way, do you all want a happy ending, a sad ending, or a sad ending with an alternative? Let me know when you review with this chapter!

I have an idea for another story but I'm not sure how to go along with it. I'm still writing Pretty Little Ezria Moments, but I have a writer's block on that….again.

Thanks to my reviewers for the last chapter: Lucianloverx33, .dreamers, msbookworm93, bite-me-im-irish, HarrylovesGinny09, and notinyourlifetimehoney. Your comments mean so much to me, and they keep me going!

Here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

I parted from me and Ella's hug and entangled myself in Ezra's arms. "But, Ezra isn't leaving. He's staying here, for me."

Ezra kissed my hair. My gaze turned up to meet his eyes. I kissed him gently.

Ella frowned. "But then the cops will come and take him away," she explained. "Honey, you're going to lose him either way."

I grimaced at her words. I wasn't going to lose him was I?

Aria POV:

I looked up at Ezra, upset. He was looking down at me, in regret. I knew what that look meant. He was going to leave me. It wasn't fair though, and I wasn't going to let him go. Not after all we've been through.

"Well, uh, before I make a decision, Aria and I will have to have a serious conversation. I need to know which one would be easier for me to go. I want to make it as easy for her as possible," I heard Ezra replied.

I noticed Ella nod in sympathy. I could see that Ella admired Ezra's strength through all this. That he was being so mature and taking the consequences. But, I, on the other hand, wasn't happy with the man standing behind me.

"Easy?" I questioned, turning around to face him. I stepped back away from him. "How could it possibly be easy for me to let you go? Either you just leave me, or I have to watch you get arrested and take away. Let me ask you, which do you think is easier?"

Ezra stepped closer to stroke my cheek, but I hit his hand away.

"Aria, don't make this worse than it has to be," I heard Ella barge in, but I ignored her. I continued to stare Ezra down, waiting for his answer.

"I'm going to be honest. It's going to be harder for me to leave you than you having to watch me do so. Just know that I'm not leaving you voluntarily, Aria," Ezra replied, stepping back in his place. He shifted feet, like he was nervous or uncomfortable. He rubbed his hands.

I squinted my eyes. "That's you being honest?" I started, but Ezra spoke up.

"Ella, I think maybe it would be best if you leave, Aria and I have to deal with what has to happen. Thank you for supporting us. Please, keep us updated. When are the police coming?"

Ella frowned. "Tomorrow," she replied walking away. "I guess either you leave today or they take you tomorrow… I'm really sorry, Ezra. Goodbye, and Aria, I expect you to be home by tomorrow morning. Remember what Byron said. I'll try to calm him down; but the house, like I said, has been pretty loud."

I nodded. Then pushed Ezra back into his apartment. He sighed and went to sit down on the couch. I stomped over to him and stood over him. "Do you really think I could move on after you? Remember what you "took" from me the other night. I wanted it to be from somebody I would be with for the rest of my life; and I know that sounds cheesy but it isn't," I murmured, rubbing my eyes.

Ezra cleared his throat ad looked into my hazel eyes. "Aria, it is not cheesy at all; and I couldn't possibly think that you would move on quickly, but you need to. It was fate, and it needs to take its toll," he replied, trying to be supportive.

A tear rolled down my cheek. "Will you move on after me?" I asked softly.

Ezra was quiet. We were both silent for several moments. I blew away a strand of hair away from my face as I sat down beside him. "Hm?" I asked again.

"Do you want me to be completely honest with you?" he asked, taking my hands in his, squeezing them tightly.

"I always need you to be honest with me, about everything. And you don't need to be embarrassed about anything we talk about, because it stays between us," I answered, running my hands through his hair.

He slipped his hands under my thighs and pulled me onto his lap. It reminded me of when I started my art class at Hollis a few weeks ago. I had been freaking out that Jenna was in the same class; so I had went to Ezra's apartment and he was encouraging me to make things right with Jenna.

"No," Ezra replied with a straight mouth. "I wouldn't be able to move on, and it's because I found my soul mate, which, I didn't believe in until I met you. You still have plenty of time to find yours.

I knitted my eyebrows in a mixture of confusion and anger. "Ezra," I said.

Ezra only looked everywhere else but into my eyes. I reached over and took his face, holding it gently in my palms.

"Ezra. You are my soul mate. You always have; and you always will."

Aww! I don't know why Ezra didn't think he was Aria's soul mate. Maybe, because she was only 16, on the verge of 17. Ezra is still really young too, but I guess he gives up and doesn't think he could find anyone like Aria. So, what did you think? And hey, ARE YOU EXCITED FOR MONDAY? ONLY 3 DAYS! I can't believe we made it this far! # xoxo Courtney
