Lost In Translation & Out Of The Woods (Sequel)

chapter 19

[A baby only grows with time, but maybe not this one. You aren't the only one keeping secrets, how long can you hide a child? -A]

Just looking at the message that appeared on Ezra's phone made him freeze on the spot, the whole world around him coming to stand still. This couldn't be true, could it? Aria would never keep something like a child a secret but Ezra couldn't believe that. Aria was always good at locking herself and every problem she had away from the world and only telling people when the pain that came along with the secrets became critical. He had to speak to her.

On the opposite side of Rosewood Aria had tried her best to forget the voicemail that had been left on the previous evening. The idea that Ezra was still hurting made her slightly happy and it was horrible to say but it was true. She still couldn't move on and if Ezra had just easily carried on with his life it would have been much harder for her. The thought of Ezra wasn't allowed to be in her head at this moment, the girls had been setting up this party for weeks and at the moment they were decorating Spencer's cabin as best as they good. It wasn't modern to but it in a nice way but Hanna believed that she could make the best out of a bad situation. The thought of telling Ezra to come often ran through her mind yet she couldn't. She couldn't do the small talk that came with it no matter how badly she wanted to see him. Anyway, everybody in the town knew where the party was going to be held and if he hadn't even heard from somebody else then it was obvious that -A would update him on the situation. The thought that Ezra had been actually set on killing Aria from the first second they met made the girl feel sick to the core, this is partially one of the reasons why she hadn't told the rest of the girls. She knew that if she told everyone the truth then any contact with Ezra would be heavily frowned upon and of course Spencer knew about the baby.

It was getting later on in the evening and all girls had dolled their selves up. Aria was dressed in a white dress that she added a black belt to. The whole idea of dressing up she wasn't in the mood for but she had to make a effort for the girls, well she didn't need to. Hanna had spent the whole of the past half hour curling her hair saying 'don't worry it'll look great.' There was no need to hide how Aria was feeling from the girls but she had recently become distant to them, the idea of her moving away soon made her begin to detach herself from them.

The night went on and it wasn't as bad as the dark haired girl believed it was going to be, there were many familiar faces and they would all talk about how proud they are of Aria and how amazing they know she'll become. It was nice. It was getting warmer with the moving bodies and Aria decided to take a break and head outside for some fresh air. The coldness of the evening was refreshing and the girl couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Relief was a lovely feeling, something that would maybe now last...Maybe not.

As she looked into the distance a familiar car parked up with a familiar face inside.

"Ezra?"
