ONE WEEK BEFORE SENIOR YEAR:
My parents have been prepping me so much for UPENN. Ever since I told them I want to be a lawyer they've put me in all these programs and though I love the support its getting to be a little too much for me. I barely see Toby. I don't even really want to go to UPENN I just want to make them proud. I actually I want to go to California for college.
Melissa, Jason, and Malia are in the middle of moving now so right now they're emptying the barn and I'm trying to leave the house to hang out with my friends but I keep on getting held up.
"Auntie Spencer" Malia said as she walked over to me in the backyard. She's two and a half now.
"Yes sweetie" I said as I crouched to her level
"Will you come see me when we move away?" she asked
"Of course I will" I said
"Auntie Ali and Auntie Hanna too?" she asked
"Yes we'll all come see you. Come on lets go see Mommy" I said as I picked her up
"Melissa I have to go are you guys okay?" I asked as I walked over to my sister as she tapped up boxes with Jason
"Yeah we're fine. Make sure you dodge Mom and Dad they want to talk to you more about your programs. You deserve a break" Melissa said as she took Malia
"I know. You do think they'll be mad?" I asked
"Spence you're fine go have fun" Melissa said
I drove my Volvo to the lake where Hanna, Caleb, Alison, Emily, and Toby are. I saw Hanna sigh in relief as I got out my car.
"Spence if you didn't come I would've went to your house and dragged you here! Where's your bathing suit?" she asked
"In my bag. Where's Aria?" I asked as I walked over to Toby's beach chair and sat with him before giving him a kiss
"I think she's on her way over she's waiting for her dad to take Mike to practice" Hanna said
"Spence I need to come over to your place soon. I promised Jason I'd help them move" Alison said as she pulled Emily closer to her on the beach chair their sharing
"Are you sad Melissa's moving?" Emily asked me
"Kind of because we've gotten closer but I'm happy for them" I said as I took Toby's hand
"How did your parents feel about you leaving?" Toby asked
"I left before they got home. I glad they've been really pushy lately" I said "School hasn't even started yet and they have all these college visits planned. Oh during winter break do you all want to come to California? I'm looking at Stanford and UCLA" I said
"Spence its about time we take you on a trip you're always taking us somewhere I'm starting to feel bad" Hanna said
"Hey when you got it you got it right?" Caleb asked
"Right" I said
"Oh there's Aria" I said as I watched her car pull up at the lake
We've barely heard from Aria this summer. Ezra got a job at Hollis and because he wouldn't be Aria's teacher anymore he told Aria's parents the best way he could. Aria's parents are still in the mad stage so Aria has been working with kids at an art camp all summer and now that she's finished she's always at home.
"Hey guys" Aria said as she walked over to us
"Toby come and start up the grill with me" Caleb said as he got up after kissing Hanna
"I'll be right back" Toby said before kissing me
"How have you been?" Emily asked
"Good I guess. My parents are more mad at me than they are at Ezra"
"Are you and Ezra okay?" Ali asked
Aria sat down next to me and put her head in her hands. She's crying. I wrapped my arms around her. "Oh Aria what happened?" I asked
"I-I don't know he doesn't want to see me anymore! He thinks its best if we stop seeing each other! I think its just whatever my Dad said to him" she sniffed
"You guys love each other. You need to tell him you're not giving up" Hanna said
"He won't talk to me" Aria said as she wiped her eyes
"Then wait as his apartment or something" Emily said "If he won't talk then you should"
"I think I'll try that" Aria said
Aria's POV:
My parents are now divorced so my mother doesn't live with us anymore but since the whole Ezra thing she's been home to watch me.
"Aria where have you been? You know you aren't allowed to leave the house" Mom said
"Mom just because you stopped me from seeing Ezra doesn't mean you can stop me from seeing my best friends" I said "I haven't seen them in awhile"
"And you were lying to us for awhile" Dad said
"You can't just lock me up like Cinderella! You guys ruined my summer" I said
"Just like you ruined our trust in you" Mom said
I huffed and ran up to my room before dialing Ezra's number on my phone. He didn't answer but I left a message
"Ezra I want you to meet me tomorrow night at eight by the Brew. If you show up you don't want this to end if you don't I'll leave you alone" I said
Emily's POV:
My dad has been deployed for awhile and my Mom is leaving soon to visit him because he's coming to Texas. I can't come because of school. I'm still trying to convince her to let me stay at Alison and Hanna's.
"So what has your Mom been saying?" Alison asked as she did my toenails at her bed
"It sounds like she's going to ask Spencer's mom if I can stay with them. Which would be great because you're right next door"
"Yeah that's great. You'll probably be able to study over there better" Ali said with a smirk before she blew on my toenails
Alison crawled on the bed and straddled my waist "Have you talked to your Dad?" she asked before kissing my neck
"Why do I feel like you don't really care about my answer?" I asked
"I do I just missed you. When my mom took my phone away I was crushed. I knew with your mom always out the house you were lonely"
"Actually, Maya is back and she came to visit me" I said
Alison stopped the kisses and leaned back. "Why didn't you tell me? Was she hitting on you? I know she's lesbian too"
"No" I said "She just brought me food"
"I don't want you guys to be friends" Ali said as she got off me
"We've been friends since we were little Ali there's nothing going on between us" I said trying to think of a way to distract her "I love you not her"
Ali smiled "So you'll tell me next time she comes over?"
I scooted closer to her "If that makes you happy then of course" I leaned in to kiss her and wrapped my arms around her waist
Yes I know to distract Ali
Hanna's POV:
Caleb and I are going back to school shopping together. We're at Staples getting a few things.
"I'm so glad this is the last time I'll be doing this" I said as I put a few notebooks in my cart
"You know you'll need these things for college right?" Caleb asked
"But it'll be different" I said "I can't wait for college, if I even get in"
"Come on you'll get in somewhere" Caleb said he wrapped his arms around me "You're going to be a great fashion designer or maybe even a model"
"Probably a clerk a H&M" I said
"Oh come on you're so much better than that and you know it. Has Alison been saying something to you?"
"No we barely talk every chance she gets she's with Em"
"Well I wish you knew you were worth so much more" he said "I love you"
"I love you too" I said before kissing him
Spencer's POV:
Toby and I are in my bedroom fixing up Toby's resume for a construction job he's applying for. We just got back from a run.
"How long would you be doing this anyway?" I asked
"Every other day after school for four hours" Toby said
"I'd miss you" I said
"Well its not definite-"
"Oh hey Spence I didn't know you two were back. What did you guys do?" Mom asked as she came in
"We went on a run" I said "I'm helping Toby with his resume"
"That's nice what're you applying to Toby?" she asked
I rolled my eyes as she continued to ask Toby questions. She and Dad have been doing that a lot lately and its really getting on my nerves.
"Hey Mom I think I hear Dad downstairs" I said
"Call me if you need anything" Mom said before leaving
I got up and closed the door "I'm sorry about her I know they've been annoying we should've went to your place" I said as I got back on the bed
"Its nice that they care about your future so much" Toby said
"Its annoying" I said "Sometimes I want to be a little independent"
"Then tell them that or we won't be able to do this" he said as he laid me down and brought his lips to mine. I leaned into the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck
"Spence just wanted to remind you that-oh my gosh!"
"Dad!" I screamed as I pushed Toby away
Aria's POV:
THE NEXT NIGHT:
Its raining really hard as I drive downtown near the bus stop to meet Ezra. No one's there but its five minutes till eight. I nearly cried when I saw him walk towards the bus stop. He came.
"Ezra!" I called as I got out the car
"Aria?" he said "Aria listen I came here to tell you in person that I want you to be a teenager. I don't want to ruin your life"
"Ezra you made my life better. You can't sit here and tell me you can throw away everything we've been through together"
"I can if it means you'll have a better life" he said
"I don't want a better life I want you!" I cried "I love you! Do you hear me I said I love-"
He cut me off with a kiss and cupped my face in his hands.
He loves me.
I knew we weren't over.
