ARIA'S POV
I'm back at Ezra's appartment. I can't believe I left Radley, that I escaped that mental hospital where I never belonged. That wasn't my home, nor with Nelly or Mike. My home is here, with Ezra.
"Are you okay?" Ezra wishpered and wrapped his arm around me in a protective way before placing a kiss on top of my head
"Never been better" I smiled and roamed my eyes around the room. It was all still the same, all still very Ezra. I looked around one more time and saw that all too familiar brown, leather couch standing in front of the tv. I walked towards it, dropped myself down and the scent of old leather mixed with Ezra's parfume filled my nosestrills.
"I guess you want to watch a movie?" Ezra chuckled which made me turn around to face him.
"You know me so well" I smiled and before I knew it 'The Longest Ride' was playing and Ezra was making a bowl of popcorn. Suddenly, Ezra lifted my legs up and pulled me onto his lap, which caused a little squel to escape my lips. "Ezra!" I gasped and I saw his eyes widen at first.
"A- I'm sorry" He said and quickly let go of me. I gave him a confused look, so he just shook his head and let a sigh. "I'm sorry, I get you don't want to go that fast"
"You just surprised me silly, I want to be with you" I said and gave him a shy kiss on his cheek. Ezra looked me in my eyes, wrapped his arm even tighter around my waist and gave me a quick kiss on my lips. Although it only lasted for 1 or 2 seconds, it made the butterflies in my stomach go crazy again. I snuggled my head in Ezra's chest and watched the movie.
"You're staring again" I mumbled when I saw Ezra staring at me from the corners of my eyes. We were now halfway through the movie, but I caught the poor boy staring at me for more than three times now.
"I'm not even gonna apologize" Ezra smiled and brushed his hand against my arm. "I just can't believe you're in my arms"
"It's not like you never had me in your arms before"
"Yeah, but you weren't happy back then.. Now you are" Ezra said, brushed a piece of hair out of my face and continued watching the movie. He was right, he actually was right. I was never happy in the time I was with him. Not truly happy, and I hate myself for making him going through that. I don't know for how long I've been staring into nothingness, but it was long enough for Ezra to notice something was going on.
"What are you thinking about?" He asked and I just shook my head as I wiped away my tear.
"You can't like me" I wishpered
"Nope, I don't like you" Ezra said, and after that I gave him a frightening look. "I don't like you, I love you" He explained
"Impossible. I'm no good, I only bring trouble" I sighed.
"Aria, you don't bring trouble"
"Yes I do! You had to bring me to the freaking mental hospital!" I said and started to raise my voice
"So?"
"So?! I'm fucking sick Ezra!"
"And I only like you more for that! I love you being your beautiful, crazy, sick, adorable Aria! I don't care how crazy things might go, you will always be my first priority" Ezra said, and before I could respond he wrapped his arms around my legs and picked me up. "And now it's bedtime for this little babygirl"
"You're not even gonna let me respond to you?"
"That was enough cheesy talk for the day, I can't handle more" Ezra said as he carefully carried me to the bed, laid me down and tucked me in.
"I still love you"
"I love you too, now take this" Ezra said and handed me my medicine.
"I was hoping for something romantic" I mumbled and after that Ezra pressed a kiss on my forehead.
"I really, really love you" he wishpered, took my emtpy glass, and turned off the light. I closed my eyes and knew he was staring at me, waiting for me to fall asleep so I pretended to be asleep and a few minutes later I heard the door close.
EZRA'S POV
Aria was peacefully sleeping in bed, and that was the perfect moment for me to contact Brown. I promised him I would, because Aria wasn't even permitted to leave Radley yet. Brown just released her because 'We were too desperate for each other'. Aria is still mentally unstable, but fact is that she's a lot happier than before.
"Hey Dereck, Aria is in bed now. It was a good day for Aria. She was happy most of the time. She's sleeping and had her medicine.
- Ezra"
"Hey Ezra, thanks for letting me know. Did she have many moodswings?
-Dereck"
"She had two, but they didn't last long."
"Okay, just take it easy on her. Don't let her do much stuff that will cause moodswings. She's still unstable."
"I will, thank you"
I sighed and put my phone down. I changed into my pyjamas and quietly walked to the bed where Aria was sleeping. I crawled under the sheets and laid down, when two tiny arms wrapped around my waist and her head resting on my chest.
"Goodnight, my love"
"Goodnight Ezra" She mumbled against my chest.
"You're still awake?"
"I can't sleep without you"

The next morning
I woke up with Aria still crawled against my body, her hair perfectly falling in front of her face as her plump lips were only inches away from my chest. Suddenly, I heard the door open and footsteps coming our way.
"Aria?!"
