A/N: Thanks so much for all the reviews! I got 12 within 3 hours! And a total of 20, so thank you! I was planning on updating on Friday, but I have finals coming up and I REALLY needed to study otherwise I might end up being a super senior haha Well any who here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
Aria's P.O.V
I kept crying, and then I heard Wes come in. He started crying too. We both watched as the doctors tried everything to bring him back, but they failed.
"I'm sorry, we tried everything we could, we will be back in a few" the doctor said
"NOO!Ezra! NOO!" I cried as Wes held me back
"Thank you doctor" Wes said
"Again, I'm sorry" the doctor said leaving
I couldn't believe it. Ezra was gone. Gone forever. Gone without knowing how I really feel about him, gone without knowing he has a daughter. Why? This is all my fault.
"Wes, please tell me this isn't real. Please." I pleaded
"Aria, I'm sorry, it hurts me too, but it is real"
"No, he can't be dead, Sophie needs him, I need him" I cried
"Sophie? Who's Sophie?" Wes asked
I stood there frozen. I couldn't believe I blew it. I had no idea what to say. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Excuse me? Which one of you is a family member?" the nurse asked
"I'm his brother" Wes said standing up
"Can you please come with me? The doctors has a few things he would like to discuss with you"
"Yeah. Aria I will be back soon and then we can finish talking" Wes said
"Yeah, O.K"
As soon as the door was shut, I ran over to a lifeless Ezra. I cried for so long, it felt I had no more tears to shed
"Ezra. Why? Why? I love you! I need you here. And now you're gone, what am I supposed to do without you. It's all my fault. This is all my fault. Ezra, I love you so much you don't even know. But now, I guess it's time to say goodbye. I love you Ezra, and I will always will. I don't care if you're here or not, but for me, you'll always be in my heart. Goodbye babe, I love you" I said
Then I sobbed uncontrollably. I decided to finally leave but not without giving him a last kiss. I stood up and ran my hand through his hair before bending down and placing my lips on his. I kissed him softly and made the best of our last kiss. As I was getting back up, I heard a beep. I looked over at the heart monitor and his heart was beating again. I quickly kissed him again before going out and calling the doctor in again. After a few doctors checked what had happened, they confirmed that Ezra was alive again.
"This never happens. It truly is a miracle that he is alive" the doctor explained
"So what happens now?" I asked
"Well it appears he will be in a coma for a while. He should wake up in a few weeks. It could happen sooner, but there is also that chance that he might never wake up. But from what I've seen just now, this coma is noting too serious, now if you both could leave the room, there is still a lot of tests we need to run to make sure of this. We will call you guys back when you can see him again"
Wes and I went out into the waiting room. We got coffee and sat down.
"Aria, what happened?" Wes asked
"I don't know, I kissed him and then the heart monitor started beeping again. I have no idea how, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that he is here with us."
"Yeah, this really is a miracle. Now about what we were talking about earlier, who is Sophie Aria?
"Um-, "I was interrupted by his phone
"It's my mom. Shit! What am I supposed to tell her? Should I tell her what happened" he asks
"Yeah, I guess." I told him
"Ok I will be back"
When he left I called the girls and told them what had happened. They were now on their way down and they had convinced me to tell Wes about Sophie.
"I told her and she panicked a lot. The earliest she can make it here is in a week" Wes told me
"Hey Aria, we're here. Are you ok? Anything new?" the girls asked
"Nope. Nothing new. You guys remember Wes right?" I asked
"Yea, hey Wes we're sorry about what happened" Spencer said
"Thanks, thank god he is ok now though" Wes said "And who is this little girl" he asked
"Well, we will be in the cafeteria. Is there anything else you need us to do" Emily asked
"Yeah, can one of you drop by work and tell them about what happened with Sophie"
"Will do" Hanna said "Bye"
I walked over to the couch in the waiting room and sat down in front of Wes.
"She's Ezra's isn't she" Wes asked
I nodded and then started crying.
"But please don't say anything. Please. I'm trusting you with this. Don't tell Ezra and please don't mention it to your mom. It's a long story, but I can't say anything. I just thought you needed to know."
"Aria, I won't tell but what exactly happened. This is why you left right? Aria, what happened? Did my mom have something to do with this? Aria, please just tell me" he said
"I can't. Not now. What matters is that you have a niece. Her name is Sophie and she is 18 months old." I look at Sophie "baby, this is your uncle Wes, your daddy's brother. Can you say hi?" I ask her
Sophie managed to whisper a "hi".
"She is adorable Aria. She looks a lot like him. Can I hold her?" he asks
"Of course" I say and hand him Sophie
"Hey there Sophie. I'm your uncle Wes. You're so cute." He says "Aria, I never got the chance to ask you why you were already at the hospital"
"Sophie was just a little sick, but as you can see she's doing a lot better. Well Anyway Sophie and I had a long night, and we need our rest. Call me if there is anything you need. And please promise me you won't tell anyone about Sophie."
"Aria-"
"Wes, please promise me. Please"
"OK. I promise. Now go home and get some rest. Take care of Sophie and see you soon"
Sophie and I went home. Once I was home the girls came over again and we explained to everyone what had happened with both Sophie and with Ezra. It got late pretty quick and the girls left. Leaving me with just my parents and Mike.
"Aria, don't you think Ezra should know about his daughter? I mean you did almost lose him forev-" I cut Ella off
"Mom, I know, but I can't. I want to tell him so bad but I just can't. Now it's getting late and I'm really tired."
"Aria, mom's right. Just tell him." Mike added
"I can't. Now goodnight everyone, Sophie go give everyone their goodnight kiss" I said getting up from the table
"Goodnight Aria, Night Cheerio" Mike said
Sophie and I soon fell into a deep slumber. We were both tired from the long night before. I couldn't keep myself from feeling extremely thankful that Ezra was alive. Because even if I couldn't be with him, all that matters is that he is still living.
2 days later
I had just finished my day at work. I was anxious to see Ezra again. I hadn't seen him since Monday morning when everything happened. I called Wes and told him I would be stopping by. I got to the Hospital shortly.
"Hey Wes, how's it going" I asked
"Good"
"How's Ezra been doing?
"A lot better actually. The doctors say he's recovering really fast and he should be awake in no time. Well I'm going to go to the bathroom and that will give some time alone with him." Wes said
"Thanks." I said giving him a hug
I watched as Wes walked out and went over to Ezra.
"Hey baby. I hear you're doing a lot better. Keep it up. We all love you and need you hear. Look Ezra, I'm sorry I said all those hurtful words to you, I didn't mean them. I love you Ezra and I need you here with me. You need to wake up so you can meet your baby girl. We need you here, all of us. I need to make sure you know I love you, so please babe, wake up soon" I said and then kissed his forehead.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I heard a voice ask
