This has been in my mind all week, and now I have the chance to finally get the first couple of chapters written. I am working on the ending of my other story, so just give me a couple more days. It's been so busy lately and I really haven't found the time to sit in front of a computer and type. But today, was my lucky day. And since I had this new story of my mind and I couldn't get it out know matter what I do. I thought I would type this starter chapter first...
So please don't forget to review at the end. I need to get your input on this chapter. I don't care if you give me the most worst compliment in the world. Just as long as you Review...
It's been six years, since Ezra and I met. It's been four since we had gotten married and had the two most beautiful children. At the age of 16 I had fallen for the one and only Ezra Fitz, and from there we had our obstacles and trials about people telling us how wrong our relationship was. But know matter how many times we've broken up, we had always gotten back together by the end of the week.
This time it's different, when I was 17 I had gotten pregnant. At the age of 18, I was graduating with a child in the front row asleep in my husbands arms. Now at the age of 22, I do not know who that guy is anymore. I wake up and take care of my two children, before taking off and going to work.
Right after College I had gotten my dream job of becoming a teacher. I got my wish of becoming Mrs. Ezra Fitz and the mother of his children. But ever since we had moved for Ezra's dream job of one day becoming the head Dean of NYU everything changed.
I took a Job at a private school, while Ezra works at NYU and our oldest child attended day care. Our littlest one, was stuck at home with a sitter until I would get home at four.
Danielle Angel Fitz is now in kinder garden, while our son Eric Matthew Fitz, is the newest one in daycare.
"Honey have a good day." I kissed my daughter as she parted with me on her first day of school. "You'll make tons of friends" I smiled as I gave Danielle her backpack.
"Where's daddy?" My little angel asked as she looked behind me. "He did not come home last night" She pouted and let a tear she down her angelic face.
I wiped that tear away and bent down to her level. "Daddy, wanted to be here. He just had a few loose ends to answer too." I lied, the truth is. Ezra, was so busy with work and getting this new grant that he placed his family second.
Danielle sniffled a few more cry's before nodding her head. When I enrolled Daniel at my school, there was a test that each student had to take. It's more like a placement test, just to see what reading level would suit them best. Danielle, as far as I was told. Reached one of the highest in reading, and that did not shock me. I just nodded and sniffled a laugh or two. When they did her math placement she scored, a lower percentage, and I glared at that person. Thinking she is only five, words are the first thing you learn when you become a toddler.
"I love you mommy" Danielle told me with one last hug.
"I'll see you at three. And if you need me I am just in the other building. You just tell Mrs. Cullen to call me, okay?" My daughter looked behind me once more to see if her father would be running down that pathway leading to her classroom but he still was not there.
"Alright." Danielle told me before walking into the classroom.
I waited until the bell had rung before making a mad dash to my class. I teach third grade this year, and had my student's lined up in front of the door when I opened it. A sign of good faith to me, telling me that their ready for the day.
"Alright class" I announced when everyone found their seats. "Welcome to third year. I remember some of you from my second grade class, and for those of you who doesn't know me. I am Mrs. Fitz, today. I am going to get to know each and everyone of you." I sighed and brought out my class list. "When I call your name, I want you to stand and tell me a bit about yourself, and your parents. Okay?"
"Yes, Ma'am." My class announced.
As first recess rolled around, I went the front office to check my box's since I did nott have time in the early morning. There were a few messages, from other teacher's asking me to join them in their clubs. There were a few from my parents, telling me that they cannot wait to see me this weekend... I knitted my eyebrows, when I read, that note and dug in my pocket to notice that my phone was still off. I powered it on and waited for the thing to upload.
Once it dinged, I looked at it to see that I had two new voice messages. One from Ezra and my dad and a text message from my mother. I figured I would look at the text first.
"Is there anything Eric and Danielle want from rosewood? Let me know, I can't wait to see my grand babies... Kiss them for me." I giggled and listened to Ezra's voice mail. I groaned in frustration, when he told me that he wasn't making it for dinner tonight, that he had to pull an emergency faculty meeting.
I walked into the conference room and shut the door, I called Ezra and he didn't answer till the fifth ring.
"Honey, right now isn't the time."
I sighed "It never is. Do you know what today is? It's Danielle's first day of school" I yelled into the speaker "And you messed it, and now your not coming home for dinner, once again? What is wrong with you?"
Ezra swore under his breath "I'm sorry, I forgot."
"Ezra we had this conversation, many times' before. It's about time I do something about it."
"Aria, what are you talking about?" He sounded concern, but this is the only way I knew I would get his attention.
"I want a divorce." I cried.
"What? Aria, I missed one event-" He yelled.
"No" I cut him off "It's been two years, two years of me telling you, how unhappy I am. How unhappy your children are, but you have done nothing to show you've changed. This is the right thing to do."
"You can't do this, Aria." I could hear Ezra, shuffling papers and then something slammed.
"I have to go" I said and hung up the phone. I really don't know what I can do about Ezra. For the coarse of two years, when Ezra had gotten his dream job. Everything revolved around him, making sure he had gotten everything he wanted done. And now I am just tired of it. Your family should always come first, not the other way around.
As the day wined down, I had assigned no homework seeing as it's only the first day of school. I picked up Danielle from her class and she walked out with a full out grin. When we had gotten into the car, she started to tell me about her. About how she made two new friends and Mrs. Cullen's allowed them to have silent read after lunch. I smiled and drove over to the pizza parlor to pick up the pizza I ordered, and then went over to the day care to pick up my son. He squealed when he saw me and gave my leg a great big hug.
"How was your day?" I asked him, taking his bag and walking with him out the door.
"It was fun. We are going to have water day on Friday, can I join?" He asked with hopeful eyes.
"Sure, I don't see why not." I told him and opened up the car. Daniel and Eric both hopped into the back seat and fasten their seat belts.
Once I had gotten home, I closed my eyes and sat down on the couch while Danielle and Eric ran to their rooms and played. They both didn't feel like eating just yet, so this was my down time. I sat on the couch and turned on the TV to some kind of survivor man show. I started to flip through channel's when I heard the front door open and in walked Ezra.
I turned the TV off and walked upstairs into our bedroom, Ezra wasn't to far behind and he closed the door.
"Please don't do this Aria" Ezra begged "I'm sorry, I'll make everything work."
I turned around with tears in my eyes. "I had to lie to our daughter today Ezra, how do you think that made me feel?" Ezra took a few steps toward me and I backed away.
"What can I do to make this right? Just tell me Aria" He pleaded.
I shook my head "Leave me alone." I mumbled "I can't tell you, the same things over and over. You just don't listen. Why don't you talk to your daughter?" I pointed down the hall.
Ezra's POV:
After spending a few minutes pleading with Aria, she had finally pushed me out the door... When Aria, told me over the phone that she wanted a divorce. I immediately called everything off for the afternoon, I wanted to be home when Aria had gotten there. I wanted to make everything right, I just didn't know it would take a divorce threat to get my mind to register things.
As I walked down the hallway to our daughters room, I could hear her singing. So I knocked and opened the door. "Can I come in?" I smiled at Danielle with hopeful eyes.
"Where were you daddy? You didn't come home last night" Danielle, it doesn't matter how mad she is at you. She would still give you a warm hug, and that's something I needed right now.
"I'm sorry, but I did come home last night. I just left before everyone woke up." I pouted and picked up one of her dolls. "Are you mad at me for missing your first day of school?"
Danielle pouted and nodded her head. "I'm sorry, sweetie. I really wanted to be there."
"I know, mommy told me."
I nodded and looked at the door. "What else did mommy say?"
Danielle shrugged "That grandma Ella, was coming this weekend. And we might spend a little more time in Rosewood." Danielle smiled "I like Rosewood."
I knitted my eyebrows and held back my tears that were threatening to fall "Mommy, said that?"
"Yes, But she had to take care of a few things before we leave."
I nodded and frustrations ran through me. Aria, was really serious this time. "Time for dinner." I bitterly said, as I placed the doll back on the desk. "Now, Danielle."
"Are you eating with us this time?"
"Yes, I am. Now go wash your hands." I said walking out of the room and into the kitchen downstairs where Aria, was getting plates and cups.
"Your moving back to rosewood?" I hissed. "Are you really doing this? To us, to our family?" I yelled. Aria turned around and pressed her lips into a thin line. "You can't take my children away from me."
"You did this to yourself. I repeatedly told you what was happening, and you showed no effort into changing that. So all of a sudden I tell you I want a divorce and you think everything will go back to what we had? I can't lie to myself anymore. I can't tell myself that you'll be with your family for dinner. Or an anniversary, how about Eric's third birthday?" Aria cried "It's not like your here Anyways, so what's the difference if we go home to Rosewood?"
"So this is it? There's nothing we can do to make it work?" I cried and this time I let the tears fall.
"Mom, Dad" Danielle and Eric said in unison.
I turned around to see both our children with tears in their eyes, and knowing that I caused it. Just made me more upset with myself... After a few awkward seconds of silence, I took my son and placed him in his chair. I then pulled out a chair for Danielle and waited till she sat down. I looked up at Aria to see more tears falling from her face. I just shook my head and wiped my eyes before taking the plate from her hand and placing it in front of the kids. I took the pizza and placed two pieces in front of them.
"Let's eat dinner." I mumbled.
Aria, pushed in her chair and walked into the downstairs bathroom... She left me thinking this is really the end, but my heart knew that there is always something I could do to change Aria's mind. I just had too.
It seem's as if Aria, thought about this for a while. Do you think she is making the right Choice? Will Mr. hottie Fitz, make a come back and change his bad habit? Please review.
I hope to have the next chatper up by tuesday... Thank you
