(Aria's POV)

What is love? Is love nothing but a strong feeling towards a beloved one? How does it feel, to be loved? Why does everyone describe it as a beautiful thing? All it has ever done to me is leave behind a cold feeling in my heart.

The closest feeling was when I got my puppy when I was around 5. I never felt so happy in my life. Until something happen. I was outside eating ice cream but my mom was at work. When she came back, she didn't see my puppy so she ran over her. I never felt so much pain.

So here I sat in my car driving around thinking about love listening to Ed Sheeren. I pulled into the driveway of a park. I jumped out the car and walked over to a bench. I didn't recognize anyone. That's when it hit me, I am officially lost.

I suddenly remembered why I'm here. I closed my eyes and rested my head in between my hands. I let out a few tears. Just when I thought my life was coming together. I jumped when I heard a voice. "Hey are you alright there?"

I looked up and saw a girl I've never seen. She had really blue eyes like the ocean and her brown hair made them pop out. Not literally.

I looked up and wiped my tears quickly and flashed my famous fake smile. "Yeah everything's just fine." She raised he eyebrow. "Last time i checked, crying on a random bench isn't fine. Come on." She said as she motioned me to walk with her.

"There's this really cool diner where I go to everyday after school." I looked back at my car and motioned the girl to look over there. "We'll come back later. And I guess your parents are loaded."

We continued walking when I noticed I didn't even know the girls name. "Hey so what's your name?" "I'm Hope. Yes, H- O- P- E. And what's your name?" "Aria. It's my nickname but I don't really like my full name." She nodded when she came to a halt when we were infront of this small diner but honestly, it looked really cool.

As we walked in, most people turned their attention to us an waved at Hope. "Hey Hope! Whose this?" Asked this older lady with the same features as Hope. "Mom, this is Aria! I met her at the park." She said smiling. "We'll welcome Aria! Sit, come on."

After ordering, the food was given to us and Hope's mom said it's on the house. Me being me, I said I would pay for it but she kept insisting. So here I was, eating lunch with a girl I just met today and blabbering about my personal life.

"Wait so this Nyjah kid could have a child? Damn that's something." She immediately heard what she said and then apologized. "No it's okay, don't apologize. I mean I would say the same thing." After lunch I decided to go home because I was tired. That, and Nyjah's been texting me non stop for about 10 minutes now.

"Hey I got to go, text me so we could hang out and thanks for the 'therapy' session." I said chuckling at the end. "Yeah well bye!" Hope said as I climbed into my car. I waved one more time before I drove off. I set my iPhone GPS to Nyjah's home address and drove and drove and drove until I got home.

Is he the dad? If he is I would go back to my 'home' and ask Ryan for forgivness. Even if I did nothing wrong. I would want to give Alex a father figure that my 'dad' never gave me. I don't want to be the person in between a perfect, happy family. I want everyone around me happy, even if I'm not because life isn't about what I have or how much I have because really? At the end, all that matters to me is how I effected others. I don't care about money,fame, popularity,etc.

So here I am in Nyjah's driveway with my head on my steering wheel. Why? Because I am not as happy or strong as everyone thinks I am. I wiped my tears and checked if I had any tears left. I got out my car and locked it as I was walking up to the stairs. Here goes nothing. Just when I was about to knock, the door swung open and I was engrossed by a pair of arms. After he let go, I looked at him. Looking into his eyes. Pain and regret. "We need to talk..."

Those words. The four little words that caused me so much pain. So I guess Nyjah is a father. A father. Father. Father. Father. Father. No matter how much times I thought of it, I can't bare to believe it.

I walked past Nyjah and to the sofa. I didn't look up but I felt his eyes burning into the side of my head. He got up to go to the kitchen and came back with a paper. He handed me a orange big envelope and motioned me to open it. So here it is. I opened it and closed my eyes. I reopened them and began to read.

NYJAH IMANI HUSTON IS ECLUDED AS THE BIOLIGICAL FATHER OF ALEXANDER DAVID HARRISON.

When I read the first sentence, I didn't know what to do. I just gave the letter back to Nyjah and rested my head in my hands. When I felt Nyjah's hand on my band, I flinched. Why? I honestly don't know. He took his hand back and gave me a huge. I pulled away and got up. I went up to my room and slammed the door.

I locked the door and cried. After a while I saw it was 3:37 am. Hours worth of crying and I still have the same amount of pain I started with. I crawled into my bed for the last time and fell asleep right away.

NEXT DAY

I woke up with a pounding headache and big bags under my eyes. My hair was greesy and dull. I quickly hopped into the shower and I got out after I finished. I put on a pair of jeans and a white tank top with a dream catcher on it. I put on my black Vans and put my on my glasses. Fuck you contacts.

I packed everything I own and set it in the huge closet. I climbed down the stairs and there was no one. I went into the kitchen and no one. I shrugged and took out a bowl and my favorite cereal with milk. When I was finished I washed my plates and walked up the stairs. Stupid stairs. I was about to go to my room when I decided to see if Nyjah was okay. He did just figure out he has a child.

I walked over to his room and knocked. No answer. After 5 minutes of patience, I tip toed into the room and saw Nyjah knoced out. I sat on the edge of the bed where he wasn't on. I don't know why but I climbed into bed with him and snuggled into his back. His scent has never smelt to memorizing.

"I love you Ariella. I'm so sorry for the pain I've caused you." Suddenly his breathing fastened. He's crying? "I l-love you too but I think I need to go away for a while. You know, you with Alexander and me with my future." "Please don't go away forever. I need you in my life Aria, you leaving will cause me the most pain I've ever felt." "Nyjah, it's not going to be forever. Just a month or maybe a couple. I want Alexander to have a father figure. Please don't make this any harder." "Please don't" Nyjah said in a tone I've never heard. A broken tone.

He turned around and looked at me. His eyes full of tears and pain. His eyes are bloodshot. "Promise me your not going to forget me?" I nodded and hugged him. "Promise." I said into his ear.

5 HOURS LATER

I sat here in the car watching rain drops roll down the passengers seat. Your probably womdering what the hell is going on right? Well after tears and hugs, Nyjah agreed to take me to the airport where I was wound to go back home. So that's why I am in a car.

"So we're here." I nodded and we got out the car with my luggage and into the airport. After getting checked or whatever (Yes we get twice or more at my airport) we went to where my gate was. My plane was boarding in a couple of minutes so I waited until they announced it. We sat in silence until I broke it.

"Nyjah I really do love you, I just need -" That's when I was interupted by Nyjah's lips on mine. "I love you and don't forget that. I don't love anyone else but you. Only you so don't forget that. When you come back, our lives are going to be perfect. We're going to get engaged an married and have kids but please don't forget about me. I love you Ariella and one day I would love to have the honor of you having my last name." He said with his eyes watering.

"FLIGHT 12! FLIGHT 12!"

I looked up at Nyjah and kissed him one more time before leaving back to where my so called home is. I turned around and Nyjah has a year come down his cheek. I waved one more last time before I went on the flight and left back 'home.'

Did I make the right decision? I mean of course I did right? I can't be questioning myself now. A bit too late. I guess I will have to wait and see.
