Love Trap (Slow Updates)

Seventy Two.

Aria's pov;

Emily's journal lied on the floor, right in front of my feet. My punctured heart could burst out of my chest and fall on the floor any moment now.

Emily steadied herself before carefully standing back up, her back towards me. I felt my feet sink on the floor underneath me, eating me alive, taking me into darkness as Harry's jaw was on the floor and his eyes were nowhere near me. They were indifferent of my presence, all they cared for was the figure in front of me. The tall slim figure. The characteristic ocean blue eyes, the naturally straight blonde hair and the statement red lips. Three of the many features Harry grew to love, the things he would die for and leave me for. There she was, in front of him, allowing him to leave me.

He shook his head and blinked, he seemed unable to comprehend her presence. The girl he loves, the girl he knew to be dead and burried, was alive and well in front of his own bare eyes. "I-I..." He stuttered.

"No" I shook my head. "No, no, no" I said, my tears that were slowly bulding up in my eyes, threatening to spill down my cheeks.

"E-Em... Emily?" He asked. His voice was small, weak and vulnerable.

"Harry" She said, her voice shaky. But I knew that was all an act.

"Oh my..." He run up to her and closed his arms around her tight. I ached as he had no intention of taking notice of my presence. He knew I was there, but he didn't give a shit and I would lie if I said I didn't expect that, even if I don't want to think so badly of him.

"Oh my god, Harry. It's been so long" She said.

"You- you're dead" He stuttered. His eyes were fluttered shut, taking in her figure as he held her tight.

"I never was. I was trapped here" She said.

My jaw dropped to the floor at the amount of lying she has started to build up. And the worst part is that she and I both know, Harry will believe them all.

"What?" He asked, pulling away from her. His hands cupped her cheeks and he looked into her eyes. Selfishly of me, I felt jealousy creep up inside. They looked too good together in my eyes, even if she didn't deserve him, they were shaped for one another.

"Aria" She pulled away from his grip to look at me, mischief written all over her eyes, but so hidden to Harry, it only made an appearance to me.

"Harry, listen to me. Whatever she tells you, she's lying" I said.

"Don't believe her. She's working with Stone. She has been working with him longer than you thought, Harry. They took me from you, then kept me in here away from you. They faked my death, they manipulated you. All along, her and Josh were behind all of this" Emily spilled. I could not believe my ears. She was somehow stealing my own identity, scheming in her mind.

"What?" Harry asked, flatly.

"She's lying Harry! I would never do that to you!" I shook my head.

"If I could, I would have come to you sooner, but they wouldn't let me. I tried to sneak out today, I found her in here, looking at my journal and when I tried to take it, she punched me. You saw it for yourself. I miss you so much Harry, please, get me out of here" She said.

"What? No! That's not true. Oh my god, I would never ever do that" I said.

"All she has said to you was a lie. Her stories about Yale, all of that was bullshit. She wanted to lure you in and I tried to stop her but she kept manipulating me" Emily said.

I didn't know what to do. I was frozen in place and my mouth was sealed, unable to open.

"That's... That's why you kept asking me questions about her. About Emily  this is why you were asking if I would leave you if I found out she was alive. Because you knew she was and you were afraid she would escape" Harry said. His words cut like knives, they cut my already hurt insides and my stomach twisted.
