Chapter 3

The Games That Play Us

Twenty minutes later Aria sat in the woods alone. She was still staring at her phone, staring at Ezra's words. She knew she would have to eventually acknowledge him but right now she was still having trouble processing the events from earlier that afternoon.

"I thought I was doing right thing," Ezra said sadly.

"For you," Aria's voice snapped back, "Not for me."

"That's not true," he responded.

Yes, that afternoon had been painful. She wanted to be with him again to have him hold her, kiss her. But she was scared. Scared of what his reaction might be about her being pregnant, scared of A possibly ratting them out the way they'd done about nearly everything else thus far, and above all... scared of being rejected and hurt again.

"Honestly I don't know which of your stories to believe anymore! The-the 'I thought about you every second I was gone' story, or the ones that ended with I'm outa here. But it wasn't my age that ruined us, Ezra, you did" Aria yelled at her teacher.

As the words replayed in her head, she couldn't deny it. They needed to talk.

Im out at the old campground near wright playground. I think i can get away for a bit if u cud meet me - - Aria

It was only seconds after Aria had sent the text message that she got a reply.

Thank u. Ill meet u in the wooded area past the parking lot. be there in 10 min - - Ezra

As Aria sat waiting, she thought back to her appointment. She only had two weeks left to decide if she getting the abortion because she was already so far along. She really had to seriously think about it. There were so many reasons why she thought it was the best solution. She didn't want to be a teenage mother, she didn't want to bring an innocent child into her fucked up world. Then there was Ezra, if anyone found out she was having his child, he would end up in jail... and as angry with him as she was she loved him and did not think he should be punished for them being together. Lastly their was A. A had already killed Allison, and they made it perfectly clear they wanted the rest of them dead. A knew about the baby... what if they tried to hurt it. As she sat there a reason for keeping it, the first since she'd found out, popped into her head. "It's Ezra's baby. It's a baby that made by the both of you, out of love." Aria heard in her head.

She shook her head trying to clear the thought. No she couldn't do this now, couldn't think of this now she thought. She was going to be meeting Ezra in a few minutes and despite the poem, despite her feelings for him, she couldn't have him find out about the pregnancy.

Aria made her through trees and looked around quickly hoping nobody was watching before she got into the passenger seat of Ezra's silver car.

Little did they know they were not alone.

Hanna sat in the woods with a pair of binoculars, looking out over the road. She was startled when she saw a car pull up near her. She tried to get a better look but it was too dark all she could see was a person wearing dark clothes and a hood over their head open the passenger side door. This figure slipped into the car as Hanna continued to watch.

Back at the campground after being unable to find Aria, Emily and Spencer set out alone to find Wright Playground. Spencer was sure that there they would find something, something to do with Allison or A.

"Thanks for coming" Ezra said. Aria slipped her hood off and looked at him. "I don't blame you for being angry. I deserve it, I was a coward! I should have fought for you"

"Yeah why didn't you" Aria asked coldly, not looking him in the eye? She was hurt, but she knew the moment she looked into his eyes she wouldn't be able to stay strong and resist him.

Ezra turned to face her. "I was wrong" he said sadly as he moved his face closer to her. "Forgive me" he asked quietly?

"No" Aria whispered barely able to speak. She couldn't breath, she couldn't look at him. She had to stay strong, she couldn't go through this again she told herself.

"Forgive me" Ezra repeated this time in a whisper, getting closer so that as he spoke she could feel his breath on her face.

Aria couldn't respond her voice wouldn't work. His lips were nearly touching hers now and she couldn't take it. She broke the distance between them and pushed her lips to his. Ezra responded without hesitation and kissed her back passionately. They had both missed this.

Just then Hanna let out a gasp. "Aria" she whispered in shock after realizing who the couple in the car was. Before she could give the situation much thought she was distracted by another figure.

I See You - - A the person wrote on the back window of the car.

This was what she had been waiting for. They had came here with the intent of catching A and here they were. She picked up her phone and dialed Aria. She called repeatedly but continued to get no response. Just then the person took off through the trees giving Hanna a glimpse of their face. Her jaw dropped in shock but she didn't have time to think. She hopped down and took off after them.

Aria sat in Ezra's car with her head rested on the seat staring into Ezra's eyes quietly.

"I love you Aria" he whispered to her breaking the silence as brushing her hair back out of her face.

"Ezra I can't do this right now. I have so much going on right now" Aria told him as she felt her eyes well up with tears. "It's not that I don't want to. But you hurt me, you really hurt me when I thought you were the one person I could trust."

"Aria please, I said I was sorry. I was scared I never meant to hurt you" Ezra pleaded taking her hand in his.

"You know what. I believe you. But it doesn't change the fact that it happened" Aria told him as tears started falling. 'I'm scared too, everyday, of everything the only difference is I can't run' Aria thought to herself.

"I'm not saying no. You just... you have to give me some time. Please" Aria whispered as she put her hand gently on his cheek seeing his hurt face.

Ezra nodded quietly. Aria's phone began buzzing and she looked down seeing she had 4 missed calls and a new text message.

Meet me in the parking lot! I know who A is - - Hanna

Aria swallowed trying to clear her throat. "I have to go" she said in a low voice looking back up at Ezra.

He merely nodded sadly again. Ezra lent in and kissed her on the cheek before she got out and he drove off.

She sighed deeply as she tried to clear her wet face of tears. She shook her head and took off towards the parking lot. She couldn't believe it. After all this time they were finally going to find out who A was. She tried to feel relieved... but she couldn't she only felt scared. Them finding A would only make A more angry. Maybe angry enough to spill the rest of their secrets, maybe angry enough to turn Ezra and her in, and possibly angry enough to kill.

"Aria there you are" Spencer said as they ran into each other a few yards from the parking lot.

"Did you get the message from Hanna too" Emily asked?

"Ya, come on we should hurry" Aria told them not wanting the attention to be on her whereabouts.

As they got to the parking lot they saw Hanna. They looked around and Hanna started running towards them. They met in the middle of the parking lot. "I know who A is" Hanna said out of breath. They were all distracted by bright lights coming towards them. Realizing it was a car that was not slowing down they scattered. Hanna didn't make it.

The car hit Hanna going full speed. Hanna lay on the ground unconscious and bleeding everywhere.

"Hanna, Hanna" Aria repeated over and over again trying to help her friend. "She's not breathing" she cried.

Spencer and Emily cried loudly for help, Just then Spencer's phone buzzed not thinking scared to death she opened the message and the three girls read...

She knew too much - - A

They were all crying in hysterics now. "Help" Aria screamed loudly into the quiet night.
