Chapter 2

All That You Can't Leave Behind

It had been two weeks since that horrible day. Since the day that Aria had realized she may be pregnant.

She had went home that afternoon and taken three different pregnancy tests. All of which had came back positive.

She had done nothing but worry and cry. Either she was having to pretend to be all happy, girly, and into Noel when all she really felt like doing was puking her guts out, or she was trying to avoid Ezra. Every time her eyes me his lately, even for just a brief instant, whether in class or the halls, all she wanted to do was cry and cry until she could not cry any longer.

Why didn't he want her she asked herself near every night. Here she was pregnant... with his kid, and he just saw her as a little kid who wasn't worth his time or effort. She had trusted him, let him in when everyone in her life had let her down, when every fiber of her being was screaming at her against doing so. She had trusted him and once again she had been made look like a fool by him. Just like she was made feel by her dad, Allison, and A. It seemed to her as if all he had wanted was sex and then as soon as he got what he wanted she was some dumb kid who he kicked to the curb without a second thought. She wouldn't let her guard down again. She couldn't stand be be hurt or humiliated anymore... by anyone!

She wanted things to be easy again, wanted to forget about her father's infidelity, forget how she'd hurt her mother, forget her broken heart, just not this. Which was one reason she had called the clinic last week. She didn't know if she'd go through with it, but right now this was the best option.

As much as it pained her, she wasn't with Ezra anymore and she couldn't let him know how much she desperately missed him, she wouldn't give him that satisfaction. She couldn't let A get the best of her either. She had to stay strong. She had to take care of herself, she couldn't get hurt anymore. Because if she did, she didn't know how much longer she would survive.

At least that was what had been going through her mind before she had left the house that morning.

Aria walked down the hall with Noel. She had just gotten through another lunch period at school of being interrogated with her friends. This time it hadn't been Detective Wilden, this time it had been an FBI agent. The video of Allison at the kissing rock the morning she'd been murdered and the fact that it seemed as if the mystery boyfriend was the killer was too much. That mixed with the pregnancy drama seriously gave her the urge to vomit. She wished she could just leave early today.

She opened her locker and a book fell out onto the ground. As Noel picked it up they saw it was a collaborative book of poems and there was a note from A. Noel not knowing what the significance of the note meant did as it said and turned to a poem labeled B-26 written by none other than Ezra Fitz.

Shocked she didn't say anything as Noel began reading.

"It's a number.

It's a song.

It's a girl."

She took the book from him before he could read further and walked away leaving Noel standing confused in the hall next to her locker.

Tears fell down her face as she sat outside the school reading. She read over the poem for what seemed like the hundredth time. Why couldn't he let her be? And why couldn't A just leave her alone? She had wanted him from the moment they'd met she'd seen him that moment in the bar. She'd loved him since that very evening. And all he'd done was break her heart. He had told her they were not worth the risk, that she wasn't worth it, and that he didn't want her. He had made her believe these things for true.

Now she reads this and sees that maybe, just maybe he really did love her. She couldn't fucking take it anymore!

Aria made her way through the school halls. Hoping he didn't have a class this period so she would be able to confront him she walked towards his classroom, and peaked inside.

She saw it was empty other than Ezra sitting at his desk. Aria took a deep sigh before opening the door and walking in.

As she opened the door Ezra looked up but didn't speak. "I read your poem. B-26" she said walking over to his desk.

"You weren't supposed to read that" Ezra responded softly.

"Well I did" Aria replied. "How could you. How could you write these things, feel these things and give up on us so easily" she asked angrily! She had told herself she'd stay strong but she had to know.

His response did nothing but make her more upset. It seemed like all he was doing was talking in circles. Why couldn't he just come clean with her? "I told you the truth Aria" he said.

"Oh! We're gonna talk about truth now. Today's truth, yesterdays, or last weeks, because honestly I don't know what to believe anymore" she near yelled.

Now she was not just hurt and angry but scared. She had told herself that she wouldn't let herself get hurt again. She didn't know what to believe anymore, weather he wanted her or not. She did know however that he had broke her heart. She was scared that maybe he really did love her. She couldn't have her heart broke again!

Ezra was angry too, but in his case it was more at himself. His response came out louder than he had expected. They were now yelling.

"I've moved on. You need to too" said Aria before turning around. Noel was standing there in the doorway. Aria realized how this probably looked but she was to angry to find out exactly how much Noel had heard.

"What's going on" Noel asked looking upset?

"Nothing" Aria told him as she walked towards the door. "There is absolutely nothing going on here." As she spoke the last sentence she turned towards Ezra. Once done speaking she turned back around and walked past Noel and out of the room.

Noel just stood there staring at his english teacher. He could not believe what he'd just seen. He was in awe and also angry... the girl he was dating had something going on with their freaking teacher he thought to himself.

"Is there something you'd like to say to me" Ezra said angrily. He had been facing the door, he had seen Noel walk in and he knew it would have to be a miracle if he didn't know something was going on with the two of them.

Noel turned around and walked away.

Ezra threw what was sitting in front of him. 'How fucking dare that kid getting rude with him 'what's going on here' he replayed Noel's words in his head. He had Aria first. He was the one who loved her' he thought as he sat back down and ran his hands over his face and through his hair trying to regain calmness.

From school that afternoon Aria didn't go home. She had a doctor's appointment she didn't want to be late for. She was going to a free clinic in the neighboring town to Rosewood about 20 minutes away and after her appointment she was supposed to see one of their counselor's.

It was bad enough, the day she'd already had. What with her blow up at Ezra and Noel seeing but now she had some damn doctor's appointment and then tonight they had to go to Mona's party. Hannah, Spencer, and Emily were sure that A would be somewhere there after their text earlier at school, and that it would be the best chance to finally catch them. Aria on the other hand... well she wasn't as confident.

She'd just finished with the doctor and as she had suspected all it had done was upset her more. Now she was heading to the room the nurse directed her to where the clinic offered counseling. The introductions were awkward and Aria felt weird but the women Jane seemed nice enough.

"So Aria, how far along are you" the counselor Jane asked as they sat down?

"The doctor said about ten weeks" Aria told her shyly. She was really uncomfortable but she needed to talk to somebody. She needed to discuss her options.

"Okay so that would make your due date at the beginning of June" Jane asked smiling?

"May 29th" Aria answered recalled what her doctor had just told her.

Jane nodded and smiled friendlily. "So Aria, how old are you" she asked?

When Aria didn't answer she added "Don't worry Aria. Nothing we discuss here goes beyond this room. I promise."

"Nothing" Aria asked checking worriedly?

"Promise. It'll be like secrets between best friends" Jane explained laughing.

Aria smiled slightly. Her and her best friends sure knew how to do that. "I'm sixteen" Aria answered her earlier question.

"Sixteen, that's young. I bet you're pretty scared" Jane told her. "I would know five years ago I was in your shoes" she said sympathetically.

"Seriously" Aria asked?

"Yep, the night of my junior prom I slept with my best friend's boyfriend. We were drunk but it happened and I found myself sitting right where you are now and I had to deal with it too. It was tough" Jane explained.

Aria nodded acknowledging her. That had to have been hard, but her situation was a little bit worse and slightly more, illegal, than that.

"Do you mind me asking how it turned out" Aria asked curiously?

"Of course not" Jane said. "Well at first I wanted an abortion. I went as far as making the appointment, I felt it was my only option. Then the day of the appointment came... and I couldn't bring myself to go. I realized I wanted that baby in my future. Long story short I lost my best friend, who by the way stayed with her boyfriend. But my parents were great, they were so supportive, truly my saviors. They helped me by letting me live with them and then taking care of the baby when I had classes. Now five years later" she said smiling, "I have my Bachelor of Arts degree in both Sociology and Social Work and I have a happy, beautiful four year old daughter."

Aria smiled softly.

"Aria are you considering abortion" Jane asked her?

Aria nodded her head as her smile disappeared from her face and put her hands on her stomach sadly.

"Don't feel guilty. This was not your fault, things happen. I didn't choose abortion because I saw my future and it had my daughter in it. It wouldn't be fair to a child to brought into this world when you don't want it and on the same point it really wouldn't be fair to yourself to keep yourself in a miserable situation. Do what you feel is best for you and noone else. Whatever that may be" Jane soothed. "Have you told the father" she asked?

"No, I can't. He's..." Aria paused for a second trying to think of the right wording. "I can't tell him. He's older, we should have never been together anyway. He broke up with me last month" Aria explained as several tears rolled down her cheek and she sat there with her hands still rested on her belly.

Just then Aria's phone went off. She wiped her face off and tried to regain her composure before looking down at her phone.

Rock a bye baby on the tree top, when the wind blows... you know I'm out there watching Bitch. Looks like your teacher gave you more than just A's for your shall we call it 'services'. - - A

Read the text message.

A few hours later she was in the middle of the woods with her friends and a bunch of other people. Mona's party turned out to be just as annoying and aggravating as Aria had expected. It was getting later in the evening and Aria still could not get her mind off that message. 'How in the hell could A know already? And why couldn't whoever it was just leave her alone... at least about this of all freaking things' she thought sadly.

Aria just wished she could have went home after he appointment... went home and slept and cried. But Hannah wouldn't hear of her skipping this. "If A is watching you guys, I'll be watching them" Hannah had said that afternoon after being uninvited to the party and after receiving A's latest message to the four of them.

She stood with Emily and Spencer feeling extremely uncomfortable and truly wishing she were anywhere but here now. Aria's phone began buzzing once more. Emily and Spencer looked at her and they all knew what the others were thinking. A had said they'd hear from them tonight and they had yet to do so, well Aria had but not in the way A had mentioned earlier.

Aria looked down at her phone and read the message.

I need to see you - - Ezra

"Was it..." Emily asked not finishing her sentence. There was no need to, we all knew she was referring to our not so friendly stalker.

"No. My mom" she answered in a lie staring at the text message.

She was lost. She didn't know what to do... about anything anymore. The baby, A knowing, or now Ezra's text.
