*ARIA'S P.O.V* *THE NEXT DAY*
"Woah Aria, what happened? I could smell the blood from a mile away!" Jake asked as I walked into the kitchen.
"I got into a fight." I told him simply before going to grab a yogurt from the fridge.
"You got into a fight? With who? And why're you up so early?"
"Does it matter? And I'm leaving early to go to Seth's, he's driving me to school today."
"Doesn't Seth usually pick you up later? Like at eight?"
"Don't you have a lot of questions. I don't know, I think I'll just walk to Seth's every morning, get some air." I told him.
"Are you feeling okay?" Jake asked while putting his hand up to my forehead.
"Perfectly fine." I replied, giving him a fake smile.
Just as Jake was about to say something, I heard Sabrina's voice upstairs. "Jake?"
"Gotta go, see you later." I told him before grabbing my bag and heading out to Seth's.
"Hey Mrs. Clearwater." I said as I walked in and spotted her in the kitchen of her house. It was about 7:30 right now, I would usually get up at about 8, but I wanted to avoid Sabrina as much as possible.
"Aria! How are you sweetie? Why're you here so early and what happened to your cheek?!" She asked, genuinly concerned as she pulled me into a hug.
"I got into a fight with my sister, and lets just say that I might've pushed her too far."
"Oh, Aria. I told you, one of these days you're going to end up hurting yourself. Sometimes you're too headstrong for your own good. I know, I used to be like that." She said as she went to grab a clean cloth and ran a little water over it and then dabbed it on my cheek to clean up the leftover bloody look.
"I know, I'm stupid sometimes. But oh well, things were said, she made me mad, I couldn't help it!"
"It's okay, sweetie. We all love you regardless. Seth's upstairs sleeping, if you want to go join him. You look like you need the sleep." She said as she placed a hand on my shoulder in a comforting manner.
"Thanks, Mrs. Clearwater, for everything."
"No problem, sweetie, and call me Sue. I don't need to have my future daughter in law calling me 'Mrs. Clearwater." She smiled, which I gladly returned.
After that, I went to Seth's room. When I walked in, he was sleeping soundly, turned on his side. He looked like a little kid. I took my shoes off and crawled in next to him. He shifted around and then draped his arm around me, enveloping me in his warmth.
"A-Aria?" I heard him mumble.
I turned to see if he was awake, but he wasn't. I guess he was just dreaming. I fell asleep facing his warm chest.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
We were awoken by the annoying sound of the worst thing ever invented, the alarm clock. I felt Seth reach over me to his bedside table and start feeling around for his phone. Once he was successful, he brought it up to him and turned off the alarm.
"Aria? When did you get here? What happened to your cheek?!" He asked sluggishly, waking up more at the sight of my wounded cheek.
"Your mom let me in earlier and I got into a fight last night." I told him as I got up.
"Oh, who'd you fight with? And why'd they do that to you?" He asked curiously as he stood up and went over to his dresser to grab clothes.
"Sabrina." I stated simply.
"Sabrina, did that?" He asked, disbelief distinct in his voice.
"Yup, she pushed me a bit too much over the edge, I just pushed on harder."
"And you got hurt. Aria, when are you going to learn?" He asked, pushing a strand of my hair behind my ear.
"Never."
"You're going to push the wrong person and you're going to have worse injuries than just your cheek. I don't want that to happen to you. If it does, if it ever happened, I'll, I'll, I'll kill them!"
"Seth, that won't happen. Promise."
"Aria, you can't make a promise you can't keep." He told me before turning around and heading for the bathroom.
I waited for him in his room and then we headed out to Forks to get our usual coffee before school.
"Seth,do you ever-, nevermind." All that I could think about was Sabrina trying to have sex with Embry. I wonder if she ever did...
"Do I ever what?" He asked as we walked towards his car.
"Do you ever think about having kids?"
"Where did that question come from?" He snorted.
"Forget I asked." I sighed, looking around, trying to ignore the awkwardness that had overtaken our peaceful walk.
"Aria, tell me." Seth stopped and turned to face me.
"Sabrina...Sabrina was trying to have sex with Embry." I blurted out, looking down at my hands.
"What?"
"I walked in on her and Em about to fuck each other. It just made me think. Forget that I asked okay?" I told him, walking to the car and getting in.
"It made you think about us doing it, didn't it?" Seth asked after getting in the car with me.
"Y-Yeah. But we don't need to...right? We don't need it to be closer to each other." I looked up and into his eyes, that were currently staring right into mine.
"I guess there's only one way to find out." He replied, starting the car.
"What do you mean?" I looked at him curiously.
"I mean that we should try it."
"Do you mean-"
"Yeah."
I looked at him in disbelief as he started driving in the direction of the rez. I couldn't help but think about what could happen. Actually, I don't care what'll happen.
*SABRINA'S P.O.V*
"Sabrina, where's Aria? I haven't seen her or Seth all day." Paul asked me. "She owes me."
"What does she owe you? Did you finally win a bet?" Jake asked as we walked into the cafeteria.
"Yes, I did. For once." The guys laughed at this. Paul finally won a bet that he had made with Aria.
"Where is Aria? She left the house at the time that I got back from patrol."
"Why do you guys want to know where she is so badly?!" I yelled at them. When Aria is here, they talked to her, when she isn't here, they talk about her! Ugh!
"Woah, calm down. I'm just worried about her." Jake told me.
"I need my partner in crime. Biology was so boring without her." Paul replied.
"Of course it was. Of course you all miss Aria." I said before storming out of the cafeteria.
Of course they were talking about Aria. She's so perfect and outgoing. She's everything that I'm not. It's not fair! I wish she would just disappear sometimes, and then maybe people would stop talking about her and talk to me. Actually no, Aria disappearing would just cause everyone to talk even more about her. Why did I have to be a twin? Especially the lesser known twin. Everyone mistakes me for Aria, it's never the other way around. Everyone likes her better and no one even bothers to give me a second glance. Why?
