Don't forget to read AngelicDeluxe books. She is a good friend of mine and she is very talented.

Aria ~

"Let's go Aria " Allison pushes me out of room.

"I am fine Allison " I tell her

"No you're not "she says

"I don't care about him Allison. It was his decision. I can't do much about it " I tell her as we walk upstairs.

"Aria did you know that Emerson is his mate ?" Allison asks me

"His what ?" I shake my head while trying to understand what she just said.

"Aria " a voice calls. I turn back and see Stuart.

"Hey Stuart " Allison says

"It's good to see you again Allison " he smiles at her

"Is everything okay ?" He asks us

"I am going home " I say

"What do you mean you're going home ?" He asks

"Xavier chose Emerson " I tell him and he shakes his head.

"Wait, what ?" He gasps

"He chose the Luna today. Emerson is the one " I say

"On a scale of one to ten how stupid is he ?" Stuarts asks us as we keep walking upstair.

"10" Allison replies and I ignore his question.

"Aria you can stay at Blake's house. Stay with us for a few days and then you can go back to your house. We will have more time to do things together " Allison suggests.

"Allison I don't thi-" I start but she interrupts me.

"Come on! I've missed. Please Aria " she begs me

"Alright! But just for a few days " I agree and she jumps up and down, clapping her hands like a child.

"We need to pack your stuff " Allison says

"I don't have many things so it won't take long " I tell her and she nods. When we reach my floor, Stuart opens the door for us.

"I will be outside if you need me " he tells us and we nod, leaving him outside.

"Okay I am going to pack my clothes and you can do the rest " I give her my suitcases and she starts putting my things inside.

"I was surprised when he said Emerson's name. I knew that he liked you. I knew that you would be the one from the very first days. There is something between you and him that makes you look perfect together. "Allison explain as I fold my clothes neatly.

" I am sure he will look perfect with Emerson as well" I say and she coughs.

"Come on I'm su-" It's not Allison's voice that interrupts me this time. But is the knock on the door.

"I got it " Allison opens the door, revealing Xavier.

"Xavier " Allison speaks but he ignores her completely. His eyes find me and I am afraid to look away. I just stare back.

"Aria " his voice all of the sudden gets really high just for a second.

"Shouldn't you be with your mate ?" I ask him.

"Wait, how did you find out ?" He looks surprised.

"News travel fast " I snap at him and he sighs. His turn his head around for a second as if he want to calm himself down a little bit.

"Aria I know you're not going to understand but you should know that I am sorry. I don- " I stop him.

"You dont have to explain anything to me. Congratulations Xavier. I am happy for you! I am glad that you found your mate. I understand why you chose her. I just want you to be happy. And if it's not with me that's fine, because you're the only person I have loved enough to put before myself. Seeing you happy, makes me happy! And that's what love is...Right ?" He closes his eyes just for a milliesecond and then he holds my gaze once again. There are a lot oblivious reasons why he doesn't reply.

"I am leaving tonight. I am going to stay with Allison and then I'll go back to my house. There's no point in staying here anymore. " I explain and his face looks like he doesn't understand what I am saying.

"You can leave tomorrow morning " he finally says.

"No it's fine! I am leaving tonight " I insist.

"Aria I wish I could do something. I wish I could do something and kick her out of here. But this is impossible. Now that everyone knows that she is my mate, everyone will turn against me if I reject her " he explains.

"It's okay Xavier. I am glad that you chose her. Since you had a choice between me and her, I am glad that you chose her. Because if you really loved me, there wouldn't be a choice." His mouth forms an 'o' and he hits his head with the back of his hand. 

Words...
Words are so powerfu. The can crush a heart, or heal it. The can shame a soul, or liberate it. The can scatter dreams, or energize them. They can create defences, or melt them. That's why I always choose my words wisely. And that's exactly what I did this time.

"I am sorry Aria " he says and I laugh

"One day you'll be the story that I will tell my daughter. I will tell her about that man who saved me first and then destroyed me. And I'll tell her how it hurt. And then I will tell her how it got better. How it got better and stopped hurting. Twenty years from now I will look back and remember that you were that one person who could turn every frown into a smile. That one person that carried tears on your shoulders after every death and difficult situation. But you know what ? I'll get over you. And I'll find a man that is everything I need him to be and I'll wonder why I cried for someone like you. "

"Allison ?" A voice says from outside the door so Xavier doesn't have time to reply.

Allison opens the door once again and Blake appears.

"Oh Hi! Am I interrupting something?" Blake asks us.

"No, I am just going to change and we can leave " I say. I am sure that Allison told him that I will be staying with them since he didn't ask anything.

I walk in the bathroom, holding a pear of jeans and a sweater in my arms. I am so glad that I won't have to wear these dresses anymore.

When I walk outside everyone is still there. Looks like they haven't moved an inch since I left.

"I am ready now " I say and Allison nods. Blake calls Stuart so he can help us with my stuff. He carries most things, there is only one suitcase left and Blake insists to take it. Allison follows him outside,leaving me and Xavier alone in the room.

I look around one last time, Xavier notices that.

"You don't have to leave " he tells me

"But I want to " I say. Xavier walks closer to me. I sit frozen. He leans down, his forehead rests on mine. His hands hold my waist.

"Aria"  he whispers slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savor them.

"I have to go " I take a step backwards. I can see the disappointment in his eyes.

"Goodbye Xavier "
