In The Spotlight

Chapter 4

Arias PoV

Really! Why would he do this to me he knows I hate my uncle and why couldn't he just have Dave come over even though he's my bodyguard he's my best friend too

Oh I forgot he's jealous of me and Dave! Cause he thinks we have a thing for each other...pathetic

But I knew he was only looking out for me.

That thought put me to ease

"Your not saying much"joe said looking at me again I put head down and tears were started running down my face again

I stood up and whipped my tears away and headed into my room without saying a word to joe.

He ran after me and suddenly i felt tow hands wrap around my waist I turn round to see him staring at me,

He wiped my tears with his warm hand "I'll will only be away for a few days"he wisperd in my ear "and a phone call away" he smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back "it's late and you have a plane to catch tomorrow" I say as I kiss his cheek so we go off to bed

I woke up with no joe beside me he must have caught his flight

I checked my notifications and I conveniently had two miss calls and a message from joe saying "missing you already and I'm not even I the the flight yet and btw your uncles coming at 1 xx💖".

That was so cheesy I laughed a bit, then checked my phone for the time and relised it was 12:30 so i ran around my house like a crazy person

I wore a black scater dress with black combat boots a white flower crown and I had just threw my hair in a bun

And as soon as I knew it the buzzer went

He was here.

I opened the gate to let him in, the was wearing a shirt over a tshirt and some baggy jeans

He walked in the door and I walked up to him to greet him

"Hi,it's so lovely to see you"I lied he looked me up and down then walked past me not saying a word.

He looked around after he walked out my entrance he mumbled something I couldn't quite make out what he said "sorry I didn't quite get that" he turned and looked at me with anger "WHERE IS MY ROOM!" He shouted I almost jumped out my skin just along that corridor right at the bottom he turned and walked away

I let out a deep breathe and sat on my couch but the only thing I could think about was what happend to my mum.My phone buzzed mid thought and it was my stylist "is three okay for tomorrow" omg I forgot I have an award show tomorrow I text her back straight away "sure thing!"

It had been a few hours now and I had not seen Matt (the uncle) I should probably see if he's okay I stood up and started to walk to his room regretting my choice at every step I took I knocked on the door and he opened it once again with an angry look on his face "I thought this was my room,why are you here?!"he snapped

Now I was furious "This is my home,my property I can go anywhere I want speak like that to me again i will kick you out faster than your head can spin!" I shouted

He was red with anger you could pretty much see steam coming out his ears

He grabbed my wrist "don't you ever talk to me like that again,don't bother showing up at my door either!" He shouted back and pushed my wrist away and slammed the door.

I ran up to my room and sat on my bed I was so scared I couldn't think straight if only I could talk to someone I'm an 18 year old with barley any freinds and I can't contact joe if i did he would come over here straight away and I don't want him missing out on his trip

Zoe!

I rang the phone practically shaking "hello?"Zoe asked "Zoe is that you?!"by this point I was jumping up and down with exitement "Aria I was worried about you how's everything going with Matt?"she asked concerned "that's actually what I'm calling about,oh Zoe he's so horrible and he hurt my wrist an......" Zoe interrupted me"my house now " she said stern

I didn't want to leave Matt in my house on his own but I didn't care i just wanted to get away from all of this
I packed my stuff and grabbed my leather jacket.

"My going to my friends place I'll be back by 2 tomorrow"I shouted to Matt I didn't dare go in his room.

I got to Zoe's safely as I walked in nala jumped all over me she was the cutest dog ever Zoe ran up to me and give me a huge hug "so great to see you!" She cheered Alfie later popped his head out hog his office to say hello.

"How about movies and takeout?" She winked at me "yessss"I begged "you deserve it! After that idiot hurt your wrist uhh"she sighed
