No Matter What; an Ezria Fanfiction(rough draft)

Chapter 1: Coming Home

Aria's P.O.V

I'm finally done with college! Four years of majoring in one subject. The one subject I was good at; writing. I went to college for becoming a doctor, but then I couldn't resist my true dream, to be a writer. At first I was scared to share with my class, but by the end I felt like I was leaving Rosewood all over again. I was done with that town and everyone in it, everyone except one person, Ezra. But I ruined that chance along time ago.

*Flashback*

Ezra was trying not to scream, “What the hell am I supposed to do? I've tried to say sorry. Your lips say its okay, but your eyes say I will never forgive you. I've tried to love you, but you just say, 'Ezra we've tried this, it didn't work' if I cant be with you, I cant be near you.” without ever thinking I screamed, “You shouldn't have written a book about one of my best friends! And even worse, you used me for information!” I stopped yelling, “How do you think I could ever forgive you. Ezra, I love you more than life, and I have forgave you for a lot of crap, but I don't think this can be one of them.” I started crying. “Come here.” he said in a calming voice. I managed to talk without choking on my tears, “I can't just come and cry to you every time something happens to me. You're right. I can't see you anymore.” He started crying, “Aria wait, we can work this out.” I walked up to him and kissed him, the most passionate kiss I had ever had, “Goodbye Mr. Fitz,” grabbed my purse, and walked out of apartment 3B knowing it was the last time I would ever be there, or see the owner. I drove home crying.

*End of Flashback*

I walked into my childhood home and was attacked by hugs. Mike and mom wouldn't let go until I heard my dad say, “Mike, Ella, let her be. She just got home.” I smiled at him and took all of my things upstairs. I didn't give him a hug because him and I both know it would end in awkwardness because him and I have never really gotten along, not since Ezra.

My room was exactly the way I left it. Even the smell was the same, cinnamon incense. I dropped all of my things and ran and jumped on my bed, I'm still to short to jump up there and hit my head. I started giggling, then I heard mike yell, “WATCH OUT!!!” I rolled over and he was about to do what I just did. So many memories came back when he landed. He and I would always do that any chance we got when we were younger. We both started laughing then I heard our mom laughing in the doorway. I looked at mike and we sent each other brain messages. I yelled, “GO!” We both jumped up and attacked mom, she was on the floor by the time we were done. Her face was red with laughter, she stat up on the floor and hugged mike and I both. She took a deep breath, “Man, Aria, I've missed you!” I smiled and dug my face into her chest breathing in the mommy smell.

I took a shower to escape the circus downstairs. My mom was calling what seemed like everyone in Rosewood. I wished that she would have waited until I was at least awake from driving home from New York. When I was in the shower I thought about what I always used to think about in the shower, A, friends, family, school, but most of all, Ezra. My mind went from I'm gonna miss college to family and friends, then to how we all escaped A and will never have to deal with him again, then to Ezra. How is he? Should I call him? Can I deal with another heartbreak? Has he moved on? Should I move on? I tried that, but Ezra is my soul mate, I couldn't just ignore him. I got out of the shower and my phone went off, it was Ezra. How did he get my number? I got a new one when I moved to New York. I didn't look at it. I got into my pajamas, flannel pants and I went to my shirt drawer and saw one of Ezra's T-shirts on the top. I went to the next shirt, it was Mike's that I stole when I was a freshmen, I was surprised it still fit.

I walked downstairs, the smell of vegan nachos filled my nose, I walked around the corner and I saw mom, dad, Mike, and the Girls. Spencer and Hanna were still kind of mad at me for leaving in the middle of the A war, but Emily ran up to me and hugged me. I hugged everyone in the room and we all sat down at the table and filled in the missing years. Everyone told me about what I missed in Rosewood. The girls told me all their new jobs, Spence was a lawyer in training, Hanna was working at Vogue, but through the computer, and Em was working at the Rosewood Country Club. Em was still going to college, she started a year later than everyone else. She invited me to the club on Wednesday to play get an application because I'm not working until the school year starts. I agreed and then told them my job; why I really came back to Rosewood, “I'm going to be an English teacher at Rosewood high!” I smiled. My parents and mike were happy for me, but the girls were acting excited but I could tell they weren't.
