"I've been living with them all my life. They've been terrible guardians, but I'm alive and healthy because of them. Even though I know that they hate me, I feel as if they have a little bit of love for me. Do you get what I'm saying?" Jonah said to Aria.

Jonah and Aria had come back home and night had fallen. Neither of them could go to sleep, so they decided to go up on the roof and stargaze.

Jonah was stressed out about his aunt and uncle. He wasn't sure what exactly he should do, so he decided to talk to Aria about it.

"I don't really understand. I know the saying 'there's a thin line between love and hate' and that's what I believe, you can't love and hate one person. If you think your aunt and uncle hate you then they can't love you. Doesn't it hurt you when your aunt and uncle blame you for your parents' death? Doesn't it hurt you that your aunt and uncle hate you painting? Doesn't it hurt you ---" Aria was cut off.

"Yes, it does hurt me. But I don't have anyone else Aria. No one else that's my blood. What am I going to do without them?" Jonah sighed defeatedly.

"You're going to live your life. You're going to become the best at what you do. You're going to love someone. Someone's going to love you. You'll live a happy life." Aria said wishing that Jonah would love her.

Over the past week, Aria had developed feelings for Jonah.

She couldn't help but smile whenever she was around Jonah. She loved how she felt when she was with Jonah.

The butterflies in her stomach, smiling 24/7, the urge to hug him, the urge to hold his hand...

"Thank you Aria. You're so beautiful and nice. I don't know what I did to deserve you." Jonah responded.

At this, Aria blushed. Fortunately, it was dark, so Jonah couldn't see her blush.

Little did she know, that he was falling for her as well.

Jonah kissed her on the cheek and whispered "Good night" in her ear.

Then he went back to the guest room so he could lay down and think about what they were talking about and what he just did.

He just kissed Aria on her cheek. Does he like her? You bet he does, but is he going to tell her? We'll see.

Aria just sat there on her roof, thinking about how Jonah kissed her cheek.
