Biggest mistake (Complete)

Chapter 21

I have to be quick since everyone else seems to be ready. I quickly decide on a navy blue dress that has crystal sleeve cuffs. My hair, oddly enough, is actually pretty as is, and is naturally wavy right now.

I run downstairs to everyone, hoping that everyone's getting along. Erica has been on her best behavior with them at home, but I know for a fact that she wants to go at the guys. And then there's John , who kind of knows what all went down, but not all the gory details.

I'm shocked to see everyone laughing at something when I enter the living room. Well this is not at all what I expected. They all look over at me, still laughing, and start to get up to head for the door. Apparently I'm not going to be in on the joke.

We all decided to just walk to the restaurant since it's 5 minutes away and such a nice day. Immediately, it seems that we all start to couple up on the sidewalk, Erica and John leading, followed by Kayla and Michael, finishing with Me and Spencer.

I start to just look around at my surroundings, feeling too tired to join in the current conversation. I see Spencer lean over to me and be whispers in my ear, "You look so beautiful Aria."

I look over at him, and he looks me over sincerely, not full of lust, but with love in his eyes. It makes it so I can't help but blush. When he notices this, he takes one of his hands and places it on my cheek, "So beautiful."

"Hey weirdos in the back, cute moment but we're here and food matters more than anything right now!" Yells Erica. Spencer and I jump back at the sound of her voice. Breaking out of our moment we head into the restaurant a bit awkwardly. But Erica is right, food is the most important thing.

"We are seared at a large round table in a private room, and luckily for us, we have a clear view of the ocean surrounding us. Greece is certainly beautiful, and it sad knowing I will be leaving it soon. But it's time to go home, I need to see my family and friends. And see if I could ever trust Spencer again.

I look around the table, and can't help the surge of jealousy I have for all the couples. I wish more than anything it was this easy for me and Spencer, and it sucks.

"Hey what's wrong?" Spencer asks, knowing that I seem off.

I try to give him a smile, as if to say nothing, not in the mood to speak, and he gets the message.

He puts a hand on my knee, giving it a squeeze, before going back to the conversation between everyone. I hate how much his gesture makes me smile.

It doesn't take long before the food gets to our table, and all conversation stops because we all know we need to give it our undivided attention. I got lobster and let me tell you, it definitely put me in a better mood.

I was able to get out of my funk, and before long, it's time for us to go home. While walking back, Spencer grabs my hand, and before I can pull away, he squeezes it and gives me a look that says don't you dare.

Not feeling like arguing, I let him keep my hand. This just brings back all of the good memories we had when together. It's been a day and I'm already feeling this conflicted. I never thought I'd be the type of girl who would even consider forgiving a cheater, but here I am. And he hasn't even tried winning me back yet. Or, at least not long enough.

All of a sudden, Spencer embraces me. We are right in front of the house, it seems that my thoughts have invaded my mind the whole walk.

"Look, I know that your having a hard time, and that I hurt you, hurt you so damn bad. And I know all of this is confusing to you, and that you love me but don't trust me. But I will fight for you, hell I will fight for you even if you forgive me. I'm sorry to put you through everything, make you even consider things you are so strongly against. I know you feel like a hypocrite and weak for even letting me be by you. And I am so sorry. And I will Be sorry for the rust of my life. But I'm not going anywhere. Yes you deserve better, but I can't live without you anymore, and so I'm going to fight. Even when we were apart, I was devastated, but I still loved you. Hell I went through the same internal fight as you, and that's why I kept being so cruel. We both went through a lot, and we need to heal. But I'm so sorry Aria" Spencer speaks to me, tears flooding his eyes.

He did go through the same thing, but he was so cruel to me. But one thing is that I gave up. Neither one of us lived up to our vows.
