Ezria season 6b

chapter 2: five years forward

ARIAS POV:
I was on my way back to rosewood with Liam. I met him while I was in college and I guess we just fell in love. it was simple. he's an editorial asst. He's 24. I rented an apartment for us to stay in for awhile until we decide what we want to do. I was suppose to go to see the girls today at the brew at 1. I began to leave then I realized they should meet Liam. I made him come with me. I knew we were going to be meeting Hannas new fiancée and Ali's husband so might as well bring Liam. Being back in this small town reminds me of all the bad things that's ever happened to me. Liam knows about all the bad things that have happened in my life 5 years ago. but when I look back at it it was also some of the best years of life. I fell in love in this hopeless place. Ezra fitz. I get this tingling feeling when I say his name. haven't heard or seen him since the day we said our goodbye. Liam knows I fell in love here. just Liam knew I didn't like talking about it all that much. I told him about us. I was happy to tell him and open up about my first love. just I could never get Ezra's name out to the full extent. Ezra changed my life for the better. I can't thank him enough. if I saw him again I don't know what I would do. I've thought about it for years. his numbers changed, I tried calling him to see how Thailand was. I heard things from Emily. emily kept in contact with Nicole and told me about what they were doing. just I could never get around to just asking especially how Ezra was. has he moved on? I know he's back in rosewood by now or maybe he's moved. moved the hell out of rosewood. I found the book he gave me back in high school last night and I thought about how it said "for when you need to leave rosewood... Ezra." Liam asked about it. I just smiled and brushed it off. I hope he's doing well that's all that matters to me. Liam held my hand and moved it. "hey we're here. let's go." I was dozed off thinking about everything. we got out of the car and I looked around and took a deep breath and looked around me. then I had flashbacks once I took a glance at snookers down the street. I smiled. . I walked in the brew hand in hand with Liam and across the room there he was. Ezra fitz. the Ezra I always thought was the love of my life. the Ezra who changed my life. the Ezra I told Liam about. my first love... my first everything. he saw me. he froze up. I smiled. I gave a small wave I felt my heart start to beat faster and begin to race. I felt butterflies in my stomach. but I glanced next to me and realized Liam was there. He didn't notice. then I looked back at him as I saw a women sit down next to him and turn his face to kiss her. he pulled away and looked back over at me. I saw my chance to go say hello when she got up. as I walked over I realized I was still walking with Liam. Ezra stared at our hands together. "hi." I said. the biggest smile came across my face. "hi Aria, how have you been?" "great Ezra. how...how was thialand?" "great." he coughed and gave me a glance telling me to introduce Sam. "oh sorry. this is um uh.. Liam. My fiancée." he stood up and shook Liam's hand. "fiancée. ahh well nice to meet you Liam." "you too Ezra. Hey Aria I'm going to go grab us some coffees. I'll meet you over there. I'll let you two catch up." Liam gave me this awkward look and this little nod like he knew but he was okay with it. "yeah thanks babe." I said leaning in to kiss him. Ezra's girlfriend sat back next to him. "I should go... I'll um see you around." I said.
