"Ezra are you ok? What happened?" Aria asks Ezra as she finds him on the ground looking like he's been beaten.

He gave no response to Aria's worrying words. Her eyes built up with tears and they fall harder every second. She dials 911 and had the day she never expected.

Aria sat alongside Ezra's bed at the hospital. She was very worried for Ezra as this wasn't the first time he's been lying in a hospital bed with Aria worrying sick about him.

Aria's POV-
I was walking along the street and then I came across the church. I peered my head around the corner and there I spotted Ezra. He was lying on the ground. Face and arms covered in bruises. His nose was bleeding. He had a black eye in the lower corner of his right eye. He looked all broken.

I couldn't help but cry my eyes out. The tears were soaking up his t shift earlier as I leaned on his chest while the ambulance was on its way. I had no way to keep my emotions in. The tears came flooding out. I was to shaken to ring anyone but 911.

What was going to happen to Ezra? I want this to all be a dream. Was my mind playing tricks on me? Am I hallucinating or something? What did Ezra get hurt? Why not me? Wait, I'm pregnant why would I wanna get hurt? But why Ezra? Why couldn't it be some other random guy walking the street?

This can't be happening to me today. Of all days why today? First this Emily thing I mean a crush on me or was she missing Ali that bad? Then Ezra calls a therapist. What is going on in the world? And now Ezra has bad injuries and is lying in hospital.

"Aria." I sat on the chair next to the bed making calls and checking messages as I heard a voice broke my say my name. I turned my head to notice Ezra was awake.

"Ezra." I reply. "Please don't do that again. You scared me." I continued as I looked sympathetically. He giggled for a moment until he felt pain and stopped laughing. I reached out for his hand and held it in mine. I raised it to the level of my mouth and kissed it.

"Aria." He says.
"Shh. Don't talk Ezra. It'll only give you pain." I told him. It seemed that every sudden movement gave him a sting of pain that lasted a few seconds.

"Aria. Aria." He begins. His expression shows he's in a lot of pain.
"I remember" he continues.

What does he remember? The person who did this? Or people? Was it a group of people? Did he get run over?

"I..I..I was talking to Toby. And..." He's trying so hard to remember what happened.

" Yeah he came to talk to you about why you ran off. Oh, Ezra let's not talk about this now. Let's focus on you getting better." I smiled at him and hoping he was happy I was with him.

I didn't think to call his mom because she wouldn't give a damn. I rang Spencer and Wesley. Spencer came over right away with Toby, Caleb and Emily but Wes was busy with work and his new girlfriend.

" A few broken bones and a couple of bruises but you should be out of here tomorrow!" Says the doctor on his way in.
"You hear that Ezra?" I told him
" You'll be coming home sooner than you think" I smiled at him because I was happy that he wasn't going to be in there long.

"Aria." I heard Ezra say as best as he could.
"I love you" he continues to say with a thankful look. I smiled back at him.

Ezra's POV-
I wanted to tell her what happened but u didn't have the energy. I knew exactly how to tell her but she didn't want me to talk because she knew I was in a lot of pain.

I kept looking up and seeing Aria's face looking worryingly at me as she couldn't stand to see me in pain. I could tell that she was in as much emotional pain as I was physical.

I keep retelling he story over and over in my head. Coming up with a better way to tell Aria. To tell her how I'm in this state. I remember that I was talking to Toby.

He left after I confessed to what happened. I sat on the bench with a breeze flowing in my direction. I heard my phone buzz and I recognised that I got a message.

I got up to walk home and I heard a car speeding up behind me along the street. Quickly I ran across the road but it got too close. But I can't remember the car hitting me.

How can I tell Aria? This is too hard for me.

Ezra stayed in the hospital for the following night and then went home with a cast on his leg and crutches to support him. The doctor let him have a wheelchair if he needed it.

Aria helped Ezra get in her car and she took him home. He was safe at home sat in bed a gave Aria the hug to remember. Aria becomes the best girlfriend ever when she does everything she can to make sure he is ok and comfortable.

She slips herself inside the covers of the bed next to Ezra. She lifts her right leg over Ezra's to feel comfort in his arms whilst he's gotta go through pain for the next couple weeks. She feels his cast as she moves her leg up and down his.

She reaches her hand over to Ezra's back and pulls herself closer to his body. She looks up at him with a twinkle in her eye.

"It'll be over before you know it" says Aria. They look at each other dreamily staring into their eyes. Aria can't help but catch his scent every time she breaths in.

Ezra raises his hand and touches his thumb to her lip. He can't help but gaze at the pinkish colour of her glossy lips. He blinks at the sight and leans in for a kiss.

"Aria?" Ezra says.
"Yeah" she replies.
"I'm ready to tell you what happened."
