the perfect mistake

Chapter 53: you'll be okay

ARIAS POV:
I was sitting on my bed. I realized how much has changed. but then again it hasn't. I began to pack up my hotel room. Ezra called. "Aria" I sighed in the phone. "hi." I whispered. then my phone hung up. it lost its connection. I just didn't bother to call back.

EZRAS POV:
she hung up and ended the call just like I knew she was going to do to our marriage. I sat on the bed. I left the radio on just to hear a voice other than mine. I can't bare to hear the cold truth running through my mind. everything I did wrong is haunting me. It won't let me be. laying her without her in starting to realize why she gave up on me. I'll never hold her again. it kills me to realize how much she tried to make everything work. all I did was put myself first. it's too late. she called back a few hours later. she said she wanted to see me. I said yeah that's fine. I figured I could go make this better. but maybe not. it's the kind of over when the sheets get colder at night. she doesn't need a shoulder to cry on anymore. I drove to her hotel full speed. I ran up the stairs I couldn't wait a second more on the elevator. I reached the door and froze up thinking about what I was going to say. I knocked on the door.

ARIAS POV:
there was a knock on the door. it was Ezra. my face lit up possibly like a Christmas tree. I felt it but I didn't show it. I let him in. he moved his hands through his hair pacing back and forth. I sat on the bed waiting for him to speak. finally I spoke up. "I'm sorry. but I guess things are falling in place."

EZRAS POV:
. "feels like they're falling apart." I interrupted. I just put a smile on my face to hide my broken heart. "I'll be alright and you'll be okay. you should go now. I'll mail the papers to your apartment." she said. I sighed and felt the test run down my face as I stared at her in shock. "Ezra do you want the divorce? I don't. but this is where you don't say what you want so bad to say because you know it's for the best. So here's your ring. Give the ring to someone you'll love for the rest of your life. someone who's worthy of your love." she said. "but Aria. I can't just not tell you I don't want the divorce. We can get through this I need you. the only person in ever going to love for the rest of my life is you. I really do need you." "I need you too." she said. "Ok look Aria we're going to fight. that's going to happen. you've never done this before have you?"  she shook her head no. "well here's how it goes. no matter if you yell. no matter if I yell I'm always going to show up. no you can expect I'm always going to show up." she smiled at me.

ARIAS POV:
"thank you for being my hero." I smiled "that's all I ever wanted to be." he said smiling down at me as he stood in front of me as I sat on the bed in a robe. he brushed my hair back. "I wasn't lying you know when I said you meant the world to me.. and to be even more honest a world without you is not one that I would want to live in." "Pretending not to love you was the hardest thing I've ever done." I said as he bent down to kiss me. I pulled him closer to me. I felt myself falling back slowly and I felt Ezra's body on top of mine as he un tied my rob still kissing me.
