CHAPTER 161

  Aria took a deep breath and screamed her lungs out.

  When next she knew, his arms were around her.

  "What is it?! What's wrong Ria?" Bart asked.

  Confusion crossed her face.

  "Why are you here?" she sniffed.

  "Didn't really want to be alone tonight so I figured I'd hang out with Ethan."

  She couldn't deal with whatever was happening with CC and Troy right now on top of what had just happened with Aaron.

  "Hey, whatever it is-"

  She looked up at him, her eyes swimming in tears. That look meant something different to him now, cut him differently now. He just wanted it gone.

  "I fucked up Barry. I fucked up so bad,"she said, wrapping her arms around his waist.

  He knew the feeling. He was fucking up right now. Even knowing that holding her wasn't okay anymore, he just couldn't walk away. His arms tightened around her.

  "Tell me what happened," he said, feeling himself get sucked into the force that was Aria Maine.
