Hello! Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter! Do you like cliffhangers? I hate reading them, because then I could barely wait till the next chapter, but I love writing them! Hahha I'm going to answer some of your questions ad respond to comments below. And, I couldn't really tell if most of you wanted her to say yes or no, so you'll just have to read to find out what I have decided. It was a complete change of my plans for this chapter.

Thanks to my lovely reviewers: Notinyourlifetimehoney, prettylttleliars143, .dreamers, msbookworm93, coffeebeanner, Fearlesslove1386, Prettylittlefan, Harrylovesginny09, and bite-me-im-irish!

Notinyourlifetimehoney- Thank you! I'll need that for the next couple of chapters!

"Okay. Well, there's something that I have to ask, before we get carried away."

Aria POV:

"Okay, what is it?" I demanded happily, stepping closer to him.

Ezra stepped even closer and took my hands in his, kissing them, before he reached inside his pocket.

He looked up at me with loving eyes as my mouth dropped. "Aria Montgomery, will you marry me?" he asked.

Then, everything just froze.

It was like we were in a room of white. It was like we were stuck in a tight space and we couldn't move. I had melted into the ground. It was like saying my last words before death. Exactly. What would you say? 'Cause, I couldn't say anything, and Ezra was waiting, desperately, on my answer.

"I….I-uh," I stuttered. I couldn't form my words correctly, and I started to sweat.

Ezra noticed my pale, shaking face and grabbed my hands quickly. "Aria? Aria! Are you okay? You look like you're going to either throw up or faint… what do you feel, baby?" he asked, quickly, in a panic. He certainly did not know what to do with me at the moment.

I stood in my place, still trying to speak. Ezra ran to the bathroom, and re-entered the room with a garbage can. "Aria, sit down, and bend over. Cough of you need to. Do you need to puke?" he asked, unsure, gently tugging me over to the couch.

I wasn't sure either, but I started to get dizzy, so I out my head down as I fell back on the couch. I started to cough softly and Ezra held my hair up, rubbing my back. I opened my eyes and noticed that there was nothing there.

Well, that's out of the question. I got dizzy again, and gulped. I looked up at Ezra with watering eyes. "Ezra…..don-don't take me to the hospital is I fain—" I murmured, but I couldn't finish, because the room had spun out of control, and my eyes rolled back. My hand fell from Ezra's and flopped on the floor next to the garbage.

Ezra POV:

I'm panicking. What the heck do I do? And well, obviously, that wasn't the reaction I was hoping for. She doesn't want to marry me…..My eyes started to tear at the thought. Things entered and left my mind one after the other as I tried to wake Aria up.

I understood why she didn't want to be taken to the hospital. Too many events have took place there, and the police would probably find us. Well, things wouldn't turn out well after that; but….what if this was serious? I can't do anything, I'm an English teacher, not a doctor!

I rubbed my eyes and cursed loudly. After a few moments I decided that if she didn't wake up in 20 minutes, I would take her to the ER, no matter what.

I stayed by Aria's side, running my hands through her silky hair, watching her face, seeing if she opened her eyes yet.

I closed my eyes and lay my head back on the couch. Why is this happening to us?

I was interrupted by a groan. My eyes flickered open and I shot my eyes over to Aria. She was blinking groggily, and was starting to lean up on her elbows. She looked around the room, until her eyes found mine. "Ezra," she whispered.

I smiled, and bent over to kiss her forehead. I then stood up and rushed over to the sink. I got a glass of water, and gave it to Aria. She took it and started to drink. She had drunk the whole glass in about a minute and handed it back to me. "Thanks," she stated.

"Don't mention it…" I started, nervously. "So, you fainted…have you ever fainted before?" I asked, curiously.

Aria nodded her head. "Yeah, it doesn't happen often, but it happens when I'm…in shock."

I sighed. "So, my take on your answer is…"

Aria shook her head and spoke. "Don't jump to conclusions, Ezra. I know that wasn't the reaction you were hoping for….me either; but we have to leave. I'll tell you what my answer is while we're driving."

I nodded. "Okay, but where do you want to go?"

Aria stood up and walked over to me. Well, she was definitely feeling better. "I have it all planned out. First, I want to go to my house, and get a few things; maybe a backpack or something. I'll tell my parents that I'm moving in with Spencer for a few days, and then looking for an apartment. My birthday is next week, and I'm turning 18, so it's legal. (Yeah, I'm changing her age to 17). Then, we'll go to a hotel in Philly, and we'll stay there for a few days to figure out where we're going to go. Then, after that, we come back here, pack again, lease the place, and we leave."

I was quite surprised by how thoroughly she had thought about this. She wants to live with me….but she won't be my wife.

"Okay, then. Are you sure that you want to go to your house?" I asked cautiously.

Aria nodded. "Yeah. Are you sure you wanna leave your apartment?" she questioned.

"It's what we need to do," I claimed.

Aria leaned up and kissed me softly. "I love you," she stated, taking my hand.

I smiled. "I love you too," I claimed. She already knew that, because I had proposed, but I still said it anyway. Then, we went to pack a couple of bags.

After packing, we walked out of the apartment, hand in hand, ready to follow the plan. The only thing I was afraid of was Aria going to her parent's house. I was afraid that she may never come back out.

Okay, so yeah, I changed her age to 17….I hope that's okay. It just works out better in the story, coming up. And, don't get convinced that Aria said se doesn't want to marry him. You'll find out in the next couple of chapters what happened, and what her real answer is. Please review, and tell me what you thought!
