New Years Eve

15 minutes to go

"I've missed my meeting." Aria stated even though neither of them had a watch, they knew it had been hours though. Ezra was busy messing with the elevators buttons trying to figure if there was another way to get this thing to move. "I always wondered what would have happened if I had never left, I wonder about what would have happened to us." The girl stood up, smoothing down her dress and made her way next to Ezra. As soon as he felt Aria's presence coming nearer he quickly turned to look at her. "Do you think we would still be together?" Aria asked and Ezra had to stop himself without blurting out the answer. His mind was racing
Yes. Of course yes. He would do anything to hold her. To touch her. To kiss her. She broke his heart yet he wanted her more than anything the world could ever provide. He would hold onto that girl and never let her go.

"I'm not sure. I haven't really thought about it."

"I wonder if New Years has passed..." Aria pondered over her thoughts and pulled Ezra round to look at her. "We could have our own celebration? I mean obviously we're in an elevator but let's just pretend."
"Aria, what's the point?"
"Oh come on, for me? Every year for as long as I can remember I have stopped up to the latest hour just so I can welcome the new year in, hoping for it to be better than the last and I have been lucky enough for that to happen. I can't stop now."
Anything Aria wanted, Ezra would do. She didn't even need to ask.
"Okay then, countdown."
"5-"
Aria began and she pushed her hair behind her ears.
"4-"
The girl moved in so close to Ezra she was able to hear him breathe.
"3-"
Ezra held onto the girls hips, something he had done so many times in the past but never truly appreciated. Seeing Aria in this light, in this moment was the biggest wish he had ever wanted all year.
"2-"
The gap between them began to decrease as Aria placed her hand on the mans cheek, both of them had missed this so much - they were meant to be together after all of this time.
"1-"
Ezra moved to lean in-

"All done!" The elevator doors opened to reveal several groups of people waiting to use the lift. Aria and Ezra immediately moved away from each other. The pair looked completely mortified for a brief few seconds but then Aria grabbed her bag and headed out the elevator.
"Where are you going?" Ezra asked quickly trying to follow her.
"Spencer's party, I'm not going to let another person down this year. See you around Ezra."
