Lost In Translation & Out Of The Woods (Sequel)

chapter 21

The party didn't dull down at all which gave Aria the perfect chance to sneak off. It seemed almost easy to just walk out the door and with the amount of bodies crowding in the small room nobody would be able to spot her leave. Well that is what she thought, as she closed the wooden door quite quickly outside stood Spencer raising a brow at the girls suspicious movements.

"You come for air?" Spencer asked as she leaned against the wall, a glass filling her hand.

"Ah, Um...No. I'm just...I'm going to be back soon." Aria nodded, already beginning to walk off.

"Aria-" Spencer shouted as she quickly followed behind not intent on giving up any time soon. "Where are you going? Like actually going, I'm guessing it's urgent for you to leave your own party."

Aria just sighed and turned on her heel to face Spencer. It was going to come out soon enough probably in a way which would make her look so much worse and time was beginning to pass by without her making her way to the mans apartment, he may think that she wasn't coming and just ignore the door if it did ring after time given hour.

"I'm going to see Ezra."

Surprised was an understatement for the look that Spencer placed on her face, she knew that the pair were not on good terms at all, she knew Aria was heartbroken by Ezra but she didn't know about the reason why.

"Why are you seeing him? Can't you see him some other time?"

Aria immediately shook her head, she had to see him now and get the whole of this other with. He seemed serious when he wanted to talk to her, anything could have happened to him and deep down she wanted to make sure that he was okay.

"Please just cover for me, I'll be back soon."

And with that Spencer agreed and Aria left for Ezra's apartment.

Standing outside of Apartment 3b filled Aria with a mix of emotions but uncertainty was the one shining through the most. Was this really the best idea there was? It wasn't, she turned on her heel and headed back downstairs but just as she did Ezra was walking up the stairs.

"Aria." She didn't notice him at first so just hearing his voice made her nearly jump half a mile.

"Sorry, I was just out. I thought I'd get something for us to eat, I don't know if you have already eaten I...It was a stupid idea. You look like you're leaving already?"

"Well...I'm not now so I'm hungry and I do believe you have something to say to me."

Aria and Ezra both ate in silence, they exchanged glances but the more Aria stayed her the more she never wanted to leave. Something about this apartment, about Ezra, about this exact moment just felt...right.

"I should probably tell you what was so urgent now."

Aria had forgot for a second that she was here for a reason, it just felt like old times. She felt slightly nostalgic.

"Yes, that would be a good idea."

Ezra shuffled in his seat turning on the couch to face Aria, he had no idea how to word what he needed to say or even what he wanted to say.

"Are you having my child?" Was all Ezra managed to get out, he just needed to know the truth. If it was true then, well he had no clue what was going to happen but he would do anything to win Aria back. Even if it was false he still wanted her, needed her.

"No."

The words hit Ezra too hard, maybe in the back of his mind he'd pictured them having a family together. Maybe he'd just believed in what this anonymous source just spat out too willingly.

"Well I should have known that, I'm sorry for-"

"I was." Aria interrupted. "I lost the baby. I found out the last time I was in hospital, I should have told you but your confession sort of put me off track."

Right now would be the perfect moment to leave, the pair were both shook up and had no idea what to say to each other. But Aria didn't. She moved closer to Ezra, placing his head on her chest and letting the man wrap his arms around her. He placed a kiss on the top of her head and suddenly realisation hit her. This was the clarification she needed, if what had happened was a disease then this was her medicine. She didn't need to kiss him nor did she need to break away from the man all she needed was him. She needed him to just be with her, his presence enough to make the pain of this all go away. No matter what happened, she knew that Ezra was her one true love, this just proved it.
