So it's been like… 3 months since I last updated? My apologies. I wil try harder but I have no idea what I want to happen next. You guys all want them to be happy and stuff but we need a little drama! Anyway, I'm going to see how I go on this one. I also had an idea for another story I might right but who knows about that. Sorry it's short and it's not proofed and stuff but I wanted to get this up. Anyway, here is to chapter 11!

Previously on Princess and the Geek

And after reading that single text message I realised what the man at the front desk meant earlier and why I wrote down my last name as Fitz.

You check into the lost woods because you don't want to be found. And maybe I don't want to be found. But Ezra has found me. And I may have found him too. Forever.

Chapter 11

EZRA'S POV

It's been nearly a week and I haven't heard from Aria. Is she okay? Where is she? I assume her parents have heard from her or they would of filed a missing persons by now. I'm trying to give her space but she does know we're in this together right?

She's trying to avoid me or she would of contacted me by now.

She hates me for getting her pregnant.

She hates me.

ARIA'S POV

It's been a week now. One week since I 'ran away' from home. I called my mum the day after I got here telling her what had happened. She'd offered to come and stay with me but I told her not to worry. I needed the time by myself. Plus, if she came, then there would be a 90% chance my father would come after her, and then things would get really messy. She had come once though, to give me some clean clothes and essentials that I needed.

I wonder how Ezra's doing. I know he's been trying his best to give me space and I respect that. But I don't think I need space anymore. I think it might be my time to go home.

Suddenly, my phone lit up, interrupting my thoughts.

Aria, I've been trying to give you space but now I'm starting to get worried. At least reply to this telling me you're okay. Please don't hate me. - Ezra.

That text helped me make up my mind. Before I went returned home, I needed to talk to Ezra.

Ezra, I'm fine. Would you mind meeting me at the Old Town Diner at about 4pm? It's on the highway near a petrol station. We need to talk. – Aria.

The Old Town Diner was a little place that I'd passed on my way here a week ago and I've been back once or twice to get a good meal. It was the perfect place to meet Ezra. It was about half way between the Lost Woods and Rosewood and if I desperately need to, I could always come back here if something didn't go right. That is, if I decided I wanted to hide again.

I looked at the clock beside me; it was now 2:30pm. That gave me an hour and a half to get myself ready to meet Ezra. To decide what I was going to tell him.

I've had so much time to think over this past week, it wasn't so much a case of what I wanted to say to him but how to say it, and how he would react.

EZRA'S POV

It had been just over an hour since I had received Aria's text with her asking to meet me. I'd been driving for about 45 minutes now, and I was nearly there. I'd had time this past week to think about this whole situation and this long drive has helped me plan what I was going to say, or how I was going to say it.

Ten minutes later, I found myself pulling into the small car park of The Old Town Diner. As I got out of my car, I spotted a small brunette sitting by herself at one of the tables inside. That must be Aria.

I walked inside the 1950s inspired diner, walking along till I found Aria.

"Aria?"

"Ezra. You came." Smiling at her, I took my seat in the booth, sitting opposite her.

"Of course I did. What makes you think I wouldn't?"
"I don't know… I thought you might have chickened out at the last minute."

"I would never do that Aria."

We then just sat there for a few minutes. I examined her appearance. It was obvious that she had run herself done. She looked slightly pale and there seemed to be less care than usual taken into her appearance. I'm not make-up expert but she looked to be wearing little to no make-up. At least that meant she felt comfortable in her skin with me. Either that or she hadn't brought much make up with her. Whatever the reason, she looked beautiful none the less.

After a few moments of sitting there examining one another, We bother decided to speak up, startling each other.

"I missed you."

But it was what came out of Aria's mouth that startled me.

"I love you."

CLIFF HANGER! I know it's horrible and I know it's not proofed and probably changes between tenses but whatever. And I think I have an idea of what I want to happen. I'll try and update soon. xx
