Arabella Z Volant

Before Paul could say anything I felt tears forming in my eyes. All that sadness and anger was surfacing up. I finally looked at him as he gave me a pity look.

I looked away. I hate pity.

I know it too well.

"Look Aria I- I couldn't tell you it was for your safety."

"M-MY SAFTEY W-WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME?!! WHEN I LEFT OR WHEN I FINALLY MOVED ON? WHEN PAUL? WHEN?"

He grabbed his head as we paced around. "You need to understand I had to I'm sorry," he said back .

"UNDERSTAND?? What understand that my best friend is a w-wolf? You lied to me and worse of all you promised Paul... You Promised,"I said while getting up from the bed.

"Please Aria I don't want anything to happen to you I had to leave I'm sorry... It was shitty but anything's better than seeing you get hurt,"he insisted.

"Hurt? Paul look at me I already am... You left like it was nothing and now this,"I said slightly lifting my arm.

"Why? You could've stayed Paul and told me the truth I would've been careful,"I replied.

"CAREFUL? There killing everybody. Th-They killed Harry," he said facing away from me.

"T-They what?"I said as more tears streamed down my face.

He nodded. "You could've told me.... Why didn't you?"I said shaking my head. "WHY?"

I looked at Paul as he looked angry or frustrated remembering earlier. "W-Who was that girl?"

"W-What?"

"You know who."

It took him a moment to realize who I was talking about. He quickly huffed out,"T-That was Rachel Jacob's sister I swear.... I don't."

He hesitated as I looked up at him. So he did replace me?

"DON'T LIE TO ME.. WHY HAVE YOU BEEN DOING THIS? HURTING ME? US?" I questioned.

"BECAUSE I LIKE YOU,"he shouted back.

I looked at his eyes. He walked up to me getting closer every second. He moved my hair from my face wiping away my tears. I looked away moving my head away.

"I-I do too....n-no I did,"I said back.

I looked at his eyes as he was hurt from what I said. But I was hurt too.

"No no no please Aria listen to what you're saying please. I swear I won't leave you,"he whisphered as he looked into my eyes. He grabbed my face holding it in his hands.

I looked away quickly looking back at him. "But you already did Paul,"I said softly.

"Arabella I swear I won't ever not again... Not like this. Please give me a chance. Let me back in. You need to know I only did this to keep you safe I didn't want you warped into all this shit. "Please,"he pleaded.

"I would've gladly gone through all of this with you Paul but you never have me a chance,"I said as my voice cracked from the shakiness of my voice.

"Arabella I just wanted to protect you please. You have to understand. I-I need you. Just tell me you need me to."
