A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! Here's the next chapter!
Aria's P.O.V
"E-Ezra?" I asked in disbelief
I couldn't believe it was him. It had been so long since I had last seen him and now he looks so much better. I stood there frozen not knowing what else to say. All I really wanted to do was hug him and tell him how happy I was that he is a whole lot better, but I can't do that.
"Aria" he said
"Well, I see you're doing a lot better. That's good. But I'm really busy so whatever you want make it quick. Wait a sec, how did you even know where to find me?"
"I asked around. Can I come in? We need to talk" he said
"Ezra, there is nothing to talk about, didn't I make myself clear the last time? I don't want you near me, now I have a lot to do so if you would please leave" I said shutting the door
I take my phone out and I see I have a text from Ella saying Sophie is spending the night. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the door open.
"You know what? I don't care, I just need you to listen to me" he said, now inside
"Ezra Get out!" I yelled
"NO Aria, I'm not leaving. We need to talk."
"Ezra, why are you even here? There's nothing to talk about, I don't want to ever see you again"
"I'm here because I love you" he said getting closer to me "and I know you love me too"
He was now looking directly into my eyes. I wanted to tell him I loved him too, but Dianne's threats kept coming back to me and I came back to reality.
"Ez-"
But I was soon cut off. Before I could stop it his lips were already on mine. Kissing me passionately, making up for those two years he couldn't kiss me. After a few minutes I finally broke the kiss pushing him away.
"Ezra, don't ever kiss me again!" I yelled
I soon felt the tears coming. I did my best to hold them back but failed
"Just leave" I said now in tears
"Aria, stop pretending like you don't love me because I know you still do"
"Well you're wrong" I said "How can I still love you if I never loved you in the first place?"
"Really? Then you're going to deny the fact that you went to visit me while in the hospital? You're going to deny all those things you said to me?" he pulled me closer to him "You're going to deny you were afraid of losing me forever?"
"Just go" I said
I tried to escape his grasp but he is so much stronger than me and only pulled me closer to him once again. I couldn't take it anymore. I broke down in tears and buried my head into his chest.
"Why do you have to make this so hard on me" I asked in between sobs
"Aria" he said lifting my head up so I could now see him "I know everything now, you can stop pretending" he said softly
Did he really know or was this just a trick so he could find out what was going on. I really didn't care but I wasn't about to ruin his life again.
"I don't know what you're talking about" I said pulling away from him
I was starting to walk away but he grabbed my arm and pulled me back closer to him. Our faces now inches away.
"Ezra, let me go before I scream" I said
"I know everything my mom did. It's ok now Aria." He said hugging me tight "It's ok"
"No, it's not okay, I hurt you so much"
At this point, I collapsed on the floor crying. I didn't even know what I was feeling. I just had to cry and let it all out. Ezra just held me there with him. I could tell he was now crying too. After spending a few minutes just holding each other, letting all our pain out, Ezra finally got up and helped me up too.
"I'm sorry" I finally managed to say "I'm sorry for everything"
"Ari-."But I cut him off by running into his arms
"Do you know how hard it was to pretend to not love you? To- stay away from you for two years, and when you were in the accident -I felt like I was going to die just thinking I could lose you forever, and when I heard the heart monitor stop, I felt the whole world crashing down on me. You don't know how happy I felt when I heard your heart beating again" I said in between sobs
"Shh baby, I know. Don't cry anymore" he said hugging me tighter
"How did you find out? Who told you? I asked
"No one. You see while I was in a coma, I heard everything around me, once I woke up I felt like it was a dream, but the more I thought about it, the more real it seemed. One night I had a whole dream with flashbacks, you telling me you loved me, your argument with my mom, and other bits and pieces, I wanted to make sure and Wesley confirmed it did happen. How could I be so stupid and not realize it was my mom behind all this. How could she do this to us? She completely ruined our lives, before her we were perfectly happy, we were engaged, happily engaged Aria, and she had to come ruin it. Aria why didn't you tell me before?"
"Ezra, I couldn't let her hurt you, I had already screwed up your life bad enough, you even said so" I said remembering our fight before his accident
"Aria you know I didn't mean it. I was mad, I was hurt but I didn't mean it. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me"
"You said you hated me" I said looking down "that killed me, I thought you really did hate me, I mean you had a reason to but my heart broke into a million pieces"
"Babe, I only said I hated you because I was embarrassed, I really though you meant all that you said." He said and I looked down ashamed
"Aria, look at me" he said cupping my face in his hands "I could never hate you, no matter what happens, all this love I have for you, will always be there. I will always love you. Do you know how much I've missed you these past two years?"
I started crying again thinking back to all those times where I would cry myself to sleep missing him also.
"I've missed everything about you" he continued "Your face, your hair, your calls, your texts, that beautiful smile you have, your voice, your beautiful eyes, but most of all, I missed the feeling I get every time I'm with you." He said placing his hand on my cheek
"Ezra, I've missed you so much too" I said
I soon forgot about everything. I attacked his lips with mine, kissing him, our tongues battling for dominance. Kissing like we've never kissed before. I could feel so much with just this kiss. I could feel the love between us, our shared pain, and mostly I could feel the need between us. It felt so good to be able to kiss him without having to worry about the consequence. After a heated make out session that lasted a while I finally pulled back for air.
"I love you Aria"
"I love you too"
I quickly attacked his lips once again. He lifted me up and led us to the bed. He gently put me down before taking his shirt off. He went back to kissing me, this time sucking on my neck and leaving soft kisses behind. Soon this lead to more and before we knew it, we were making love again. After two years of not being able to be with him, it was finally happing. My happiness was indescribable, it all felt like a dream, but it wasn't. It was real. I was finally able to be with Ezra again. Finally able to admit my true feelings. I'm now resting my head on Ezra's chest. I was so happy and caught up in the moment I completely forgot about Sophie. Did he know? He didn't mention it at all, but he did say he knew everything. I really didn't want to ruin the moment right now. I would ask him tomorrow or something. I look up to find him sleeping. I slowly get up, not wanting to wake him up and give him a soft kiss on the cheek. I start to get up but soon feel two strong arms pulling me back.
"Where do you think you're going?" a sleepy Ezra asked
"I'm going to go shower before I go to bed" I say
"I just got you back, just stay here with me a while longer" he said
"Ok" I said snuggling into his arms "Can you believe this is real?" I ask
"No, it all seems like a dream, but thankfully it's not"
"Wait, how did you know I lived here now?" I ask
"Well I asked Spencer where I could find you since no one was at your parents' house and she said you had your own place and well here I am"
"Wow." I laughed
"What, I was willing to do anything to see and talk to you again.
We were silently laying there for a while when I finally had to ask him what I had been wondering.
"Does your mom know that you know the truth yet?"
"Nope. Not yet"
"Ezra, I don't want you to get in trouble because of me"
"I don't care what happens Aria, I love you and that's all that matter" he said
I started crying again. Still finding this too good to be true. I tried to hide my tears but a few of them escaped.
"Aria, babe, don't cry anymore, just enjoy them moment. Let's just be happy we are with each other once again. Just think how big our love is."
"I love you Ezra" I said
And the whole night was spent making up for those two long years we had spent apart. My night couldn't have been any better.
