Love me, anyway. (Sparia)

Chapter 11

Spencer:

-Okay, so... remember when you told me that Aria was acting weird?

-Yeah.

-Well, I actually know why.

-And you haven't told me!? Why would you hide it and act like if you didn't know?

-Because she wanted me to! She asked me to keep it as a secret, so that's what I did.

-But... is it something bad?

-No, no at all. So, if you think that she has someone hidden in her closet -she said grinning- or something, don't worry, because it's nothing serious. Or not like that, at least.

-Could you just tell me? You're killing me. And so is her.

-Do you have any idea of what it might be?

Aria:

I was in Hanna's house, lying in her bed while she was sitting on the floor.

-Should I invite Em and Spencer? -she asked

-No.

-Okay... someone's not feeling very friendly, uh?

I didn't answer, so the silence filled the room again.

-I'm... gay. -I whispered

-I know. -she said without even looking at me

-What? -I said with my eyes wide open

-What? -she replied with a confused look

-I just... said that out loud?

-Yeah. -she said shrugging- I don't mind it, though. But I guess that you already know that. I mean, Emily.

-Actually... I'm not. I just... ugh! I can't do this! -I complained and left myself fall again in the bed

-Why are you acting like this? -she said turning around and looking at me- I'm telling you that it's fine! I'm not even surprised! It's normal!

-I don't know, okay!? -I said suddenly standing up

-Do you like me or something?

-No.

-Then I don't understand. You don't have a reason to be like this.

-I don't want to talk anymore. -I said sitting down again

-Can we at least talk about things that aren't related to that subject? Or you don't want to talk at all?

Spencer:

-I only have one theory of what might be going on, but I'm not sure.

-Well, go, then.

-What? Go where?

-To talk with her. If you think you know what is it, go tell her.

-But-

-Just go! -she insisted

So I gave up. I called her but she didn't answer, so I called Hanna, who told me that they were both in her house.
When I got there Aria was lying in the bed and Hanna was in the floor.

-Aria.

They both looked at me with a surprised expression.

-How did you even get in here? -Hanna asked with a frown

-Your mom let me in. Aria -I said looking at her- can we talk? Like, in private?

Even if we weren't actually close, I could see that she was nervous. I felt bad, because I was, for sure, going to make her even more nervous.
