ARIAS POV:
"how is everything? I didn't think you'd call once you got there.. how was the drive? I already miss you.." he said
"it's good. of course I'd call why wouldn't I? it was long, very long. I miss you too... you know I love you right?"
"yeah I know..." He sighed as I thought to myself.
I sighed into the phone too "Ezra I'll be home before you know it. maybe this will be good for us.."
"yeah maybe.."
"what's that supposed to mean?" I asked
"nothing Aria. how's the weather."
"well it's gorgeous" I laughed
"what time is it there?" he asked
"11am, and there?" I asked
"9pm... So I got it. I'll call you every night before bed and you tell me goodnight and I'll tell you good morning."
"that sounds lovely Ezra." I laughed. I sighed and laid in my bed looking down at my toes.
"hey I should go I don't wanna be late for my first day talk to you later. goodnight. I love you." I smiled through the phone
"be great, I love you." he said then I hung up.
EZRAS POV:
I laid in our bed and stayed awake half the night it's only been a day but then a day turned into a week then a week turned into a month. I can't fall asleep at night I have to take medicine. this bed's too big without her. But sitting her In the dark hurts the most. sometimes darkness wins and that's okay. but now most days I walk around wishing I never met her because then I could sleep at night and I wouldn't have to walk around knowing there's someone like her. I keep telling myself i don't care. but I do care. I care so much it's eating me away. I hate the fact I care so much but it's the only thing I know how to do. But I'm constantly lying to myself just to get through the day. I went to one of my old college buddies houses, hardy. he was having a little party. he knew I was kinda in a slump over Aria. he's bound to make me forget her. But he knows I can't. we went out on the deck and talked. he talked about how he's dated girl after girl asking me for advice. asking me how even after 7 years in still in love with her. and 5 years spent apart. now we're married. "I don't k is I guess I'm just lucky you know?"
"how do you know when they're the one?" he asked staring at me sipping his beer. I sipped mine and looked around at the dark sky.
"ahh.. wel.." I said placing the beer down and suddenly I was having flashbacks of everything. every time I made her cry and every time we kissed. everything.
"I'd like to know more about you too..." She smirked. it's like meeting her just kept replaying in my head.
"you never know. but I mean I believe you know it's the right person when suddenly brown eyes are your new favorite thing especially hers. hers will become your favorite to look in. you'll know when you look across the room and catch her staring. you'll know when you wake up at 2 in the morning because of a dream she's with someone else. you'll know when her little smile becomes a hook in your heart. you'll know when her laugh is your favorite sound and you'll know when it kills you to see her walk out and away possibly forever or a day but it'll kill you." I said staring into the darkness behind hardy.
---
"I'm leaving Ezra... I'll be back before you know it."
"Aria please please don't go. I can't live without you."
her leaving kept replaying
----
I snapped back into reality
"it'll defiantly kill you. because once you kissed her you love know. you'll know it's her."
"how do you know it's the right kiss though?" He asked
"I've kissed a lot of girls hardy... a lot and when I kissed my wife well she wasn't my wife she was just a girl at the local college bar with no name but turned out to be Aria my student.... I mean it didn't matter because it was the first kiss that felt right. it was like the first kiss.. the right one. but I think when you have a connection with someone it never really goes away ya know? you don't get to choose if you get hurt in this cruel world but I'm glad it's her I gotta go its getting late. and I should probably stop drinking.."
"Hey you going to be okay?" he asked I nodded and drove home. I fell asleep and woke up instantly from a nightmare that Aria was hurt. I called her instantly.
"hey. I know it's late and I'm sorry. just I had a bad dream and it's 2am and I'm cold and everything is really blurry and all I know is I need you here laying next to me."
"it's fine. I'm here. I'll talk to you till you back to sleep. I've missed your voice..." she said sighing in the phone
