I'm so sorry for this superlate update, just a lot of things happened that I did not expect to happen, I was superbusy with school and I'm superstressed due everything. I just hope you understand and forgive me :p
Lots of love

"Aria, Noel wasn't here"

"No Ezra, you've got to believe me! I- I'm serious! He was here!" I said as Ezra pressed a kiss on top of my head. "You don't believe me, do you?" I sobbed as I looked up at Ezra.

"It's not that I don't want to believe you, I just refuse to believe it" Ezra mumbled and pulled me on his lap.

EZRA'S POV

It's happening again. How much I want to deny it, Aria is twisting the truth again. Noel wasn't here. He couldn't have been, but to see Aria so convinced of the fact that Noel had talked to her, made me doubt. Maybe he climbed through the window? Maybe he snuck in when I went to the toilet? I don't know. I really don't know. But I do know that this, this wicked, twisted reality has to stop. Soon. Really soon. I want to see that girl in the second row, smiling when her friends tell her a joke. I don't ever want to see her so afraid, so scared never, ever again.

"Come on, I'm gonna take you somewhere" I said and stood up from the bed. Aria gave me a questioning look before she cradled under her sheets and squeezed my hand.

"No, no Ezra I don't want to go outside" Aria panicked

"Aria, you can do this, it's really important" I said and tried to convince the girl

"Ezra, I don't want to, like really don't want to" Aria said and looked at me, fear all over her eyes. Afraid for the fact she had to go outside, afraid for people to see her in this state.

"Now you have to trust me, Aria" I said, emphasizing the word me. "No one will see you" I said and brushed a strand piece of hair out of her face. "Please, for me?" I asked and saw Aria hesitating for a second.

"Okay, only for you" She said and stood up from the bed. I wrapped my arm around her waist, threw my coat around her shoulders and walked to the door.

"You can do this, I promise" I said, pressed a kiss on top of her head and opened the door.

"I haven't been out for ages, I can't seem to remember this road" Aria groaned as she stared out of the little car window.

"That's because you fell asleep babe, we're out of town" I smiled at the sight of the tiny girl that was sitting in the passengers seat next to me.

"Are you serious? I really have to stop falling asleep" Aria said and met my gaze

"It's okay, you haven't slept for the whole night" I said and focussed on the road again

"Where is your friend?"

"He went home" I explained "We're almost here"

Here we were, arrived at our destination. It was an empty beach. It was early spring, so it wasn't warm enough for people to come.

"What are we doing here?" Aria asked as she rubbed her arms to keep her warm.

"I want you to walk to the water, to the ocean" I said and pointed to the rough water. The waves were higher than ever. "I want you to scream, whatever is bothering you.. Spill it, scream it, let it all out.." I said and gestured to the rough ocean. Aria just nodded and walked towards the water. It was an odd day, and although it was spring the sky was grey. It wasn't raining, but the sun wasn't shining either. Suddenly, I heard Aria screaming.

"I hate this!" She screamed towards the sea. For the birds to hear her, or maybe the fish in the sea. For god knows who, the girl was screaming her lungs out. "I hate my life!" She screamed. The cold water was tickeling her feet, her oversized sweater was brushing against her slim body and her hair was flowing in the wind. "I hate myself!" She screamed again. Everytime she yelled she took a step further into the see. The goosebumps on her bare legs proved the cold the girl was expierencing. "I hate people!" She screamed. By now, the water was coming up to her knees. I was watching her from a meter of 100 away, and I have to say she was finally breaking. She was finally letting her emotions out.
"And most of all, I hate Ezra Fitz for making me fall in love with him!" Aria yelled. To say I'm shocked was an understatement. I did not expect Aria to say it, I did not expect that she would dare to say it. Suddenly I saw Aria burrying her head in her hands. The wind was blowing really hard now, and as my feet made their way to the girl the only thing I could hear was the wind, and the storm that was threatening to break out. Once I got to the water I ran into it, all the way up to Aria. The water was reaching her waist now and it was touching the end of her sweatshirt. Once I reached her I opened my arms and took the sobbing girl in my arms.

"I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said" Aria yelled so I could hear her and grabbed onto my shirt.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, you can say whatever you want to say" I yelled back

"No, I love you Ezra!" Aria yelled and burried her face in my neck. Soon the first raindrops started falling.

"I love you too!" I yelled back and opened my coat, which I got back from Aria before she walked into the ocean, and wrapped it around Aria

"No, I mean I really love you, I'm just scared, and I don't want to go too fast!" Aria yelled which caused my heart to jump.

"We don't have to, we can make this work!" I yelled and soon Aria wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Yeah, we can!" She yelled and pressed her lips onto mine. The rain was pouring down, the waves were higher than ever, the wind was blowing hard, but we didn't care. We didn't care that there was a big storm coming, that we were standing in the middle of the ocean, risking to get caught by the waves. We were only focussed on each other. I wrapped my arms around her body and although we were soaking wet, the kiss was perfect. Aria's soft lips against mine made me forget everything we were going through. It made me forget how difficult life could be, how unfair our society can be. It even made me forget who I was for a second or two. Aria Montgomery had the ability to take me to another world, to make me the happiest man alive. That's one of the very many reasons I love her.

"We can make this work"
