Regret rejecting me yet?

Chapter 8.

Aria's prov.

As I walked away from Xavier I couldn't help the small smile that came upon my face. I continued walking until I reached the pack house and I went straight to my room. After a long hot shower I was oil free and ready for dinner so I slipped on a pair of sweat pants and a tank top after putting on my favourite red lace bra and pantie set, through on my ugg boot slippers and made my way down stairs.

As I stepped into the kitchen, I was amazed that it was only myself, Chris, Kelly, Mr and Mrs Rodriguez and Xavier. Yay! Bloody fun this will be!!

"Hey princess. You gonna stand there or come in?" Chris' voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I made my way in the kitchen and went to stand by him.

"I swear Ari, you live in your own little world."

"Yeah yeah. I know. Hey what's the date today Chris?" I can't believe I didn't look at the date today.

"It's the 9th of July. Did you forget to check the date again?" No! How could the date of come so fast. Suddenly I know I need to be alone.

"Something like that. I'm actually not hungry, I just came down to let you know I won't be joining you all for dinner. I'm sorry." Sadness hidden in my voice but I knew Chris could hear it.

"Aria. Are you sure you want to be alone?" Chris whispered into my ear.

"I need to be alone Chris. Please just let me go." I whispered back.

"Not this time princess. You need us all today. Please don't shut off from us."

"I can't." With that said I ran to my room and locked the door behind me, I slid down the door and started to cry. I can't believe it's been 8 years since the incident. 8 long painful years!

Knock knock knock!

"Aria, princess, let me in please." Chris' voice came through the door.

"Please Chris I just want to be alone."

"If you don't open the door I'm going to smash it in. 3..... 2...." Before he got to one I unlocked the door and opened it a little then I walked over to my bed and sat down with my head in my hands.

"Aria, you know you can't stay alone." His soft calm voice came to my ears.

"It should of been me though Chris. I should of been me!!" Chris strong arms wrapped around my shoulders and pulled me close to his chest as I began to cry harder, all the while Chris murmured sweet nothing's into my ear, trying to calm me down.

As I was calming down a growl came from somewhere in the room, I instantly knew it was coming from Xavier, so I decided to check just incase he decided to rip Chris' head off. When our eye met, his posture relaxed a little when he saw I needed the comfort, Kelly was right behind him as were his parents.

"Aria, is everything okay? Why are you crying?" He asked while Chris moved so he could go to Kelly.

"It's nothing Xavier. Don't worry about it."

"Sweetheart, something is nothing if it causes you heartbreak and tears." His mum spoke for the first time. I can now see why she was such a great Luna.

"I promise Mrs Rodriguez, it's really nothing. I'm just being silly." I reply to her with the best fake smile I can muster up.

"Okay child. Well come on, let's go get you some food." She instructed then turned around and left the room as did everyone else apart from myself and Xavier.

"Please tell me Aria, I don't like seeing you upset."

"I told you it was nothing Xavier. Why do you even bloody care! You didn't a couple of years ago so don't start now!!" I growled at him, then stormed out of the door and made my way to the kitchen. I sat down at the table and began to help myself to some food.
