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."

Ezra POV:

When I met Jackie Rose Molina in my freshman year in the dorm, we instantly connected. I thought that we were perfect for each other, and that I'd never find anybody else that was better than her. I loved her with all I had, but it turned out, she didn't return the same feelings.

The day before our wedding, we were talking about where to go on our honeymoon or which hotel to go to after the wedding. Then, I noticed Jackie look like she was in panic mode. She was shaking and pale. I had asked her if she was feeling alright, when she blurted out "I can't marry you!"

Those four words shattered my heart. I thought that it'd never be full again. Jackie told me that she was too young, and needed to live more before she became somebody's wife. She wasn't ready; and she felt that things were too rushed. She promised that we could stay friends, but I didn't really want to see her. We never talked again until right before she came to work at Hollis.

I had found Aria by then. No, she was no rebound, she actually helped me get over Jackie. I realized that Aria was way better than Jackie could ever be. Aria understood me, I understood her, we shared very similar hobbies and interests, we were good at making each other laugh, and smile… I was her shoulder to cry on when Aria was upset about something; and most of all, we loved each other.

I thought that the relationship wouldn't last that long with the conflicts that we had to deal with when we first got together. But, when she said that I was her soul mate, she actually meant it. I could see the love in her eyes, as she gripped my hands and kissed me passionately after he words. I want to marry her, and I hope she sincerely, truly wants to, too.

Was she too young? I think maybe when you first met her, yes; but I've been shocked with her level of maturity in that tiny little figure of hers. She just may be the strongest person I have ever met. These are just some of the reasons why I love her.

When we parted from our passionate kiss, I held her face in my hands. I looked into her eyes, and became serious. "Aria, if I'm your soul mate, and if you love me that much, you have to let me go. If you love me, you will let me leave. I'm doing this for the sake of keeping your family together and for your safety," I said.

Aria started to tear up again to I quickly hugged her so she could stain my shirt; but I didn't mind.

When released her tight clenched fists from my shirt and leaned back to look at me, she nodded. "Okay. I'll do it. For you, and only for you."

I nodded quickly as I took her into another hug. "You know it's going to be just as hard for me as it will for you. Know that, please," I murmured into her hair; but I only heard her choke out more cries.

2 hours later::

Aria POV:

It was 7 pm, dark, and raining. Sure, perfect timing for when you're "breaking up" with somebody. "Are you ready to go?" I heard Ezra say as he walked toward the door.

He was wearing a warm, soft rain coat I had bought him several months ago. I was wearing a tan coat that I always wore when it rained in Rosewood. "No," I replied, sighing and wiping my eyes, making sure no tears escaped.

Ezra turned around to look at me sternly. "I'm not," I argued. "But it has to be done, so let's just get this over with," I said, pushing past him, through the door, 3B, that I probably would never see in my life again. I forced myself not to look back. I heard Ezra's footsteps behind me as I pressed the down button on the elevator.

"Okay, so we're going to take your car to the bus station. I'll leave, and you WILL drive in your car back to your house; and by that I mean your parent's house," he exclaimed, taking my hand as we waited in the elevator. I nodded slightly, rolling my eyes, and I knew that Ezra wasn't convinced.

"Promise me, Aria," Ezra ordered in his soft, gentle voice. I just looked him in the eyes. He sighed and leaned in to attach our lips. He lifted me up off the ground and twirled me a time around , as I, giving in, wrapped my arms around his neck. He rested me back on the ground and put his face centimeters from mine. "Promise me," he whispered again. He spoke it so quietly, that even I could barely hear it.

I brought my hand up to his chest and pushed it all the way up to his neck. I leaned in close, and replied, "I promise," softly.

He kissed me once more as the elevator doors open. Only the woman at the front desk was in the lobby, and she was as quiet as a mouse. We didn't even notice her there. We walked out the apartment building doors, hand in hand, as we made our way to my car.

"Let me drive, Aria," Ezra stated, slowly reaching for the keys that I held in my right hand.

"No, it's my car," I tried to sputter, but Ezra had already taken away the keys.

"Listen. With the way you look right now, and the way you must be feeling, you shouldn't drive," he explained.

I just shrugged and got into the passenger side. The car ride to the bus station was completely silent. Only sighing and heavy breathing. Soon enough, we were there.

The bus wasn't supposed to arrive until about 10 minutes, so Ezra turned to me. "Aria."

I angled my neck so I could see him. I had been looking out the window the whole ride there, watching rain drops roll down the window and disappear after going down all the way. I had traced the path of a single drop with my finger.

"What's on your mind?" he asked, curiously. I could sense a touch of fear in his tone.

"That I will never find someone like you," I complained.

Ezra stroked my left cheek with his thumb, then ran it down under my chin. He turned it towards him. "Hey, I don't think you'll ever find someone exactly like me, who you find sitting two stools away from you at Snookers. The next day you find out he's your English teacher. You go through hell with them, having ups and downs, until you realize that you were meant to be together," he exclaimed, chuckling.

He actually made me giggle after this long day. He was right. And it's not like I would want to have to deal with the same situation Ezra and I had all over again. That was torture.

"Yeah, so I guess you're unique," I commented, hitting him playfully.

"I guess I am; but that means you are too. I mean that in the most amazing way possible. I leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips.

We looked over at the clock in the car and noticed that there was only three minutes until the bus arrival. "So, I guess we should go…" Ezra began, taking his hand away from mine.

I nodded slightly, bracing myself for the waterfall of tears that was about to pour down my face. I couldn't believe I was going to let him go. Ezra stepped away and out of the driver's seat, shutting the door behind him, whilst he strolled over to the other side of the car, opening the door for me.

I took his hand and stepped out of the car as well. We walked over across from where the bus was going to stop. "So, I guess this is it…." I began shifting back and forth on my feet. I tried to avoid gazing into his eyes, but that failed. I wanted to get a good look at him right before he left.

"Aria, will you promise me something?" he asked, wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Depends on what it is," I said, trying to lighten the mood. I cried enough for today.

"Don't hate me," he replied.

I stared into his eyes, searching for clues. What made him think that I hated him, or would hate him? "Ezra," I sighed. "I could never hate you. This isn't your fault, none of this was ever your fault, so don't blame yourself," I added, fixing his hair that was messed up from the rain.

Ezra still wasn't satisfied. "Well, I want to make sure. Just remember all the good times we've had together. The kisses, the other day, when I had that whole day planned for us, that NIGHT, and think about the bad times too. Think about all the arguments we've had, if you really want to, but when you do, think about how we fought them. We overcame them all. But, this…..this, is something that we can't overcome. It's something where something has to be done. I never wanted to break your heart, Aria, that is the number one thing I made sure I never did. Don't remember me as that guy. Please. Please…?" he asked, desperately. I saw a couple of tears fall and hit the ground.

I started to cry as I wiped his tear-stained cheek with my thumb. "You know what I'll remember you as? My soul mate. My lover. My best friend. My place of comfort, and my hero. Because I love you, and I will never think of you as the guy who broke my heart, because you never did. Yeah, times were tough, but we made it through."

Ezra sighed and mouthed a 'thank you'. "Just…promise me something in return?" I asked.

"Anything," he replied, stroking my cheek.

"Don't forget about me," I pleaded. That was the last thing I ever wanted.

Ezra chuckled, as if thinking that I wasn't being serious, but then saw the desperation in my eyes. By this time we were both soaked, and I wondered by we didn't bother to put our hoods up.

Ezra took my face in his hands, and bent his knees to my height. "Never. Never in a thousand years," he answered. I sighed in relief. Thank god. (That's the part from the one-shot of my other fanfic. It's my favorite part of it).

We heard the bus brakes, so we turned around. The bus wasn't in sight but we knew it was close. I spun back to Ezra and reached up for his coat. I grabbed the collars and pulled them gently together, as I realized that I was being swayed. Ezra was holding my waist, while moving back and forth. We were slow dancing in the rain. I smiled, as I snuggled into Ezra's chest. Ezra's chin rested on top of my head as we just sawed there, reminiscing in the moment.

After about a minute passed, Ezra muffled a few words into my hair. "Time to go."

Another tear succeeded to fall from my eye as I looked up. "I love you, Ezra. With all my heart."

Ezra started to walk away, releasing his hand from my grasp. "I love you more than you'll ever know."

I wiped my eyes as Ezra slowly made his way over to the stop, wiping his mouth with his hand. With each step he took, memories flooded into my mind. (This part is also similar to PLEM).

"Ezra," I was able to choke out as I ran, leaping into Ezra's arms, meeting him in a kiss. He started to twirl me in the middle of the parking lot, as I ran my hand across his cheek and around his neck. One of his hands supported and held the small of my back, with the other hand holding the back of my neck. I didn't care that there were busses in back of us. To hell with them if there were kids on the busses. I was in Ezra's arms, the safest place to be, and I wasn't going to let him go ever again.

Another couple of steps.

What does it feel like… when we're together?" I questioned him.

Ezra sighed as he stood from the couch. "Good? It feels….right!" He walked over to the window and faced me. "I want to be with you. I wanna….hang out in the bar, introduce you to my friends….split a place of fries, like everybody else, but I don't think we could do that! When I'm with you, I don't care about anybody else."

Another couple of steps away from me.

Get in the bag Mr. Fitz; we're taking a picture as a couple!" I ordered him as I began to put my paper bag over my head. Ezra reached over to get his bag and put it on.

"You know this is nuts, right?" he asked, as she reached his arm around and rested it on my shoulder. I pressed the button on my phone, as we both got blinded by the flash.

It was our first picture together, as a couple. "Are we done? I can't breathe," I heard Ezra gasp. We both laughed as we took the face-drawn- bags off of our heads. Ezra and I smiled as our lips pressed together.

Ezra was only about ten steps away from the bus; and then it hit me. I remembered the parking lot kiss. I was going to let him leave, but I couldn't. I couldn't let him leave me like that, even though it was to help our relationship. Why wasn't I doing anything now?

"Ezra!" I screamed. He just kept walking, probably because it would be too hard to look back.

"You were right about one thing, Ezra! I do love you, and you think I love you enough to let you go, but that's where there's a problem!"

Tear after tear rolled down my cheeks. I wanted to play it out like it was just rain pouring down on my face. "I love you TOO much to let you go! I love you too much that I can't live without you! I love you too much that I want to go with you! I love you too much that you can't leave me standing here like this. What's happening isn't fair! I can't let you go again! That's what I promised myself the day you left Rosewood! Please, don't leave!" I begged, screaming, and crying at the same time; but by then the bus had pulled up at the bus stop. Ezra probably just got on.

I was too late. "Damn!" I screamed, as I stomped, and fell to the hard concrete sidewalk. I trembled and shook as I cried, sitting on the ground. I was probably making a complete fool out of myself. I heard the bus start again, and out of the corner of my eye I saw the bus leave.

I sniffled and looked up across from me, to the bus stop. I gasped at the sight in front of me. There, in front of me, was the love of my life, the person who didn't get on the bus, the man that thank god, didn't leave, Ezra Fitz.

That was some chapter! I will admit that I cried a total of 3 times while writing this, and I really hope that you enjoyed this and want more! Please review, and tell me what you thought! Xoxo Courtney
