Mom and Ray sat there blankly staring at us. What have I done? The nurse walks in as my mom starts at me in the eyes with some emotion that I can't even comprehend. Blake slides his hand in mine as our fingers entwine.

"She's mine." He pulls me into an embrace and pulls me to his side closely. Ray tenses up.
"She's your sister." Ray says.

"No she isn't. She's my step sister and I don't care I love her and you or her can't stop us." Blake tenses and tightens his grip.
"Stop you from what? From leaving, having sex?" Ray yells angrily. He walks over to Blake and slaps him across the face. For the second time.

I reach my hand out and slap Ray in the face then. Ray grabs my hand and twists it. I yell in pain as Blake grabs Ray's neck and chokes him to the ground. He holds him there until Ray grabs a needle from off of the table. I scream and jump in. The nurse walks in as she calls the security guards. Shit.

***

I sit beside Blake in the waiting room resting my head on his shoulder. As while Ray sits on the far end of Blake. Blake slides his hand in mine as Ray speaks.
"So... you and Aria? Have you umm..."

"Dad!" Blake yells as his grip tightens.
"Honest question... damn son."

Blake looks forward guilty.
"What I thought..." A moment of silence overcomes us as I; with my other hand run my hand down his thigh. It's none of Ray's business to be honest...

"Diana and I are getting a divorce." Ray says as Blake and I both gape at him. He looks miserable. I feel overwhelmed now. Like I've wanted this all along, but I have realized I am being selfish. My mom should be happy. She's having their baby.

"Why?" I ask genuinely sad. He looks up at me and Blake and smile.
"I don't know. She had said she wanted a divorce." He continues as he walks over to us and sits firmly beside Blake. "I'm happy that you two are happy. I always knew Aria liked you. Even though she had a crush on Levi. I'm not deaf nor blind son. I've seen her leave your room several times."

Blake tenses. "Okay. Continue. What about Brittany?"
"We're putting her up for adoption." My mouth fell open. No no. Not my baby sister.
"Why?" Blake asks as my heart sinks into the pit of my stomach.

"I can't take her and Diana doesn't want her." Doesn't want her? If I had a child I would want her or him. A tear invades my eye as Blake looks at me and wipes the tear. It's gonna be alright Aria. I promise." I lean onto him as I think of my baby. My miscarriage. Before the tears fall the doctor walks up to us.

"Mr. Moore?" Ray stands. "Yes?"
"Your son has asked to see you." Ray walks with the doctor as Blake and I are left. He looks at me and smiles.
"We get to be together."

My heart sank. Of course I want to be with Blake. But what about Ray or what about my mom? What about Brittany? She's giving my sister away. Blake notices my not so much enthusiasm.
"Aria... your mom is just unstable. My dad is ready to start a new family and I know Diana is scared. And Brittany will be okay." I look up at him and press my lips into a thin white line as he runs his fingers through my bangs and pushes them out of my eyes. He leans in and kisses me softly.

"Guess where you and I are going? Only you... and me." I smile goofy as he smirks. "Russia?" I say as he laughs. "Even better."
"What's better than Russia?" I laugh playfully as he pulls me closer to him.
"Florida. If you want to go." His lips press into an upwards smile.
"Of course I want to go!" I hug him and hold him. My life couldn't get any better. I sigh as I open my eyes. It can take and turn for the worse though.

I see Jesse being released, as his mother signs papers. Where's Carly? Hmm. I break the hug and stand up quietly as I brisk fully tap Jesse on the shoulder. He casually turns around and sees me as his pupils dilate. He whispers into my ear.
"Can we talk? Like later..." he eyeballs Blake and glares at him. Jesse's cast is dark blue.

I feel horrible about his spring break being ruined. But then again he deserved it. Every bone breaking experience. Teaches him to never fuck with me again. Agreeing to his request I nod. He looks away from me then back at me.
"Tonight... I'll sneak into your room." He whispers. That means I can't sleep with Blake. Ugh.

Jesse leaves me standing there as I return to Blake. Blake engulfs me in an amourus hug. I hug him back and breathe him in.
"No matter what happens with us Aria, I promise that I will never stop loving you the way I do."
"I love you Blake."
"I love you too."

***

We, as in me, my mom, Levi, Blake, and Ray. Baby Brittany was left at the hospital. Awaiting adoption. We all sat in the living room while Blake held my hand... in front of everyone. I loved it. Every part of it.

"As you know... Diana and I haven't been getting along too well." Ray led the conversation.
"And we gave up Brittany..." My mom added.
"We're getting a divorce. And Aria, we're moving to California in two weeks."

My face fell as a tear rolled down my face. Blake's grip on my hand tightened.
"Diana! That's a bit irrational don't you think?" Ray starts at my mom as Blake slides closer to me and caresses my head. My mom stands up and slaps the hell out of me. I whimper as my cheek stung with a pang of guilt. What had I done?
"You stupid bitch! Blake is your stepbrother that's sick. You nasty whore. I bet you fucked Levi too." My mom spat with cold anger as I break out crying. No I didn't fuck Levi.

"Blake tenses up and stands up and brings me with him. He brings me up to his room and lays me on the bed. He lays right beside me and kisses my cheek where Diana hit me. I can't even refer to her as my mother anymore. I can't believe she hit me.

Blake pulls me in closer as we both drift to sleep. He falls asleep silently. I remember my meeting tonight and sneak out of his arms and into my own bedroom. I see Jesse sitting on my bed as I flinch. He glances up at me as he pats the bed next to him. The only light in the room is the light from outside the window.

I sit beside Jesse as he slumps over and sighs.
"So you and Blake huh?" He asks as if he wanted a negative on the question.
"Why does it matter Jesse?"
"Well maybe because I want my fucking ex back and she's in love with a wierdo ass bitch." He says squeezing my hand with his only free hand.
"May I recall this "wierdo ass bitch" broke your arm and beat your ass. And have you stopped to think that maybe I don't want to be with you anyone. The beautiful classic. Once an asshole always an asshole." I put him to silence as he stands up and walks to the window.
"You'll come back. When you realize how fucked up Blake is." With that he leaves.

I wall into the hallway as I see Levi walking to his room. It's late at night. He stops me and pulls me into his room.
"Aria, I lied." He said as he kisses me on the lips. I push him off of me.
"Levi! Please stop." I stop him roughly.
"I want you Aria. Before you have to leave. I need you."

"Levi. You know I can't do that. You need to stop. Please." I push him off as I leave his room and head towards Blake's. I open his door as I reveal Blake sitting there awake with his hands holding his head. I slide next to him and wrap my arms around him softly as he grunts and pulls me in closer.

"Where were you?" He asks genuinely concerned.
I can't tell him about Jesse nor Levi. So I lie. "Get something from the kitchen. I was hungry..." I kiss his lips as he kisses me back sticking his tongue in. I let him lay me back against his bed as we fall asleep together. I know that I will have to tell him. Soon. Sooner. Eventually.
