the perfect mistake

chapter 15: lucky

EZRAS POV:
I felt this urge to go back downstairs and just wrap her in my arms. once I got upstairs I still had the necklace in my hand when Jackie saw me it was dangling and she thought it was for her and took it from me and out it on right away. "It's beautiful. Thank you ezra." "Wait wait Jackie." I tried stopping her before she went and showed everyone. I saw Aria get off the Elevator and went towards the bar and then bumped into Jackie and saw the necklace. "That's a beautiful necklace. I bet whoever got you that must really love you." she looked at me as her eyes filled with tears. she walked towards me. "The only person who threw anyone's heart away was you Ezra. Thank you for making me realize my choice of Andrew was right." I saw her go and find him and hugged him tighter than ever and started to have an open makeout session in front of everyone. she pulled him into the elevator with her and he pushed her against the wall kissing her neck as she looked at me and smiled as she pressed the down button. But when I saw Caleb look at me all I did was smile.

CALEBS POV:
I grabbed Toby as I saw Ezra see what Aria did then when he noticed me he was smiling. "Toby he just smiled as he saw her kiss someone else. for the first time I've seen him smile in a month." "maybe he stopped loving her today. Caleb we should just leave it alone. he's happy now. he has a new women and I couldn't be more happy for him." "Yeah you're right." I couldn't believe he got over Aria because I never imagined I'd see the day. I saw Jackie standing alone I went to go say hello. I saw a beautiful necklace dangling from her neck. "you must be ezras friend Jackie?" "Yes I'm sorry I don't think we've ever met." "Oh sorry I am Caleb. Hanna's boyfriend. can I just say I haven't seen Ezra this happy in a while. are you guys dating now?" "well thank you and I'm not sure. Just he's changing into a better man. Like I want to be with him. But I feel he's still hung up over his ex. I'm not sure. I'm insecure. I just want somebody that's crazy about me. I'm tired of being the crazy one. You know? me and Ezra have something special. I know deep in my heart when we saw each other again it was fate. I know we will rekindle that love we once shared." "that's a beautiful necklace you have on where'd you get it?" She smiled and glanced at Ezra. "Ezra." "Wow I think he must really like you. He never got his ex anything that beautiful." she blushed "well I really must be going nice meeting you." "You too... Uh Caleb." I walked away and bumped into Ezra. "Jackie is really nice. you should really take her home tonight." I winked and walked away.

EZRAS POV:
"Caleb wait meet me downstairs in about 10 minutes please."

EZRAS POV:
"Ezra what did you need? Look me and Caleb talked and both agreed we think you've moved on. Is that true?" Caleb said "Look Caleb. Jackie is just a friend." "Oh yeah then why'd you buy her that expensive necklace?" "I didn't it was for Aria." "Then why does Jackie have it." "I gave it to Aria. Then she got mad and gave it back and walked away and took Andrew in the elevator and left purposefully." "You need to tell Aria." "No. because maybe I can learn to love her again. I need to realize I can't have Aria." "You still love her don't you?" "I went half crazy. there's just nothing left to say or break. I just don't understand why I think love can fix me when it the end it just leaves me more broken than before. the reason I was shot was to save the ring as you know.why should I hurt a girl who never hurt me by telling her I still love her? It's just all so strange how in one night your whole life can change. But Caleb time for love came and gone." I look and see Andrew walk in alone. Caleb asked "where's Aria?" "oh she headed home alone. She said she wasn't feeling well and wanted me to stay and entertain for the rest of the night." he got on the elevator and went up. "Ezra you need to go talk to her. She's not sick. She's not over you. Go see her now." He demanded I nodded and asked him to keep Jackie occupied until I come back. He agreed as I went out caught a taxi and drove to arias. I got to arias. I looked through the window and saw Aria laying on her couch. I rang the doorbell for no one to answer. She wouldn't get up. She never locked the door I just walked in. "Aria... I need to talk to you." "Ezra..?" She said as she rolled over wiping her tears away from her bloodshot eyes. "What... What are you doing here?" she asked "I had to see you." she smiled softly and looked out the window. "Is Jackie waiting for you? just make it quick. You don't need to leave her waiting." she said as she walked towards her room upstairs. I followed her and shut the door behind me. "Aria. Please listen. when I told you about the ring. you didn't say anything." "I know I didn't it's because if I would've lost you it would have been my fault." "How? Because you fell in love with me." "why'd you almost jump that bridge and go to that rooftop Aria?!" "Because because I I.... I don't know "Is there a chance you still love me?" "Ezra please don't." she said "why'd you leave the party tonight? I know you weren't sick." "Jackies waiting Ezra. you should go. After all that's why you left town to fall in love again." "God damnit Aria. Jackie is a friend. There wasn't one second when I was gone that I wasn't thinking about you." she stood there shocked. I lowered my voice "now Aria why'd you leave the party?" "I'm sick." "No you're not." "Yes I am." "Aria quit lying!" "Ezra I'm not lying. I'm sick because I'm pregnant." I froze up. My eyes teared up. "You're your your pregnant with his baby?" "I wasn't sure at first if it was his or yours." "Aria you said you'd love me forever." "I know Ezra I'm sorry. But that was when you were mine and when we were in love. Do you remember?" she screamed as she cried. "tell me you still love me!!" "I can't!!" "why not Aria!?" "Because it's not true. And I suppose the reason I don't love you is because you left. In fact I hate you. I hate you because when someone you love leaves you have to hate them to be over them. Because if they don't want you anymore and you still love them how do you survive? If you leave someone at least tell them why. Because I don't know what hurt the most while you were gone. Because what's more painful than being abandoned. oh wait knowing you're not worth an explanation. Ezra, here's my explanation for all of this. I just need you to be my friend." "Aria I can't be your friend anymore." "Then You should see yourself out." "I know the way." I said. I walked outside got in my taxi and went back to the party. I got on the elevator and as I got off I ran into Andrew. "Ezra hey have you talked to Aria?" "No I haven't but you should get home to her. It's been too long and she'll get scared and worried. She'll always wait for you Andrew. Her heart is strong and can hide things forever. she's strong enough if only she could see. she loves you. She really does." he smiled and patted me on the back. It hurt to say it but I went and found Caleb talking to Jackie. I grabbed jackies hand and left.
