"Aria, your phone's ringing," Ezra said, shaking me awake. He handed it to me, "Hello?" I said groggily.

"Aria, where are you?" Hanna asked.

"At Ezra's. What, did I miss something?"

"Yes, Spencer's party. We have to set up before six," I looked at the clock, ten of five.

"I'll be there,"

"What's wrong?" Ezra asked.

"Spencer's birthday party. I completely forgot, sorry," I grab Ed my bag and kissed him, "Love you"

"Love you too," he said, his eyes watching me as I left. I walked downstairs to my car and drove to Spencer's. I was greeted by Emily and Hanna as I pulled up. I felt guilty for forgetting about the party, "Sorry, I kept falling asleep at Ezra's," I said. Hanna smiled and Em shook her head, "What?"

"Nothing," Hanna said, pulling me inside. I looked at Em, who just shrugged.

We set up for the party, setting out chips and drinks, "She'a on her way. Toby's bringing her in," Em said. We turned off the lights and hid. We heard the door open, and Spencer and Toby walked in, "Surprise!" we all said, jumping out of our spots. Spencer smiled, and we all hugged her, "Happy birthday, Spence," I said.

"Thanks guys. You're awesome," she said, beaming. We all enjoyed ourselves and eventually Toby had to leave, and it was just us. I suddenly felt tired, 'How am I tired?' I thought, 'I slept twice at Ezra's'

"You okay, Aria?" Spencer asked, seeing my confusion.

"Just wondering why I'm so tired. I slept twice at Ezra's" I said.

"You have been looking tired lately," Hanna said, "Are you feeling okay?" Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, the headache and the nausea, so hard I almost fell over. I balanced myself and stood straight.

"I think I'm going to head home," I said, grabbing my stuff.

"You going to be okay going alone?" Emily asked. I nodded, "I'll see you guys at school tomorrow, okay?" They all nodded. I waved and walked to my car, and drove home.

*Ezra*

I'm getting worried about Aria. She fell asleep twice today. At first I thought nothing of it, but looking back, that isn't normal for her. I called her to make sure she was okay, "Hello?" she said, answering the phone.

"Are you home?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"I was just worried. Are you feeling okay?" I asked, generally concerned.

"Fine. Just tired," she answered.

"Okay, I'll let you get some sleep. See you at school?"

"Yeah,"

"Aria?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"I love you, don't forget that, okay,"

"I love you too, Ezra. See you tomorrow," she said, hanging up. Knowing she was okay made me feel better, but I couldn't help but worry...
