Your the One, You've Always Been

Chapter 7. I never stopped

Aria woke up the next morning. She smiled remembering yesterday with Ezra. She missed watching old movies with him a cuddling up and falling asleep, she missed the rainy days were they would drink coffee and read books together. she missed everything, she missed him.

She sat in bed and pulled out her phone, two missed calls from hanna and three text messages from Hanna.
and one missed call from Ezra.

"Oh crap." she thought aloud while reading the messages.

Hanna; Aria! Call me

Hanna; Aria it's important.

Hanna; ARIA I THINK CALEB IS CHEATING ON ME!

Me; what?!? I'm coming over right now.

Hanna texted back within 1 second.

Hanna; okay see you soon :(

Aria quickly dialed Ezra's number.

-2 rings before he picked up-

"Aria! hey." Ezra said in a happy tone

"Hey Ezra! is that ok if I come there later tonight? I've got some friend issues and Hanna needs me right now, Caleb problems." Aria said sadly.

"Oh yeah, I'll see you later." Ezra said reassuringly.

"Thanks for understanding! I'll be there later." Aria said before hanging up.

Aria hopped out of bed, it was 8:37 in the morning on a rainy Sunday morning. She threw on some jeans with a plain white shirt and slid on some cute polka-dot rain boots. She grabbed her coat and ran outside into the pouring rain to her car.

*knock knock*

Aria waiting for Hanna to answer the door.

Hanna finally answered, Aria could tell she had been crying, her eyes were red and puffy along with bags under eyes. She was in sweat pants and a t-shirt with a robe over her. She had a box of tissues in her hands and looked like she had just woken up. There was mascara under her eyes smeared and her hair was all tangled up like a rats nest. She looked miserable.

"Oh han, come here." Aria said hugging Hanna.

Hanna hugged her back and just cried in her arms.

After Hanna calmed down a bit they went inside and talked.

"So what exactly happened Hanna?" Aria asked confused.

"Well -A, -A sent me this." Hanna said holding back tears while showing Aria the message.

Hey Hanna! Having fun partying WITHOUT Caleb? Did you ever ask him why he couldn't come? I think I know why, he probably had other plans!
-A

There was also a picture attachment. Hanna showed Aria the picture, it was a picture of Caleb lip-locking with someone who was not Hanna. The girl was tall with long blonde hair that was curled into beach waves. She was tan and skinny, Aria didn't recognize her at all. She was beautiful and had a short little red dress on with big black heels. Aria felt jealousy role in, this girl was perfect.

"She's absolutely ugly!" Aria said lying.

"Oh save it Aria, look at her, she's perfect." Hanna said bursting into tears.

"Han, you need to talk to Caleb." Aria said trying to comfort her.

" I have nothing to say to thy two-timing son of a-" Hanna stopped herself. "Your right, but I'm not ready. okay?

"Of course, whenever your ready you do that." Aria said smiling.

Just as Aria got Caleb of Hanna's mind, Hanna AND Aria's phone buzzed.

"Is it-?" Hanna said nervously.

"Yep, it's -A." Aria said.

Oh looky here! Poor han, everyone is lying to her! Want to know a secret little miss Aria is hiding like Caleb? She's back with Ezra! And what about Jake, Aria? Don't worry I'll leave you and Ezra alone for a while, Aria. But, Ezra's keeping secrets too! Don't say I didn't warn you. Both of your boyfriends are being naughty, but which one is naughtier? Kisses,
-A

"Hanna, I'm sorry I didn't tell you we were still figuring it out, we aren't even like officially back together but-" Aria started.

"It's fine Aria, that doesn't matter at the moment. We have to find Caleb, and after you need to go to Ezra's and see what he's hiding." Hanna said worried.

"Han, what if -A made that all up, it could have been photo shop, or I don't know." Aria said trying to deny Ezra might be hiding something.

"Well, we'll never know unless we find out. You go to Ezra's, I'll find Caleb." Hanna said walking to the front door.

Aria knocked on apartment 3B scared to see if Ezra was hiding something.

"Oh hey Aria, come on in." He said kindly.

"Oh thanks. Ezra, I need I just get this out fast like a bandaid; -A is back and -A said if I don't break up with you he/she/it/bitch would ruin you! Expose us, send you to jail! I couldn't let that happen, and now -A is letting us be together. Well there more to the story and- it's just so much to take in." Aria said taking a deep breath.

Aria looked at Ezra, he looked shocked.

"Of course." Ezra said. " Of course -A is back, it all makes perfect sense! Wait but are you saying we can be together?" Ezra asked wide eyed.

"Yeah." Aria said looking down.

"I'm so stupid Aria, I should have noticed, don't worry I will protect you." He said wrapping his arms around her.

She cried into his arms and just let it all out.

"I'm sorry I broke up with you Ezra, I just didn't want to lose you, literally lose you." Aria said sobbing uncontrollably.

"Shh, Aria it's okay, I'm sorry I didn't notice! I should have, but now I know. And I will do whatever I can to make sure we catch this -A." Ezra said reassuringly.

"I'm so sorry." Aria kept saying.

"Aria, I don't ever want you to say your sorry again." Ezra said stroking her hair.

Aria went back to Hanna's house to see if she had talked to Caleb.

No one answered so she decided to give Hanna a call.

"Hey Aria, I'm at Caleb's right now, he's explaining stuff right now, turns out it- well it's a long story I'll explain later. But turns out Caleb isn't 'naughty'. tell me about Ezra later." Hanna said hanging up.

'oh crap she forgot about the "naughty" thing' she said to herself. That's when her buzzed.

Oh little miss Aria, what is Ezra hiding from you? You'll figure out soon, I'll make sure of that. kisses,
-A

"crap." was all she said.
