ACT XII
He doesn't put her down as he she angrily hits him. She screams out "NO!" but as he carries her through the hall and she didn't wanna make a scene for everyone to hear. She closes her eyes and wishes he'd put her down.
He places her in his car and drives off.
They stop at an arts and craft store, he takes her inside with him as she groans. He gets some big canvas' and a big box of paints with like 100+ colors.
Aris: whats this for?
*she rolls her eyes*
astro: time to create, innit?
*she rolls her eyes as he purchases the items and they walk out the store, he puts the stuff in the backseat and gets in*
Aris: whats stopping me from leaving right now & telling everyone what y'all did?
astro: ...is that what you gon do? you should, lets call the police right now.
Aris: ...*she looks at him clueless* ...wait? what?
astro: it was wrong, i take responsibility. tell them it was me.
*he starts to type the number in his phone, she shakes her head touching his phone and moving it down in his lap*
Aris: just drive!
astro; oh? ... okayAs they drive
Aris: you didn't even do anything
astro: it was at my home, my peoples, my responsibility, i left you in an uncomfortable position, im sorry for that.
Aris: i wouldn't sell you out to protect your friends.........
astro: oh yea?
Aris: .........but im not talking to no police.
astro: oh?...hm
*a little smile creeps on his face, but he contains when she looks over*
astro: ....now what you really wan eat?
Aris: i promise, im not hungry*He rolls his eyes and stops to get ice cream for them. Aris decline's again before saying she wants one scoop, chocolate, one scoop strawberry and one scoop cotton candy. Astro keeps it simple getting vanilla with chocolate chips. He parks and tells her to follow. They hike up this little hill. Astro carries everything and the only thing Aris holds is there ice creams. He made her feed him some on the way up. He got her in a better mood, by joking around with her. She hits him playfully as he questions her lightly. Asking why she doesn't like cops & why she doesn't wanna go home. She doesn't say much, telling him whatever response he wants to hear. The real reasons were buried so deep, she saw no reason to confide in him now.
They get to the top, and can see the whole city from there.
Aris' eyes widen as its quiet up there, but you could hear the busy lit up town below. The full moon is out and is big in the sky. Shes feeling inspired.
She grabs the paint and starts to go in as astro watches finishing his ice cream. He takes the rest of Aris' chocolate since she didn't finish. She doesn't say anything and gets in her zone. Astro watched as shes in a trance going at the canvas.
Astro: do more
He hands her the other canvas. She paints more and he turns on his music. Her painting pattern starts to change as she vibes and listens to the songs. He likes to watch her, he looks infatuatedly as she focuses on her art, putting him in a trance. he could tell she makes what she feels. He likes that as he thinks of how he does the same with his music.
Astro: you should stay
Aris: what? *she snaps out of her painting* turning, looking at him confused*
astro: i want you to stay
Aris: why? you afraid ill tell? *she looks back at her painting, angrily slashing paint*
astro; i mean...tell if you like. if it help you. i say youll heal lots with me.
Aris: theres nothing to heal from, you think this is the first time?? *laughs, then goes quiet, sighing*
*she looks at her painting emotionlessly, theres a silence and he doesn't know what to say, so she laughs again*
astro: i can help you
Aris: help me *laughs* do what astro? what could you possibly help me do? *laughs*
astro: heal, make you forget....show you what else is out hea, ive done it before.
Aris: THEN FUCKIN HEAL ME, FUCKIN HEAL ME MOTHERFUCKER. DO IT. USE YOUR FUCKING MAGICAL POWERS OR SOME SHIT. i know you got them.

astro: let me put on some ting we can vibe too alrigh?he changes the song putting on a playlist of his upbeat party music. He takes her hand and they dance under the full moon for awhile, releasing they're energy unto each other. Aris starts to smile genuinely after a few songs and having a good time while dancing with him. She falls inlove with his song "City Of Lights." In her mind there transported to a new setting in a grassy area like a long football field and all the stadium lights are pointed at them.
Aris: where'd you find this spot?
astro: i...like to come up here and think..by my-His ringtone goes off, and he snaps out of talking to her and checks it. Its draya, he answers immediately and shes crying audibly through the phone. Aris can hear her and the phone wasn't even on speaker. he starts walking away.
Aris: are you fucking serious?
He turns around and puts his finger over his mouth and keeps walking down the hill.
