Four days later.....
"Aria its time to go home now" Ella called, packing all of Aria's clothes into a small suitcase.
Ella had come and brought Aria some clean clothes to wear since her's were ruined, but Aria hasn't been out of bed since she'd seen Ezra. She'd stayed in the paper hospital gown since that day and hasn't spoken to anyone. She'd stared at the ceiling all day long like she was in a trance. Nurses and doctors came in to give her medicine, thinking it was aftershock of what she'd been through but Aria would throw the pills across the room until the nurses and doctors didn't even bother bringing them in anymore. The only one who came and went was her mother. She tried to get Aria to eat, bringing in food from the cafeteria but Aria just barely nibbled and barely drank anything.
"I'm not leaving" Aria called out which stopped Ella in her tracks.
"What do you mean your not leaving?" She said, zipping up the suitcase.
"Like I said. I'm not leaving" Aria crossed her arms.
"You haven't talked to me in days. You won't tell me what's happened. You won't tell me why Ezra isn't visiting you. You won't even tell me where he is and now the first thing that comes out of your mouth is disrespect. You will come home with me right now young lady" Ella gives Aria a stern look.
"I'm an adult now. You can't tell me what to do" Aria pulls the blanket up to her chest.
"Your an adult now huh? Well you sure don't act like one" Ella scarfed out
"You want to know! You really want to know! I'm sitting here in this hospital bed because of my sister. A sister I didn't even know I had. I'm not talking or moving or eating because of a Ezra. The sister I didn't know I had hit him with a car. And you have the nerve to act like you have it bad. You have a husband and you have Mike and you have a job. Your life is perfectly fine. You don't have a boyfriend that doesn't even remember you and if he does will probably end up in jail because of you. You can't tell me that I'm not acting like an adult because I'm being an adult. I'm keeping my emotions in check like an adult which you harshly reminded me that I don't act like. So until you have gone through any of the things that I've gone through you can't even speak to me about my actions, worry about yourself!"
Aria screams at Ella which makes her jump back in astonishment.
"Fine" She slams the suitcase shut and exits.
Aria was alone once again. Like she wanted.
"Ezra" She called out "Ezra I love you, please come back to me"
Although Ezra couldn't hear her she continued to call for him. Like he was a ghost floating around her room, flooding her mind.
