Hi guys .
I just wanted to say thank you for your reviews , it meant the world to me and I honestly didn't think that I receive good reviews but you were all so nice and amazing about the story so I'm having a long plan for this story so it won't be over any time soon .
And here's chapter 3 as I promised and I warn you that it's one of the most important chapters.
Thanks again , enjoy
Chapter 3
- Aria TALK . said Ezra as aria quickly responded him.
- I WAS PREGNANT . aria shouted through her sobs .
Ezra's face fell from the ground , disbelief of what he just heard , this can't happen . was she serious ? and what the hell did hardy know ? there were million thoughts in his head right now .
His face had a sad and disbelief expression through it . he just stood there quiet , looking at Aria who was wiping her unstoppable tears with her hands but she kept failing as more tears came , eventually she gave up .
She could see how Ezra was at the moment … confused , surprised . the guilt in his face was showing up so easily .
As a couple seconds came and left Ezra suddenly opened her mouth to talk but he couldn't find the right words to say and shut his mouth again .
Aria on the other hand couldn't take it anymore and started walking fast to her car .
- Aria wait . Ezra said hurriedly .
Ezra quickly followed her and grabbed her arm tightly , unable to let her go as Aria turned around and looked at him with anger from her wet eyes .
- let go of my arm . aria said loudly but Ezra denied and only loosed her grip a little so that she won't hurt .
- you can't leave me on this … not after what you just said . Ezra said seriously as he raised his voice a little while Aria looked at him in disbelief and scoffed .
- yeah… you left me on my answers for 2 years … now it's my turn to leave you on your own . said Aria as she quickly get the chance and let go of his grip and started walking again as fast as she could considering the high heels that she was wearing .
She got into the car and started driving immediately just to be away from him and think about this last 15 minutes that she just spent fighting with the guy who actually didn't want her anymore ( or else that's what she thought ) not knowing the whole sides of the story.
Meanwhile Ezra just stood there in the parking lot , how the hell did this happened ? he wanted to follow her , find her and find out what happened while he was gone or that she was really pregnant ? of course she was , Aria wouldn't lie to him about something this big . he was a jerk , an asshole who abandoned the girl that he loved more than anything in the world with his own dead or alive child , he thought of himself .
As much as he wanted to go and follow her while her car was disappearing through the shadows , he stopped himself , Aria clearly wanted to be alone at the moment and didn't want to see anyone especially him .
He got into his car slowly and just sat there for a while , processing the whole thing .
Flashback
Rosewood , two years ago
- yeah , well right now we are the whole topic that the rosewood people are talking about . said Spencer as she closed her locker and turned around to face Hanna , Emily and Alison as they were standing in front her , avoiding all the looks and the whispers that they hear and see from the students and even teachers … teachers .
- still nothing ?. asked Emily from Hanna who shook his head and began to answer.
- I stopped by at her place to see her and well… she is still looking . said Hanna
- I don't understand … I mean why would he just leave without saying anything , without even saying goodbye while things were just getting better for him … I mean wasn't he the one who said he really does love Aria and do anything to protect her ?.said Spencer seriously .
- yeah and we all were starting to believe him – said Hanna as Emily cuts her off and interrupts her .
- we still do . said Emily firmly as the others looked at her confused and she began to response .
- don't you think it's a little suspicious ? … think about it … if he really wanted to leave then why did he came and found us in New York ?... or why would he offer Ali to help and win Aria back ?. said Emily as the other 3 girls carefully listened .
- so what are you implying ? . Hanna asked quietly .
- wait … you think that someone made him to leave ?. asked Spencer nervously as Emily nodded .
- sounds familiar ?. said Emily sarcastically as she turned her face and looked up to Alison who was lost in her thoughts .
- Ali ? … Ali ?. Emily called loudly trying to get her attention as reality hit her and she looked at her with a questioning look .
- what do you think ?. asked Emily
- I … umm… I think you're right … I mean is not the first time that A convinced someone to disappear and – said Alison as she cuts herself off as soon as she saw Aria walking towards them quickly .
They all turned around and noticed her , she was a mess . she looked weak , fragile . she was wearing the same clothes for days and she didn't wear any make up , just like a very simple girl but that was the problem . aria is not a simple girl .
- hey … what's up ?. asked Hanna as reached them . she looked terrified and scared .
- is everything okay ?. asked Emily worriedly as Aria nodded immediately and started talking .
- can I talk to you ?. asked Aria worriedly from Spencer as soon as she looked up at her .
- sure … what's wrong ?. asked Spencer as Aria quickly answered .
- I mean alone . said Aria as she made Spencer followed her to the bathroom .
At first she looked at each bathroom to make sure no one is there and listening to them .
- Aria you're starting to scared me … why are you acting like this ?. asked Spencer as she looked up at Aria and saw her eyes which were getting wet but she tried the tears from falling . she slowly began to open her purse as she did so .
Slowly , she took one step closer and showed Spencer what she was scared of .
Spencer was so shocked by the view that she was seeing . Aria gave her the test .
Aria's pregnancy test and the worse that the test was positive ! .
Spencer honestly didn't know what do say … she slowly took her gaze at Aria and faced her who was crying quietly . '' she can use a hug" Spencer thought as she approached her and held her friend tightly in her embrace and let her cry in her chest .
- what am I gonna do ?... he is not even here anymore . Aria kept saying this between her sobs as Spencer kept comforting her and telling her that it's gonna be fine and all of the girls will be there to help her .
- we're gonna find him … okay ? . said spencer as she was trying calm her down .
End of the flashback
Present day
- thanks . said Aria as she took the cup from Hanna and started drinking her coffee.
- have you heard from him ? since last night ?. asked Hanna quietly , afraid that Aria may get angry but Aria just kept staring in the window outside . she was wearing a black strapless top with a comfortable shorts .
She just sat there on the bed with the blanket around her .
- no… I wasn't ready to talk about it so I just left . said Aria coldly as she took a sip from her coffee .
- well are you now ?. asked Hanna as she stared at her friend who was staring her back but they both got distracted as they heard a knock on the door .
- I'll get it . said Hanna as she stood and walked towards the door .
She opened the door calmly but she suddenly jumped up when she saw Ezra in front of her .
She looked at her for a few seconds but Ezra broke the silence .
- is Aria here ?. asked Ezra desperately as he was waiting for Hanna to answer but she didn't know what to tell him .
- please Hanna … I really need to talk to him . said Ezra sadly as Hanna took a quick look at her friend then she turned around .
- I'm not sure it's a good – said hanna but Aria cuts her off and interrupted her with her voice .
- let him in . said Aria dryly as she wrapped herself tightly with the blanket while Ezra noticed her voice from the room .
Hanna opened the door wider to let him in as he took a few steps forward and looked at the room .
It was most certainly hanna and Aria's room . he thought as soon as he saw all the books and hanna's stuff around . he looked at Aria who was sitting on the bed with her back on him .
- I'll let you guys alone for a while … but please don't rip each other's head . Hanna commented as Aria and Ezra quietly chuckled at her words which might be true !.
Hanna got her purse and walked out of the room quickly as she closed the door behind her while Ezra dared himself to come closer to Aria .
He took the chair and set it in front of Aria's bed and sat on it to face her who was staring at the floor.
He needed to find the right words to talk but he didn't . all he kept thinking was that how coward was to leave just like that and left aria alone with all those troubles , with his baby !.
"is the baby even alive or she committed abortion ? " he thought . he wanted to ask her so badly to find out but he didn't dare himself to .
- I …I – Ezra began to talk but Aria cuts him off immediately and started talking herself .
- I found out 2 weeks later after you were gone . Aria began to explain and Ezra thought the best thing is that he let her tell him the whole story instead of asking himself . he thought it would be more comfortable for him and Aria . so he slowly nodded and waited desperately for her to continue .
- I … I didn't tell my parents … the only person who knew was Spencer … I didn't even tell the other girls . said Aria as she kept her eyes on the floor .
- and … ?. asked Ezra
- I … Spencer was looking for you but you seemed nowhere … and I didn't know what to do so … . Aria stopped , if she would have told him , he may start a fight .
- so what Aria … ?. asked Ezra softly and sadly at the same time and Aria took her gaze from the floor and faced him who was looking at her straight in the eyes .
- I found Hardy . Aria whispered with a fear as Ezra's face fell .
His best friend ! he knew about Aria and didn't tell him . he kept thinking for a few more seconds .
- if Hardy knew … then why didn't he tell me ?. asked Ezra as his voice was cracking , almost like he wanted to cry but he stopped himself .
- story is not over … Ezra . said Aria as she remembered everything in her mind .
Flashback
Rosewood , two years ago
- you're still there ?. asked Hardy on the phone from Aria who was on the other line .
- yeah …yeah … I'm here . said Aria as she wiped the tears away .
- please tell me you know where he is … . said Aria sadly on the phone as her voice was cracking and more tears came . there was a silence on the other line .
- oh my god … you don't know . said Aria loudly as she began to sob and Hardy tried to make her relax .
- hey…hey … I will find him … I will help you find him and tell him about this baby … he would so happy … I promise . said Hardy on the other line and made Aria laugh quietly through her sobs with the idea of Ezra being happy about the baby .
- I'll tell you what … why don't you come to me and then we will find him together?okay?. said Hardy as Aria went quiet .
- I can come there tomorrow . said Aria
- great … call me when you get here so I can get to you . said Hardy as they both made an arrangement and said their goodbyes as Spencer entered her room .
- so I got you your medicines … you need to stay strong . said spencer as she gave her the meds with a glass of water .
- I'm meeting Hardy tomorrow . said Aria as she got Spencer's attention .
- here ?. asked Spencer as she shook her head
- no …no … I'm going to him . said Aria as she drank the water .
- then I will come with you too . said Spencer as Aria slowly nodded .
- thanks Spence … you have no idea how much it means to me . said Aria as Spencer took her hand on hers and began to brush the back of it with her thumb while she smiled .
One day later
- okay … I'm gonna go get some food … you're okay by yourself ?. said Spencer as Aria nodded while she got out of the car . they were in the middle of the road , parking next to a chain restaurant .
Aria slowly put on her headphones while she was listening to the music . she was lost in her world . her eyes were shut but a few seconds later she opened them as she heard a car's sound which was getting louder and louder every second .
She slowly opened her eyes slowly and began to scream from the top of her lungs when she saw the car , driving to her straight and fast … but it was too late for Aria to save herself as the car hit her .
End of the flashback .
a fresh tear fell from Aria's eyes as she remembered everything and recreating them for Ezra who sat there shocked as he kept staring at her , who was staring him back .
he shook his head and wiped the tears from Aria's face and brushed his thumb through her cheek which seemed fine by her , she didn't pulled back or anything , she just kept looking at him and saw the tears that were coming down from his own eyes.
She slowly moved her hand on his that was resting on her side of the face.
She just cried , but not because of the accident or Ezra , because of how much lucky she was to survive .
The tears weren't the tears of sadness , they were tears of joy but she didn't want Ezra to know that , at least not yet
- I'm sorry . said Ezra slowly as Aria nodded him.
- if I wouldn't have known – said Ezra but she cuts her off and didn't let him to continue .
- but you didn't . said Aria coldly as she moved his hand from her face and took a few inches back .
- I think by now you did found out that you leaving was not for my own good at all. Said Aria to him seriously as he remained silence . he was ashamed of himself , the guilt that was building inside him was taking over his whole mind . he honestly didn't know what to say .
- this is all my fault . he kept mumbling and saying this as Aria tried to stop him .
- Ezra it wasn't your fault that some drunk jerk was driving to me . said Aria as he quickly responded .
- yeah but if it hadn't been because of me you wouldn't be there . said Ezra defensive
Aria stood up and walked towards him who was standing in front of him with his shaky hands .
- it was my decision to come and find you … I … I'm not saying that it's not your fault … it is …. But it's my fault too … . said Aria as she managed to make him calm.
She glanced over the clock and saw the time.
It was 11:00 am and it's Sunday .
"oh crap" she thought of herself . her mom may face time with her every second and he clearly shouldn't be there so she wouldn't have to explain to him that why does she face time with her mom ! not now at least .
- umm… you should probably go . said Aria nervously as she saw Ezra's look of confusion and surprise then she began to explain .
- it's not like I don't want you here … I do … but I gotta take care of something … like right now . Aria explained as Ezra nodded .
- okay . said Ezra as he walked towards the door while Aria turned her laptop on .
He quickly stopped in front of the door and turned around to see Aria .
- but I still have a lot a questions … and I think you do too … so I know this is a lot for me to ask right now but can we at least meet later? Or we – said Ezra as she quickly responded and didn't let him finish .
- okay . said Aria as she smiled at him warmly , letting him know that he wants too.
So he started to write in the small piece of the paper and handed it to Aria .
- here's my number … call me whenever you can . he said as Aria nodded .
He left the room . oh Just in time .
She set the laptop on the bed and try to contact her mother .
- hey sweetie … I was just about to call you . said Ella through Aria's laptop s she saw her mom in it .
- wow you got a hair cut . said Aria surprisingly as she noticed her mom's hair .
- yeah I needed a change . said Ella
- you look beautiful . said Aria as she smiled at her mom who smiled her back .
- So … umm … where's he ?. asked Aria willingly from her mom who chuckled as she saw how willing her daughter was .
- he's right here … come here sweetheart . said Ella with a smile on her face as she hugged him and brought him in front of the camera and made him face Aria while a tear fell from Aria's eyes as soon as she saw him .
- say hello baby boy . said Ella
- Hi honey … . said Aria as she paused for a moment and take a good look at him .
- Mommy misses you . said Aria quietly as she wiped her tears .
Her son was facing her through her laptop . her OWN son . her and EZRA'S son.
End of chapter 3
BAM . that is a bomb shell . I know you all are probably processing the last part of the chapter and some of you are probably confused so I'm giving you a little explain .
Aria and the baby BOTH survived from the accident and she kept the baby . but she didn't tell Ezra , and practically she didn't tell him that the baby is alive either . so Ezra thinks that she lost the baby in the accident . and Aria wants him to think that ( at least for now ) .
Again thank you all for your amazing reviews . I honestly didn't expect to receive this much for 1 chapter since this is my first official story … so keep reviewing and I have some plans for the next chapter .
p.s. baby is with Ella right now , not with Aria in New York .
keep reviewing and I will update as soon as I get more or less 10 reviews . love you all and thanks for the support .
