A Year On Iceland

Chapter 27

Aria's POV

My parents came and they pretended like they don't know anything and so do I. We are talking and everything is great

"Aria how did you spend your new years eve?" Dad asked. This was starting

"It was great. I had so much." I said

"Maybe too much fun." Dad said and I pretended to be confused

"What do you mean?" I asked

"We saw the video of you making out with that guy. Who is he?" Mom said

"Ohh... I don't know." I said and she was confused

"What do you mean you don't know? You called him baby boy." Dad said and I looked in Mike

"I don't know who's he. I don't even remember being with him. I don't even know his name. I just know what they told me." I said and I think Mike figured out where this was going

"You don't remember being with him? Aria be honest. You can't not remember him." Mom said

"But I am honest I don't remember him. I remember only few parts of that night." I said playing with my fingers

"Aria what is going on? How you remember only few parts of the night?" Mom asked are they so stupid that they don't get it

"You can tell them. I'm on your side." Granny said taking me for my hand

"That night I was with Kate Katy and Sarah. We went on some concert. I wanted to have some more fun and we went to take a drink. They didn't want to give us alcohol and then that guy came. He bought us alcohol but I didn't know when to stop like they did. Glass after glass and the next thing I remember is waking up at Sarah's place with big headache." I said with fake tears in my eyes

"You got drunk? You're 17." Mom asked and I slowly nod my head

"That's normal here." I said

"Wait if you just met guy there why Katy wrote lovebirds?" Dad asked

"Aria you're caching yourself in your own lie. I don't see the point of you doing this. You can just say you have a boyfriend and bring him here so we can meet him." Mom said and I looked in her eyes

"I'm not lying. I don't have a boyfriend and she wrote lovebirds because I told them that he was my boyfriend." I said and my phone rang. It was a message

"Leave your phone here and go to your room. You're grounded for getting drunk." Mom said. Before I handed her the phone I read the text. It was Ezra saying he misses me. I handed her the phone and went in my room. I hope this goes well. I heard them yelling downstairs. Granny was on my side saying how it's not my fault I got drunk and something how they need to understand that I went through so much and some more stuff

"Aria come downstairs!!" Mom yelled and I went down. Some older boy was standing at the door

"Who is this?" Dad asked and I looked confused at the guy. This is the first time I see him

"You seriously don't remember me? I'm Peter." The guy said on German. He winked me and I played along

"So that is your name. Hi." I said and he hugged me

"Ezra send me here. He told me everything." He whispered in my ear

"Thanks for helping." I whispered and my dad separated us

"Who's he?" Dad asked on English probably so he can't understand

"I'm sorry for what happened the other night. I didn't want to get you drunk. Do you think we can start over?" Peter said and my dad understood him

"I don't think so. But thank you for coming to apologize. I appreciate it." I said and dad was just watching at us

"I didn't want you to get in trouble because of me. I didn't think when I got you drunk. I'm really sorry." Peter said

"It's okay." I said and we hugged "Tell Ezra I miss him and that I'll be there as soon as I can. See you there." I whispered in his ear and we pulled apart. He went and this was a good idea. I didn't thought of it. Ezra's smart man

I talked with my parents again about that night and with Granny's help they decided to forgive me this time. I'm not in detention anymore but I have the feeling like they're going to watch my every move. They don't buy the thing that we met that night they think it's something that has been going on for a while. This will pass in few weeks. Ezra just can't be anywhere around. I snook out and Katy's mom saw me walking so she drove me to Ezra's apartment. She's such a nice women. I walked in. Ezra and I hugged and kissed

"New lipstick?" He asked and I smiled

"Yeah. You like it?" I asked and he nod kissing me again. Peter was on the couch and we both thanked him one more time. We talked and now Peter needed a favor from us

"I have the dinner with my family in few days and they want me to bring my girlfriend but I don't have it." He said and I got it. I'm supposed to be his girlfriend

"Free dinner. I'm in." I said and Ezra looked in me "It's not my decision to make." I said with serious face

"We have to kiss 2 times and it doesn't have to last long. One when we saw each other and one for goodbye. We will hold hands through dinner but not all the time." Peter added and I looked in Ezra

"I owe him that much." I said and after some time Ezra accepted. In few days I'm having a date with some guy I just met. I have to admit he's cute but not as cute as Ezra
