A knock on the door echoes through Ezra's apartment the following morning. He pulls off the covers and goes to answer the door. A flustered Aria greets him from the other side. She quickly rushes inside, mumbling about something.
"Slow down Aria" Ezra instructs
"I can't slow down. Didn't you hear the news? Charlotte's dead" Aria rambles
Ezra tries to act surprised.
"Charlotte? Dead. Oh my god" Ezra says, running his fingers through his curly hair.
"And the worst part is she died and I'm going to look responsible" Aria paces around the apartment.
Ezra gasps never wanting that to be his intention.
"Why would they think that?" He asks
"I was the only one that didn't want her released, Ezra. They're going to think I hurt her" Aria takes a seat on the couch.
"Aria it's going to be okay" Ezra assures her
"Who do you think killed her?" Aria asks, looking into Ezra's guilty ice blue eyes.
"I don't know Ar" Ezra lies "I really don't know"
