"Hey Belle ?"
"Hm" Dior sat down next to me
"Are you alright ?"
"Yeah" she nodded slightly before talking again
"Look, I'm really sorry about the other night I don't know why I kept pushing it so much, I really didn't mean to push you so much. I'm really sorry Belle"
"It's okay"
"Really ? Cause I'm worried, you are really quiet and you never used to be so quiet"
"Just a rough time, don't worry it'll be okay" she hugged me leaning her head on my shoulder
"If there's anything I can do just talk to me okay ? I love you and I'm here for you"
"Thanks, love you too"
"So, what's new ?"
"Nothing really, well there's the album of course which is amazing" she gasped and lifted her head looking at me
"Oh I wanted to talk to you about that, the album is incredible Belle like when I listened to it I didn't stop crying it was so painful and beautiful like I genuinely just argh" I laughed a little
"Thank you"
"No but you don't get it it was such an incredible experience"
"Well, it was really painful writing it too" her smile dropped a little "but hey I got some amazing songs so who cares"
"Yeah the best ones are the ones who want you to rip your soul apart"
"Exactly"
"What did you do ?!" We both looked at the door Charlie was standing at looking outside, Dior and I shared a look before getting up and walking to the door
"I just tripped and like fell I don't know"
"He fell into dirt" Walker added shaking his head trying to not laugh at Aryan, I let my gaze wander to his knee and there was quite some blood, I couldn't really tell how deep it was, not that I understood much of it, but that might've needdd stitches too. It looked brutal
"You know I'm no expert but I think that's not great" Charlie said looking at the wound
"Oh really ?" Dior joked looking at Charlie who shrugged
"I'll get some disinfectant but I'm really not good at cleaning wounds, I mean I can try"
"No please not you, last time you cleaned a wound it could've been reported for attempted murder" Aryan said looking like he was reliving some bad memories in his head
"Alright dramatic much" Charlie left to get the disinfectant
"I'll do it" Walker offered with a smug grin on his face so I knew there was also some bad memories connected to that
"Uh, I can't see blood. I'll just- ew no" Dior shook her head with a disgusted expression, I knew that she was not good with blood but it was slowly starting to look like I knew how this was gonna go
Aryan probably had the same Idea considering that I basically saw his eyes searching for Leah who had gone to sleep earlier cause she was tired
I locked eyes with Walker who seemed to at this point have figured out where this had led to too
"So who's the lucky one who gets to do this" I sighed rolling my eyes a little and just walking up to Charlie grabbing the small bottle out of his hand with no word heading to a couch
I poured a little bit of the disinfectant onto a cotton pad and took a breath before turning to Aryan
"You know, I can-"
"Just shut up" he did shut up leaving only the sound of our breathing in the air, I hesitated a little before reaching out to hold his leg with my free hand
I brought the cotton pad to his leg, hovering above the wound for a bit before carefully starting to tap it, he flinched away a little shortly but I didn't let that bother me, I just wanted this to be over as quick as possible
"You seem mad" that almost got me looking up at him but I couldn't dare, you seem mad ?! Who says that to their ex ?!
"'m fine. You probably don't need stitches"
"That was an option ?" I knew I had nothing to be mad about, we had broken up and not to care about each others relationships anymore. I was the one who broke up with him on top and I've wanted him to move on. Yet it still really hurt that I had to find out about him being in a new relationship though social media
"Yeah" I wasn't really thinking much anymore so I just spoke without a single thought in my head "so were you gonna tell me ?"
"Tell you what ?"
"Or did you just plan on me finding out through social media" he frowned at me and for a second I really had hope that Charlie was right and I just made a silly little mistake
"I didn't think it was that important to you, you ended things after all", alright... that stung
"Just would've been nice to get a little bit of a warning" I muttered quietly, I could practically feel Aryans eyes burning into me at this point "Anywyas, uh" I got up
"How did you find her account ?"
"Just came across it somehow"
"Oh"
"Yeah" I let my eyes wander to him once before going to join the others outside, I stepped next to Walker who was laughing watching Dior and Charlie try this dance they saw on TikTok "what is going on here ?"
"One of them is gonna end up with like a broken arm or something but I don't know which one" my twin laughed and I had to admit it really looked like that
"Just a normal Wednesday then ?"
"How'd it go with the wound ?" He turned to me now
"All clean" I shrugged but I obviously knew that he didn't care about that "it was fine, not really that important" it had left a hollow feeling inside of me since I had in fact gotten the confirmation from Aryan that he was dating someone new, no delusion about it anymore
