A Love We Deserve-Toby & Aria

Chapter 25

Toby's POV:

I get the feeling that something is wrong. I whisper to her "Are you alright?" she responds by whispering in my ear "There's a black hoodie outside of the window.... Watching us." I get up a little and I mouth to her "Like right now?" she nods. I get up like there is nothing wrong and walk over to the door, I whip it open practically making a dent in my wall and see the person standing there. They immediately run down the stairs, I run after them and scream to Aria to not leave the loft. I chase the black hooded person down the block but when I turn the corner whoever it was is gone. "Damn it" I say under my breath. I start walking back to the loft. I constantly look back to see if the hooded person comes back when all of a sudden I hear a loud scream, it's Aria. I dash back to the loft, the door is wide open like I left it. When I ran out she was still on the couch safe and sound. When I finally get inside I'm taken aback, the place is destroyed. It look like there was a fight. I get started when a hand reaches up from behind the recliner and slams on the top cushion. It's Aria, she's using the chair to get back on her feet. I run over and help her up, her head is bleeding and it looks like something is wrong with her left ankle. "What happened?" I ask her. A blank look comes across her face. "I.... I don't remember." "Well after I ran out do you remember anything after that?" she shakes her head and puts her hand on her forehead. "My head hurts" she says. "You might need stitches, we have to get you to a doctor." she nods and starts walking when she falls. I squat down on the floor next to her "What happened?" I ask. "It's my ankle." she says. I put my left arm around her and my right arm under her knees. I pick her up, grab my keys and head out the door.
