P.s sorry for any mistakes.

Ezra's POV

I woke up the next morning with one of the worst hangover I have ever had, my head was pounding and I couldn't move a muscle, not because of the hangover because someone was lying in bed with me and was snuggled close to my side. I couldn't remember a thing from last night, especially whoever this was lying next to me. I really wish I hadn't of drank so much last night but it was the only way I could get through the pain of loosing the only thing I had left. I decided I couldn't put it off any longer and decided to open my eyes, ready to have an awkward encounter with whoever I had spent the night with. Upon seeing her lying there I had to close my eyes, open them again and wipe them with my hand just to make sure I wasn't dreaming, that Aria really was back in my bed. I was overcome with joy but then my stomach plummeted. 'I'm her teacher again and I'm pretty sure we had sex, how did I let this happen?' I wondered to myself. Just then Aria stirred in her sleep and her eyes began to flutter open. She took a second to realize where she was then looked at me. I gave her a small weak smile and she quickly sat up, pulling the sheets against her and going red in the face.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, I've seen it before" I told her gently. She let out a small chuckle and loosened her grip on the sheet still holding it in place.

"soooo" she said dragging out the o's "What do we do now?" she asked me.

"Well..." I began then cleared my throat to try to get rid of the raspiness in my voice then continued."We have a few options, we can pretend this never happened and go back to moving on, or we could accept that this happened and move on" I had another option but I didn't know what she'd think to it. Once she didn't answer which one she preferred I gave her my third option "or we can accept that this happened and act on it, and maybe get back together?" I told her but she still stayed silent for a few moments thinking.

"which one do you prefer?" she asked. I knew which one I preferred but I wasn't sure she wanted to hear it or not, I wasn't sure if I should lie or not.

"Honest answer please, don't lie to me." she told me like she knew what I was thinking.

"I want you back" I said quietly. I couldn't lie to her she's had enough of that for a lifetime. "What do you want?" I asked her "honestly"

"I don't know. I mean I miss you, I do, and I love you, and last night was...amazing but it's not going to be easy and I don't want to get you in trouble. Plus everybody suspects we're up to something because they know we have history. We'd be risking a lot, YOU'D be risking a lot" she said almost rambling. She made valid points just like she had last night, we would be risking a lot, but wasn't it worth it for the person you love and who loves you back? "I'm not worth it" she said as she dipped her head.

"No... you're worth so much more" I told her honestly. Just then her lips attached to mine.

" so how do we do this? Do you want to do this?" she asked worried I'd changed my mind.

"Of course I do" I told her quickly putting her mind to rest. "Honestly I have no idea how we're suppose to be do this" I added and we leaned our heads together and I kissed her nose. "But we'll have to figure it out later, it's already 7.30" I told her motioning to the clock on the bedside table next to Aria.

"Crap" she exclaimed as she began getting dressed in a hurry as I did the same. "I gotta go" she told me once she was dressed and made her way to the door to collect her bag and keys.

"wait" I said catching her by the arm. "here, tonight, 6.30?" I asked her.

"Yeah sure" she replied and we kissed once more, I never wanted the kiss to end but unfortunately we were pressed for time. Class starts at 8 and I should already be there. Once Aria left I finished getting dressed and grabbed my bag and made the quick drive to Rosewood High.

Once there I made my way straight to my classroom. I glanced at my watch 8.07, I guess I wasn't too late for my first class, Aria's class. I wondered if she was already inside or if she would come in late or maybe if she's skip the class altogether . My thoughts were answered when I walked in and I saw her sat in the same seat as always, looking beautiful as ever. She had changed her clothing and her outfit was rather simple but suited her figure perfectly. I took a second to look at her and the rest of the class when I walked in before I began speaking. "Morning class, sorry I'm late my alarm was feeling unappreciated and decided to tell me by not going off this morning. Let's make a start shall we?" I said earning a few laughs from my students and caused Aria to smile at my lame and fake excuse, of course I couldn't tell them the real reason I was late.

Aria's POV

Class went by surprisingly quickly, possibly because Ezra was 10 minutes late but then again so was I, although by only a couple of minutes. When I walked into the classroom I noticed that Ezra wasn't there yet. As I walked in Spencer gave me a quizzical look as to why I was late and Hanna had a huge smile on her face, I ignored them both and went to my seat. "Where's Mr Fitz?" I asked Emily casually not letting on that I knew the reason behind his lateness.

"I don't know, why are you late?"

"car trouble" I simply said and began going through my notes from last lesson. A few minutes later Ezra walked in and began the lesson. I thought about staying behind after class but decided against it as I'd see him later anyway.

As soon as we were out of the classroom Hanna grabbed my arm and linked it with hers and whispered in my ear "so wanna tell me why both you and Fitzy were late?"

"He just told us his alarm didn't go off and I had car trouble this morning"

"Bull! Your car was here before me this morning and this outfit:" she said gesturing to my simple ensemble " is the one you have in your overnight bag so if it wasn't him who was it? Please don't tell me it was Jake" she said as we followed Emily and Spencer into our usual talking place, also known as the girls bathroom.

"What don't we want to be Jake?" Spencer asked locking the door. I looked at Hanna hoping she would drop it but she didn't, this was Hanna we were talking about.

"The guy she spent last night with. Notice the outfit, it's from her overnight bag" Hanna said and Spencer and Emily examined my outfit.

"Yeah it is" Spencer said whilst Emily just said my name with a big question mark hanging over the end of it.

"You didn't have car trouble this morning did you?" Emily asked

"Not exactly" I replied

"Where we're you last night?" Spencer asked

"It doesn't matter" I said as I made a B line for the door but Hanna stopped me

"I think it does, so who was it Fitzy or Jake"

Emily and Spencer gasped "What makes you think it's Fitz?" Emily asked

"Think about it they were both late" Hanna said as if it was obvious

"Aria, you didn't did you? He's our teacher now" Spencer said and I stayed quiet whilst they all gave me a funny look.

"It wasn't like that, he, he needed me. He was upset, I just went to see if he was okay" I told them, they took a minute to decide if I was lying or not.

"why what happened?" Spencer asked

"He..i don't know if I should tell you" I told them I didn't want Ezra to get upset if I told them

"Why not?" Hanna asked.

"Aria, we won't tell anybody, you know that" Emily said and I was reluctant for a few moments.

"You promise?" I asked them to which they all replied "Promise" in unison

"He's lost Malcolm, Maggie lied, he's not his son" I told them receiving three shocked gasps at my statement.

"That's why he was so out of it the other day"Spencer said

"Poor Fitzy" Hanna contributed

"So what are you guys gonna do now? Emily asked me.

"we have no idea, we're gonna figure it out later "

"later!?" Spencer said shocked

"Yes, we can't exactly figure it out in the middle of class"

"Okay, okay, just be careful" Spencer said as the bell went and we all exited the bathroom. Spencer and I had the same lesson, History so we walked together.

"Let me know what happens later, I worry about you" she said to me as we walked down the hall.

"will do" I replied as we entered the classroom and I walked to my seat, Spencer went to sit in hers that was on the row behind but she stopped half way and looked at me. "Oh Aria, just to let you know, I'm rooting for you guys" she said as she took her seat as History began, in more ways than one.
