Chapter 6

Ariana's P.O.V.

It's Saturday morning, as I sit with a mug of coffee at the kitchen bar. I watch as the news plays, on the television In the living room.

Tragic Car Accident - the screen reads.There are two cars crashed together with a motorcycle involved. A guy lays on the ground, with a helmet. Probably the one who was riding the bike. He looks unconscious and unstable on the ground.

"These accidents are getting out of hand. They should really start making those driving tests more strict before letting crazy maniacs on the road"Aunt Dolly speaks as she washes her breakfast dish.

I take a sip of my coffee before we both hear the doorbell ring. "That must be Velma from Church"Aunt Dolly drys her hands and heads over to the door.

I pay no attention, as I cover up my arms better with the huge UCLA sweater on me. It belonged to my big brother, that is until he left out the country two years ago.They tried every possible way to get ahold of him, after my parents had died. But no has seen or heard from him.

Sometimes I wish He didn't leave. I wish he was just here with me now, holding me in his big tight arms. I never understood why he just up and left. It's like we aren't even siblings anymore, he's just another stranger now.

"A-Ariana, someone is here to see you"Aunt Dolly calls out to me from the front door. I furrow my eyebrows and put my coffee cup down on the granite counter.

I step down from the bar stool, and head over to the door, where she stands with the door wide open. When I get a good look at who could possibly be here for me, my eyes land on Justin.

"Hey, thought I would drop by and hang here for a little"He stands there with his hands in his pockets.

"I don't see why not, Come in"Aunt Dolly pulls him inside, my eyes widening. Why is she bringing him in here? I didn't say I wanted to hang out with him.

"It's so good to see you. Last time I saw you was a few years back at the Grande's Christmas party"She embraces him into a hug. "You've gotten so big, it's good to see that you and Ariana are still close friends"She smiles and I hit her on the arm.

"We're not that close"Justin chuckles. Thank You.

"But it's still nice to see that she has a friend. Haven't seen much around since the accident"She says and I hit her again. Please stop. She gives me a serious look.

"Would you like something to drink? I have some fresh coffee made in the maker"She asks but he shakes his head no.

"Well, tell me if you need anything"She winks and walks away. I give him an apologetic look and he chuckles.

"It's okay, I understand"He smiles at me. I raise an eyebrow at him, hoping he gets that I'm wondering why the hell he's even here.

"I don't know what your implying here by your stance"He shrugs. I roll my eyes and take out my phone.

Me: Why are you here?

He reads my text and looks up at me.

"Really? Come on, just speak"He begs but I shake my head no again.
He rolls his eyes.

"I just thought you might need some company"He says.

Really?

Me: With all the people in this town, you choose to spend your Saturday here? I'm not buying it. What do you want?

He reads my text and looks up at me.

"I don't want anything. I just want to spend some time with you. I don't think you should be complaining,cause I don't see anyone else here"He tells me.
