Here is the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it. This chapter is shortly after school starts again because spring break is now over. A very important Ezria flashback is in this chapter. Ezria fans you should be happy that I am trying to include more Ezria in this story.
Rosie Cavanaughs POV
I woke up and remembered today was the last day of spring break because school started tomorrow. I looked at my alarm clock and realized I overslept and I'm missing church right now. I walked downstairs expecting no one to be home but my mom and JT were home. They were in the kitchen cooking which is weird because my brother can't cook anything. One time he put an easy mac cup in the microwave and forgot to put water in it so he almost caught the kitchen on fire.
"I didn't mean to oversleep and I'm sorry I missed church." I said
"Don't worry about it. Your dad went with Rochelle and Elizabeth." Spencer said
"Why didn't you and JT go?" I asked
"Your dad wanted to do a father/daughter day." Spencer said
"But he's leaving me out of it." I said
"Rosie, I'm sure your dad didn't mean to. You had dress rehearsal for the play last night and you went to bed late so your dad and I didn't went to wake you up." Spencer said
"I don't want to be missing father/daughter day." I said
"I'm sure JT wouldn't mind driving you so you can meet up with your dad and your sisters." Spencer said
"Mom, you know JT can't cook. Do you remember the easy mac mess up? We had to buy a brand new microwave when the one we had was still recently new." I asked
"It was one time Rosie and besides I'm helping mom with your cake." JT said
"Why am I getting a cake?" I asked
"The play is this week and you didn't work this hard not to get a celebration cake." Spencer said
"Technically I'm just an understudy so unless Katie Fitz can't do one of the 8 shows then the only time I will be on stage is for "Love Story" I said
"Well it's still an honor Rosie. I didn't get to play every game when I was in little league baseball and our parents didn't make this big of deal out of it." JT said
"Is everything ok with you and dad?" I asked
"We are fine Rosie but why would you think your dad and I are having issues?" Spencer asked
"Normally it's dad deciding to stay home from church and not you. Plus I overheard dad on the phone a few days ago and he said "Kissing someone else and Fighting". I said
"Your dad wasn't taking about us on the phone." Spencer said
"Then what was he talking about?" I asked
"I think your dad was talking to Jason but Rosie just ask your dad about it if you want to know." Spencer said
JT drove me to church. Church was now over but at least I was able to spend the rest of my day with my dad and my sisters. Outside of church I saw Ezra with Katie Fitz and Aria with Leo. They were talking and it seemed important. Then I saw my moms friend Aria and Ezra hugging and there even was a quick kiss.
Finally I saw my dad and my sisters walk out of church together.
"So the other day I over heard you on the phone. Mom thinks it was with Jason but what was it about?" I asked
"Rosie it was an adult conversation." Toby said
"Was it about those two?" I asked pointing to Aria and Ezra.
"If you must know Aria and Ezra kissed. From the looks of today it was more then just a one time thing between those two." Toby said
Ezria flashback - One Month Ago - General POV (Basically just to explain what is going on with Aria and Ezra.)
Ezra and Aria have been keeping a secret and soon people would start finding out. They have been having an affair with each other. Aria wasn't happy about what she was doing but lately Ezra seemed to be a much better guy then Jake. It started around the Christmas and New Years holiday season. Aria and Ezra were slowly starting to fall back in love with each other. Currently Ezra has been thinking about divorcing Maggie who had been guilty of having an affair several years prior. Ezra has been at Rosewood high after school almost every day because of play rehearsals that Katie was in. Aria helped out with the play in her spare time. Today was a rehearsal day and Katie went home early because she was feeling sick so Rosie would be filling in for today.
"Is Katie going to be ok?" Aria asked Ezra
"She will be fine. It's either the 24 hour flu bug or she just has really bad cramps." Ezra said
After the 2 hour play rehearsal was over Leo went to get something from his looker and say goodbye to Rosie. While he was gone Aria and Ezra started making out like old times. It lasted a minute to long and it was to late because Leo had seen it.
"Mom." Leo said really loud but not yelling.
"Leo, I'm so sorry. Please don't tell your dad." Aria said
The car ride home that day was awkward and silent. A few nights later when Aria wasn't home Leo told his dad what had happened. Leo didn't know that at the current time his mom was at Ezra's house and they were sleeping together because at the time no one else was home at the Fitz household. Aria got home the next morning and Jake was more then mad. Aria pulled it off as a one time thing and even admitted to sleeping with Ezra but Jake didn't want to hear anymore. Aria left and stayed at her parents house for two weeks. Aria was home now but her and Jake were barley talking and not sleeping in the same room.
End of flashback.
General - POV (A few days latter)
It was Thursday night and the play currently in progress for the night. Katie Fitz and Leo have been the starts of the show all week. Rosie had a few parts in the songs and she even had to give Katie a few lines when she had a forgetful night tonight. Katie's performance tonight was a little off. Katie sounded like she was getting sick and Rosie actually hopped it would be bad enough that she would have to go in her place.
Rosie got her wish because after the play on Thursday night Ezra had a quick talk with Leo, Rosie, and Katie. Katie was loosing her voice son she was communicating by writing on paper.
"I think we might need you Rosie to step in and take Katie's place for the reminder of the performances." Ezra said
"Yes, I would love to." Rosie said
"That's not fair dad. I just have a sore thought and I will be better by tomorrow night." Katie wrote
"Katie, I'm making you a doctors appointment for tomorrow morning but I still want Rosie to be Juliet tomorrow night. Katie you have been a great Juliet for the first 4 performances but I want Rosie to be Juliet in the last 4 performances." Ezra said
"What about the double on Saturday can I at least do either the afternoon or night one?" Katie wrote.
"No, you are done with Juliet and you need to give Rosie a chance. Rosie is doing a much better job with memorizing lines. I can't even tell you how many times she saved you tonight." Ezra said
"Maybe you should ask Leo what he thinks." Katie wrote
"Leo, do you think this is fair?" Ezra asked
"Yes." Leo said
Katie was clearly upset about this but there was nothing she could do.
Rosie Cavanaugh was the star of the show on Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. Her and Leo were best friends again and maybe one day they would even start dating again.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter because I did. I will try to update more often.
