Aris Jones X Reader One Shots

Cheater

Aris's P.O.V

I told myself to just ignore it. I told myself to ignore the way she would sneak into the house late at night. I told myself to ignore the way she hugged him just a little too long. I told myself to ignore the way she would disappear at the same time as him. I told myself to ignore the way she looks at him.

After all, I have no real right to be angry.

It didn't matter though. I can't do this anymore. Not when she does all those things right in front of me. It was killing me, destroying me.

She told me that she’d be home late, which makes sense. I mean where else would she be but with him?

That was good though. It gave me time to pack and just leave. I don't know where I was going, but it wasn't here. It wasn't with her.

I have no right to be angry, but I also do. Nothing got dragged on. It didn't actually mean anything. Not the way he does to her.

Looking at the small picture she had made for me just a few months ago, I sat on the bed and held it like it would fix this. Like it would make everything okay.

Despite my better judgment, despite the way it made the small bag weigh more than I could carry, I put it in and zipped it up.

Knowing that if I stayed in that room one more second I would never leave, I slowly walked out, my entire body heavy as I dragged myself down the stairs. Leaning against the wall, as I got to the bottom floor she came in through the front door right by me, wearing a bright grin.

“Aris?”She called, turning to go upstairs and finding me. “Hello, love,”She smiled. Until she saw the bag in my hand. That's when it left her face quicker than anyone could imagine. “Where are you going?”

“I’m leaving,”I whispered.

“Leaving?”

“Yeah. Leaving,”I repeated.

“Me? You're leaving me?”She asked slowly.

“Yeah. I am.”

“Why? I thought we were fine? I thought we were happy?”

“So did I.”

“Aris, whatever it is, we can talk about it. Okay?”

“Y/N-”
“Whatever I did, I’m sorry. I can fix it. If you-”
“Y/N-”
“Just explain we can talk about it. We can fix it if-”
“Y/N!”I finally yelled. Shutting her mouth, she just stared at me with teary eyes.

“What did I do?”She repeated.

“Don't play dumb,”I sighed, trying to push past just for her to grab my arm and keep my back. “Don't-”
“I can fix it. Okay? I can fix it. Just let me-”
“Y/N-”
“Make it better. Tell me how to make it better. I just-”
“Let me go!”

“Aris, I just-”
“I’m done with you! I know the truth! I know you're a cheater!”I finally confessed, feeling tears stream down my cheeks at the words. Gawking at me, her hurt eyes turned into a cold glare as she slowly got closer.

“Did you accuse me of being a cheater? I try to spend time with my brother that I just found out is alive, was just keeping it from you because I wasn't ready to talk about it, and I get accused of cheating?”

“Brother?”I got out.

“Yeah. Brother. And you have no damn right to talk to me like that after kissing Rachel,”She scowled, now eye level with me. With her glare only hardening, I swore she could kill me with it right then and there.
