It was a Mistake

A/N: For this story I'm currently in the year 2017  

*Friday September 29th*

Aria's POV

Avoiding Caleb has been hard because it also sometime means avoiding Hanna. I want to see my best friend but I now that's she is really close to giving birth Caleb is almost always with her. I think Ezra has picked up on some things. He asked me why I didn't want to be with Hanna and the other girls. I couldn't tell him that being with them also meant seeing Caleb so I just said I had really bad cramps and didn't feel like being with my friends. 

Kissing Caleb was a mistake and something that I never wanted to tell Ezra about. I'm scared that he will find out but I don't want to hurt Ezra by telling him. The last time I saw Caleb was about a month ago when he helped Ezra install a nanny can. I didn't stay in the apartment the entire time because I had to go the the UCLA book store so I could buy books for university. Ezra and I hired back the nanny because we needed someone to watch Gabriella while I was in school.

It was fairly early in the day and it was already really hot outside. It was so hot that LA public schools closed early today and because of that Cappuccino Books Cafe was extra busy today. 

There was a knock on the apartment door. I answered it thinking it was one of the girls but it was Caleb instead.

"Hi Caleb, I wasn't expecting anyone." I said

"I sent you a text Aria and I didn't get a response." Caleb said

I looked and my phone and saw the text from Caleb.

"Can we talk - Caleb"

I had received the text an hour ago and I just now noticed it. 

"Well since you are here I guess we can talk." I said

"I wanted you to know that I was really sorry about the kiss we shared. I really just want to go back to being friends and I hope that kiss didn't mess up our friendship." Caleb said

"I can't be friends with you right now Caleb." I said

"If you can't be friends with me then can you at least not let us affect your friendship with Hanna?" Caleb asked

"I will try but I can't promise anything." I said

"Hanna really misses you. Hanna is with Spencer and Kayla right now. They are talking about baby things and I just thought you should be with them." Caleb said

"If your going to be there with them then I'm not." I said

"I told Hanna about the kiss we shared. Spencer told Toby that you and I shared a kiss. Honestly, the only way that I see us moving past this is if you tell Ezra." Caleb said

"Caleb, I can't ever tell Ezra that we kissed. I have to live with it for the rest of my life and the least I can do is not let Ezra find out." I said

I heard a key opening up the door. Ezra was the only one besides me that had a key. We only gave the nanny a key when she was watching Gabby and we asked for it back when she left.

"Caleb you need to leave now so Aria and I can talk." Ezra said and he sounded mad.

"How much did you hear?" I asked
