Stringed Love

|Chapter 3|

Aria woke up in the morning with Brian's arms wrapped around her body. She looked at the clock "9:39 am" it read, she tried to shut her eyes to go back to sleep but she couldn't she kept thinking of last night. She loved him and she didn't want to lose him no matter what. As her thoughts were spinning around she felt Brian move as if checking to see if she was awake. She turned on her back to look up at him "Good morning." She looked up at him smiling. "Good morning beautiful." He said leaning down to kiss her. They just laid there looking at each until Brian's phone started ringing in the kitchen he got up grabbed shorts and put them on walking down the hall to the phone. She sat up in the bed and put on Brian's shirt that laid on the floor. She went over to the window and looked at the beautiful day outside she saw kids running around the streets, parents in heavy conversation, and cars slowly driving by. She heard Brian coming down the hall then walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her resting his head on her shoulder. "The band just called they want to meet for an emergency rehearsal in twenty minutes." He said with a sigh. She turned around to face him putting her arms around his neck. "I guess that means I should head out too. My roommates probably are wondering where I am, and I have class at eleven so.." He kissed her on the lips then trailed down her neck "But I want you to stay for a few more minutes." Brian pleaded with a smirk holding her tighter. She laughed "I guess a few minutes won't hurt."

She was sitting in class later that day trying her hardest to pay attention but between Eva asking fifty questions about where she was and her thinking about Brian. "Aria? Aria! Are you eve listening to me?" Eva demanded. "Huh what?" Aria answered breaking out of her gaze. Eva rolled her eyes "What is going on with you today? First you were missing yesterday not telling anyone where you were then you're almost late to class. What the fuck is going on?" Eva looked at her with a look that could guilt even the worst criminal. She sighed "Eva, I'm fine just kind of out of it today, and yesterday I was with someone who wouldn't do anything so you should not be worried about me at all." Aria looked at her seeing that Eva was a little hurt by it. Eva grabbed her things and went to leave, Aria grabbed her bag and chased after her "Eva! Wait!" Eva stopped and turned around "You know I'm basically your big sister and if you don't come back for that long I was worried and I was this close to calling the damn police! Aria you need to focus on your schooling not some boy you just met." Aria looked at Eva in shock over what she just said. "Eva.... He is not just some boy. I think I might love him!" Eva scoffed and walked away leaving Aria standing there alone.

It was late into the afternoon and Aria was at the park just sitting on the bench looking towards the lake. Clouds were coming in but she didn't care she had no where to go she didn't know Brian's number and she couldn't go back to her dormitory because of Eva. She sat there with tears running down her face then the rain started to fall slowly then into a downpour. She didn't move even though it came down harder. She felt someone watching her behind her, but she didn't turn around. All of a sudden there was no rain falling on her she looked up to see Brian behind her holding an umbrella over her head. She got up and walked behind the bench to him "What are you doing here?" she asked. He smiled "I called your phone but you weren't there. They said you would probably be here." He could tell she was upset "Are you ok Aria?" He asked looking down at her. She looked away from him but he took his hand a pulled her chin up to him "Aria.. You can tell me anything.. What's wrong?" She looked at him "Eva said I should focus on my schooling instead of a boy I've just met. Which I don't think is true at all because I.." She stopped what she was saying before letting her feelings slip out. He looked at her confused "Because of what?" he said moving closer to her "Is it because you love me?" He asked. She nodded her head slowly not looking at him. He laughed a little "But Aria. I love you too." He pulled up her chin and kissed her passionately letting the umbrella fall to his side letting the rain fall on them.

The next day after Brian took her home she headed out to the record store to find new bands. She couldn't help but notice this guy staring at her the whole time she was there. Until he walked up to her he had tight flared pants, a leather jacket, and long hair. His style was unique and yet crazy. "Hello." The mysterious guy said. Aria looked at him "Hi." he was standing next to her just looking at her "You're dating Brian right?" He asked and she looked at him confused "Uh yea? Who are you?" she asked him standing back a little. "I'm Fred Bulsara. Otherwise known as Freddie by others." He held out his hand she reached out and shook it "I'm Aria James. Um how do you know Brian?" She asked looking at him. his name was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she heard it. "Oh I'm friends with Roger and Tim. They are in a band with Brian." She looked at him smiling "Oh I think I've heard of you a few times. I've always wanted to meet you!" He smiled at her "I've heard a lot about you and I wanted to see for myself how sweet and beautiful you are." She smiled blushing a little "Oh that's what Brian tells us and I can see he is right." Freddie laughed and so did she. They stood there for while just talking to each other about themselves and their music tastes. "Want to go grab some food then head over to see the band rehearsal?" He asked. She agreed and they headed out to lunch, but little did they know they would become best friends.
