Am I Obsessed With You?

Author's POV:

Ezra has been with Aria for almost 4 hours now; The only thing that they did was ask questions about each other. Ezra groaned when Aria wanted to ask another question. "Another one?" Ezra asked. "Yes, but this is the last one. I promise." Ezra rolled his eyes, playfully. "Okay, go for it." Aria cleared her throat and began speaking again. "Alright, but you have to be completely honest." "I don't like where this is going, but okay." Aria looked into Ezra's eyes. "Why were you in juvie?" Ezra sighed. He looks at her and then grabs her hand as he looked back down at the ground. "I was stupid. I got drunk at a party, and I drove my best friend and I home. I didn't think I was that drunk, that was until we got into a car crash. My best friend was killed on impact." As he talked about the car accident, Aria's eyes welled with her own tears. Ezra looked at her and whipped away her tears. "I'm sorry, you told me to tell you the truth. I didn't mean to upset you." He put his hands on her face and pecked her on her lips softly. Aria glanced over at him. "How could you be so stupid?" She asked. Ezra was a bit shocked by her reaction, he expected her to be upset with him, not angry. "I don't know. I wasn't thinking. I completely regret my choice every day." "You took someone's life. How could you do something like that?" Ezra looked at his feet. "Believe me, I didn't mean to. I seriously hate myself for what I did. If I could relive that night, I wouldn't even gotten in that car." She glanced over at him, noticing that his eyes began to fill with tears. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to react like that. It's just.. my mom was killed by a drunk driver." Aria intertwined her hand with his. Ezra brushed her hair out of her face. "I didn't know." She forced a smile on her face. "There was no way you could've known." Ezra nodded and glimpsed up at her. "Are we done with questions now?" "Yes."

Two Weeks Later –

"Here, let me get that for you." Ezra grabbed Aria's books from her locker. Aria smiled at him. "Thanks, but I can carry my own books. I think my arm is getting somewhat better." She tried to grab her books from Ezra's hands with her good arm. Ezra flashed her a small smile. "I don't care how much you're feeling better; I'm holding your books." Aria giggled at him. "You're stubborn, you know that, right?" "It's what I'm good at." Ezra stood there, smiling as he took some of Aria's books from her good arm. He turns and sees Hardy handing out flyers. "Oh, you got to be kidding me." Ezra mumbled under his breathe. Hardy was handing out flyers to every person that walked by him. "You don't want to miss this; it's going to be the party of the year!" A few more people took flyers from his hand, "Yeah, go tell your friends!" Hardy spotted Ezra a few feet in front of him. "Shit." He muttered under his breathe, as he started to walk fast in the opposite direction. Ezra grabbed his shoulder before Hardy could walk away. He spun him around quickly. "Do you want me to get kicked out?" Ezra asked in a pissed off tone. "Your landlord isn't going to care, so chill man. You need this party, think of it as a Welcome Home present." "It's my apartment." Ezra exclaimed, trying to keep his cool. "Exactly! I'm welcoming you home to your apartment!" Ezra rolled his eyes at his best friend. "Hardy, come here." He leaned forward to whisper something in his ear. Hardy leaned in, so he could listen to what Ezra had to say. "YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" Ezra screamed. Hardy quickly pulled away. "Damn, dude." He mumbled. Aria stepped in between them before they started a fight. "Okay, listen." Aria started as she turned to face Ezra. "Maybe a party won't be so bad!" Aria turned to face Hardy. "And you, you're an idiot." Hardy raised an eyebrow and threw his arms into the air. "She does have a point, Ezra." Ezra smirked. "About you being an idiot?" Hardy rolled his eyes and sighed before he started again. "No. About the party being a good thing." Ezra shut his eyes and pondered for a moment. "Fine, but if you get me kicked out, it's your fault, not mine." "Alright, now if you'll excuse me, I have to give this flyer to that gorgeous girl over there." Hardy walked passed Aria and Ezra quickly.
