I eventually woke up in Ezra's bed in his arms. I remembered what happened earlier, "Aria?" Ezra said, pulling me closer, "You're awake," he said, rolling me over. He smiled, then kissed my forehead.
"I'm not glass, Ezra," I said, sighing. I tried not to cry.
"I know, Aria, and I'm really sorry for the way she acted. I really am," he said.
"It's not your fault, Ezra. She is just selfish and blames herself for you leaving," I said.
"When you talk like that you seem much older than me," he said, smiling at me. He's right. If I would talk like that all the time, you wouldn't know I was seventeen. I smiled back at him, trying to hide my hurt.
He must've seen it anyway, because he kissed me softly. I sighed and kissed him back. He smiled and got up, "Hungry?" he asked, picking up the phone. I laughed because neither of us can cook, "Yeah," I said. He smiled and called for pizza.
He came back and sat on the bed with me, "I'm proud of you, Aria," he said, rubbing circles into my back.
"For what? I totally broke down in front of your mom," I cried.
"I know, but you have done other things that have made me proud. You're different Aria, and you have never failed to make me love you,"
"Why do you love me, Ezra?" I asked, putting on a serious face, "When you found out I was your student, you could've let me go. Why didn't you?"
"Honestly, I didn't want to. I knew what I found was real, and I was determined to keep it. I love you, Aria Montgomery, and no one will ever change that," he said, looking me in the eyes.
"I love you so much, Ezra. Thank you for never giving up on us," I wrapped my arms around his neck just there was a knock at the door, "Pizza delivery," Ezra got up and got the pizza, opening it, "Aria," he said slowly.
"What?" I walked over to where he stopped. Stuck to the top of the box was a sticky note.
'DON'T GET TOO COZY YOU TWO.
-A'
"You can't be serious," I said, "Of all things," I stood still, and Ezra pulled me closer.
