How could I have been so stupid?! I let him in and he wrote about me! I must be the biggest idiot on the planet.

On my way home I can barely see because of my tears, and I almost crash the car.

I pull over, overwhelmed and my phone starts ringing. It's Ezra. I ignore it and call Mike to come find me and take me home.

"Hey Aria. What's up?" He asked.

"Mike, can you come pick me up?" I asked my voice cracking.

"What's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"Something happened. I really need you right now. Please."

"I'm on my way."

After I hang up I text him where I am and wait. Tears stream down my face as I replay what happened at Ezra's.

Eventually, Mike gets me and we head home. Mike never asked what happened just made sure I was okay.

After assuring him, I walk upstairs and to my room closing the door. I see a note on my bed and open it.

I can't wait until tonight. I love you so much.

Love,
Ezra

I crumpled it up and threw it away. I change into pajamas and lay on my bed trying to forget the world.

Pain rushes through my body as I fall to the ground. As I wake up there is oil on my body.

I see a match next to me on the floor and back away from it. Looking into the camera I screamed.

"Why?! Why are you doing this?!" I screamed.

Before I knew it, a light burned a fire started on the other side of the room. As I try to put it out, my hands catch on fire and I stop, drop, and roll.

By the time I already put it out, I was screaming. Eventually, someone came in and put out the fire and led me to a bathroom so I can change.

Waking up, I rub my wrists and see the faint burn marks on them. I look at the time and see it's noon.

I change, grab my phone, and walked to Mona's house. She went through this too. Someone should check up on her.

Knocking on the door, I try to hide my scars. When Mona opens it she looks surprised and leads me up to her room.

"Has anyone checked up on you?" I asked sitting on her bed.

"Why would they?" She asked sitting next to me.

"Hanna mentioned something about you in there. Why were you let out?"

"Charles needs me. He let me out because he needed me for other things."

"Like getting Ezra arrested?"

"Look, Aria. I've tried to leave but that almost got me killed. If I do leave, I'll be dead for sure."
