Aria returns to the apartment in a daze. Everything in her life didn't seem right. Nicole was alive and she had just kissed the love of her life. She had just kissed Aria's entire world. Ezra hadn't returned any of her calls. Spencer was shot and she was at the hospital. Everything was going wrong.
She drops her purse onto the floor and plops down on the bed, causing the sheets to wrinkle. She sinks her head into the pillow and curls into a ball. She was wearing his sweatshirt and it still smelled like him. Almost as if he was laying next to her like he was supposed to be. Aria couldn't help but drift into all the memories of him and it hurt even worse.
"Yeah. You're smart. You've traveled, great taste in music. I'd like to know more about you"
"I love you and nothing you just said changes that"
"Do you have any idea how much I love you?"
"I'm in love with your daughter. I love Aria"
"I've lied about a lot of things but I've never lied you, not once about how I feel about you"
"You know there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you, right?"
"I don't want to hear you say you're sorry again"
"I'm not going to apologize for loving you"
"Aria, its French vegan food. I must really love you"
"I drove beside the tracks until I found you"
"I could never hate you"
"If you want me there, I will be there"
"I thought I lost you"
"I'm saying, I want what's best for you"
"I mean I do have your self portrait above my desk. I mean I did. I did"
"How about I start introducing you as pookie bear?"
"Have you considered Hollis collage? They have a wonderful arts program and I think you'll find the teachers very hands on"
"I can't be the one to swoop you up and comfort you, but it kills me"
"I feel worse about having to stay away from you"
"I thought about you every second I was gone"
"I want you in my life Aria, for the rest of my life. I don't ever want to let you go"
She didn't realize she had drifted into a deep sleep.
"Aria" Someone whispered as she slowly opened her eyes.
"Ezra" She calls, wrapping her arms around him and crying into his shoulders.
"Aria, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of it" He whispers, holding onto her body. "I can't live without you. I don't want to live without you"
"I forgive you" She says
Her lip was quivering and tears were staining the front of her shirt.
"I love you so much" He rubs her tears off her cheeks. "I don't ever want to let you go"
"You won't need to" She says, smashing her lips onto his.
Although Aria was mad, she loved him and she knew he loved her too. Everyone makes mistakes. She herself had made those mistakes. She loved him too much to be mad at him.
"I love you so so much" He says, stroking her hair. "I want to marry you. I want move into a huge house with you. I want to have kids with you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you"
"I want the world with you"
