Remember Ezria

Chapter Six

Ezra's POV

After the bell rang, everyone took their seats and only that one person I cared about wasn't there. It was like the whole room was empty.
"Okay. First thing I need to say is that the essays are cancelled and secondly; I won't be your teacher anymore. I was offered a position this morning at Hollis. Now, today is kinda a off day. Read or write."
I pulled out my phone to text Aria.

"Hey, what happened? Why aren't you at school?"

"I have a fever. I think I'll stay home for two days."

"I'll come over afterschool if you want me to. This is my last class."

"I would love that."

"Okay, I'll let you get some rest. I love you."

"I love you too. Bye."

The whole class time I graded papers and worried about Aria.

Aria's POV

I woke up to a thump downstairs and I was sweating all over my body.
"Hello? Dad? Are you home."
"No, it's just me."
"Ezra? My parents will kill you."
"I saw them left. It's okay. How are you feeling?"
"Not that well could you get my tea from my dresser?" He set down his briefcase and brought me my tea.
"Sure. Oh my god. Your sweating."
"I will be fine. I just needed some rest. It's really hot though."
"I just needed to see you. Do you want me to go?"
"No, stay. I need you here with me."
"I could call in for a sub for tomorrow and come here."
"No, that's fine. I will be good tomorrow."
"Do you need anything else?"
"I'm good. I-"
I was interrupted by the front door slamming.
"Aria? Are you home?"
I tried to whisper.
"Go in my closet."
"What?"
"Go now."
Hanna and Spencer walked through the door and walked towards me.
"Hey, we were worried about you."
"Yeah, do you have a fever?"
"Yeah. But I think I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Aw. Well, I picked up your homework. I'll set it down on your dresser. Who's briefcase is this for?"
"It's my dads. I really need some rest guys so I'm just going to..."
"We get it. Lets go. See you at school tomorrow."
"Okay, bye." I got up closing the door and locking it.
"That was close."
"Too close. Do you want me to leave now?"
"Yeah, my parents will be home soon. I'll see you tomorrow. Hopefully." I said under my breath.
"Okay." Ezra was leaning in for a kiss but I stopped him.
"I don't want to get you sick."
"I'll take the risk." He kissed me and let out a little laugh.
"I'll see you tomorrow bye."
I realized that he left his briefcase but I didn't have the energy to get up so I fell asleep.
