The next time I woke up it was 2:00pm. A little note was left next to my pillow and I smiled. Had to go to class, but I promise I'll be back as soon as I can. You're really cute when you sleep sunshine ;) see you soon<3 Love, Max. A small smile appeared on my lips. A lot of things were still unclear to me, but Max was just the support I needed. I picked up my phone and looked at all the messages.

From: Luke~~ Aria we really need to talk. I love you and I can explain all of this.<3 Text me. 

From: Tyler~~ Wanna hangout? ;)

From: Kat~~ Thank you Aria! I love you and can't wait to hangout again! :)

From Charlie~~ Get your ass out of bed so we can go do something cupcake. <3 <3 <3

I giggled at the last one and replied back to Tyler first, Movie tonight? Then I texted Charlie, Come and get me you oaf. ;) <3 Not even a minute later, Charlie burst into my room and jumped on top of me. His green eyes were filled with happiness and I giggled before kissing his nose and pushing him off me. I got dressed into a pair of black short shorts and a lace with tank top with a gold necklace. I quickly pulled my hair into a pony tail and pulled on my black converse. My make up was a wreck, so i quickly wiped it all off and just added a little blush and mascara. Charlie was tapping his foot and smiled when I entered the room. He grabbed my hand and yanked me out the door while I struggled to keep up.  

As I expected, Luke burst out of his dorm the minute we got outside and tried to grab my arm. I whimpered and stood behind Charlie. It wasn't that I was afraid. I just was afraid I would break down into tears in front of him which was something I never wanted to do again. Charlie growled before pulling me into the elevator, holding me protectively behind him. Luke glared, but didn't make a move to come after me again which I was grateful for. 

As we reached the bottom of the elevator, Charlie slung his arm around me, pulling me into his side. I smiled slightly and leaned my head on his arm as we walked. It was a comfortable silence and I think Charlie understood that I just couldn't talk about it right then. He guided us to a shady area, under a tree and sat down, pulling me on top of him.

"Just because Luke and I are over doesn't mean this is okay."

"I'm just being a friend cupcake." He said with a cheeky grin. I giggled and leaned back against his chest. For the first time in awhile I felt safe. All of my troubles seemed to fade away as I listened to Charlie's heart beat and breathed in his scent of coffee. It reminded me of home and I hated to admit it, but I missed home. I watched the clouds float by and remembered when I had played that game with Drake. I haven't seen him around which I thought was kind of strange. Behind me, I could hear soft snores coming from Charlie and I sighed as I wrapped my arms around him. A small smile took over his face as his grip on me tightened. 

I decided to let Charlie sleep because he just looked so adorable. When he finally opened his eyes he gave me a lazy grin and kissed me. I froze at first, but then just shook it off and smiled. He must have been tired still. I got off him and he grabbed my hand when he got up. He led us back to our dorm because it was starting to get dark and I told him I had to see a friend. It didn't feel right lying to Charlie, but I had to see Tyler. As I entered, I quickly did my makeup and shrugged before walking out the door. I made roughly two steps before I was grabbed around the waist. The sparks that I felt narrowed it down to two people. Slowly, I turned around to see Max smirking at me. I slapped his chest and let out a deep breath.

"You scared me! Gosh, I thought you were Luke. Don't ever do that again Max." He chuckled and rolled his eyes before kissing me softly on the lips. I pulled away and shook my head. 

"I have to go see a friend. You can wait for me in my room if you want. Just lock the door... Or don't. Just do whatever to not get caught." 

"Fine sunshine. Hurry back." He winked before disappearing into the air. I still was not able to get use to that. The elevator doors opened and I quickly walked in. Just as the doors were closing, Luke slipped inside. I groaned before facing the other way.

"Aria, look at me. Talk to me."

"Leave me alone Luke. I'm not kidding. I'm over it so I don't need to hear your bullshit."

"You're over it? You're over this?" His hands wrapped around my waist as he kissed my neck, making sparks and heat spread throughout my body. I shakily nodded my head and tried to rid myself of his grip, but no such luck. I began counting sheep in my head to try to distract myself from the kisses he was placing down my neck and his hands roaming around my body. I felt like jello and thought I would fall to the ground any second, but I knew I couldn't be weak anymore. I was an Alpha's daughter and I damn well was gonna act like one.
