Author Notes: I know some readers were not happy with some of the story lines I have chosen to write. I am reminding you that this is my story and I can write it the way I want it to. Please be nice in the reviews. I don't like reading "You are ruining your story" or "I hate this story". A better review would be "I think your story would be better if you did this ..." or "I think this should happen ... instead of this ...". Please give this story more of a chance as it only can get better.
I am still fairly new at writing and I can only improve with each chapter. For those of you that wanted Riley biological father to be Ezra, I think you will be happy in the end. Like I mentioned in a previous chapter. "DNA doesn't make a family, Love does." This quote was taken from another ABC Family show "The Fosters".
I made this choice to make Jason the biological father of Riley because I wanted Jason to be a important part of this story. I still want and plan to keep Ezria together even though there will be some bumps along the road with their marriage and other things that might happen to them in the future.
Just a little clue on what might happen in upcoming chapters or later on in the story: Ezria might get into another fight that causes Aria to maybe make a decision she regrets which Ezra may find out about. Ezras mom comes into town for about a month to celebrate Christmas and the New Years holiday with her son and granddaughters that may cause another strain on Ezrias relationship. Old feelings between two characters might resurface but they won't last very long. Aria may think she is pregnant but it might just be a false alarm. Aria will get a offer for a tour but will she take it? Jason offers to manage this tour for her but Aria and Ezra have different opinions about what that means.
Back on Stage for the First time in a Few Years
Aria's POV
I was so excited but nervous at the same time to get up on a big stage and sing to a crowd tonight. Over the past few years I have only had a few concerts on smaller stages and a small audience. The day started out like a normal Saturday. Ezra made breakfast for everyone then we spent some quality family time together. We spent most of the day relaxing until later. Ezra dropped me off Nokia theater LA live. Ezra, his mom, and the kids went out to dinner because there was still over 2 hours until the show started.
I was in my dressing room. I ate some food before I got my performance outfit on. After that there was a lady who did my hair and makeup. Waiting back stage is the hardest thing for me. Ezra texted me saying that they just got here and were siting in one of the first few rows so I should be able to see him when I am out there preforming. I was still in my dressing room waiting for the show to start. Jason was my manager so of course I had to see him tonight and that time was now.
"I wanted to wish you good luck. I also need to tell you that the order changed so you are now singing one song to open the show and one song to end the show." Jason said
"How is that possible because I told you I didn't want to go first or last?" I asked
"I'm sorry but I didn't have the final decision in the order." Jason said
"I'm not blaming you but I wish you would have told me sooner." I said
"I didn't even know until a little while ago because the singing order got changed last minute." Jason said
At least for the first song I wasn't singing solo. India Menzel, Demi Lovato and I were singing "Let it Go" from the Disney movie "Frozen". I wasn't nervous at all for this song. I was able to find my family in the audience, Both Riley and Lucy were singing along to this song since they both love the song. I wouldn't be singing again until the end so I was able to watch most of the rest of the show from the TV in my dressing room that was playing the live show.
The final song of the night and my solo performance is my original song "Mistletoe" (by Lucy Hale). I just wrote the song and this is the first time I will be singing it to a public audience. Ezra, His mom, Riley, and Lucy heard the song earlier today when I was at home rehearsing it. After the permanence was over everyone that sang tonight walked on the stage to bow.
A little while later I was in my dressing room getting ready to leave.
"You did great tonight." Jason said
"Thanks, It's been a while since I have been on a stage in front of a large crowd." I said
"So there is an after party tonight in Hollywood and every who performed plus the managers are invited." Jason said
"I'm not really into the partying mood plus Ezra dropped me off here earlier so I would have to go home to get my car." I said
"I'm going so I would be happy to give you a ride." Jason said
"No, I'm to tired for a party plus I'm the only one of the singers that has a family." I said
"No problem but you are going to have to go to a after show party at some point." Jason said
"I know but tonight isn't a good night. Besides those parties are for people who got success in their careers. Why would I go when I feel like my career was a failure." I said
"It doesn't matter how many hit songs or albums you have because Aria you still have a singing career." Jason said
"It has been years since the last time I have heard one of my songs on the radio. My first album was out 6 years ago and I haven't been able to make another one since. I had a tour offer once but I had to turn it down because it was bad timing." I said
Jason left and I took a quick 15 minute nap because I was really tired
I was meeting Everyone in the lobby so we could go home. I thought to my self it would have been nice if all my friends could have been here tonight but it was a live televised event so they had promised to watch me on TV. I saw Ezra but I saw him with the woman that looked just like me. I saw her last night at Riley's choir concert as well. Something didn't feel right. I could tell from a distance that Ezra thought it was me. Ezra kissed that woman just as I was walking up to him.
"What's going on? Your not my wife." Ezra said
"I don't care who you are but you need to leave now." I said and she left
"Aria, I'm so sorry this isn't my fault." Ezra said
"We will talk about later but right now I want to go home." I said
"We will as soon as my mom gets out of the bathroom with Riley and Lucy." Ezra said
I looked over to where the bathrooms were and noticed how long the line was. It's a good thing I had a private bathroom in my dressing room.
"For future reference they probably would have been able to go backstage and use the bathroom in my dressing room." I said
"I tried to go backstage and find you but security stopped me." Ezra said
A short time later we left and headed home. Both girls were falling asleep on the way home. Riley woke up when we got home but Lucy was sound asleep. Ezra had to carry Lucy into the house and take her upstairs. Soon though Lucy would be to old for Ezra to carry her all the time. Ezra's mom was helping Riley get ready for bed so I had some free time.
I was the only one downstairs at the moment and all of the sudden I heard this loud noise. I didn't know what it was so I made sure everything was alright upstairs. It sounded like someone was trying to break in. I hoped that wasn't the case because this neighborhood is the safest one in LA. Nothing has happened in this neighborhood since Ezra and I moved in.
I walked into the kitchen and that is when I noticed the broken glass. I didn't know what to do so I ran upstairs to get Ezra. I almost called 911 but I figured who ever it was would be gone before the police arrived. Ezra and I went back downstairs. Nothing appeared to be missing at the moment. Ezra found my look a like hiding.
"Are you the one that broke in here?" Ezra asked
"Yes but I didn't mean any harm. I just needed a place to sleep." She said
"You can sleep in a jail cell because breaking and entering is a crime." Ezra said
"Please don't call the cops. I will pay for the broken window." she said
"I have seen you around town and I don't who you are but you need to leave or we will call the cops." I said
"I'm your twin sister Ariana Young." she said
"Prove it." I said
"I was adopted from birth. It was a closed adoption but a few months ago I figured out who my biological family is." she said
"If this is true why would my parents separate us?" I asked
"I guess they only wanted one kid at the time." she said
"Ezra, What are we going to do?" I asked
"We let Ariana stay the night on the couch. In the morning we will figure something out because she can't stay here." Ezra said
We gave Ariana some sheets so she could turn the couch into a bed for the night. Ezra and I were getting ready for bed. We had to talk even though I really didn't want to.
"Ezra, what if Ariana was telling the truth?" I asked
"It doesn't matter if Ariana was telling the truth. I can't let you, our girls, or my mom get hurt. Something is off about Ariana and we can't trust her at all." Ezra said
"Your right Ariana gives me this bad feeling and just letting her stay one night is more then we should have allowed." I said
"So we should call the cops in the morning and have Ariana arrested." Ezra said
"I think that is the best thing." I said
The next morning Ezra and I woke up to a quiet house. Riley and Lucy were both still asleep in Riley's room while their grandma had slept in Lucy's bedroom last night. I walked downstairs first and noticed Ariana was gone but I did find a note along with her original birth certificate. She was telling the truth last night. I knew I was going to have a long conversation with my parents and I wasn't looking forward to it. I told Ezra when he walked down the stairs.
"She's gone." I said
"She had to be lying then." Ezra said
"No, Ariana was telling the truth. She left a copy of her birth certificate along with a note saying the she didn't want to mess up my life." I said
"Do you still want to call the cops?" Ezra asked
"Yes but what are we supposed to tell them?" I asked
"The truth Aria." Ezra said
We called the police first and explained everything. We were lucky that Ariana hadn't taken anything except for the emergency cash that was kept in an empty band aid box. Ezra and I realize that we should have called the cops last night but we didn't because Ariana acted innocent. We also had to call the homeowners insurance company to deal with the broken window.
