The jet black car came speeding around the corner, almost out of nowhere. The tinted windows camouflaged the driver, but a silhouette could still be seen through the glass as they sped towards Aria Montgomery. There was no going back now.
Aria didn't see it coming.
She released Ezra's hand to cross the road, stopping in the middle of it to spin around and wait for him. That's when the car picked up speed, and all that could be heard was the cry of Ezra, and the scream of his one true love as I hit her, and Aria flew over the hood of the car, everything going in slow motion.
He was completely frozen as he watched her roll along the hood of the car until she hit the floor again, laying still for a moment in a crumpled pile. Her life had practically flashed before her eyes.
Meeting Ezra at the bar, sneaking around with him, there first time having sex. And then a baby, out of nowhere came to mind, whimpering and gripping for something in Ezra's arms, whilst Aria looked over his shoulder. Obviously, it was all over to quickly and she was soon left with the pain that the car had caused, an unbearable yell came from her lips. After finally getting his feet to work, Ezra was there in seconds, dropping beside her to look her over.
"Where does it hurt?!" He stuttered out urgently, becoming more and more panicked about it all. He frantically looked over every inch of her, small sobs slipping through his lips every now and then when it all got too much.
"Ezra." Aria said softly, taking him by the chin to look her in the eye. "It's just my leg, I'm fine." The guy nodded, mentally slapping himself for being so fussy. But then, his girlfriend had just been hit by a car, one that had no plans on stopping for the world. It certainly wasn't an accident, that was for sure. "Just call someone." Ezra was surprised by how cool about this Aria was being, but he could see that it was killing her. Legs didn't look that way usually. It was at a funny angle, and it obviously caused her pain. Ezra pulled his phone out, scrolling past the many missed calls from Wesley.
"Hello? Yes, I need an ambulance."

"Hey, I love you." Aria laughed, repeating it over and over again. As amusing as it was, it was serious. They had Aria hyped up on all kinds of medication to block out the pain of her leg, before it could be properly fixed. "Psssst, Ezra. I love you."
"I know you do." Ezra said for the hundredth time, texting Ella to inform her of the incident. "I love you too."Aria pushed out her lips in a pout at Ezra's dry tone, folding her arms across her chest. He sighed, leaning over her bed to press his lips to hers. "Better?"
"I want to go homeeee." She whined after a moment. This Aria was so much better than the stubborn one he would've been getting around this time. It was one am, and all Ezra wanted to do was sleep. So did Aria, she just didn't know it yet. "Can we go home?"
"No, we can't."
After a moment of Aria groaning, she stretched out her arms towards him, making grabby hands. "Cuddles." It was more of a demand than a question. "Hurry up." Ezra rolled his eyes, setting down his phone to gently nudge her along the hospital bed, slipping in beside her. "Mm, cuddles."
Ella arrived before they knew it, storming into the room with a frustrated sigh.
"Trust them to put her on the top floor!" She muttered, almost to herself. Aria was fast sleep, with Ezra watching her intently. He placed a finger to his lips, signalling that she should stay quiet. "What happened?"
"She was crossing the road. Some car hit her and drove off." Ella scoffed, shaking her head in disgust.
"Assholes." Ezra was happy with how Ezra was towards him. She didn't hate him, so she would always make the effort to talk to him if he was around. "Has she been asleep long?"
"Ten minutes, not long. She's high on medication." For once, Ella laughed lightly, taking a seat beside the bed.
"Byron sends his best." Ezra didn't answer Ella, he only nodded once, pressing a kiss to Aria's hair. "He's sorry, you know."
"Aria's never going to forgive him."
"I know."
"Neither will I." Ezra added, glancing down at his girlfriend who slept peacefully. That's what drugs did to you. "He was out of order. She's scarred."
Ella sighed, shuffling uncomfortably in her chair.
"He didn't mean to push her."
Ezra's brows shot up then, and he glanced up at her with a shake of his head.
"What? No. Byron hit Aria."
Ella's eyes grew wide, her jaw dropping a fraction. That's no what Byron had said.
"Byron wouldn't do that."
"Well he did, trying to shoot /me./"
She sunk back into her seat, sighing as she shook her head furiously. She was going to kill Byron. "And then he turned up at my mothers, and started there too. You know, I knew he hated me. But he's killed his daughter inside."
Those words were enough to piss any mother off.
"You're good for my daughter, you know. She really does love you."
Ezra couldn't help but smile at her words, proud that he was the person to make Aria happy. "I love her too, I'd do anything for her."

Aria awoke to no one but her mother at her side, her brows furrowing in confusing.
Ezra wouldn't just leave her.
"Has Ezra gone to get some coffee?" Aria questioned sleepily, hugging his jacket close to her chest. It smelled just like him. He wouldn't of gone anywhere without it.
How was Ella supposed to tell her what had happened.
"Ezra's at the police station. He's been charged with the murder of Wesley. "
