A/N: Hey again! Here's chapter three. I don't really like the way it turned out, but it took me a while to write and I did my best haha. Please read and review and I'll try to update again soon! Thank you!

Ezra's POV

Ezra Fitz woke up the next morning to his alarm clock blaring in his ear. It was Sunday, which meant that he didn't have to go to work today, and that he was thankful for. He had decided late last night after hours of thinking and debating that today he was going to contact Aria. He just hoped that she had the same number that she had before. Even after all of these years, he had kept it. Even after promising that he would never text, call, or contact her in any way, he had kept it, and today would be the first day in six years that he would use it. He knew he would be taking a risk and breaking a promise, but he thought that after yesterday the circumstances had definitely changed. After seeing her yesterday, he figured out that she was still in love with him, and he couldn't just let this opportunity go.

He decided that it was too early to call, so he shut off his alarm clock and got ready to go for a jog. He strutted over to his closet and picked out a pair of stretchy black shorts, and one of his old white Hollis t-shits. He sleepily slid them on, and went downstairs to find his sneakers. He laced them up and tied them extra tightly because last time one of his laces came undone and he tripped and fell in front of everyone. He did not want a repeat of that, especially with everything that's going on in his mind right now. He was hoping that his jog would help calm his nerves. He opened the door and ran out onto the streets of New York City.

After a good thirty-minute jog, he returned home to his apartment. The clock read 8:20 AM. It was still too early to call Aria, so he decided to hop into the shower. He quickly undressed himself and walked into the shower, letting the warm water run over him. He always thought of showers as a place to relax and think, but he wasn't doing either of those things this time. His mind was too preoccupied with thinking of ways he would most likely screw up his last chance with Aria. He took a fifteen-minute shower, then got out and dried himself off with one of his plain, green towels, which he had brought with him from Rosewood. They reminded him of Aria whenever he used them because when she used to shower at his place, she would always wrap her hair up in one of them before she came out. Just thinking of these times made his heart ache.

He went into his room and over to his closet picking out a pair of black sweats. He nervously slid them on and looked over at the clock. It was 8:45. 8:45 was still too early to call, but he couldn't wait any longer. He picked up his phone, his fingers shaking, and scrolled down to her name. He clicked the call button, and waited eagerly for her to pick up.

Aria's POV

Aria Montgomery awoke suddenly to the shrill sound of her cell phone ringing. At first, she was annoyed that someone was calling her this early in the morning, but when she looked at the screen, she immediately recognized the number. Even though she had deleted it years before, she would always know who it belongs to. She honestly was not in the mood to talk to him, but thinking back to her conversation with Spencer yesterday, she decided to answer and give him a chance to apologize. She silently picked up, waiting nervously to hear his voice on the other end.

"Hello?" She said, her voice quivering slightly.

"Hi! Aria? It's Ezra. Look, I'm so sorry, about everything. Please hear me out. I just want to explain everything to you. Can we please meet up today?" He responded. She could hear the disparity and sorrow in his voice.

"Uhh, yeah sure, but only because I just want to know why you did what you did. Don't think this means anything, because it doesn't."

"I know, I know. What time works for you?"

"How about in an hour?"

"In an hour is fine. Do you know where that small breakfast place on 7th street is?"

"Yeah, it's right around the corner from where I live."

"Want to meet there at around ten?"

"Sure, sounds good."

"I can't wait to see you, Aria. I really can't.

"You too, Ezra. See you soon."

"Yeah, see you."

She clicked the end button and threw her phone across her room. What was she thinking? Why would she agree to this? As soon as she hears his apology she is going to forgive him, and she can't just forgive him right away. She has to make him earn it, but she just doesn't know how. For now, she decided that she's just going to have to promise herself that she won't rush into things, and that if his apology is good, they will still only just be friends after breakfast this morning, nothing more.

After silently promising herself that, she dragged herself out of bed, and into the shower. She took her favorite smelling body wash, and rubbed it all over herself, hoping to smell good for Ezra. She rinsed her hair with her shampoo that she used everyday, and then hopped out into the bathroom. She took one of her towels and quickly dried herself off, knowing that she didn't have a lot of time. Once she reached her room, she threw her towel down and went over to closet trying to pick out something nice to wear. She wanted something that was simple, but not too simple. She found the perfect thing, the dress that Hannah bought her a couple of weeks ago. It wasn't super fancy and it wasn't too plain. It was light pink, with a black belt around the center. It was perfect. She slid it on and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled happily at her appearance and picked up her hair drier. She had twenty-five minutes left until she had to leave. She had to be quick. She dried her hair and let it fall down naturally over her shoulders. While picking up her eyeliner, she realized that the tag was still on her dress. Thank God she had found it before she left. That would have been the perfect way to embarrass herself right in front of Ezra. She lightly applied her eyeliner and put on some mascara before sliding on her designer flip-flops. She ran down the stairs and wrote a quick note explaining to Spencer where she would be. Then she opened the door and let the fresh morning air hit her face. She began walking towards the restaurant with a smile on her face, hoping that everything would go the way she planned with Ezra.

Ezra's POV

After hanging up his phone, Ezra put on a pair of light jeans and a black v-neck. Within fifteen minutes, he was ready to go. He knew Aria wouldn't be there this early, but he couldn't wait any longer. He stepped out of his apartment, locked the door, and slowly made his way towards the restaurant him and Aria were meeting at.

The streets were flooded with people, just like every other morning. It took him twenty minutes to get to the place, and he still had about twenty-five minutes to spare. He found them a table in the corner where not a lot of people would go, and began planning out his explanation. He himself wasn't even positive of what happened that night. He knew it would be next to impossible explaining it to Aria, but he had to. And he had to make it good enough that she would forgive him.

He didn't even realize that he had been sitting there for about twenty minutes until he saw Aria walk in. She looked as beautiful as ever. Her hair was curled and laid on her shoulders just the way it always had. She saw him immediately and made her way over to the table he had picked out. "Aria!" I said with a smile. "Have a seat."

"Hi, Ezra." She said smiling back at him. "Did you order yet?"

"No, I was waiting for you, but I'll call over a waiter." He stood up slightly and waved his hand motioning for one of the waiters around the corner to come over.

"Hello, I'm Brad and I will be serving you this morning. Are you two ready to order?" The waiter said nicely.

"Yeah, I'll just take a stack of buttermilk pancakes." Ezra said quickly, then motioning for Aria to order.

"I'll have that, also!" Aria replied handing the waiter her menu.

"Okay, thank you. It should be ready soon." The waiter said, and then walked off.

"So Ezra, I'm waiting." She said in an annoyed tone. It was obvious to him that she was trying to act like she didn't have feelings for him, but he let it go.

"Look." He replied. I don't even remember exactly what happened that night, and it's going to be hard to explain it to you, but I'm going to try. I'm deeply sorry about it, Aria, and I'm sure about that part.

"Alright, well go for it." She said waiting eagerly for his explanation.

"Okay. I was drunk, Aria. I didn't do it because I wanted to. I didn't know what I was doing at all. I don't even remember any of it until the morning. All I remember is that on the last night of the field trip, when my group went to dinner, I sat down to eat and ordered a drink. Then Mona spilled something on me and I had to go to the bathroom to wipe it off. I remember coming back out finishing my drink, and then ordering. The rest of the night is a blur, Aria. It was a drunken mistake, and I promise that it will never happen again. I regret it so much, and I haven't drunk since. That's how much I miss you. Please, Aria, you have to believe me. I love you and always have. I will never drink again to ensure that I never cheat again. I just want you back." He said, his eyes threatening to spill out tears anytime.

FLASHBACK (WHAT REALLY HAPPENED)

Mona Vanderwaal woke up in the morning with butterflies in her stomach. Today was the day that what she's been planning for so long will finally happen. The whole day went by slowly for her because she knew that tonight would be a night she would never forget. They went sight seeing and saw everything that there was to see in Boston, Massachusetts. To her, it was a very boring city, especially because there were barely any good shops. When it was finally time to go out to dinner, she went back to the hotel and got her purse, which concealed the drug, Roofies.

Her plan was, while Mr. Fitz was in the bathroom, to secretly poor the drug into his drink, so that he wouldn't remember anything the next morning. She was going to bring him back to her hotel room and have sex with him. In her eyes, he was just too hot to not have sex with, and this would be her last chance.

She got into the car that was taking her group, which consisted of her, Mr. Fitz, two boys from her English class, and two girls from her English class that she had never talked to before in her life, to the restaurant, and held tight onto her purse. When they got there, they found a table in the back corner and sat down. She waited silently for them to order drinks and when they finally did, she "accidentally" spilled some of hers onto Mr. Fitz's lap, causing him to go clean himself off the bathroom. While he was gone, she secretly spilled the white powder drug into his drink while none of the others were looking. He came back and ordered his meal. During the duration of the meal, he finished his drink and Mona immediately noticed the effect of the Roofies.

They got into the car, and this time, Mona decided to sit next to Mr. Fitz. The ride was short and when they got back, she made sure that everyone got out before her and Mr. Fitz did. Once everyone had finally left, she grabbed Mr. Fitz and started coming onto him. She led him to his room, and quickly shut and locked the door. The whole point of her plan was finally taking place. Her and Mr. Fitz started hooking up and before she knew it, they were on her bed having sex. Her wish was coming true. She accomplished what she wanted and went to sleep, cuddling with him the whole night.

In the morning, he woke up as confused as ever. "Mona!" He shouted. "What the hell? What are you doing here?"

"Whoa there, Mr. Fitz. I'm just as confused as you are! I guess we were both drunk last night." She replied sneakily.

"I'm so sorry, you have to leave! I have a girlfriend." He yelled back at her. "Leave now, and we never speak of this again, okay?" Before she had time to respond, she heard a knock at the door. "Be quiet!" He whispered.

"Ezra, it's me! I know you're in there! Wake up sleepy head." Aria said while knocking on the door again.

"Why does she call you Ezra? Oh, who cares actually, I'll go answer it!" Mona said, jumping off of the bed.

"NO! Mona stop!" He screamed, but it was too late. She already had opened the door. He came running after Mona, but Aria had already seen enough.

"What the hell, Ezra? Did you sleep with her? WERE OVER! Don't ever contact me again. I trusted you, I truly did, and you just go and do this? Stay out of my life forever!" She screamed, tears pouring down her face.

"No, wait!" He said, but it was already too late. She had already sprinted out the door into the halls of the hotel.

FLASHBACK OVER

"That's a very vague explanation, Ezra. It's really hard to believe."

"I know, but please, you have to. Can we try and be friends? Just start off as friends who hang out a lot? Please, Aria." He said, looking up into her gorgeous green eyes.

A/N: Also, for those of you who don't know what Roofies is, it is a drug that can be slipped into drinks and it makes the person act drunk and not remember anything that happens in the next 24 hours, so that when they wake up, they will have no memory of the night before. Thank you for reading, review please!
