Hey everyone!

Thanks for the support on my first Chapter. This book is about my character Aria fro the book ZO2014 written by Codonaine. You shoukd all give it a read if you'd like to meet more characters mentioned in my book and obviously Aria. I hope you enjoy this book. The first three chapters are Pilots of Arias life before everything that will happen in the chapters after.

Over the last few days I have been staying with Casper. He has been very kind to me and we've become closer in this short amount of time. I was sitting in the living room, smoking a cigarette. Yes this is a terrible habit for a 17 year old but it's the only thing that's keeping me going during this shit time.

Casper walked in and smiled at me. "Hey Aria, did you sleep okay?" He asked me and I nodded at him as I exhaled some smoke.

"Yeah, how did you sleep?" I eventually asked him.

"Pretty good, thank you" he said and poured himself a cup of coffee. He sat down next to me and patted my head. I glared at him and he chuckled loudly. "You take everything so seriously" he said, still continuing to laugh at me. I playfully punched him in the arm, resulting in him spilling his coffee a little onto his jeans. I then began to laugh as his face was now making frustrated expressions.

We were both in fits of laughter now, I hadn't laughed this much in years. Being on my own for so long was, lonely and boring. I took a break from laughing and began to think deeply about the past few years.

"Hey, you just went somewhere. Where did you go?" He asked me as he looked at me staring into space.

"Oh, nowhere important" I say and put my cigarette out into the little glass ashtray.

He sighed as he watched me. He put his hand on my back and rubbed it a little. Usually I would anyone away that tried to be sympathetic towards me but instead...

I turnt towards him and kissed him. He paused as my lips touched his. He was probably thinking the same thing I was. "What the fuck is going on?" but that didn't stop him from putting his hand on my waist and kissing me back. He pulled me onto his lap as he dropped his coffee cup on the carpet. He didn't even think about it. Neither did I.

I hadn't kissed anyone in a long time. Clearly Capser hadn't either from the way he was acting. It was like he was hungry.

After a while, I looked at Casper who now had his arm around me. He kissed my forehead and smiled. "Well I havent made out with anyone for a long time" he laughed and I smacked him jokingly. "Shut up" I said and laughed. I lit another cigarette and carried on smiling. I was like a kid who just got a new toy at Christmas that they had wanted for such a long time. Corny, I know.

For a second I thought to myself, how old even is Casper?

"How old are you?" I asked him, he looked at me and chuckled a little. "I'm 21" he said. My smile dropped and I looked at him.

"I'm only just 17" I said as I looked at him.

"Well, that doesn't bother me, it's an apocalypse after all" he said and chuckled.

I laughed too, no where near as confidently as he did.

Thoughts kept running through my mind:

What if he's a creep? What if this is wrong? Maybe I'm just desperate? He kept looking at me and smiled, I just started at the wall wondering what could go wrong.....
