Love Trap (Slow Updates)

Five.

Aria's pov;

From the moment I woke up to the time I got off the shower, Harry's words were replaying in my mind, like a reminder, like a notification button that is pushed all the time, or just like a clock that even if I press snooze, it keeps ringing over and over again.

It is weird to hear those words from him, those motivational words, considering what kind of person he has yet showed me to be. He seems arrogant, a little selfish and a bit compassionate, but maybe that's an act.

But I can never be the one to know. I know he must have a little more heart in him, these words cannot have came out of him out of the blue, it seems like he has done this before, cheer people up when he needs to.

'Do something for you and only you'

I take my phone from my nightstand and text Jayleen. I need her help as well.

Aria; Can I come over? We need to talk.

Jayleen; Sure. Text Jesy too :)

Aria; Will do.

I text Jesy to meet up at Jayleen's, something we have done twice already ever since I met her. It feels like I've known Jesy for years after how many times we talked. We haven't gotten in too deep in our life stories, something which I'm not ready for yet, as memories of my past life in Yale are still fresh in my mind and threaten to stay fresh for a lot longer than I anticipated them to.

I shake that off and get myself a presentable outfit to go see Jayleen, because there is a 90% chance Jordan is there and I can't go looking like a total mess, which is exactly the way I feel.

So a nicer shirt with a nice cardigan it is. It's kind of my thing these days. I used to be a little more into fashion, but I rarely find myself putting a little more effort in what I wear and how I wear it. It seems to me that the only thing I have to keep in mind when getting dressed is a balance between showing skin and covering skin. I've learned that's the best thing to do when you are in college.

I lock my apartment and take a taxi to Jayleen's. I really need to get a licence. I don't trust myself enough to drive a car but it's a necessity.

As Jesy, Jayleen and I are sat in her balcony, they look at me anticipating to say something.

"So? You needed to talk, so speak human" Jayleen said.

"I..." I took a big breath.

"This must be important" Jesy said.

"I sat for 13 hours... In an airport... Waiting for Neels to arrive... And he never came" I said.

"What?!" Jesy and Jayleen said in unison.

"And that's not all" I said. "I called him and he thought he texted me, but he just texted my old number and he didn't bother to call. And why he didn't come on time? He works! Ha! Yeah he said he has work to do, he has special and important opportunities! And what he does about it? He throws the l word. 'You know how much I love you'. Hell no, because you never show it you prick! Yeah I am pretty sure he is cheating on me, even if we're not official" I had my little mental breakdown and breathed slowly to ease my nerves.

"Aria... Neels? Neels did that? I never had it in him" Jayleen said.

"I didn't either, but I was blind enough not to, and now I know the truth" I said.

"How do you even stay so calm? I would have killed him" Jesy said.

"I got piece of advice that helped me a lot" I said.

"From who?" Jayleen raised a brow.

"Do not tell me it is who I think it is" Jesy said.

"It.. It is? He heard me, I had my window open, I didn't pay attention to it, but he was really nice, I swear" I told Jesy.
