A/N: thanks again for the reviews and here is the next chapter. Hope you enjoy it!

Ezra's P.O.V

Had I really seen her? Or were my eyes just seeing things? No! It was her. I would recognize that beautiful face anytime. But why is she back? How long has she been back? All the questions where swirling in my head. Most importantly, why did she walk out of the restaurant in such a rush? It was great seeing her again, but no matter how good it felt seeing her, even for a second, it brought back all the pain and bad memories. Why did she have to leave? Why? After the most amazing summer in Italy, after proposing to her, after begging to plan our wedding, she just left. She left without giving me a reason. Without saying goodbye. No matter how hard I thought of reasons, I still couldn't understand why she just left. She loved me, or at least I thought she did. I'm still confused to this day, I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or if she just got tired of me. But we were engaged. ENGAGED. I was looking forward to getting married, having kids with my one and only love. But I guess girls don't want to marry me. First Jackie, then Aria. But Aria running off was different. To this day I still love her with all my heart and my heart can't seem to heal. For weeks I called her friends and parents, asking, hell, even begging for information on why and where she had gone, but never got an answer. After a while I decided to give up and my mom convinced me to go live with her. Maybe Mom was right about Aria; maybe she wasn't the best for me. My thoughts were broken when I heard a knock on my door.

"Yo! Wats up?" Hardy asked as he came inside

"Not much, just thinking. I need to talk to you though"

" Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, it's just Aria." I sighed

"What about her"

"She's back in Rosewood, I don't know how long she's been back I mean I just got back yesterday, but seeing her…" I sighed "It just hurt so much"

"Ezra, man, I know what she did was hard on you, but I know for sure she loved you, you are reunited two years later, maybe it's a sign maybe it's not, but you need to talk to her Ezra, you can't go back to those days when you were depressed, I'm not going to let you hurt yourself more. Just talk to her"

"I can't yet Hardy; she obviously doesn't want anything to do with me. She ran out as soon as she saw me. I just can't look at her without hurting, I can't talk to her." I looked down "not to be rude or anything, but can we maybe continue this later, I'm still tired from unpacking"

"Sure, man, but think about what I said" then he walked out.

I did need to talk to Aria. I need to hear her voice, get so many answers from her, but I can't. I just can't. I decide to lie down and rest for a while, hoping I would be able to erase Aria from my mind

Aria's P.O.V

I guess I was asleep for a while because next thing I knew I checked my phone and it was eight. I felt around for Sophie, but I guess my mom took her down. Soon after I felt my stomach growl and decided to change into my pajamas and then go eat, but before my mind drifted to the dream I had. It only made me tear up and made my heart hurt. Why did Ezra's mom have to do this to us? She made me seem like the worst person ever and she made me hurt Ezra, something I would never do. And now Ezra probably hates me. I don't know how I'm going to make all this love I still have go away. I love him so much, but I can't ruin his life. Dianne warned me. I'm here in Rosewood for 2 more weeks, but I feel I have to go earlier. I can't be anywhere near him, I won't be able handle it. I don't know what to do. I finally decide to go downstairs.

"Hey mom, sorry about sleeping for so long, but I had a bad day"

"I know sweetie, Spencer called and told me all about what happened today"

"Mom, I can't even describe how I felt seeing him again, thank god Sophie was with Hanna, otherwise everything would be ruined. Mom what am I supposed to do now? I can't risk him seeing me again. He can't see Sophie."

"Aria, honey, you need to talk to him, explain everything, you can't just keep running away from him forever, Sophie will always be there reminding you of him."

"I can't do that. I promised his mom, I'm not going to ruin his life. You don't know all his mom will do just to get it her way. I leave back to Washington on the 1st of October, I have to go back to work, but I'm sorry mom, I need to leave sooner. I just have to" I said panicked

"Aria, after all this time not seeing you or my granddaughter, I'm not going to let you leave. You came here for my birthday Aria, don't just leave. You can't keep doing this sweetie just face your problems, don't go out with Sophie, stay hidden I don't care, but please don't leave yet." Ella pleaded

"Ok mom, I'll stay, where's Sophie by the way?" I asked

"Playing with her uncle Mike, I don't think I've seen him this happy for a while, he absolutely adores Sophie" Ella said

"Well I will be back, I'm gonna go hang out with them"

I got up and walked into the living room where I saw Mike playing blocks with Sophie. A while later he was playing peek-a-boo.

"Where's my little cheerio?" mike said covering his eyes "there she is"

Sophie giggled uncontrollably. I never imagined Mike would like Sophie this much. I checked my phone and saw all this text and missed calls from the girl. I called them back and we were all going to meet at Spencer's place. It wasn't too late, so I decided to bring Sophie with me.

"Hey, wonderful uncle, I hate to end the fun, but Sophie and I have to go out, we will be back In like an hour, we are going over to Spencer's" I picked Sophie up and drove over to Spencer's. Hopefully they would give me some advice on what to do.

"Hey" I said walking into the apartment

"Hey, are you feeling better" Spencer asked and then took Sophie from me "How's my little princess?" Spencer asked Sophie

"Hey, she's my princess" Hannah argued back, taking Sophie from her

"You guys, I'm sure she loves you all the same" I laughed and sat down with all them

"So back to the question, are you feeling better?" Emily asked

"Yeah, but seeing him just made everything fall apart. I mean, why after all this time you guys said he was gone, suddenly decide to show up again. I can't risk seeing me, he definitely can't see Sophie, guys I'm so confused. I don't know how to hide for the next 2 weeks. I told my mom I was going to leave earlier but she really wants me to spend time with her. I mean I want to too, but why? Why is he back?" I said begging to tear up

"I'm sorry, I know it's tough but Aria, don't you think you've suffered enough. You can't just let her control you. I'm sure if you talk with Ezra, both of you will find a way to make it work. I know you still love him and he does too, don't run away again, talk to him because if you don't, you'll regret forever" Emily said

"She's right" both Hanna and Spencer agreed
"I don't know you guys, I just need time to think, I'm here for two more weeks I can get away with it I can't ruin Ezra's life anymore." I cried

"Cry it all out, we are here for you" Spencer said before hugging me

And that's what I did. I cried for what seemed like hours. I loved Ezra so much but can't do this to him and that hurt even more, not being able to see him, hug him, kiss him, but most importantly not being able to tell him he has the most beautiful daughter. I needed Ezra; I knew I had to talk to him. I went home and tried falling asleep, but couldn't. After a few hours of tossing and turning I got up, blocked my number and finally dialed the number I had avoided for two years. I needed to hear his voice. I just had to. After a few rings, he finally answered.

"Hello?"
