HAYES' POV
_________________

"Well, this is goodbye." I said.

"Hayes, please stay." Aria cried.

"I'm sorry. I just feel like this is for the best." I said.

"Yeah, you're right. You've been worrying about my happiness that you didn't stop to think about your self. I'm sorry about that." Aria said.

"Don't be. It's been an amazing 3 years with you. I just think it's best to see other people and to be with out friends and family." I said.

"Yeah. Well, have a safe trip back. And I love you." Aria smiled and I kissed her.

"I love you too. I'm gonna miss you." I said.

"I'm gonna miss you too." She said and wiped a tear away.

I opened the door, looked back at her and smiled and walked out.

I'm gonna miss this place but I'm gonna love it in California.

LIZZIES POV
_________________

Hayes should be back in a two days or so. Driving and staying at hotels. It's a long drive.

I was just sitting in the couch as I heard a knock on the door.

I looked at Maddie and she looked confused.

I got up and answered the door.

It was Georgia.

"Hey, wha-" I was saying but she bursting in through the door and past me.

"Hey! I was in town and I wanted to say hello." She smiled.

"Come on in." I sarcastically said.

"Where Jace?" She asked.

"Why?" I asked.

"I haven't seen him is forever!" She said.

"I don't care. Why are you here, Georgia?" I asked.

"Just thought it would be nice to come say hi to my friends." She smiled.

Me and Maddie giggled under our breath.

"Well, that's nice but we are so busy today." I said.

"No, but yet. I want to say hi to my old friend Jace. Where is he?" She asked.

"Fine, one sec." I rolled my eyes and walked up stairs.

"Jace?" I said and walked in to Jace wrapped in a towel.

"Guess who's here." I said.

"Who?" He asked rubbing his hair with a towel.

"Georgia." I said.

"What? Tell her to leave." He said.

"I did but she won't until she says hi to you." I said.

"Fine. But, just know there nothing going on between us. I didn't know she was coming." He said and put his hands on my shoulder.

"I know, babe." I smiled.

He smiled and walked out to the stair well.

"Hey, Georgia. Yeah, you should get going. We're all so busy, doing, stuff." He lied.

"Awe, already? I just got here. How about we all go out for dinner later today?" She smiled.

"No." Me, Maddie and Jace said in sync.

"Why not it would be fun!" She smiled.

"Like I said we're SO busy. It just won't work." Jace said.

"Fine. By the way. You look SO sexy in the towel, babe." She smiled and walked out.

I was speechless. How could she say that?

My mouth dropped and Jace looked at me.

"Don't worry about her." Jace said.

"Okay." I smiled and he kissed my forehead.

I walked in the room with him.

"You do look sexy in that towel, babe." I smirked.

"Really? You look sexy in your sweat pants, baby." He smirked and grabbed my by my waist.

I kissed him and laid down ok the bed as he got dressed in the bathroom.

I just stared up at the ceiling and thought:

How did Georgia even know where we lived? She must have got it from somewhere.. but who?
