"Paris or Venice?" My fingers ran over the mans chest as he said the words.
"Tough one." Two romantic cities couldn't compare to the walls that surrounded us. It seems that no amount of bright lights or beautiful sunsets could amount to the true wonder that lay here with us.
"Paris." Was all I replied with though, my head lying now on Ezra'a chest.
"And whys that then?" He moved the sheets over me, making sure that I wasn't going to get cold anytime soon.
"I don't know, I mean they're both beautiful but something about Paris has always stuck in my mind."
"I like where you're going with that."

A hum of silence fell over the room upon telling the girls about me and Ezra.
"What about Liam?" Hanna asked as she twirled her engagement ring around her finger, "I thought you two were getting rather serious."
"It's plain to see that they were going to end up with each other, Aria has never truly felt as passionate about anyone else in the way should does with Ezra." Spencer filled in the gap where I chose not to speak.
"Liam wasn't a nice person, I thought he was."
"How so?" Emily asked, the concern truly showing on her face.
"I don't want to talk about it."

Days began to turn into weeks and my stay in Rosewood began to be prolonged. I had intend on leaving weeks ago but with the new story of what came with Ezra my plans were instantly changed. My family had gone away for the weekend so i used the time to move the remaining things out of my old house into Ezra's apartment, my things from Liam's I had gotten a while back when he was out.
As soon as I walked into my room a sense of nostalgia hit me, so many years ago in here is where I would spend my days with a whole different sense of the world. Everything would be different back now but only one thing stayed the same, Ezra.

"I've always wanted to see your room properly." I quickly jumped round to see the man of my thoughts with a smile planted on his lips.
"Yes well, I didn't successfully think of an excuse for you to come up here back in high school."
The man walked into my room inspecting everything inside, much like I did on my first visit to his apartment. Many of my belongings had been boxed up and taken a while ago but I intended on keeping a few things the same for if I ever intended to come back to Rosewood for a while. It seems now my stay was permanent. I watch every single movement as he flicks over things that are more of a sentimental value, the books he gave me, the pictures of us. His sweatshirt.
"You kept this?"
"It's comfy..." Was the quickest thing I could come up with. That was the sweatshirt I would wear when he was out of town, when we used to fight. It used to be my comfort and up to this day it still slightly was. I could always rely on things that reminded me of Ezra to get me out of the pit of despair I was in.
His next area of inquiry was my laptop, my most recent search was the articles that had been very quickly wrote about us.

"Why are you reading these? They're pure crap."
"You can't start a fire without smoke Ezra."
His body was soon wrapped with mine and those words were merely just words again, nothing else.
"I love you Aria Montgomery, there is nothing else to our story, we finally have our happy ending."

And how I wish he was right.
