" he needs to know "

Walking across the hallway , Aria didn't know where she belonged any more , she didn't know who she belonged anymore , she has reached to the breaking point , the only thing that was making her to breath in this cruel world was her only and only son , her little baby boy , she has missed him a lot , more than anyone could imagine , she cursed herself under her breath , she didn't want to be here , she didn't want to be away from her son , from her only family but she didn't have a choice , her mother was so insisting that she should graduate from university with a good degree so she could have a good life for herself and her son … but that was before , before she found her old lover , before she found her soul mate .

She seriously messed up everything with Ezra last night , she was too stubborn to find out why he had left that she hurt him more than she could fix it , but she wasn't going to give up , he deserved to know everything , he deserved to know about his son , he deserved to be a part of his life, watching him as he grows up , protecting him from danger . but Aria clearly knew that it is going to be a mess when he finds out because she knows him , he wasn't going to act cool about it , to act cool about the fact that she had hide their baby from him . she already made things worse between him , first he found out she slept with another guy and then she was so stupid to make him talk in front of the people , to disappoint him in front of everyone , but then the worse part … when he rejected her after she kissed him . Aria honestly didn't know why she did it , she just went for it .

The hallway was empty , no one was around , everyone was still processing the last night's storm which has continued until morning , Aria could hear the sound of rain drops , she slowly walked to her dorm room but she stopped .

She could hear a sound of a melody from the distance , it was so familiar to her , she took a step back and followed the sound , it was truly one of the most amazing and hearing melody that she has heard in her life , it was a sound of someone playing piano from the musical hall . she slowly approached the empty room as she gasped .

She didn't expect to see this , she was a little surprised to see Ezra was the one who was playing the piano , he was the one who was creating this amazing voice in the distance , she didn't want to interrupt him because she knew he would stop if he sees her , he didn't seem to notice that Aria was there and she was grateful for that . she kept her gap with him as she watched him smoothly , as he was dancing with his fingers on the keyboard , playing as he was pressing his fingers on the keyboard , a soft smile appeared on her lips as she was watching him , she pressed her head on the wall next to her as she enjoying the view , they were the only people there . she honestly didn't know how she felt about , she always thought she was done with him , that they will never go back together but now , she was having second thoughts , she could never understand why Ezra wrote that book but she knew perfectly that he regretted writing it , which was a good sign .

As Aria was observing him , he slowly winced his fingers back from the keyboard until he finally stopped . he let out a shaky breath as he was trying to relax himself , Aria couldn't understand why he was doing that . he seemed fine in flesh in front of him , what has changed ? . she watched her he placed one hand on his head as he ran the other one through the pocket of his pants , it was like he was looking from something .

Aria could tell he was nervous , maybe her being there wasn't going to help him but she couldn't stay away , she finally wanted him to feel her in the room as she finally spoke up .

" that was nice " Aria stated with a kind voice as Ezra suddenly pulled back his hand from the pocket , leaving the thing that he was holding in its place .he didn't dare to look at her , he didn't want to look at her because he knew he couldn't hide his feelings .

Aria slowly approached him as she sat next to him , she was glad that he didn't flinch back , she was looking at him as he kept staring at the keyboard.

" you never told me you play "

" you never told me you slept with someone else" he told her as he finally dared himself and looked up at her in the eyes sadly . it was too late for him to take back his words , he had no right to protest , they weren't together . he stared at her as she remained silent while she was staring back at him . she could see the hurt and sadness through his blue eyes , she wanted to kiss him , to make him forget about everything , to forget what they have been through but it wasn't the right time .

Unable to control herself she took a short look at his pink perfectly shaped lips but she looked back quickly , Ezra yet noticed her look on his lips but he didn't want to make her uncomfortable , so he cleared his throat as Aria looked on the keyboard .

" I … I learnt it when I … when I was in high school … I always play when I feel … numb … worthless-" Ezra said with a bitter laugh as she cut him off .

" you're not worthless " she stated seriously as he looked at her again , he didn't want to argue with her again .she could clearly see how fragile and broken he was , she may tried to ignore it but she couldn't hide it forever , he was hopeless like a failure , she needed to give him hope , a reason to leave , to feel special .

" look … I'm sorry for how I acted last night … I was too obsessed to know –"

"why I left ?" he cut her off with a sarcastic tone . he could see she broke with his words , he couldn't blame her , she deserved to know , but he knew exactly how she was going to react and he didn't want that , he didn't need her pity . but on the other hand he was tired of hurting her , he blurted out .

" I … there are two main reasons … that I left rosewood " he finally started as Aria looked at him as she listening carefully .

" first … after everything that happen in New York … um… Mona … " he stopped but she didn't give up .

" Mona what ?" she asked a bit angry

"she knew I was helping you … and she threat me to I have to leave the town and stop helping you guys … or else … " he took a deep breath as he continued while he was avoiding Aria's gaze on him .

" or … she would tell the police that you killed Shanna " he finished himself as he remained quiet as Aria was processing his words . she couldn't believe it , she would be lying if she says that she didn't expect this but she didn't know what to do . a single fresh tear fell from Aria's eyes as she wiped it immediately with the back of her hand . Ezra gave her the chance to understand things then he could continue .

" I … I couldn't let you go to prison … Aria " he said sadly as he looked at her , she was silently crying , he hated it , he hated that she was crying but on the other hand she knew that he cared about her .

Aria tried to wipe off the tears over and over until she finally gave up . after a few moments of silence she finally stopped and spoke .

" why didn't you tell me ?" she whispered as her voice was cracking , she was weak but she didn't care .

"you already know the answer …"

She remained quiet , she couldn't protest , that was from the past , there is no way that she could take back those days … that she can take back the days that she has spent without him ,she slowly wiped the tears again with the back of her hand as he remained quiet and once in a while he tapped to one of the pieces of the keyboard .

" what – what is the second reason … that you left ?" her voice was cracking as she tried to ask her question , she had to know the whole story before throwing a bomb shell in his life , she had to know , she just did .

Yet Ezra , who hated this question .. took a deep breath , he didn't want to answer it , he didn't want to tell her , he knew how broken she can be when she finds out , if her really and still cares about him . he let out of shaky sigh before preparing himself and try to find the proper words to tell her . this isn't going to be easy . he didn't want to look weak in front of him , like he was needed but deep down he knew that Aria it , she deserved to make her decision about him . he cleared his throat before blurting out .

" I have brain tumor " Suddenly Ezra blurted out which caused Aria to look at him immediately and suck in breath , she didn't expect this , she didn't know what to think , what to say . this wasn't happening , this couldn't be real , it just couldn't .

Aria's eyes were still locked in his as he gave him time to process his words , she didn't react anything , she just stared at him , wishing that it would be just some stupid joke but it wasn't . he was serious , more serious than she has ever seen him in her life . he never break the eye contact with her as she shook her head and ran a hand through her straight brown hair . she looked away from him for a second then she reconnected with her gaze with him again , but then he couldn't take it , he pulled back as he kept staring at the piano , he knew this wasn't enough , he started this … now he had to finish it.

Aria opened her mouth to talk several minutes later but she shot it again as soon as she saw Ezra speaking up .

" I … I found out when I took some test … for my health in New York after I got shot "

She felt sick , she was disgust from herself , all this time she was trying to push him to tell her but she didn't know how frustrating it could be for him to say it out loud . she felt guilty

It was still too much for her to handle , he had known since he got back from New York and didn't tell her ? she was furious about this but she knew she didn't have right to protest , she couldn't possibly blame him for not telling her , this wasn't something that you could just split in someone's face .

" wh-why didn't you tell me ? didn't I deserve to know this ?" Aria said with a harsh voice , but it didn't surprise Ezra , he knew her pretty well and he knew exactly how she was going to react .

" because I … I didn't want to – "

" you didn't want to upset me ! ? well guess what ? I feel miserable know , I hate myself right now … you may didn't upset me then … but you did now " she said loudly ,she knew this was his answer , and he knew it too. fragile he could tell she was , a single tear fell from her eyes as she wiped it away furiously , she didn't want to look weak in front of him .

" there was no point of telling you … you couldn't change the fact that I was –"

" it doesn't matter ! " she screamed from the top of her lungs as Ezra flinched . she was beyond angry but Ezra knew this was his own fault , he couldn't fight with her over this , he didn't have enough strength to .

" you're right " he just simply whispered . so quietly but he knew Aria heard him . by the time she was crying quietly , she still couldn't believe it , she just couldn't .

"this isn't about me being right or wrong … this is about you being so selfish that you hurt the people who care about you Ezra … you think you're doing the right thing but you have no idea how much damage you cause " she explained to him , she wasn't angry anymore , she was tired , tired of him repeating this habit over and over . the only thing that he could do was to nod , he didn't dare to look Aria in the eyes , he didn't dare to see her broken . he didn't want to . he knew what he did .

"how did this even happen to you ?"

" it's because it's sex-linked … my grandfather had it … now I have it … and if I ever have kids … there's chance that they have it too " kids , Adam

Now it made sense , Adam wasn't just sick without any reason , he was like Ezra , Aria couldn't think what their little son was going through .he was only one year old , he couldn't be sick but fortunately they found out pretty soon and now he is under treatment but was Ezra ? was he in a good condition or no ?

" but doctors can remove it right ? " she asked desperately more than ever .Ezra yet let out a bitter laugh before answering her .

" yeah yeah they can but … there's only forty percent chance that I stay stay alive during the surgery … it's a high risk , I can't take it… I've been under treatment for two years and … but it doesn't seem to work because I found out about it a little late … honestly I gave up … I don't care if I'm gonna die tomorrow or two years from now … because I don't have any motive to live for " he said sadly as Aria listened to every single word of his , she couldn't imagine how heartbroken he was at the moment , he was so desperate that any single thing could make him happy , he shouldn't feel this way , he had to fight for his life , for his family , for his son .

" what if I give you the motive ? " she told him as he looked up and faced her , he saw how desperate she was to bring him back , to fix things ,but he was beyond damaged . did she really want to be a guy who's sick?

He didn't know how to respond , the only he did was to stare at her and wait for her reaction , she slowly got up as she took Ezra's hand in hers and make him stand up and follow her .

They both walked out from the room and headed to Aria's dorm room in absolute silence , the only voice that they could hear was the sound of the rain drops hitting the ceiling and glasses . no words exchanged between them as they both walked down to the hall with their hands connecting with each other , none of them pulled back , they didn't want to , they wanted to keep bonding and be together but both of them were selfish enough to not confess this to each other .

As they got closer to her door , Aria stopped , is this really a good time to tell him ? he is so fragile and he may break down by the idea of her keeping their baby from him. Aria thought herself but she pushed them back as she tried to find her keys from her purse but something stopped her .

Ezra took her arm strongly in his hand as he spin her around and pinned her to the wall next to the door , they were inches away from each other , as they were locking their eyes with each other lustfully , eventually Ezra couldn't handle the temptation anymore as he crashed his lips to hers and kissed her hard and passionately . Aria yet who was waiting for this for a long time kissed him back eagerly as she wrapped her arms around his neck as Ezra hold the back of her thigh and pulled it up to his waist . she opened her mouth wider and gave him a full access as they tongues were thrusting with each other , they didn't want to stop , they couldn't . he wrapped his muscle arms around her waist as he closed the gap completely between them and pulled her closer , they both moaned loudly as their bodies pressed with each other . they could feel each other's heat as Ezra gave up on her mouth and trailed kisses down to her neck and collarbone , he sucked , bite and nibbled every inches of her skin as she was biting her lower lip , avoiding her moans and screams considering that they were in the hallway .

Aria yet was growing impatient and groaned loudly as she felt his erection , pressing to her hot and wet center , she grew bold as she slipped a hand between their bodies and wrapped her tiny hand around his huge erect member , she almost forgot how huge it was , how good it felt when he was inside him , Ezra moaned her name while he was panting as he felt her hand stroking him through his thick jeans . she almost managed to unbutton and unzip his pants as Ezra successfully unzipped her zip in her back as he touched her bare skin , he wanted her , she wanted him , there was no pointing of denying this and they were both agreed on this .

As Aria was slipping her hand inside his boxers Ezra stopped her and pulled back while they were both breathing heavily .a disappointed yet confused expression showed up in Aria's face as he held her wrists in his strong hands. If he didn't want this then why did he go for it in the first place ?

" not here " he whispered as he was catching his breath , Aria yet sighed in relief as she realized he was rejecting her . but he was right , they couldn't do it in the hallway . Aria zipped her black short dress as Ezra did the same thing with his pants , she took a short look at the dorm room Ezra followed her gaze and found out what she meant . he didn't have strength to talk , the only thing he did in her response was to nod as Aria smiled at him cheerfully and reached for her keys to open the door .

There was no returning back , they were going to do this , they were going to express their love for each other , to show each other how much they care , how much they missed each other , they didn't just want to hook up together , they wanted to make love , to make up this two years of being apart , this two years of being in pain .

Aria almost forgot what he wanted to tell him , he already got his motive, he got her , she was battling with herself to unlock the door as Ezra was standing behind him and placed kisses on the back of her neck as he was touching her bare skin with his hands . Aria lost herself as she let out a breathy moan and finally managed to open the door .

" surprise ! look who's here "she said cheerfully as she got up but then she stopped

All the sudden , the time stopped as she opened the door and faced the most unexpected thing in that moment , she froze , the world was spinning around her , her eyes widened as she saw them , they weren't suppose to be here , none of them .she didn't know what to do , she swallowed hard and took a deep breath a she saw Alison standing in front of her and Ezra as she was holding Adam in her arms .

Alison was also surprised and shocked , she didn't expect to see Ezra there , she didn't even know he was there but she knew that he didn't know about Adam . she froze as she was standing there speechless with Adam in her arms .

but Ezra wasn't surprised , he was confused and curious from the view , not because of Alison but because of the baby that she was holding , he didn't have any idea who this baby is , but he seemed so cute to him , with his hazel eyes and brown curly hair , he was so similar to Aria , it was like he was her other half but it wasn't possible , Aria lost the baby in the accident , she couldn't have lied about this , she wasn't that cruel but only if Ezra knew the truth …

they were all standing there quietly for a few seconds the only thing that they could her was Adam , making baby noises until someone finally broke the silence

"Aria … who is this baby ?"
