When I look at you

Chapter 2: first name basis

ARIAS POV:
As I look into his eyes I become hypnotized. Suddenly I hear laughter then I snap out of it. It was a happy couple walking down the street. I look in to see sam sitting at the window seat with this girl. She's playing on her phone when he sees me. I look away and grab my purse from this guy 

"thank you" I say and quickly walk away. As I'm turning the corner I start seeing sam everywhere. Everywhere on posters and his face begins to replace every person walking past me. I suddenly hear foot steps behind me. I walk faster but someone grabs my arm. It was the guy I spilt coffee all over. I see his smile again and his beautiful eyes. He's so dreamy. He asked what my name was.

"aria, but I have to go im sorry."

"I'm ezra. I'll see you around aria"

"yeah sorry about the coffee" I say as I walk away.

he yells from down the street

"it's fine aria" I suddenly stop and feel my heart throbbing like its about to come out of my chest. I lean against the wall and think about who I just saw and who I just met. It's crazy how fast sam has moved on but I haven't.

EZRAS POV:
who is this girl was my first thoughts. She's beautiful. I can't get my mind off of her. I need to know more about her. I ran back as fast as I could to find her gone. I wonder if I'll ever see her again. I don't know something about her just seemed.. seemed oh I don't know. Maybe I'm in over my head. She's got to have a boyfriend. She's beyond perfect not to. Maybe I should stop thinking about her. But I can't. I just met this girl why am I thinking so much about her? Snap yourself out of it ezra you just ended things with jackie after she walked away from you at the alter. Stop. You'll never find love again man she was your everything. Just stop. As I walked to my car back towards the coffee shop I saw the guy aria saw in the window walk out. Who was he? I unlocked my car and sat there for a minute still thinking about her hazel eyes and that beautiful smile. I turned on the car and pulled off. I started to head towards my apartment. I got out locked up the car and walked up the stairs. I unlocked my door & thought to myself I'm starting anew teaching job in 3 weeks and I need to worry about myself right now not a girl I just met. I sat on the couch poured a shot of whiskey and kept thinking about aria. Her warm touch her sweet innocent voice. I put in a movie called Chinatown jackie hated it and I hated her so I decided to watch it. Shortly after it started I fell asleep.

ARIAS POV:
as I'm heading home all I think about is sam and that girl. All I think about is sam being happy again but I'm not. I don't think I'll ever be ok again. I finally get home and I run upstairs. My mom and dad try to speak but I was so fast they couldn't get a word out. I ran to my room buried myself under the blankets and found myself right back at where I was 8 months ago. Crying myself to sleep but why? Why was I letting him hold this over me. I don't know. I just know I need to leave again. But disappearing doesn't help. I fell asleep eventually. I woke up at 8 in the morning but I didn't have a nightmare? I had a dream a dream where I was happy. It was a dream about the guy at the coffee shop I forgot his name. Evan, kyle, Edward I don't know something. Suddenly the name came to mind ezra. When I went to the bathroom I looked in the mirror to see myself smiling. I thought this is weird what's happening? Why did it seem so weird for me to smile? Maybe because a guy ripped my heart out and threw it away. Eventually the pain starts to ease but it's still there. I'm here to say I don't know if heartbreak ever ends. I don't know if the nightmares end. I don't know if the crying ends. I know for sure the heart hurts most of all. You let all your guards down for this guy who seems like Prince Charming but turns out to be the bad guy. I don't believe in fairytales. I don't believe prince charming finds you and rescues' you from a castle. Sometimes he saves you from reality. But I don't believe in happy endings because I never have one. My dad always use to call me his princess but eventually your own dad hurts you to right? I hear someone at the door. *the bell rings* no one answers it rings two more times till I decide to throw on a shirt and sweats and open the door. I fly down the stairs just to open it for it to be someone standing there in a costume breathing heavily. You may find this weird but in rosewood around Halloween it's not. Then to find out the guy walks in my house and start yelling for help. He pulls off his mask for it to be mike. I laugh and punch him then run up the stairs to get dressed for the day. I yell for mike to let him know I'm leaving. I looked for some keys and found my moms pair. My mom and dad were out of town for a few days while he was on a business trip for Hollis and also some alone time for those love birds. I walk out of my house lock the door and I head down to the brew I get a quick cup of coffee to see a familiar face riding a bike it was ezra. He looked and saw me. He waved I smiled and waved back. Then hit a rock on the sidewalk and fell off and got cut up pretty bad. I see blood. I rush over to him.

EZRAS POV:
wow the girl I can't keep my mind off of shows up again the very next day wow. I see her running towards me I can't help but smile. I then feel sharp pains. I see blood but all i see is aria. She finally reaches me and freaks out seeing the blood. Her panicking is so cute. Ahh. She helps me up and takes some wet wipes from her purse and wipes my bloody leg and arm off. She said "here let me help you sit down somewhere" she helps me across the street into a seat inside the brew by the window. She then runs out and grabs my bike from across the street. She puts it outside the window where I could see and comes in and takes a seat next to me.
