Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 47

I watched as everyone blew up the air mattresses and get blankets and pillows while I was stuck on the couch again when the doorbelle rang

"Who's that so late ?" Walker frowned, Leena went to check the door and Charlie looked through the doorframe to make sure everything was alright

"What are you doing here ?!" I heard Leena ask the person who was at the door then someone else talked but I couldn't hear their voice really "No you can't, I think you should leave" the others went to see who it was too now, I sat there but my curiosity got the better of me so I grabbed my crutches and carefully got up walking to the front door myself. I saw who it was as soon as I left the door and I genuinely couldn't believe it

"Belle, there you are someone wouldn't let me in" she looked at Leena while I slowly made my way towards the door, I was angry, furious even "Jason and I got you a basket with your favourite things, well because of your leg you know" I was still too shocked to say something so I just stood there for a moment trying to get a grip on what I just heard

"What is wrong with you ?!" I eventually said, Valeria's smile faded really quick after that, she was taken aback a bit not expecting that reaction

"What do you mean ?"

"What do I mean ?! Are you kidding me ? Is this some kind of joke ? I can't believe you" Leena stepped back a bit seeing I was handling the situation on my own "What do you expect Val ? You come here with a basket and expect everything to go back to normal ? What do you want me to thank you now ? You come here with a basket you made with my ex-boyfriend who cheated on me, with you and expect a thank you ?"

"You don't have to be such a bitch about" she had a frown on her face now

"Excuse me ? What are you doing here Valeria ? It's been two weeks you know ? If you wanted to see me so bad you could've come earlier for one. And I think I was pretty obvious when I told you that I won't let you make me feel bad, I won't feel bad for you. If you come crawling back to me now that your conscience can't take it anymore I really don't care. I told you once already you can't ruin anything more for me, you're not important enough to ruin anything for me anymore" she looked like she was going to cry

"But- but you're my best friend"

"I'm not. I haven't been since the day you chose my boyfriend over me"

"Come on"

"No just leave me alone" I turned around slowly

"Belle !" she reached for my arm making me stumble and my crutch slip, I fell forward, my heart racing but Aryan caught me before I could fall

"It's okay I got you" he helped me get my balance again and then turned to Valeria "You should leave"

"I'm sorry Belle, I didn't mean to please let me make it up to you I need you" I just stood there on my foot with my crutches steady in my hands trying to calm down, no one tells you how scary the simple things get after one accident

"Stop it just, just stop it I think you've done enough already" I heard Aryan say, I was with my back to them, the others had gone to the living room a little earlier to give me some privacy

"You should be glad that I'm trying to make it up to you, this is all your fault you're-" Aryan closed the door not even letting her finish her sentence

"Are you okay ?" He asked me placing a hand on my back comfortingly, I nodded a little

"Yeah" I turned my head to look at him, we were really close. I don't know if I just hadn't noticed before or if talking with Leah had opened my eyes (I felt like I was looking through the mist or something) but we stood there, really close for a moment before he turned to look towards the door

"The nerve she has" we went back into the living room, no one stopped their conversations which I was just so glad for. I sat down on my place on the couch and put my leg up, Aryan sitting down next to me "so have you written anything new you want to show me ?" He grinned

"Maybe" he raised his eyebrows "but that would mean I have to go upstairs so I'm saying nothing new"

"Oh come on I was so close"

"I have written a lot actually, a lot of feelings" I scrunched my face "but like nothing I would show you anyways they're like really cringe"

"Sure they are, you know people ask for you to release a cover of better man"

"They're just talking" I rolled my eyes "it wasn't even that good"

"Why can't you play a song you wrote on a live once"

"Because that's like really weird"

"Just once, pleasee"

"No"

"Come on, one time, one song. Can't be that bad"

"I can't play anything anyways right now cause I have a cast around my entire leg" I say pointing to my leg

"Yeah but, alright let's say when the cast on your knee is gone, then you can play right?" He looked so hopeful saying that

"Yeah but I'm not gonna"

"If you play a song on a live I will get you that one Taylor Swift hoodie that you've been wanting" my eyes widen hearing that

"No way I can't ask for that"

"What are you two talking about so secretly over there" Charlie pointed us out

"We were talking about Belles musical in middle school" I hit Aryans arm but he just grins widely at me

"The musical was literally so good can we watch it ?!" Leena asks looking around

"Absolutely like she killed that" Dior agreed

"You're all so mean to me why don't we listen to Rolling in the deep Aryans version that's way better"

"Rolling in the deep" Leah started singing

"I vote for the musical" Walker said raising his hand

"Me too"

And they did watch the musical, I was horrified throughout the whole thing like I was so young when I did that

Authors note:
Belle crushing on Aryan (just a teeny tiny bit) or what is it that I see here 😧
My father was sitting like right next to me while I wrote this I was panicking 😭
Also this is a surprise part since I wasn't expecting writing anything really today but ended up writing a really long and really amazing chapter so I can release this one 😋
