Arias POV

(Middle of January)

I was so happy to be spending a few days with Ezra away from the house. Tomorrow we are leaving for Yosemite National Park for a Friday thru Monday camping trip. Yosemite is about a 4 and a half hour drive from LA. Our other options were Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona or Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Ezra and I are meeting Hardy and his girlfriend for this camping trip. They live in Los Vegas, Nevada so there drive to Yosemite is about 5 and a half hours.

This semester I have UCLA classes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Ezra hired some more help at the Cappuccino Books Cafe so he was now able to take 4 days off. Today I had class from 7 am to 11 am, Work until 3 and then I will have to Spend about 2 hours doing homework tonight. Ezra got home from work and I just started packing for our trip.

"Still packing?" Ezra asked

"Technically just starting. I had 12 hours of classes this week, 8 hours of homework out side of class, and 20 hours working at Cappuccino Books Cafe." I said

"Aria, I have more help now so it's perfectly fine if you want to cut down on the amount of hours you work in a week." Ezra said

"On top of all this I am supposed to take Toby to a doctors appointment like now because it 345 PM and the appointment is at 4 PM. Toby is supposed to get his cast off today." I said

"Where's Spencer when you need her?" Ezra asked

"UCLA and Jason's helping her with some big pre law project." I said

"If it helps I can take Toby to his appointment and you can finish packing." Ezra said

"Thanks but you just got home and I can finish this later." I said

"I'm going back to work at 6 so I probably won't see you until later. Remember its really cold in Yosemite during the winter months so make sure to pack warmer clothing." Ezra said

"Why are we going in January then? Wouldn't it make more sense to wait until summer?" I asked

I took Toby to his doctors appointment. Toby got his cast off today and he smiled for the first time several weeks. After the appointment we stopped by the Cafe to get some dinner. Ezra was probably back at work by now but I didn't see him.

"Are you excited for your camping trip with Ezra?" Toby asked

"Yes, I need a break from everything." I said

"Be careful Aria, A bear is bigger and weighs a lot more then you." Toby said

"I think you just ruined it for me because now i'm going to spend the entire time worried about bears and the other wildlife." I said

"Remember the Bears are as scared of you as you are of them so give them space and you will be fine." Toby said

"At least if you and Spencer were going we would have a gun." I said

"No, I haven't been cleared yet. LAPD has my gun and I won't get it back until they can prove what actually happened. Right now they think I lied to protect myself." Toby said

"Is that true?" I asked

"It all happened so fast and my memory was really foggy when I woke up in the hospital. When I was questioned by higher up police office I don't know if I told the complete truth."Toby said

"Does Spencer know about this?" I asked

"No and I have to be the one to tell Spencer so don't say a word." Toby said
