Lost & Found-Ezria

Chapter 11+320 reads?!

{Hi everyone! Before we jump right into the chapter, I just wanted to say thank you so much for getting me to 320 reads. it was only four days ago that i was overjoyed with two hundred, and now i'm at 320 and am so so so happy. im not going to ramble though, because I know everyone just wants to read the chapter. so without further ado, the chapter you've all been waiting for- the reunion!}

I paced nervously around The Brew, desperate for all 5 people to show up. No one had even responded, so I could just be wasting my time. But i needed to make things right, and I needed Ezra.

As I was just about to pick up my stuff to leave, four familiar faces walked through the door.

"Aria! We're so glad you came back! We're so sorry, really we are-"a happy Emily started before I cut her off.

"No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you away. And you were right about Wes, my mom told me everything about Ezra. So Wes and I are over now, and I really would like to get to know Ezra again." I said, waiting patiently for a response.

"We're really glad you've finally realized this, Aria, but you're... you're too late." Spencer says, a tone of worry in her voice. It was then that I realized Ezra's absence, and I feared the worse.

Seeing the panicked look on my face, Spencer immediately spoke up again.

"He's not dead, Aria! Relax... He just, well..." she says, slightly more cheerful.

"Spit it out, Spence!" I say, desperate to know what was happening.

A frustrated Hanna sighed and poke up for her.

"He doesn't want to see you, Aria." she said, her face showing that she was unsure of what my reaction would be.

I was confused and overwhelmed, and I had no idea how I was even supposed to go through with this.

"W-what do you mean?" I ask quietly, completely shocked.

"You kicked him out of your life, Aria, he decided that he needed to move on." Emily said sincerely, reaching out to grab my hand.

"Give me his address." I said, not thinking straight, impusiveness rushing through my veins.

"Aria, this isn't a good idea..." Emily continued, a worried look on her face.

"Are you kidding? This is an amazing idea! She wants something and she's doing what she needs to get it. Go Aria!" a proudly excited Hanna cheered.

I smiled as Emily and Spencer still had unsure looks on their faces.

"Come on Spencer, pleaseeeee." Hanna and I begged simultaneously.

"Okay, Okay, fine. But I just don't want you getting hurt again!" she said, searching through her purse to grab her phone.

"Maybe we should drive her..." Emily stated, worry still prominent in her voice.

"Okay, we can do that. But she needs to do this on our own. Plus, if Ezra finds out we started this..." she laughed awkwardly.

We all picked up our stuff and got into Spencer's car. We began to drive down the streets of Rosewood, childhood memories flooding back.

I smiled as the familiar streets seemed so welcoming, and the car stopped in front of an unknown building.

"This is it. Apartment 3B. You got this, Aria." a confident Spencer said.

I nodded and began to exit the car, my hands shaking with nerves. I walked up to the steps and stood in front of the buzzer, still unsure how I was going to go about with this.

As I stood patiently in front of the door, my thoughts buzzing with ideas, a sudden memory came rushing back.

A petite brunette stood i front of this very door, patiently pushing a buzzer multiple times. She then pulled out a cellphone, dialed, and put it to her ear. She turned slightly to the side, revealing that it was myself in the memory. A black limo pulled up to the complex, and a familiar face was revealed behind the window.

Ezra spoke smoothly, telling me how good I looked, and how excited he was for the date.

I smiled, the mere thought of Ezra brightening my face. I was about to buzz each apartment when someone opened the door. They walked out without looking at me, just holding the door slightly open for me as I swiftly walked in.

I made my way to apartment 3B, and took a sharp breath before I knocked on the door.

EZRA'S POV

I made my way from the couch to the kitchen, and started preparing some coffee. I sighed as I looked back at my desk, the pile s of term papers that I had to great taller than I was.

I was back at work full time now, and I was slightly happier. I had gotten a call from Spencer earlier today telling me that Aria was here and wanted to meet, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I knew that she seemed happy with Wes and I didn't want to ruin that. Wes' threat was also still on the table, so I somehow managed to convince the girls that I was seeing someone else. I didn't know why Aria even wanted to see me, she had made it perfectly clear that she doesn't want anything to dith me or even Rosewood, but I guess she had a change of heart.

I sighed again, trying to push Aria out of my thoughts. I sat down at my desk and began correcting, when there was a knock n the door.

I slowly got up and opened it, and the person who stood before me completely shocked me.

"A-Aria..." i managed to stutter out, still completely shocked. Her face was puffy and red, like she had been crying, and her eyes were filled with sadness and worry.

"I'm sorry to barge in like this, but I needed to see you. I need you to know the truth, about me, about Wes, about everything." she said quietly, seeming on the verge of tears.

"C-come in..." I said, still unsure of what was going on.

We both made our way to the couch and sat across from each other.

"Before you start, Aria, Wes... Wes is my brother." I said quickly, desperate to get that off my chest

A look of total shock crossed her face and she furrowed her eyebrows, now seeming confused.

"Wait, what?!" she asked, obviously perplexed.

"Yeah. He always liked you, when we were were, uh, you know, dating..." I rambled, unsure of where we stood.

She nodded slowly, as if she was trying to process everything I had just said.

"Ezra, I need to start over, I need to get away from Wes, and New York, and all the lies that lay there. And I want to start over with you too. If you'd be willing to, that is." she said confidently. A sudden image of the old Aria flashed through my mind, seeming so different yet so similar to the one that stood before me.
