Chapter 4 (Truth bites me)
Everything was quite. Ezra has taken a night shift to keep watch in lair. CeCe was gone. Ezra could hear peaceful breathing of Aria. She has been crying whole day. He couldn't bring himself to look at her. He knee he was falling for her. But he was trying his best to stay unemotional about Aria. He had always thought about what will happen when she will know the truth about her and he will have to hurt her. It was a mistake to fall in love with her. He had tried to forget her. But no matter how much he tried he couldn't do that. Now his thoughts have come to reality. He has tied and hurt Aria, who was lying on bed behind him. He was a villian for her. He was tired of thinking. He wished that he could tell her everything. But that would make her hate him even more. Also, he would put her in grave danger. He couldn't do that. He loved this girl.
He was tired of looking at other girls chatting about Aria and A on computer. He listened for last time. Others had no clue. Spencer was pacing the room. Hannah was thinking something hard. Emily was crying silently. So, he got up and took steps towards Aria. She had not eaten or drunk anything since the last night.
"Aria, wake up", he whispered touching her soft chicks with tips of his finger.
She moved a little bit. He brought a glass of water and vegan take out and again sat near her. He couldn't let his voice betray him. He had to appear buisness like. Aria shouldn't mean anything to him. But, unfortunately that wasn't the case.
He took a deep breath and called out her name in the voice he had practiced for teaching job.
She opened her eyes slowly. She appeared confused.
"Ezra? What are yo..." She cut short her sentence as she realized. She closed her eyes and opened again in hopes that this nightmare would go away. But , she was still staring at unemotional face of Ezra.
"I am going to untie you now. Don't try to run or fight. It will be useless. You will go to bathroom and wash yourself. Then you will eat your meal. Then I am again going to bind you. Do you understand? "
He said in a stern voice, which made Aria cringe. He wanted to hug her and kiss her and never let her go. But, instead he repeated in his stern voice "Do you understand me, Aria?"
"Yes" Aria mouthed and burst into tears. She wanted to disappear. She refused to believe that this was true. Ezra was different now. Has she failed to recognize him? What about hundreds of moments she has shared with him. Were they all lies? She felt Ezra remove last piece of rope. She struggled to get up. She lost her balance , but he catched her. He showed no emotions, but somehow his touch told her - No. Those moments weren't lies. But, the push Ezra gave her to enter the bathroom made her rethink again about what exactly is the truth?
