Is Being Shot Enough

Chapter 3

Aria POV
I made my way to the hospital to make sure that Ezra was okay. I walk throw the doors and find the desk.

"Hi, I'm here to see Ezra Fitz's." I say hoping that it was good news I was about to receive.

"I'm sorry..." she said and immediately thought the worst."..he is still in surgery. You are welcome the sit in the waiting area." Once she finished I felt this wave of relief lift off of my shoulders.

"Thank you." I say to the lady behind the desk. I walk over the waiting area and sit in one of the orange chairs. While I was sitting my mind started to wonder about us. I love him, but the whole relationship was built on a lie.

Out of the corner of my eye I see someone. It looked like Shona. It Turned my head to make sure. I was right, but what was she doing here? I got up out of my little orange waiting chair and walked up to her.

"What are you doing here?" I ask curiously.

"Ali sent me, she wanted to make sure you were OK." Shona said. I could feel this huge wave of anger come over me. Why did she care? How was she in New York? I knew this wasn't not the time or place to blow up so I walked back to my chair.

"Well you can leave. I don't need a babysitter." I say trying to calm myself down.

"Look Aria you don't have to like me, but I'm staying." she said. By this time I was so too exhausted to keep on fighting with her, so I sat back into my little orange chair. I knew that I had to stay awake for any news but I just felt the weight of my eyelids get heavier and heavier.

*DREAM*

I open my eyes and feel my body jerk up. I realize that i'm in Ezra's bed. Then I feel strong arms grip my hip and pull me close.

"You ok babe, I thought that the nightmares had stopped." Ezra whispered in my ear.

"They did but they must have started again. It was bad babe." I say. I roll over so that i'm facing him and he pulls me even closer (if that was even possible) "You were shot by A in the stomach all because we broke up because you were writing a book and..." I start rambling fast but he kisses me.

"Hey, I'm right here..." he says and takes my hand and places it on his stomach running it down his abs "...fell that? I'm not shot. I'm right here and I'm not going any where. ok?" he says. I can't take the teasing anymore. I kiss him, hard. We start to make out. Our lips in perfect sync. He pulls away and touches his forehead to mine.

"What would you say to a date to night..." he starts to trail kisses down my jaw and onto my neck. "...just...you...me..and the theater?" he finishes. His lips hovering over my neck waiting for a reply.

"I would love to." I say and slide away trying to get away from him because I know that it would drive him absolutely crazy. I feel his arms quickly and playfully pull me back down.

"Where do you think you are going," He says "I said tonight not now."

"But i need to go home and find something to wear." i say trying to escape the strong hold tbat he has.

"Ok, but you can only go if i can also take you to dinner and you give me a proper goodbye kiss." he said as he loosened his grip. I sit up and face him and gave him a 'proper goodbye kiss' and left the apartment.

*THAT NIGHT*

"oh my gosh, this steak is so good." I say as the juice from the steak fills my mouth. I've had steak before but this was the best yet, but then again me and Ezra eat take out most of the time.

"You deserve only the best my love." Ezra says and reaches for my hand. I reach for his till our hands touch. I can feel a smile creap it's way into my face. I hear a song, "I Don't Dance", start to play in the back round.

"May I have this dance?" Ezra says as he stands up and offers me his hand.

"Absolutely." I say as I stand and take his hand. We walk over to the dance floor. He spins me around so that i am facing him. He puts my small hand in his and I put my head on his chest because I wanted to feel closer to him, thats when the words of the song started.

"I'll never settle down, thats what I always thught. Yea I was that kind of man, just ask anyone." Ezra sings softly. it was hard to here him over all of the other people in the restarant, but I could feel the vibrations of his voice on his chest.

"I dont dance but here I am, spinning you round and round in circles," I feel him sing as I pull off of his chest and he spins me then brings me back close.

"It ant my style, but i dont care, I'll do anything with you anywhere, yes you got me in the pulm of your hand girl, cuz I don't dance." He sing and pulls me off of his chest and kisses me. Not with full Passion but it's a sweet and gentle kiss.

"I love you, Ezra." I say as we pull apart

"I love you too. You want to back and sit down and finish eating?" He says

"No I want to stay here with you, in this moment forever."

"Well I that's exactly what I want!" he says pulling me close again and swaying back and fourth.
We keep dancing until Ezra goes up to DJ and request a song. But this was not just another song it was our song.

"You didn't?" I ask in disbelief

"I did." He said then he grabbed my and and waist then started to sway. He spins me but let's go of my hand. I bump in to a women and she falls off of the dance floor and on to the lowered platform where the speakers were.

I had seen the woman before. it's SHANA!

*REALITY*

I jerk awake in the hospital chair. I look around but I can't find Shana. she told me the she would wake me up if there was any news. WHERE IS SHE! WAS HE OK!! I walk over to the counter.

"Is Ezra Fitz out of surgery yet?" I ask the lady

"He's in recovery. Room B26."

"Thank you." I say and almost run up the stairs to his room. I walk in there and she Shona.

"You told me you would wake me up!" I say walking up to the bed.

"He's still asleep ." I here her say.

I bring my hand on his and put my fingers I between his and he wakes up.
