Battles and Love

It My Secret

Aria Pov

I walked out of the doctors office tears running down my face i was honestly shocked. I wasn't expecting to be told that my Melanoma cancer had returned and was worst this time. 

You might be wondering why I'm saying this time well let me tell you. When I was seven my parents found a mole on my back. They took me to the doctors straight away and soon after we were shocked to find out it was Melanoma Cancer stage two. Thankfully after two years of treatments the cancer was gone but now it was back and I knew the battle was far from over

Aria i heard a voice call I was completly zoned out and had forgotten my mum was next to me. "Aria you will be ok we will fight this ok" I looked at my mum and I nodded and showed her a small smile. "Mum it will be ok I will be" I hugged her tight but truth be told i was so scared i wish this wasn't happening to me. 

I walked next to my mum as we headed towards the car and i knew that i needed to tell my friends and that i didn't want Ezra to know. "Mum can you drop me at Spencer's the girls are there and i need to tell then" My mum just nodded in responce as we got in the car. I sat in the passenger seat with my belt on and was silent. I was thinking about how the girls would react I knew Spencer would be the calm one who held me tight while Hanna will freak out and Emily will be the protective one.

We drove in silence and it was less then five minutes later when we arrived at the Spencer's house i quickly looked at mum and hugged her while whispering "Mum i will be fine" My mum smiled and hugged me before replying " I hope so i love you Aria" 

I quickly got out of the car and ran to the front door as my mum drove away. Thankfully the door was open so i headed straight in and for Spenecer bedroom. I ran upstairs and saw then smiling and laughing that was when Hanna spotted me " Aria you made it" I smiled a fake smile as Spencer and Emily turned around. Spencer face full of concern she could tell something was wrong "Aria are you ok?" I looked at Spencer as the tears fell. "It's back" I cried as i spoke i knew they knew what i was talking about. Emily ran over and hugged me tight " I'm sorry Aria" I gave her a smile as Spencer and Hanna hugged me tight " We love you Aria" All three said this at the same time and it caused me to laugh. "Yeah i know and i only just found out" I spoke up and then Spencer asked the one question the girls wanted to know the answer too " Does Ezra know?" 

I looked at the girls : No Ezra doesn't and I'm not telling him. I will spend time with him before the chemo but i won't during it. He can't know that I'm sick" They were all surprised i could tell but Emily was the one to speak up " Aria he will just want to look after you" I knew that he would but also knew things would change " No i won't put him through this please don't tell him" All the girls could do was nod 

"Will you guys cover for me?" I knew as soon as i asked they knew why.  All three nodded as i ran down the stairs and out the front door. I started walking to Ezra's this gave me time to clear my head before i see him but thankfully he lived three blocks away from Spencer's house

I knew he wasn't expecting me today so would be surprised. I arrived at his apartment complex and walked up the stairs when I arrived at 3B i wiped my eyes before knocking on the door

I could hear the door opening and could see the surprised look on Ezra face " Aria i wasn't expecting you" Aria looked at Ezra making sure to stay strong. "Well i just needed you today" I walked towards Ezra hugging him tight he hugged back and held on.  I could see the look of concern on his face "Aria are you ok?" I smiled "Yeah i just needed time with my boyfriend today. I could see Ezra was still concerned as he grabbed my hand and walked us into his apartment but thankfully he brushed it off.

Ezra sat on the couch and i went and sat next to him before looking at him "Ezra you know that i love you right Promise you won't forget that" Ezra smiled even those he was still concerned " I love you too and i won't but where is this coming from?" I looked at Ezra and said the first thing i thought of " I just needed you to know how i feel about you" Ezra smiles at this before pulling me close and kissing me. This reminded me that he truly love me and that is the exact reason he can't find out that i'm sick.

It was a few hours later when i finally got up Ezra did the same and kissed me it the same thing we always did before i left his apartment but moments like these are even more important to me now " I love you Aria" I smiled and replied " I love you too" before kissing him and walking out the door of 3B.
