"It's you" She announced softly

"So I did do something?" I asked thinking back, trying to figure out what exactly.

"You're doing everything right" She confessed leaving realization to stand in my mind.

"And that scares you?" I asked but it sounded more like a statement, nonetheless, she still gave me a small nod to confirm my words.

"What's your fear when it comes to us?" I asked softly.

"That you'll hurt me, lie, cheat, change" She replied her voice small and I could tell each word she said held a memory.

"I won't, and I know that's hard for you to believe because of past experiences but I'll prove it, we can move at whatever pace you want to,"

Riptide

“Jazzy,” Aria called out as I pulled over my full attention going to her. 


“Yes baby,” I answered, lifting my right hand turning on the ceiling light illuminating the dark car since the street lights didn’t offer much brightness. 


“Can I turn it off?” She asked referring to the air and I nodded watching as she leaned forward doing just that. 


I shifted in my seat grabbing my phone sending a quick text to her father letting him know that we were outside not really wanting to be on a call with the man, at this point in time I was merely tolerating him for Aria’s sake. 


I exited our chat going to Britt’s inbox a sigh leaving me when I realized she still hadn’t gotten a chance to see my text.
