(Aria's POV)
I dragged Kisses all the way to Paradise {You didn't expect me to bring that up again, did you?} as I let go of her hand. "Aria?! I d-didn't know y-you were at D-Drew's house? Um, where are w-we? Here why are we? UM I MEAN-" she stumbled in her words but I cut her off by hugging her. "I heard everything..." I started. She tensed up. It was silent. "Are you m-mad?" she asked. I broke away from the hug. "Why would I be mad?" I asked.

[ Flashback Begin ]

I was in the middle of the staircase when I heard crying. What's going on? I peeked my head downstairs, careful not to reveal myself when I saw Andrew frying something and... Kisses?! Its 1 in the morning?!? ...She's sobbing. What happened?

After few minutes later, Andrew placed the fries in front of her and after what seemed like him taunting or persuading her, she started to eat the fries. I quietly laughed at his reaction. Even strangers could tell they were best friends. I decided to watch more to see what happens.

My eyes widened as they sorta confessed to each other. I mean they're best friends, someone was bound to have feelings sooner or later. Somehow it stung my heart. I know we're too young but... A girl can't help but love. I was kinda happy when they bestfriend-zoned. My eyes widened once again when Kisses talked about leaving. Once they went quiet. That's when I knew....

There was more than just that.

She needs me as much as I needed her back then.

[Flashback End]

"You heard?" she asked. "Go." I said, ignoring her words. You can't just directly say you eavesdropped on someone and expect them to be okay with it. "Huh?" she asked as she raised her brows, probably thinking I'm crazy. "Shout it all out." I ordered with a calm but stern voice. "What do you mean? Aria, what are you thinking?" She asked once more as she looked at me, square in the eye, trying to find for answers. I took a deep breath.

"Shout it out. Tell the whole world what's running in your head, what questions you wish you knew the answer to. All of the emotions you're locking in you chest." I explained. "Ari, I think you're just assuming things. I'm perfectly fine. I-" she tried to reassure me. "This," she pointed to the direction of our houses. "It will be over soon. Everything will be okay and-" As she said those words, I couldn't help but snap.

"Kisses! Do you hear yourself?! Stop trying to act calm and normal. Stop convincing yourself that everything is fine! Its not! Besides, what if I'm f****** assuming? I know what you're going through too well so just SHOUT. IT. OUT!" I exclaimed. She was taken aback from my outburst but then her expression changed to... Anger?

"I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE! I DON'T TO CRY ANYMORE! I CRIED TOO MUCH TEARS FOR A NIGHT! SO MANY THINGS HAVE HAPPENED, ARIA! I JUST WANT EVERYTHING BACK TO NORMAL!" She shouted. My eyes widened. I was about to speak but then she spoke again. "You want me to shout everything that's in here, huh?" she pointed to her chest. "Then here!"

Kisses faced the ledge, along with the sunrise and the whole city below. Then she began. "Why did you have drive?! And out of all people, why did you have to hurt her! She was kind, loving, she was good! She wasn't the cause of your misery, your tears. So why HER!!" She shouted, each word becoming louder that the last, each one becoming more emotional than the last.

"Louder! Harder!" I ordered. Hey, I was trying to encourage. Not command. FYI Temmie. I noticed she clenched her fists and she continued. "AND HUNTER, I HATE YOU! GO TO F****** HELL, YOU WH***S!! BECAUSE OF YOU, EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE IS SHATTERED INTO PIECES!" she screamed, almost breaking my eardrums. Then she turned to me.

"I just realized... If it wasn't for you, none of this would has happened! If Mom didn't help you, we could've still happy, she could've still been alive!" she growled, anger flashing in her eyes as she slowly walked towards me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, slowly getting hurt from her words. "Everything could've been great.... If that night never happened...." she spat, already glaring at me. "Kisses, I-." I started but got was pushed against a tree and she did what I never thought Kisses Oakheart would ever do.

She started to hit and fight me.

"Kisses, what the hell?!" I asked, unsure what to feel. She didn't respond. Fury clouded her eyes... But it was glistening with tears... I didn't fight back or anything but... What happened to the Kisses I once knew? "That's enough." An authoritative voice ordered. We both turned to see... Kisses' dad and DP!?

Kisses was in utter shock but reluctantly moved away and I still didn't know how to react. Before me or Kisses could say anything, Kisses' dad continued. "Kisses. House. Now. We have a lot things to talk about..." he ordered. He did a protective stance as he glanced at me. Guess I should've seen that coming, being the daughter of the person who killed his wife and all.

My eyes go to DP, who looks just as concerned and confused as he was back at his house. But now there was shock and... fear. Our eyes meet but was short lived when he turns to the two retreating figures as the soil under them crunches, as if nothing happened a few seconds ago.

I looked down on my body, and as expected, nothing to serious happened, physically at least. A few minutes later, DP finally spoke. "Why did she hurt you?". I stayed quiet. He sighed. "Are you okay, then?" he asked again. I nodded, still recovering from what happened, mentally and physically.

"How did you find us?" I asked as I internally winced from how frail and quiet my voice was. "That's not important. Right now, let's go to the house. You need some food, water, and rest, stat. Then you can tell me what happened." Before I could decline, he was already dragging me back.
