Chapter 50:

Spencer's POV:

Today I'm with Aria at the recording studio. She was singing a few songs and people over heard. She's recording her first album!

Spencer: You ready?

The music starts and aria has a voice of an angel. It's now the chorus of the amazing song 'Stitches by Shawn Mendes.

Aria: You watch me bleed until I can't breathe. Shaking. Falling onto my knees. And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing Stitches. Tripping over myself. Aching. Begging you to come help. And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing Stitches.

She finishes the song and the guy in the booth with us saves the song onto a file.

Carl: So remember, you've got work tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

Aria: Ok. Thanks for helping out Carl. It really means a lot.

Carl: Any time sugar.

Aria: Carl.

Carl: I'm only joking. See ya later.

We leave the studio and are now standing on the street.

Spencer: Is it me or was Carl flirting with you?

Aria: He does it all the time.

Spencer: Does Ezra know? Do you have feelings for him?

Aria: What? No, I don't have feeling for him and no Ezra doesn't know.

Ezra: Know what?

Aria spins round to face her husband who has Maddie in his arms and his two other children walking beside him.

Aria: Nothing.

Ezra: Don't lie to me.

Aria: It's just Carl. He pretends to flirt with me and calls me sugar. It's nothing. I promise.

Toby's POV:

I'm sitting at home, playing GTA V on my PS4.

Spencer: Toby, I'm home.

Toby: Hey, where you been?

Spencer: I told you, I was at the recording studio with Aria.

Toby: What, and that took 4 hours?

Spencer: Are you trying to make an assumption.

Toby: No, no, no. It's just I didn't realise recording one song took 4 hours.

Spencer: Actually, she recorded a couple of songs. She did hello by Adele, Stitches by Shawn Mendes and Fight Song by Rachel Platten.

Toby: Ok.

Spencer: Hey, turn that off. I don't want the kids seeing that.

Isabella: What's that you're paying daddy?

Spencer: See what I mean?

Mason: Ooh, nice car.

Toby: That's my boy.

Spencer: No. You two, go upstairs and play.

Mason: But mom.

Spencer: No buts. Do as you're told.

Isabella: Come on Mason.

The kids go upstairs and play. Spencer sits with me, I turn the game off and the twins sit between us.

Toby: How have two of my four angles been?

Lily: Da da.

Toby: I love you.

Spencer's POV:

I'm in bed, not able to get to sleep. It's 3:00 am and I feel as if someone is holding a pillow over my face. I gasp for air. I manage to slap Toby until he wake up. He helps me but it doesn't work.

Toby: What's wrong?

Spencer: Can't…breath.

Toby: In and out. In and out.

I finally start breathing fine again. Then I start crying into Toby's chest.

Toby: Hey, what's wrong?

Spencer: I don't know. I couldn't sleep and then I felt like someone was holding a pillow over my face.

Toby: It's ok.

I finally fall asleep, in the safe arms of my husband. I wake up at around 8:30. I head über to Hanna's where we talk to a woman who is helping design some new wedding dresses for us to sell in our store.

Hanna: So what kind of material were you thinking for sketch 4?

Woman: Maybe silk or satin

Hanna: Good choice. If you choose silk, I think a good colour choice would be Ivory.

Woman: Aah, yes.

The woman days in her Spanish accent.

Woman: I must go. Husband and children waiting for me at airport.

Hanna: Wait, your leaving the country?

Woman: Ah yes. We be back in 2 months.

Spencer: Ok. Would you mind emailing us?

Woman: I uh see what I can do. How you say, no wifi at house.

Spencer: Ok. Well just try and stay in contact with us.

The woman leaves and me and Hanna just laugh.

Toby's POV:

I'm on a shift in town, when I get a call at the mall. I arrive on the third floor and find two males fighting.

Toby: Hey you need to calm down. Jason?

Jason: This son of a bitch was slagging Mona off.

Toby: Who?

Mike: Me.

Toby: Mike?

Mike: I know she was my ex girlfriend, but she was a bitch, made me lie for her. Did she do that to you.

Jason: No. She's dead and you're still slagging her off. You're a bastard, you know that. And no one likes you.

Mike goes for Jason, but I get in the way. Luckily I duck and so does Jason. I arrest them both as it gets too out of hand. When we are at the station, I call Ella and Aria.

Ella: Mike Montgomery!

Mike: Mom, Im sorry.

Aria: What's going on?

Jason: We were fighting in the mall.

Aria: Seriously Mike? Your not in high school anymore.

Mike: Is that even the point?

Ella: Of course it's the point. What are the charges Officer Cavanaugh?

Toby: Well, we don't have enough to charge them so they're free to go.

Ella: Wait till you tell your father about this.

Mike: Mom, I'm not 15.

Ella: I don't care. Is Ezra picking you up Aria?

Mike: Oh yeah cause that'll be fun. My brother in law picking up his ex student, who he married over 8 years ago and had three children with.

Spencer's POV:

Spencer: Hey what's wrong?

Aria: I can't get hold of Ezra. Can you come and get me?

Spencer: Yeah. I'm with Hanna. Where are you?

Aria: I'm at the police station.

Hanna: Aria Fitz! You better not have got yourself arrested.

Aria: No, I haven't. I was here with my mom and then Mike started saying how it will be fun how my ex English teacher will come and pick me up who I married and had three children with. I don't know what's wrong with him lately.

Spencer: Don't worry. We're on our way.

Me and Hanna drive to the station, where we find Aria in tears, standing outside. We get out the car and hug her tightly. Then Ezra arrives.

Ezra: What's happened?

Aria: Ezra.

Aria falls into Ezra's arms.

Ezra: What's wrong?

Aria: It's Mike. My mum asked if you were picking me up from here and then he started saying that it'll be fun for his brother in law for him to come, who I married and was my ex English teacher and I had three kids with him.

Ezra: Where is he?

Aria: No Ezra. Please. There's been enough drama today.

Ezra: Im taking you home.

Ezra and Aria leave and then me and Hanna go back to my house. Later that night, Emily, Allison, Hanna, Caleb, Aria and Ezra all come round with and we have a huge family night.

Emily: Everyone, is just like to say how lucky I am to have amazing friends. And such a forgiving wife. Since I lost the baby, we have worked things out and decided to adopt another child.

Allison: He's gonna be a baby. And we get to name him. We are gonna call him Shae.
