Bitter Sweet Youth

Sleepover- Chapter 16

*Suga POV*

"Don't they looks so peaceful and innocent when their asleep?" Arie whispered,couching down next to a sleeping Jimin. She pushed a strand of hair away from his face,and smiled almost motherly.I was standing behind her,just watching. anyone could tell that she loved these guys as her own family.You can see it in her eyes,the way she looks at them.

I stood behind her,arms crossed,trying to understand her a little bit.She is a mystery to me.She's 17,lives alone,causes trouble all the time,and is always positive,despite her supposedly tragic background.She must of noticed me staring,cause she turned around from her crouched position,and looked at me with those stunning shiny emerald eyes,that hold so much emotion in them.I wanted to ask her so bad about her background,but I didn't want to be rood. Which is a first for me.I usually don't care what others think about me,but with her it's different for some reason.She makes me feel nervous.She smiled sweetly than asked "What?" I smiled,and shook my thoughts away. "Nothing" I muttered.She didn't pry,only shrugged and stood up. "You are quite the mystery Suga bear" I couldn't help the feeling of warmness take over me when she called me Suga bear.

I suddenly grew nervous,with just the two of us in the living room,with the rest sleeping.I fiddled with my fingers,looking anywhere other than the girl in front of me.I breathed in nervously,and gestured towards the front door "I should go" I begin to walk over to the front door,but slowed when her small hand wrapped around my wrist,stopping me.She pleaded with her eyes,and I could feel my tough guy shell slowly crumbling. "Please stay the night.You can sleep on the couch in my room.I get lonely when I have to fall asleep by myself" Iv'e never seen this side of her before.Needy,almost like a scared child.The Arie I know is rebellious,witty,confident and tough.I looked back up at her,and sighed defeated.I don't have anyone at home anyway,I thought. "Fine" I said,trying to sound annoyed.She smiled,and quietly clapped her hands,carful not the wake up her friends.I smiled at how adorable this side of her was.

She suddenly interlocked our fingers,and pulled me up the stairs,hand in hand.I blushed slightly,and was glad she couldn't see it.My bigger hands overlapped her soft,small ones.We reached it to the top of the stairs,and stopped in front of a door,I assumed to be her room.She let go of our hands,and I immediately missed the warmth.She opened the door,and gestured for me to go in first "Ladies first" She teased.I rolled my eyes,smiling slightly,and proceeded inside.The room was a shade of light lavender,and was regular sized.I noticed the black velvet couch on the other side of the room,followed by a queen sized bed across from it.She had a white fluffy rug,making it very comforting.I hesitantly stepped in more,suddenly feeling nervous.I heard her chuckle from behind me,and nudge me in. "You make yourself at home,Im going to get some spare blankets and pillows for you" She took of down the hall,skipping happily.I did what she said,and walked further inside,taking in my surroundings.I noticed her bedside stand,with a small fish bowl,and in it,was a silver fish,with big bulging eyes.I turned to the window sill right next to her bed.There was small colorful cactuses decorating the sill.

I ventured over to the huge mirror,with a set of drawers in front of it.I noticed the pictures lining the mirror.I leaned closer to get a closer look.They were all of her and the guys.Some old,and some knew.I smiled at the young Arie,with a boy that I recognized as Tae,smiling widely while holding ice cream,with a messy face.I noticed a poleriod,looks like it was taken recently,of a side profile of Tae.She's really close with him,I noticed. She's close with all of them.One photo caught my eye. It was Arie,in the middle of two older people.They must be her parents,I thought.Her father was kneeling down next to her,smiling,and hugging her lovingly.He looked youthful for his age.Next to her was a beautiful woman who looked a lot like Arie.He long black silky hair hung down to her lower back.Her sparkling grey eyes looked back at me.They were standing in the now abandoned amusement park,in front of the big slides.Arie was holding a snow cone,and had a shirt stained with food.I reached to touch it,but was startled by the sound of Arie bursting in.I quickly drew back my hand,and smiled innocently.Her hands were filled with blankets,some fluffy,some thin.She muffled "I didn't know what kind of blanket you like,so I got all kinds.And I couldn't find a pillow,so you'll have to use one of mine" She wobbled inside,and dropped the heap of blankets on the couch.I smiled,amused by her efforts "I'm not staying forever,you know?" She shrugged,and came to stand beside me. "I know.I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable,thats all" I was flattered by her being so caring.But she's caring to everyone,so I'm not special,I thought. "What are you looking at?" She asked cheerfully.I smiled nervously.I don't want her to think that I'm a creep by looking at her older pictures.Before I could say anything,her smiled faded into a sad one,when laying her eyes upon the pictured with her parents.

She reached her hand up,and caressed it memorably. "I loved that day" She said,smiling sadly.I leaned in to get a better look at her expression.It was gloomy,and saddened.I hesitantly reached my hand up on her shoulder attempting to calm her.I looked nervously from her saddened expression to the picture,not knowing what to do.I blurted "Tell me about them" She looked at me shocked,than asked "My parents? Why would you care?" I rolled my eyes at the stupid question "I'll always care about you Arie.And that means I care for the people you love also" She looked just as taken aback as I was from my own statement.I suddenly got shy,and stuttered "I mean,you i-if you don't want to,i'm cool-" She cut me off by smiling,and saying "Id love to".
