Broken and Fixed - (Conor McGregor)

Chapter 14

Aria stared out of the window, watching the rain drop on top of the tiny people who were running away, looking for a shelter. The tv was turned on but the real world interested her more because it wasn't drama, it was all what God had written for the world.

Her eyes still focused on the view which she could see outside of her window until she heard a doorbell. She rushed and opened the door, hoping to see Conor but it was someone completely different.

"Pizza delivery!" The blonde woman giggled as she brought the pizza inside and kept it on the table.

"But I didn't order a pizza." Aria said as she stared at the woman in awe.

"I know you didn't sweetie." She turned to face Aria who was completely bewildered and to remove that bewilderment, she decided to speak more. "I am Erin McGregor, Conor's older sister."

Aria's mouth opened a little as she gasped in wonder. The woman looked nothing like him. She was blonde, thin but when Aria stared hard at her face, she did resemble Conor a little. She was wearing a crop top and so, her abs were visible and her arms were toned up too. These features made Aria believe that she really was Conor's sister.

"I'm Aria Rutherford. I'm surprised that Conor told you about me." She smiled.

"Good to meet you, Aria. He even told me that you were starving so I got you pizza. But don't worry, you won't have that alone. Today's my cheat day so maybe I could help you finish up that large twenty inch pizza." Erin opened up the box and she looked more hungrier than Aria.

In truth, Aria wasn't even hungry but when that nice, fresh aroma of pizza prickled around her nose, her stomach made a slow rumbling sound and she realised that she had instantly become hungry.

Erin grabbed a slice and so did Aria. Both of them sat down in front of the tv to entertain themselves but all Aria could do was hog on her slice, as if she had never eaten a pizza in her life.

"Eat on, my little lassie." Erin grinned ever so sweetly as she stroked Aria's hair. "Why did you run away from your home?"

"My family doesn't understand me. I want to be independent and have a job." She replied after finishing the last bite.

"And how will you get that?"

"I don't know. I have been checking the newspaper for jobs and I found one which interested me the most. It's at this fashion company, take a look." Aria grabbed the newspaper and showed it to Erin who read the highlighted part and she smiled even more.

"Oh, that's the Feather Designing company. That's where Conor once got his suit made from. It was so classy, but when I suggested it to him the next time, he denied on getting his clothes made from there which is quite weird. What's the position they're offering?"

"It's the receptionist and it's open for the people above sixteen who are seeking a part time job. I'll do good, I guess." She folded the newspaper and put it back on the table.

"What about your college?"

"I'll go to college once I have enough money."

"No, I can pay for your college. Education is the most important thing in the world. You can repay later if you want but I want you to study. You look like a good girl and I want to help you, just like how Conor wants to."

"The McGregors are too kind to me." Aria chuckled before shaking her head. "It's alright, you really don't have to offer so much of kindness. I don't deserve it at all."

"No Ari, I'm serious. No one has to know. I'll get you admission in one of the good colleges here, in Dublin and I'll pay. I fight for woman rights and I want all the girls in the world to study so that they can be independent. Therefore you're not denying my offer, you understand that?"

"How can I ever thank you both? Both of you siblings are so kind to me." Her eyes started to tear up but Erin hugged her tightly, squeezing her closely just the way she had always hugged her little brother since childhood.

"Do not cry my baby girl. It's okay to get help sometimes. God has given me and Conor so much, it won't hurt to give some of it to others, right? So don't cry, be happy, be thankful because you still have everything and you've lost nothing. I'll make sure you live your life in the most comfortable manner. I'll look after you."
