Pretty Little Liars Next Generation - From the Beginning

Ezria memories

Aria's POV

*Wednesday June 21st*

I was working a shift at the Brew. I actually enjoyed working with Ezra because I don't think we would have been able to work things out as friends if I didn't have the job. Jason drove me to work this morning because my car had a flat tire.

"I know it's probably none of my business but I just have to ask; Are you and Jason dating?" Ezra asked

"Your right it is none of your business but no Jason and I are not dating." I said

"If you and Jason are not dating then why did he drive you to work this morning?" Ezra asked

"I had a flat tire and I live in Jason's guesthouse so he offered me a ride." I said

"I thought you lived with Spencer and Toby?" Ezra asked

"I did but I moved out the end of April." I said

"Aria, may I ask you why?" Ezra asked

"I just wanted to feel a little more independent plus I wanted Spencer and Toby to have more space." I said

"I can see how living in Jason's guest house makes you feel more independent then living with Spencer and Toby did." Ezra said

"I'm not paying Jason rent because if I did I would go broke but I am paying for my own groceries and my share of the monthly gas, electric, and water bills." I said

"Aria, answer me honestly. Are you earning enough money from this job to pay for all that?" Ezra asked

"Not exactly because some weeks I have to take some money out of my savings account and I don't always get to put it back once I get my paycheck." I asked

"I have a proposal for you Aria. How would you like to be my assistant manager?" Ezra asked

"Are you serious Ezra?" I asked

"Yes, It would be a full time job so it would require more hours then what you are working now but the pay would be considerably higher."  Ezra asked

"Can I think about it Ezra before I make the decision to take the promotion or not?" I asked

"Sure, take all the time you need to decide Aria." Ezra said

Jason picked me up when my shift was over. He drove to my moms apartment so I could pick up Jayde.

"I would have picked Jayde up for you but I know you are still hiding her from Ezra." Jason said

"How was Jayde?" I asked my mom

"Great like always but she is really close to turning 2 so for the next year things may not be this easy." My mom said

"Can I talk to you about something?" I asked my mom

"Sure, what's on your mind?" My mom asked

"Ezra offered me a promotion to full time and to be his assistant manager." I said

"That's great Aria. It sounds like this job at the Brew is working out for you." My mom said

"I told Ezra I would think about it." I said

"What is there to think about?  It's more pay Aria so I say go for it." My mom asked

"My only concern is that I would need someone to watch Jayde more. That's fine for now because you don't have to teach at Rosewood High because it's summer vacation. Once September is here what if I don't have enough money saved up to pay for daycare?" I asked
