*Dusk Till Dawn*
~Madilyn Bailey~
Aria's P.O.V
I sat outside on the grass looking up at the starry night sky, playing with a leaf between my fingers. I began to sing out the second verse of a song I'd recently written.
"We were shut like a jacket so do your zip
We would roll down the rapids to find a wave that fits
Can you feel where the wind is? Can you feel it through?"
I pushed up from the hill and walked closer to the city while humming the rest of the song, only letting out a few more words.
"You'll never be alone...I'll be with you from Dusk till dawn...Baby I'm right here."
I wiped a tear that slipped down my face and crossed my arms over my chest as a slight breeze blew my hair away from my face. Footsteps sounding from behind me, I didn't even bother to turn around.
"If it's Dick. Go away, I'm not apologizing to that Katniss wanna be bitch, I'm not Barbie..Barbie is blonde. If it's Wally....I really don't wanna talk to you right now either." I huffed, tightening my arms around my waist.
"Well...We need to talk. What happened back there..." Wally sighed, stepping closer to me.
"I know what happened back there and I don't regret it at all, she's lucky I didn't zap her with lightning from across the room." I growled, "I've never liked her and she knows I haven't."
"That's not the point Ari..You haven't talked to me since what Justin did to us. You won't even look at me. Amelia is starting to see it, she thinks she loosing her parents, and we have another little one on the way." I felt his hand on my arm as he rested his head on my shoulder.
I looked back up at the sky trying hard to not let more tears escape down my face. I bit my lip as Wally's hand drifted from my arm to the center of my tummy.
"You didn't see what I saw in that dream..You didn't feel what I felt in that dream." I let out a soft sob while pulling away from him.
"Aria. I saw you in that accident with Ryan all over again. I had to go through the fear of loosing you, all over again." His voice cracked behind me and I forced myself to keep from turning around.
"I saw it to...I also saw how happy Artemis made you. A piece of my heart died when you kissed her, when you told her you loved her..I lost you when that happened and that is...it's one of my biggest fears and you know that." I wrapped my arms back around me and sobbed.
"Ari..."
Lexie's P.O.V.
I sat below the window and played with a locket around my neck that I had kept with a picture of me and Ryan inside of it. I glanced over at De who was helping Alyssa and Bella with playing a movie, I quietly got up and left the hideout. Walking outside I could see Wally and Aria so I quickly walked down the hill towards the city.
*****
My phone had gone off a few times in my back pocket during my journey from the hideout to the the familiar streets I walked years ago. My heart raced as I turned the most familiar corner and my eyes fell on where I had the most memories. I held tight to my locket as I walked up the old driveway and pushed the door opened, no one had touched this place since Ryan had been taken. My parents had never been able to get rid of it, and I wasn't so sure I would let them if they tried to. My hand traced the staircase railing as I walked up and bit back tears as my eyes flickered to the cracked door on the right.
"Oh ry..." I choked on words as tears filled my eyes and I pushed his door open. Everything still left where he left it, just covered in dust.
I plopped down beside his bed and rested my head against the dusty frame. Pulling out my phone to see messages from De.
