Lost In Translation & Out Of The Woods (Sequel)

chapter 23

A week had passed and since their last meeting Aria and Ezra hadn't seen each other again, something just felt awkward as if they weren't actually meant to be together.
"So you still love him?" Hanna asked sitting on the edge of Aria's bed.
"I do...I always have."
"So what's the problem?"
"I don't know, I just...I feel as if there is so many things we haven't said. We've put up barriers and can't get rid of them."

Speaking to Hanna about it seemed to show Aria the true meaning of what had happened, she finally understood her feelings. She couldn't be with Ezra unless they spoke about everything that had gone on in their past and be able to start fresh again.

[Meet me at The Brew in half an hour. Emergency. -Em]

It was the first time that Aria had got out of bed all day and she needed to leave the house at some point. Maybe putting some effort in would make her feel a little bit better. Aria had enough time to have a quick wash and curl her hair. She picked out a dark black dress with a dark red ribbon wrapped around her waist, slipping a leather jacket over the top as the night was getting on.
Soon enough Aria was leaving the house heading down to the brew, it was completely empty when she walked in. It was strange, it was if people were told not to be here and there wasn't even any sight of Emily.
"Hello?" A voice called out and Aria instantly recognised it. Ezra.
"It's um, it's me, Aria."
Ezra walked down from the kitchen looking at Aria quite confused, Aria looked beautiful to him as always but seeing her just made him feel like his heart was breaking.
Before the pair could even say another word the key was turning in the door and Aria raced to the window to be greeted with the girls on the other side.
"You're not coming out until you two properly speak." Hanna smirked as they walked down the street.
