Aria POV
"How much longer till we get there?" My 15 yo daughter, Stella Beatrice Montgomery ask me for the 3rd time now. We were on our way to go to Rosewood. After 14 years i finally stepped my foot again in this town.
"An hour" i reply and she just nodded back with her phone again.
"Why did he left us?" She asks suddenly breaking the silence.
"I've already told you." i simply reply about why her dad left her.
"Yes you did, you told me he just left you but why?" she asks curiously and i sigh remembering what happened
Flashback
I woke up early in the morning with the sound of my daughter crying. I look up next to me but there is no Ezra, i figured maybe he already went to nursery to calm her down but she just keep crying. I soothe her till she fall asleep again, i look around our apartment but Ezra is no where to be found. This is only 5 am where could he'd be gone? I went back to our room till something catch my attention, a note.
Dear Aria,
I'm sorry for leaving like this. I didn't meant any of this to happen. I thought i was ready but i wasn't. I'm sorry, i know i'm the worst boyfriend/ father ever i know that and i'm not denying it. I'm sorry but all of this was just overwhelmed. I know you're a strong woman, i know you can be the best mother for Stella. and you already are. I really am sorry.
I love you always, my b-26
- Ezra
My whole body tremble and my whole world just crushed. My boyfriend for four years just leave me alone with our daughter. I'm only 20 but already have to take care a child all alone, i wasn't sure if i can do it with Stella was just 5 month old. Poor my baby.
After that happened, i stayed in Rosewood till Stella 1 year old then we moved to New York not long after i graduate. Just the two of us. My parents and my friends knew what happened and they always supported me. I never heard Ezra ever since.
"Mom! Helloo? I'm asking" Stella snapped me out of my thoughts with her waving her hands in front of me
"Sorry, what are you asking again?"
"I ask you why exactly did he left?"i sigh and took a deep breathe before i explain to her
"Its true, he just left. He left when you were 5 months. I woke up in the morning and he was already gone. He left me a note. He basically said that the situation was overwhelming and he wasn't ready to be a dad like he thought he was" i finally explain to her the real reason why Ezra left us. When she was a little i told her that her daddy has to work faraway, the older she gets the more she understands but today she knows everything but not everything
"Oh.." she simply said looking down as i entered Rosewood
"Hey its okay. Don't be sad. You always have me remember?" i said trying to make her feel better
"I know mom. But one more question.. What is his name?" she said the question i used to avoid. And i still do. Because once i told her his name, she would go look for him by herself
"Save it for later" i reply and she let out a frustrated breathe as this is the million times she asks but i never answered it.
Stella POV
After god knows how long we finally made it to our new home in Rosewood. I've never been in Rosewood before so i hope it wouldn't be so bad. Mom decided to move here because she wants to feel closer to her family and her friends and i'm glad to because in that case, i can spend more time with my cousins.
One thing was bothering my mind lately, who is my dad?! I ask my mom million times but she never told me . I also ask my cousin Emma to ask her mom which is Aunty Hanna but she didn't tell us either. I guess i just have to figure it out by myself then.
