Battles and Love

Date Night

Aria Pov

After Mason told me what he did I went straight home. When I arrived there my parents and brother hugged me and refused to let go for quite some time and honestly I needed it.

After ten minutes of hugging I told then I was getting changed and going out for my last night of freedom before my new treatment had to begin. I was still trying to get my head around that one and truth was I was scared I knew I needed to be held by Ezra and I would feel better he would be helping me without knowing it.

I was glad it was Friday as it meant I could stay at Ezra's until late. I got changed into a denim dress before walking down the stairs and heading out.

As I walked to Ezra I was trying to get my head around how the treatment had already not worked and how I need a new one and the thought of that had me in tears I was scared that this was a battle I can't win sure it in the early stages but what if it gets worst.

When I arrived at the apartment complex I sent Ezra a text saying I was on my way when I spotted Mason waiting at front and walked over "Are you checking up on me?" When he heard me he turned around and laughed "No my ex wants to give me something back and she lives here that all but now you mention it how are you doing" I looked at Mason and just broke down he pulled me in his arms and held me "I'm so scared what if this doesn't work." He just held tightly "We are doing whatever we can Aria I promise you " Mason spoke softly smiling at me as I hugged him. I had no idea how long we had been talking or in my case crying when my phone went off it was a text from Ezra "You coming" I replied "On my way". I smiled at Mason before wiping my eyes so Ezra couldn't tell that I was crying I just hoped they weren't puffy "I will see you tomorrow Mason" He smiled and replied "Bye Aria"

I walked inside and to Ezra floor when I got there I could see him waiting outside the door for me and when he saw me coming he ran over to me and hugged me I held on tight not letting go I didn't want to I buried my head in his shoulder not wanting to speak in that moment I just wanted to be there with Ezra and he seemed to get that message.

It had been five minutes and he had pulled away grabbing my hand and leading me inside. When we got in he lifted me up and kissed me I kissed back with more passion then ever cause I knew this was the last time for a while I would feel well enough to do this. I wasn't even sure I would see Ezra during chemo just so he didn't get suss.

After a while we sat on the couch just looking at each other the moment was perfect when Ezra spoke up "I love you Aria and you can tell me anything". I knew at this point he knew something was up so I smiled " I know and I will if I ever need too." I kissed him to seal the deal

We spent the rest of the night cuddling and I even forgot about the bad news Mason told me until it suddenly came flooding back and reality hit. I knew I was about to cry so I stood up and ran into the bathroom before shutting the door and crying. Shortly after I heard Ezra come in he came and held me in his arms "I'm sorry I just wrapping my head around something" This was the closest I could tell him without telling the truth "Aria I'm here for you. Tell me and maybe I can help" I smiled at his reply "If you want to help me you can hold me and not let go" Ezra looked at me and nodded his face full of concern but he didn't ask questions he just lifted me up and carried me to the couch before sitting me on his knee and holding me. I felt a bit better as he did this but I knew tomorrow for me everything would change
