What did you guys think of the episode last night? OMG, it was epic! Sorry I haven't posted in ages, but I've lost ideas for this story. Please submit any ideas that you ever had in your review! This is for that sneak peek of Aria calling Ezra in 2x15; but what if Ezra actually picked up.

Aria POV:

"Yeah, I haven't been able to see him since he told my parents," I sighed, rubbing my eyes. I had been depressed ever since Ezra got punched. I've been under house arrest, and he hasn't been answering my calls. I never see him around town, and I'm starting to get worried.

"Where did you get punched?" Hanna asked, as we continued to walk down the hallway. "And by the way, what the heck are you wearing?" she demanded, gesturing to my comfortable and ugly outfit.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, first, Mike, yes, my own brother punched him in the mouth, and Ezra's lip bled. But, before you kill Mike, he told me that he saw the look on my dad's face, and thought that it would be better for him to do it than Byron. Let me tell you, my dad was PRETTY heated. He looked like he was about to throw Ezra off the roof of the house! And Ella, was surprisingly more calm, but she was still confused and angry…." I explained, out of breath.

I wiped the strands of hair out of my eyes sight as we turned a corner. "My god, it must've been intense…." She added.

"Oh, it was…. And that's why I need to borrow your phone. I just want to try and call him; see if he answers."

Hanna nodded quickly and sympathetically. "Yeah, I totally understand! I'll wait out here," she suggested, handing me her phone.

I smiled, gave her a quick hug and turned to walk out the corridor. I leaned against a post, as I dialed Ezra's number.

I got a few rings, and finally, I heard his beautiful voice. "Hello?"

His voice was a slur, probably from drinking so much scotch. I know that's what he did when he was stressed, or frustrated. He sounded tired, like he either just woke up or hadn't gotten any sleep, and he sounded nervous, like this would be the police or something.

"Ezra," I breathed, smiling, hopefully.

"Aria," he sighed.

I smiled. It felt so good to hear his voice again. "Hey. I'm using Hanna's phone because I'm afraid my dad is going to start going through my phone or my bills…" I started.

"Yeah, I understand," Ezra commented. "I was afraid this was the police or something."

I frowned. "You sound like you haven't gotten any sleep," I started.

"It's actually the opposite," he replied. "I've been sleeping all day, and drinking if I'm awake," he yawned.

"Please Ezra, don't, you're going to regret it," I said, trying to convince him to stop.

"Aria, please. Let's be real, it's not going to get any better. I'm done! My job is destroyed, my chances of getting another job are the very very slim, and I've ruined your life!" he yelled.

I could just picture him throwing his hands up in the air as he paced around his apartment. I knew him well enough that that's what he did during times like this. "Ezra, listen to me."

He became silent. Good. "Now, I want you to calm down, and sit down, because I know that you're walking around. Just sit."

I heard rustling, and I knew he was doing as told. "Ezra, you are the BEST think that has ever happened to me. And telling my parents was bound to happen anyway. It was needed. It was either we tell them or Jackie tell Byron and he would kill you."

"Oh, believe me, he's going to. He visited me yesterday, and he threatened me that if I made any contact with you," he began, making note of us talking on the phone, "met with you, or even saw you, he would tell the board of Hollis and he would get me fired. I'm surprised he hasn't done it already," he answered, confused.

I sighed. "Well, no I know why I feel like you fell off the face of the earth," I added.

"And for the record, you're the best thing that has ever happened to me too," he continued. I knew that he would be smiling on the other end of the line.

I started to tear up. "Ezra, I love you so much" I said, starting to tear up. "I hate not being able to see you."

"I love you too," I heard him reply. I smiled in relief.

"Listen, I'm going to fix this, I'm going to talk with my parents again, or maybe just my mom. I need to convince her that we need to be together. We're soul mates, and we need to get other to notice that. They need to see what we've been through to be together," I claimed.

Ezra chuckled. "Yeah, we have been through tons."

I nodded. "I love you, just know that. And I'll meet with you soon; I have a plan," I said.

"Okay," he sighed.

I knew it was time to get off the phone, because Hanna seemed impatient and we were already late for class. "I'm going to call again and check up on you later," I promised.

"I'll be waiting," he replied. I knew he was smiling, but I felt like there was a part of him that was hurt. I wanted to help so badly.

I brought the phone down from my ear and ran in down my cheek, as tears started to stream down from my hazel eyes.

Hanna came over, and I handed her the phone. "Thanks," I began.

Hanna smiled. "Don't mention it," she said, hugging me. "Well, now I need to distract you and make you laugh. So, tell me. Did your grandma pick out that outfit and made you wear it or what?" she asked.

I giggled, and began to explain my morning as we linked arms and strolled to the cafeteria.
