Jared and Aria in mm

Omg I've been sick for like 3 days I cry. Worst feeling ever. I feel a little better today though.

Anyway on with the story.

Aria

I was trying to work out my leg as best I could. Physically and emotionally I was drained by this whole cripple situation. My hand was still a little sore but I could maneuver with it while my leg was still in unbearable pain. I was taking pain medicine for my body aches and quite frankly I was ready for all this shit to be over.

As I sat in the living room trying to lift my leg Zenobia pranced in plopping down next to me. I looked up to see a cheesy grin plastered across her face causing me to cease what I was doing.

This only meant one thing.

"Spill it!"

"Ok ok ok. Giiiiiirl like giiiiiirl I just oh my fucking goodness. Like please. Take me to the king." She dramatically stood up stomping her foot as if she'd caught the Holy Ghost.

"Please Zenobia what happened?" I asked again getting impatient.

She began going into detail of what occurred the night before.

"Wait so he? And you? Bitchhhhhhhh!" I squealed at this new found information.

"Yes and girl I just, it was great. Amazing."

"Sensational?"

"Yes damnit it was sensational."

"Well that's great I'm glad you had a good time bestfriend."

I always knew they'd make a great couple they were just too blind. And I know things were probably weird after I confessed feelings for Kam but I wanted that sense of love and protection. I just went about it the wrong way.

"Thank you but enough about me. Where yo boo at? It's not common that I see Aria without Jared." I smiled a little because this was very true. He'd wait on me hand and foot if I let him.

"He went home. Something about taking his little sister to cheerleading practice."

"Awww he's like the perfect guy Ari please snatch that man up."

"He's great yes, but-"

"But what?" She asked crossing her arms giving me that 'bitch you better have a good reason' look.

"I'm terrible at picking guys obviously and I just can't jump on the first guy that gives me attention. Plus with all I been through and the situation I just got out of I don't want Jared to be my rebound and I don't want to put my problems on him. He's a nice guy and he deserves me at my best and right now I'm broken Nobi."

She sighed before getting up to hug me.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all of this I truly am and I understand where your coming from I do. Just don't lose a good thing because you're scared to make the same past mistakes. It's ok not to know which direction to take. Mistakes are good to make Ari we can't learn without them. Just don't push Jared away. He's not Melvin."

"I know. He's so caring and he looks at me as if the world stops for a moment when he see's my face. I've never had that Nobi I'm scared. I'm scared to open up. I'm scared to love again."

"Just take your time and let it happen gradually ok?"

"Ok." I nodded my head wiping the tears I didn't know I had.

We stayed like that for a moment until she got up to make us brownies.

I went back to trying to make my leg move but it wouldn't.
