Aria's POV

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Jackie had kissed Ezra. And from what I was able to see, Ezra had made the slightest movement of kissing her back. At that point, I fled from the doorway, grabbing my keys and purse on the way out of our house. I slammed the door with a shattering force behind me.

I reached my car and quickly got into the drivers seat. I struggled to get the key into the ignition, as my body was shaking with rage. Why hadn't Ezra come after me yet? I shut the front door hard enough for him to notice I had seen him and Jackie! I didn't know where I was going to go, but I knew that I had to get out of here, now. I drove out of the neighborhood and started driving, anywhere away from here. I didn't know where I was going to end up, but at the moment, I really did not care. I don't know how long I sat there, as my mind was racing. I didn't want to admit it, but a part of me was waiting for him to come after me. After another moment passed, I decided I needed to leave. I needed to go, somewhere, anywhere away from here. Knowing I wasn't completely alone, and that I had my baby with me, motivated me to get away from this cheater. My ringing phone interrupted my train of thought. I picked it up to look at the caller ID: Ezra. I watched the phone as it continued to ring, before his call hit voicemail. My phone chimed a moment later signaling a new voicemail. I unlocked my iPhone to see eight new texts, fifteen missed calls, and ten new voicemails - all from Ezra. I bit my lip as I started crying harder. Thank God for waterproof mascara.

I must have been so wrapped up in my thoughts that I hadn't even noticed my phone ringing again. My phone started buzzing for the sixteenth time, and once again I ignored it without even glancing at the caller ID, fully aware of whom the caller was.

I suddenly wished Alison were still alive. She would know exactly what I should do. But instead, I called the person who was second best to Alison at relationships; Hanna. I dialed her number and she answered after the second ring.

"Hello?" Her voice trilled through the phone.

"Han? Throw some clothes into a bag and come outside." I commanded as I turned onto her street.

"Why?" She asked cautiously.

"I need your help. And I need to get out of Rosewood, now." I told her as I parked my car in her driveway.

"Kay, I'll be there in a minute." She told me, before hanging up.

My thoughts were going crazy as I sat there waiting impatiently. He doesn't realize how much he affects me. How much this hurts. I had broken down and even though the thing I craved most at the moment was Ezra's arms wrapped around me and his honey filled voice telling me that everything would be okay, there was no way that that could happen; because he had been the one to hurt me. The tears came harder as I came to the realization that Jackie had won. She had gotten Ezra back. Why did I ever even think that Ezra was mine? That Ezra would stay mine and only mine when Jackie made her way back into his life? Why did Maria have to exist? I mean, it wasn't her fault, and I'm not blaming Maria for anything, but why does that bitch have to win? My thoughts were interrupted once again as I saw Hanna rushing out the front door of her house with a huge overnight bag in one hand, and her oversize purse in the other.

"Sorry! I couldn't decided whether I wanted to bring my new Betsy Johnson heels or the Steve Ma-" She climbed into the passenger side of my car after she threw her bag into the backseat, but stopped talking as soon as she saw my puffy eyes and tear stained face.

"Oh my God, Aria! Now you really look like a strung out Powerpuff Girl!" She attempted humor, but got no happy response from me aside from more tears.

My phone's ringtone filled the depths of the car once again and Hanna asked, "Aren't you going to answer that?"

I shook my head, not even glancing at the phone, knowing exactly who was calling. A new flood of tears washed over my face once again.

"Aria, what happened?" Hanna asked sincerely.

"Ez-Ezra. H-he k-k-kissed," I motioned towards my lips, my breathing extremely heavy, but I was unable to finish my sentence as I started crying even harder.

"Who'd he kiss?" She asked urgently.

"Jackie." I said, as another flood of tears escaped my eyes.

Why the hell does life have to be so complicated? Why did all this have to happen to me? My head was swimming with questions and thoughts as I kept driving. I realized that I had ended up on the freeway, but I didn't care. I decided I would continue to drive, and see where I would end up; because I really didn't want to be around anything or anyone that could or would remind me of Ezra.

"Oh, honey I'm so sorry." Hanna looked at me with a sincere expression on her face.

I didn't reply as more tears streamed down my face. I threw my phone a dirty look as it rang again.

"Shut. That. Thing. Off." I muttered under my breath. Hanna picked the phone up and turned it off. She set it back inside my purse.

"Where should we go?" I asked quietly as I exited the freeway.

"Stop at that gas station for a minute." She told me.

I shrugged my shoulders as I entered the gas station parking lot. I put the car in park and watched Hanna as she got out of the car. She shut her door and walked over to the driver's side of the car. I rolled down my window.

"Get out." She commanded.

"Why?" I asked, shocked.

"I'm driving. You need a break." She said sincerely.

I sighed in response, knowing that she was right and that it probably was really unsafe for me to be driving in such a fragile mental state. I got out of the car and entered the passengers' side. Hanna started the car and started driving again, however, I didn't really care too much about where we were going, so I didn't even bother asking her about it. I reached inside my purse and took out my small notebook and a pen. I opened it up to a blank page and started scribbling away, pouring out all my thoughts into the little book, unable to keep them locked away in my mind any longer.

Ezra's POV

As soon as Jackie's lips touched mine, my memory re-winded by a year to what her touch used to feel like. Her lips used to send a tingling feeling throughout my entire body, but now, it felt phony and wrong, as if it were meant for someone else; not me. And that was true, because I was meant to be with Aria. Aria and I both knew that we were soul mates to the fullest extent. (Which I completely agree with lol) The reason I had proposed to Jackie in the first place was because I had not yet met Aria. However, looking back now, I realized that Jackie breaking off our engagement was one of the greatest things that could have ever happened to me. Breaking up with Jackie was all part of fate; the fate that led me to meeting Aria at Snookers. For the first time, I realized that if Aria had not been my student, then our relationship would not be where it was today. I probably wouldn't have ever seen her again if she had not been my student. We wouldn't love each other as much as we did. I bit my lip as I realized that she might not be able to love me anymore after seeing me with Jackie.

Just a second after Jackie's lips touched mine, I broke away from her, knowing that this was so wrong. I heard a door slam loudly a moment later, confirming my worst possible fear: Aria had seen us.

I shoved Jackie's arms off of my body and ran from the room. Jackie appeared in the living room a moment later, and I turned towards her.

"Jackie, leave." I commanded, trying to keep my voice down but failing.

"Ezra-" She began to say but I cut her off. I picked Maria up and handed Maria to Jackie.

"LEAVE! Kissing me was completely uncalled for! What the hell was going through your mind?" I yelled, as I ushered her out the door.

"I know you still want to be with me." She told me as she started walking towards the door.

"You're wrong." I managed to say in a softer tone.

"Ezra, I still love you." Jackie looked back at me for a moment.

"But I don't love you." I managed to say, before she fled from the house.

As I looked down at my hands, I realized that they had been shaking in rage. I grabbed my keys, wallet, and phone, and rushed to my car. I had no idea where to go. I called Aria's phone but only got her voicemail. But was I really expecting her to answer? She saw me kissing Jackie and probably hates me more than anyone right now. Probably even more than she hates that stupid A person. I tried to envision where Aria would go if she were to run away, but my mind came up blank. Her old house? One of her friends' houses? Her parents' house seemed extremely unlikely, but it was a possibility. I quickly started the car and started driving towards Aria's old house. I felt my eyes water as I realized that I had lost Aria, possibly forever. I shook my head immediately as that thought entered my mind. I was going to get Aria back. No matter what it took. I called her phone again, but after a few rings, it went to voicemail.

I turned onto her parents street and but her car was nowhere in sight. I huffed in anger as I turned off of the street and started driving towards Spencer's house, since it was the closest. Afterwards, I went to Hanna's house, then Emily's house, but each one was void of Aria's car. I tried calling Aria's phone again, but this time, instead of ringing, it went straight to voicemail. If only she wasn't so stubborn and would let me explain! But there really was no good excuse to why I was kissing my ex-fiancé.

I slumped against the leather seat of the car in defeat as I felt fresh hot tears fall from my eyes. I had lost Aria. And I had no way of getting her back.

Thank you all so much for your reviews on the last chapter! I completely agree with all of you and I hated that last chapter too! Poor Aria! So this was basically a filler chapter. Anyways, let me know what you thought and please leave a review! Can we reach 200? Pretty please?
