Torn
Ezra's POV
Finally the hiding and worrying was over. I couldn't help but think how lucky I am. I never thought Aria will understand my problem as she is very stubborn. But for my surprise she did understand. I was overwhelmed with joy. She must really love me. Aria means the world to me. I would never do anything to hurt her intentionally. In this thought, I entered the room. CeCe was as usual glued to the laptop. Aria was tied again on bed, but she was looking at me with tiny smile. I couldn't help but smile back. I really hope CeCe has not noticed our exchange.
Surprisingly CeCe was cool towards Aria and wasn't persuading me to kill her. That was a positive sign. I waited for CeCe to leave. Until then I kept close eye on girls. School had tired me out. Finally, CeCe left throwing me her smug look. I looked at Aria. But she seemed not to notice me. I could tell from her eyes that she was thinking something deeply. I even had idea of what she was thinking. She and Alison thought I was sleeping when Alison offered her to get out of this. But, I was pretending to be asleep listening all the exchange between Aria and Alison. I don't know what Aria must be thinking to do, but my heart tells me that she will not betray me. I knew she cannot hurt me. She has to choose me above Alison. I knew this wasn't going to be easy for her. I decided to break her chain of thoughts. More she thinks, more puzzled she will be.
I went closer to her and lightly pressed my lips against her. She looked at me and smiled. I untied her and pulled her in my arms. She was looking at me as though she wanted to ask me something. I sighed and said "shoot. I know something is bothering you. "
She looked around and whispered in almost inaudible voice" how much do you trust CeCe?"
I was caught off guard. I was expecting something about last night or Alison or even our relationship , but this wasn't what I expected.
"Why would you ask that Ar?" I automatically lowered my voice. Even though I didn't know why I lowered it.
"Just answer my question. How much do you trust her?"
"Um, I don't trust her at all. You can't trust A even though you're A, right? " As soon as I said that, I regretted it. Her face turned pale and her eyes appearing distant.
"No- No! you can trust me. I love you Aria, I do. I trust you too. You're the only person I trust now. " I tried to sound as sincere as I could.
Painful expression crossed her face. I knew she was thinking about her talk with Alison yesterday. I was prepared to defend myself, but I wanted to know what Aria chooses. I have not done even one percent of bad things as much as CeCe or Alison did. I have told her that. But I wanted to know how much she trust me.
"Ezra, I trust you 100%. Never ever doubt that. Never."
This made me smile and I leaned forward to kiss her. She returned my kiss with some hesitation. I tried to ignore that as her hazel eyes were looking directly in my eyes. She came close to me and pressed her lips around the corner my lips. She traced them to my ears and whispered - " Do not trust CeCe. She is working with Alison."
I was too shocked by what she just did. She again started to kiss me like she had said nothing.
Then I realized what that means - A was under surveillance too. CeCe was spying on me and so was Alison. I joined everything I knew and sudden realization stuck me. I probably knew who A was...
I didn't know what to believe any more. I looked at Aria and started to complete the unfinished business by pushing her down on the bed.
I wanted to forget everything and indulge in my only reality - Aria
Thank you so much for your reviews! It really made me smile today :) I needed it so much! sadly I have landed myself in hospital yesterday..
and I know how everyone's hoping Ezra will not be A. I think that too. May be he was forced to do something for saving Aria. I mean Broad shorts at Cape May (which everyone now think is A and consequently Ezra) tried to kill Alison because she was pregnant, but we know that Ezra didn't freak out when Maggie was pregnant and neither did he tried to kill her (as far as we know). A knows everything right? Ezra doesn't know much. I think he is just a part of A team. omg, I just love him so much. My another theory is that he is trying to find Alison because A made a deal with him that if Ezra finds out Ali, A will Aria alone. You know he said 'There isn't anything I will not do for you'
Ezrianporvida- Thank you x
