Lost In Translation & Out Of The Woods (Sequel)

chapter 24

Aria sat down on the floor, her back against the wall as Ezra sat at the opposite side of the room.
They had no way of getting out of here till the morning unless they settled their differences and the girls were able to see that they could move on from this, but at the moment that seemed impossible. They just sat in silence facing every possible wall so they didn't have to look at each other.

10:04pm
"Think, there must be a way out of here somehow." It was the first thing that Ezra had said all night, probably not what Aria wanted to hear but at least it broke the ice.
"There's not, you brought this place Ezra, you know there's no way out apart from those doors there which are safely locked."
"Well I'm going to have to punch the window open."
"Oh come on Ezra, you'd cut all your fist open and I highly doubt you will be able to smash it anyway." Ezra almost glared at Aria even though she was in the right.
"Well I don't want to stay here and talk about my feelings all night Aria."
There was a brief silence and Aria finally stood up tying her hair up and walked over to Ezra. She lay her hand on his chest and for those few seconds let the silence speak for itself.
"We don't have to do that - we can just pretend we've spoke, I'll text Hanna and they'll come and get us. We'll pretend everything is fine...I'll just say I apologised for...Caring too much and you apologised for giving me the cold shoulder all the time."
Ezra shrugged away from the girls touch pulling off his jacket and throwing it on the table behind him.
"Why do I have to be the one at fault? Why can't I be the one in the right and you be the one in the wrong?"
His voice was getting louder and louder and Aria's patience was beginning to slip away.
"Because we want them to at least believe it Ezra!" It was so strange how the pair had gone from being so in love to having stoop this low, this was not them but maybe they had to get this out their system to be able to move on.
"If you're going to lie to your friends Aria, you're going to tell them that I was in the right."
"Fine, fine of course. That makes perfect sense, I'll say how after everything you have put me through you have been the kindest man I have ever known and have never done anything to hurt me. I on the other hand am a crazed psychopath who doesn't understand anything about us."
It had now turned into a shouting match, the pair were so loud that people down the street were most likely able to hear them.
"Yes that's fine do that!"
Ezra pulled out his phone and in a quick motion Aria grabbed it and threw it to the ground, watching it shatter into lots of pieces. Ezra's face turned red with fury, Aria taking a slight step back.
"Why the hell did you do that?"
"Because I'm not having you tell my friends that!"
"What if there is an emergency and we're stuck in here now and need help?"
"Well I didn't think about that did I Ezra?"
