I gripped the steering wheel tightly as I drove. The rain poured aggressively on my windshield. It was as if the sky was crying with me. As though it felt my pain. Raphael was right. I was in no condition to drive. I knew he was right but I had to leave the house. I was seeing red in that house and I had to leave.

Raphael...

Why did he do that to me? Why would he want to hurt me? Why?

Raphael...

I need to stop thinking about him. He's not worth my thoughts. But the way he begged me, the way he knelt down, his tearstained face...

Raphael...

Why can't i stop thinking about him? Ugh!!!! Please get out of my mind, I thought to myself as I drove. I felt so sad, so hurt, so disappointed, so... Betrayed.

"Fuck!!!" I hit the steering wheel hard as the image of Maya in Raph's arms and her lips on his flashed my mind. He kissed her back. He freaking kissed her back.

Think of a happy place.

I remembered my therapists words. How am I supposed to think of a happy place when the only thing I see when I think is Raph and Maya kissing?

I drove blindly and I didn't know where to go. I couldn't think straight. The white digits indicating my speed shone in the darkness of the car.

I was way above speed limit but I didn't care. I didn't care about anything. I drove like a numb person. I couldn't feel a thing. I just felt my heart shattering and falling down to my stomach.

I got to where I was headed to and I sat in the car. I bawled my eyes out as I sat there and thought about what Raph did to me. When I was satisfied, I checked my face in the mirror. I looked horrible and I don't blame myself. My face was swollen and my eyes were blood red. It was still raining so I grabbed Skittles' hoodie from the backseat and put it over my head as I got out of the car. I ran past the gardened path and made my way to the lighted porch.

I pressed the bell and I heard her voice.

"I'm coming!" She yelled from inside the house. I missed her voice, hell, I missed her. She opened the door and saw me and her face contorted with worry. She saw my eyes were filled with sadness and she asked.. "Aria, are you okay?"

I couldn't speak as more tears flowed freely from my eyes. Gosh! Can't I control my tears anymore? She pulled me in for a hug and she felt like home.. She even smelt like home. I instantly calmed down down as she engulfed me in the hug. She pulled me in the house because the wind started picking up. She handed me a cup of freshly made hot chocolate and that's when I knew I was at the right place. I was home and with the only person that will really understand me. Mum.

Raph's POV

Time stopped for me when she left. I begged her to stay. Why didn't she stay? She shouldn't have left me. I was still kneeling in the middle of my driveway, soaked and sobbing. The rain got heavier and I didn't care. I didn't even flinch when the wind started picking up.
