So first off, I want to thank everyone who has been reading and reviewing this story. But this is the last chapter, it has taken awhile for it to end, and I must say I had a hand in it. Two people wrote this last chapter, I just hope it's not as bad...
Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with pretty little liars/
Aria's POV:
I woken up this morning realizing that today was my last day in Rosewood. I stayed in bed for five more minutes not wanting to leave the comfort it was providing me. As thought after thought raced through my mind... I started to feel a little overwhelmed. Thinking what's going to happen when I leave? Will I lose contact with my uncle again? Or will I lose Ezra and the girls? Because a long distant relationship can be to hard for anyone to handle.
A sudden knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts, as I jumped up and off the bed and pulled out my photo-album to make it seem as if I was going through it."Come in" I called as I sat back down on the bed and turned to a random page. The door open and revealed it was the girls, they walk into room, "Come on Aria get out of bed you don't want to waste your last day here in bed do you? "Hanna said. As she pulls the photo-album out of my hands, I tried to pull it back but I flip off the bed and hit the wall. "Oh My GOD Aria are you ok? ",Spencer said as she help me up from the floor." YA, I'm fine"
"Good we got you this Printed Challis Strapless Dress as a goodbye gift" Emily said, "You all didn't have to get me anything just you guys being there when I leave is good enough to me."
"Not to us" they said unison,
"Ok go get the shower and when your done I am going to do your hair and makeup"Hanna said as she push me into the bathroom
Hanna's POV:
Once I heard the shower turn on I turned to face the Spencer and Emily, "So what's the plan again?"
"We are having a little surprise going home party and keep your voice down Aria might hear you" Spencer said.
"Oh YA, my bad so is it just me or do you guys feel like we are going to lose a sister?"
"Yes" Emily said as she pulls the photo-album into her lap," you know what? Aria looks just like mom."
Spencer and I walk over to see what she was talking about, "she right, she does look like a mom "Spencer said
The three of us started to skim through Aria's old pictures. There was also one of her and this boy back in Russia. "He's cute, do you think that's the boy that Aria broke up with? Just before she came here" I questioned Spencer and Emily.
They both shrugged "How would we know?" Spencer mumbled "She barely spoke up him."
"And for good reason" Aria said from behind us.
"I'm sorry Aria, but that was a really fast shower" Emily squealed.
"Its been 20 minutes." She stated and took the album "That's Costa, he was 19 in that picture." she explained. "We really didn't break up, he had gotten into an accident. The impact was so harsh that they couldn't revive him. He died on the spot" She started to cry "That's why I don't talk to him, I haven't even told Ezra. Every time I think about Costa's accident I think about my parents. So I just block that out. I was supposed to be in that car that night, but my grandparents told me to stay home. They had a bad feeling that night."
"Oh Aria, we're so sorry" I told him and embraced her in a hug.
"It's okay. I loved him, but never told him that. So I regretted it."
"IS that why you took forever to tell Ezra?" Spencer asked her.
She nodded "I didn't want to ruin anything we might have. But I feel it in my heart that we can last, even if it is long distances."
Spencer's face soften and so did Emily's when I looked over at them "Is that why you wanted to spend your last night locked up in this room? Because you were afraid?"
Aria shrugged a little "Maybe, but all I know is that Yes. I did fall hard for Ezra." She smiled with red dark blush creeping on her face.
Ezra's POV:
Tonight is Aria's last night so me and the boys had gotten the girls to go along with this miniature goodbye party. At first I just wanted to spend our last night together alone, but Spencer, Hanna and Emily con me into having a blow out party in her barn house.
Caleb and Noel went to get the drinks while, Toby and I stayed behind. So far we only had the chance to hung up streamers and balloons. Spencer also wanted us to hang up this big sign at least 2x5 banner that say's "Have a Safe flight Aria" on it. But we really hadn't had the time to do so and Spencer had already texted us saying Aria is all dolled up and looking 'HOT'. But to me Aria can be in sweat's and still look like an angel from heaven.
"Dude, are you done with those Balloons? Because if Spencer comes back and the banner isn't up. She'll have a cow" Toby exclaimed shaking his head.
I nodded and deflated the last balloon in my hand "Yeah, besides. I think 30 balloons are enough" I rolled my eyes.
"She has her standards set way to high. Besides, isn't Aria coming back for College?" He questioned me and I shook my shoulders.
"I really don't know. We've talked about it and said we would be meeting again in a few months. But it wasn't set in stone." I frown. "I just wished she could stay. I wished that Aria could live with her uncle and stay in Rosewood."
Toby looked over at me, when he was done hanging his end of the banner. "But love will conquer all and the two of you look really in love."
"We are, or at least I am." I sighed
"What? What do you mean?" He looked at me confused and I sat down on the couch.
"Well, I just have a feeling that Aria is going to go back home and forget all about me. What if she falls in love with another guy and never come back?" I have been thinking about that for a few weeks now.
Toby laughed and than shook his head "She loves you. Have you not seen how she looks at you? Aria thinks of you as her world, her life. You have nothing to worry about." He assured me.
I nodded with a smile on face "Yeah, your right. I am just playing myself out."
Aria's POV;
The girls had me in this simple dolled up dress that I couldn't even explain even if I had tried. It was a just above the knee red bold dress. With thin straps and a white rose at the top left shoulder. Hanna, had did my make up to match with black eye-liner and red lip-stick. Which I took off because this dress would look better with natural lips, so I ended up putting just a light colored lip gloss. She had also put me in six inch stilettoes, black ones that made me a few inches taller and if I was to line up side by side with Ezra. I would be up to his eyes, just lined up enough for his lips to touch mines without him bending out.
I sighed from the back seat of Spencer's car. Ezra had only text me a few times and that was just to tell me he was going to miss me. Why doesn't he want to see me tonight? Why isn't he calling me to ask me if I wanted to go out with him, instead of with the girls? Even though I have grew to love them over these past few months. All I really wanted to do was hang out with Ezra.
"Okay Aria" Emily turned to me and smiled
"What?" I looked at her curiously "What's going on?"
"We need you to put this on" Hanna tossed back a sleeping mask.
I picked it up off my lap and looked at the black mask with bright pink letters "Really?" I arched an eyebrow "Kiss me? Come on, where are we going?"
"You'll find out." Spencer laughed "soon, just put that on."
I rolled my eyes and shook my head, placing the mask over my eyes. "Happy?"
"Yes" they all chimed in.
For what seemed like for ever had finally ended when Spencer stopped the car and turned off the engine. I let out a breath and went to take off the mask but Emily slapped my hand away.
"It's hot." I grumbled. "Can I take it off?"
They laughed and I heard the doors open and close shut. Then my door opened and a hand touched mines. "Careful now" Hanna told me.
"I would if I could see." I joked with a smile "Come on guys where are we?"
"You'll see" Another voice.
"Who is that? Toby?"
"Yeah, it's me." He chuckled "And a few other people"
"Hush" Spencer exclaimed "Are you ready?"
"For what?" I questioned and felt lips touch mines. I pushed who ever that was away, only for it to happen again. Once we had deepen the kiss I knew on the spot whose lips where those. I smiled into it and felt Ezra, take off my mask.
"Surprise" He kissed me again and I opened my eyes.
"Oh my god" The room was filled with balloons and streamers. There was a table with varieties of food and drinks. There was a banner that had my name on it and a few pictures of me and the girls that we had taken over the passed few months. "Why?"
"Because, your like one of our sisters. We love you Aria" Spencer gave me a hug.
"And you?" I arched an eyebrow.
"You know I love you" He kissed me again.
Ezra's POV:
The night started off with a bang, Aria and the girls spend most of it together and I spent most my mine's together with the boys. But little did, everyone know. I had a few secrets up my sleeves, I plan on having Aria staying with me the night and I will meet up with her Uncle at the airport.
"Can I have my girl back," I asked playfully, wrapping an arm around her waist. "You know, seeing as it is her last night here."
Aria giggled, and pushed me away from them, "Thank you" She smiled, "I wanted to get away from that conversation all night, Hanna couldn't stop talking about clothes" She rolled her eyes.
"Well, than the pleasure is all mine's. Now," I smiled and grabbed our coats off the rack. "I have a surprise for you."
"What is it?"
"Just a little something," I opened up my car door and gestured for her to hop in. "Come on, please?" I pouted.
"Okay" He tickled my stomach and got in the car.
"So where are we going?"
I arched an eyebrow and chuckled, "Its for me to know, and for you to find out."
She laughed, "That's what I am trying to do, but you won't tell me."
I rolled my eyes, "Okay, you got me on that one." I sighed, "But I'm still not telling you."
Once I pulled up to my house, I got out and opened the door for Aria. She gave me a questionable look and I just shrugged it off. I wanted to show Aria, something that I have never showed anyone, not even Spencer and she's my best friend.
When I opened the front door and I closed it behind us, Aria turned around and crossed her arms over her chest. "Why'd you bring me here?"
"Well, "I scratched the back of my head "I have something for you, but it's upstairs." I held out my hand for her to took.
"Your not trying to seduce me now, are you?" She took my hand and stifled back a laugh when I froze. "I'm kidding."
I shook my head, "No, I would never pressure you into something were not ready for. But if you really want too, that can be arranged," I joked and lead her up to my room.
I let go of Aria's hand, when we walked into the room. I wanted this to be special and only for Aria to know, until we were ready.
I heard her take in a sharp breath and watched as she took a look at my book collection. "This is for you" I pulled out a long jewelry box, "I just wanted you to remember your trip here."
She gasped, "You didn't have to get me anything, Just being here with you is all I have ever wanted."
"Me too, but this is mostly something to remember me by," I opened up her hands and placed the box into her palm, "I hope you like it."
Aria let out a breath before opening the box. Inside contain a charm bracelet, it had charms from all the places that we visited, starting from the book store. I had to get some of the Charm's made because the store didn't carry them.
"I love it, can you put it on?"
I smiled and nodded, "Of course."
Aria's POV:
Ezra, held me close to his chest. Instead of going back to the party, I ended up changing into one of his sweat shirts and boxers shorts. I had called my uncle and told him that I was going to spend my last night with Ezra. He didn't seem to mind, but knew that he had a few questions about this.
Ezra, continued to rub circles on my lower back. As I drifted off to sleep, but than opened my eyes when our phones started to go off at once, "Sorry." Ezra mumbled and reached over to get our phones, that laid rested on his night stand. "It's Spencer,"
"Me too," I answered and looked up at Ezra, "What did she tell you?"
"That I better use a condom," He chuckled, "What about you?"
"That I better make sure you have one," I giggled and shook my head, handing Ezra back my phone so he could put it aside, "Why do people think that every time a couple is together alone, that their having sex?"
Ezra laughed, "Because they usually do."
I sighed and sat us a little, prompting myself up on an elbow, "And what do you think?"
"I want to have sex, but I mostly want it to be out of love." He stuttered.
"You mean you want to make love," I arched an eyebrow, "Cause that's what I want."
"So what are you saying?" He looked at me with wide eyes, "Because, I didn't bring you here to do that. We have all the time in the world." I dropped on my back, thinking that we don't. I could be like my ex, or my family members and get hit by a car.
"You never know, what life brings you. You should never take them for granted, "I mumbled, "I remember my mother telling me that."
"Do you want to make love?" Ezra, asked me with a bit of concern, "Are you even ready?"
I shrugged and looked at him, fumbling with his fingers. "I want it to be with someone I love and adore, And that's you." I smiled.
"I love you, too. "He bent over and kissed my lips "Are you sure about this," He looked at me and brushed a few straps of fallen hair out of my face.
"Are you?"
He nodded, "Yeah, I want my first time to be with you,"
"Make love to me, Ezra" I kissed his lips, forcing myself on top of him.
"Are you sure? Because we can never get this back?" He asked making sure that I was comfortable with this.
"More than anything,"
Ezra's POV:
I woke up the next morning with Aria, in my arms. It felt as this was it for us, like she was never coming back and I wasn't ever going to see her again.
Slowly but surely, I got off the bed. Aria still have at least a couple more hours before I had to wake her up. Walking into the kitchen, I smiled to myself thinking back to last nights events. Aria and I made love, and it was so full of passion and ecstasy. I never wanted it to end but, after an hour we stopped.
Finally, placing a night cup of hot cocoa on a plate with toast. I walked back into my bed room to see Aria just turning her head to look at me.
"Morning," I smiled and pecked her lips, "Want some?"
Aria giggled before taking a cup and inhaling the scent, "This smells so good,"
"Thanks, it took a lot of work. To boil water and rip a bag of cocoa," I joked "But the really hard part was, making toast. I hope I didn't burn it too much?"
She shook her head taking a bit into the buttery toast, "It's perfect."
We sat in silence for a few minutes, "What do you think will happen to us?" I asked her hoping to get the answer I really wanted to hear.
"What do you want me to say?" She asked me in a confused tone, "I can't tell you want you want to hear. Because I don't know myself."
I nodded, "Yeah you're right. I just hope we can meet up for college, I want you back in my life." I graced her cheek rubbing my thumb over her lips, "I love you, so much. You don't even know" I felt as if I was on the verge of tears.
"Please, don't. We both knew what the risks were coming into this relationship, Can't we just be happy we had that?" Aria, lean into my palm, "I love you too, so much."
"Thank you!"
"For what?"
I sucked in a breath and let it out, "For making love to me last night," I smiled, "It was amazing."
I looked Aria in the eyes as she stared back into mine's, "I never knew you were so wild." She joked, "But I would have to agree Mr. Fitz, it was amazing. I won't ever regret making love to you." Aria, lent over and kiss my lips. "Remember me?"
"Always," I smiled and brought her lips to attach mines once more.
Aria's POV:
Ezra and I made it to the airport, he had drove in silence and I knew this was killing him. Having to see me take off leaving this state to go back home. I thought about it too, never having the chance to see him again, but thinking about coming back for college.
My Uncle and Aunt told me they were going to meet me at the airport with my bags. Spencer, has called to tell me that she wanted to see me off. So I better not walk in just yet. She also told me that if she had to buy herself a fake ticket just to see me off, she was going to kick my ass.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked him finally having enough of this awkward silence.
"Last night," He smiled and took my hand, "About how amazing you were,"
"You were too for your first time," I joked "But still pleasant."
He looked at me before looking at the road again, "Thank you. How did it feel? Making love to a virgin."
I bit my lip, and smiled, "Everyone was a virgin at some point. I don't care if you were one or not. I was just excited that you gave it up to me."
He kissed my hand before pulling up to the curb of the airport, I saw my Aunt and Uncle there waving at us. I turned my head to look at Ezra, before opening my door. Spencer and the girls just pulled up behind us, and I waved at them. This was the moment that I hated, having to say goodbye to your family and friends, and most of all Ezra.
"Aria, I am going to miss you." Hanna, exclaimed first, make sure you write. Or better yet call."
"Yeah, because we all know that Hanna can't read!" Spencer, squealed jokingly. Causing Hanna to glare.
"I can read Prada, Coach, Michael Kors"
"Okay, we get it." Emily rolled her eyes, "She knows everything that comes from a store." Emily smiled, "I am going to miss you too, me-you can write or call which ever you prefer."
"Thank you and I will." I gave her a hug, and looked over at Spencer,
"I hate goodbyes," She cried, wiping her face as she pulled me into a hug. "I feel like I am losing a sister,"
"Me too, but I promise we'll meet again." I kissed her check. and we pulled away both wiping our eyes at the same time. At that point my Uncle walked up to me and pulled me in for a hug. He squeezed me so tight that I thought I was going to faint.
"I wish, I saw you at the beginning of this trip. I feel like, you should stay." He mumbled into my ear.
"I wish I could, but this program was only for a few months. I have to go back," I cried and squeezed him back before placing a kiss to his cheek and pulling away.
"You'll come back though right?" My aunt asked, "Because if you don't, I will personally drag you back here myself." She giggled right after saying those words, that really touched my heart. "Have a safe flight,"
"I will," we pulled apart from the hug and everyone backed away. At that point my heart and face sunk, I never wanted to have this feeling but yet it's there. "Come here you," I opened my arms and waited for Ezra to walk into them.
"I'm going to miss you so much," He brushed a few strands of my hair out of my face and I placed my hands on his waist, "There's not going to be a day that goes by, where I am not going to think about you. About your return, when you and I can finally be free and start our futures together" He stated and I was in complete awe,
"I love you, Ezra. Always, don't ever forget what we had." I smiled up at him before he placed his lips on mines. He kissed me with undeniable passion and I couldn't help my tangle my fingers into his hair. "Hmmm" I moaned when he pulled away with a smile, "I love you, too Aria."
The End:
Review if you want, sorry for mistakes and all.
