*Recap: "Who's that ?" She pointed at me as Harry looked back. Shit, I bet she knows what he was really doing. Now my parents are going to find out and I'm going to be dead.*

Harry looked back at his mom as she looked back at him, "she's my girlfriend, mum, now if you could please go that would be great !" He glares at her and quickly shuts the door. "Sorry about that. Mum's just a nosey bitch" Harry sits down next to me leaving his towel on. I slowly looked at him, "that was a little harsh, wasn't it ?" "What was ?" He asked with confusion. "Mum's just a nosey bitch" I mocked Harry as he stared at me biting his lip. "She's use to it. Aria, do you love me ?" Harry looks at my lips then into my eyes. "Uh, yes ! Why do you ask ?" I cross my leg over the other. "I'll protect you." He grabs my hand looking deeply into my eyes. "Uh, ok" I gave him a weird look. "anyway that I can. No one can hurt you as long as I'm around. Do you trust me ?" At this point I didn't know if he was lying or telling the truth. I didn't want him to become aggressive and mean towards me like he was earlier. So you know what I did ? "I trust you." I nod as I smile at him. That, that's what I did. I can't entirely trust this kid with all the problems he has caused, the fights. I'm starting to question myself as to why I'm with him. My face expression told him that I was happy but I really wasn't. He could tell I wasn't happy. How, though? I thought I was good at hiding my feelings. "You don't want to be with me, do you?" He let go of both of my hands. My face expression turned from happy to sad within seconds, "No, no! Of course I do. It's just..." I paused for a second. "It's just? It's just what?" He says now raising his voice, "Is it because you're afraid of me? Like everyone else? I'm not who you think I am!" He stood up and looked down at me. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair, "I am afraid of you, ok! But not like I was before. You can be so sweet at times but then at other times, you're an asshole. You are who I think you are. You're that dark fucking kid who I and everyone else are afraid of. I can't trust you! I just said I do because I didn't want you to be an asshole towards me again." I flinch waiting for the hit I deserve. I open one eye to see that his fists were clenched. It's coming. I know it. I kept that one eye open to see what he was doing. I noticed that his fists were not clenched but loose, as if he was holding himself back. He sat back down on the bed, "just go" He said calmly. I could tell he wanted to blow up and beat the shit out of me. I could tell. I sat up and looked at him, "what? No. I want to talk." He lifted his hand up so I flinched, thinking he was going to hit me but all he did was point to the door, "I said go" He looked down at the floor. He's getting pissed. I stood up and looked down at him. "I can't believe I'm losing you already." He ran his fingers through his hair and looked up at me. I stared at him not saying a single word. If I open my mouth, I know that I'll say something I'll regret. I couldn't possibly take that chance so I walked out of his room, out of his house. I'm an idiot. So fucking stupid for coming here in the first place. I should've let them beat the shit out of each other but being me, I just had to stop them.

I was sat in my room on my bed when someone knocked on my bedroom door, "Someone's downstairs to see you, sweetie." I heard my mom said from the other side of my door. "Coming!" I said before standing up. I heard my mom walk back downstairs. I opened my bedroom door and walked out, starting to head downstairs, "I swear to god, if it's Harry" I mumbled and stopped seeing who is downstairs. "What?" I gasped as I got to the bottom of the stairs. She turned around and smiled widely, got up and ran to me, pulling me into a hug. I hugged her tightly and let a tear fall, "Gio, I've missed you so much."

Gio has been my best friend ever since we were in diapers. I had to leave her behind in New York when I moved to L.A. and I was lost without her the few weeks here. We did everything together. We are like sisters. I didn't like the idea of moving away from her but mom said I had to. Her name's Giovanna but I call her Gio for short. She has such a pretty name, doesn't she? Let me tell you a little bit about her. Well, she has long, black wavy hair that ends at the middle of her back. It's perfect and I wish I had hair like hers. She has the most beautiful hazel eyes. I just love them because well, my eyes are just plain brown. It's just not pretty. She is really pretty and let me tell you, I'm jealous of her. Every guy she has been around just can't keep their eyes off of her. If you compare me to her, there's a massive difference. I'm so ugly compared to her and it isn't fair. She plays soccer, softball, gymnastics, basketball, and so many more sports that I wish I was good at. She's not too skinny and she's not too fat. She's, what some people might say, just right. She can show some skin any time she wants and not feel insecure about her weight. Her stomach is just flat, the perfect body that I've always wanted. What a lucky bastard. Believe it or not she's single, which I find hard to believe because just look at her.

"I've missed you so much, too! I couldn't be away from you any longer so I thought that I should come surprise you!" She smiles as we pull away. "Well, you sure did surprise me." I giggle and wipe away the tear that fell, "C'mon, let's go up to my room and catch up on the time we have been away from each other!" I grab her hand and pull her upstairs. "Well someone's a little anxious" She laughs as we walk into my room. I push her onto the bed and quickly shut the door, "Woah, was that necessary?" She fixes her hair as I roll my eyes. I sit next to her and turn myself so we are facing each other. "Gio, there's this boy named Harry." I started to talk but she interrupted me, "A boy? Named Harry? Holy shit that's a hot! Are you guys together? What's he like?" She started throwing loads of questions at me. "Gio, calm down! My parents don't know anything of it." I cover her mouth with my hands. "What? Why not?" She removed my hands and stared at me. "Because well, there's a twist. He's one of those dark boys and everyone is afraid of him. If my parents found about us I'd be dead. They don't want me near him." I sigh and look at her. "Oh" She said a bit more quietly and slouched down a bit, "Anyways, tell me everything that happened between you guys." She sat back up and smiled. "I'm just going to tell you what happened an hour before you came." I sigh as she nods. I continue, "ok, so, we were in his room. He just got out of the shower and he came out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. He kissed me and stuff started getting intense. We were about to do it when his mom interrupted. Then after that we talked for a minute and he told me to leave. I don't know if we're still together or not. I'm so confused." Gio was staring at me with her mouth open, "YOU WERE GOING TO HAVE SEX?!" She shouts loudly. "Shhh! My mom is downstairs!" I quickly cover her mouth again. I remove my hands and stand up, "But yes we were." "Holy shit, Ari. You're mad." She looks up at me and I giggle. "Anyways" I smirk at her and walk over to my radio, "He has 4 friends named Zayn, Niall, Louis, and Liam. Liam seems like the only decent and nice one. Now, Zayn. You two would be so cute together. Oh my god, Gio." I turn on the radio and leave the volume on low and walk back over to her. "What really?" I saw her face light up. I sit back down next to her and smile, "yes! I'm totally hooking you guys up." I wink at her, "but if he's like Harry, you're not dating him." "Oh, Ari. You're so protect of me." Gio sticks her tongue out at me. "Well you are like my sister and I love you so much. Of course I'm going to be protective. I'm not going to let some guy be an asshole towards you." I smile at her. "Hey wanna go to the mall?" Gio asks. "Helly yeh! Let's go." I grab her hand and drag her downstairs. "You need to stop doing that." She laughs as we get to the bottom of the stairs. "Eh, no." I grab my car keys, "Mom! Gio and I are going to the mall. Be back in a bit!" I shout through the house before leaving. "This is going to be so fun" Gio smiles and claps her hands. "ye--" I bump into someone on the way to the car and fall."woah, pay attention next time." I growl and stand up as I brush myself off. Did I really just say that? What's wrong with me?
