"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

I began walking up the stairs slowly allowing my thoughts to run wild while also preparing myself mentally to enter the room, a part of me was silently hoping that she had fallen asleep since I had been in the living room for quite some time. 


I pushed open the door to find her laying on the bed, the fact she didn’t look over to me letting me know that she was still upset about what had happened before. 


“Where is Aria?” I asked hoping to change the aura around us. 


“In her room,” she responded her tone revealing everything she was feeling. 


“Are you okay?” I asked stupidly moving over the bed as she continued to scroll through her phone. 


“I’m fine,” she replied, her words aiding my assumption letting me know she was still pissed at me. 


“I’m sorry,” I announced standing by the bed and she sighed looking over to me.
