RECAP:
"But we didn't do anything"
"Sooo, this isn't the first time you were sent here?"
"I have neither the time to explain it to you nor even your business to know"
"Your name's Arya, right?"
"Don't you really remember anything of your past?"
"You look so familiar and I don't know why it seems like we've shared some sort of connection with each other a long time ago"
"Tch, whatever shorty"
"He's not that bad after all"
"You promised you would never forget me, then why did you?"

Arya

I slowly entered the house, closing the door behind me as silent as possible to not get spotted on by Darren.

Successfully closing the door shut and also locking it, I tip-toed my way on the hallway to sneak pass the living room only to be busted by Darren.

"And where exactly have you been?"He sternly said peering on the couch as he stood up and walked towards me, his arms crossed.

Sh*t. I'm so screwed!

"Nowhere!"I squeaked as anxiety and fear ran through my veins.

Seriously, Arya?! That's the excuse you've thought?

"Right..."He replied not convinced from my excuse.

'That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard so far'

Oh, shut up subconscious!

"And also why do you have small cuts and bruises on you?"He added, skeptically as he gave me a scrutinizing look.

"O-oh about that, we had a sparring training earlier at the gym. But don't worry I only have minor injuries they're nothing serious" I explained reassuring him.

He went closer to me as he straightly looked me in the eyes. Both of us standing awkwardly in silence until he spoke.

"Tell me..."He started.

Oh crap, this isn't gonna go well.

"Who hurt you?"He asked giving me a familiar creepy look I've seen before, as his tone of voice went deep in a menacing way making me step aback nervously uttered a laugh before I cleared my throat.

*Ahem*

"Look I'm fine Darren, don't worry about it and besides aren't it normal to get injured in doing those type of lessons?"

There was a short pause before he sighed.

"Yes I guess you have a point."He agreed, as I sighed in relief.

"But"He started making me tense up a bit.

"Give me the name."He said in a demanding way making me suprised for not knowing this side of him.

Name?! Oh no, this isn't good...

"Name?! Darren I know what you're gonna do and it's not necessary to do that. Besides he didn't mean to hurt me it was just really part of the training and stuff" I replied making his eyes widen.

"Wait a second, he? You mean it's a guy?!"He uttered, suprised as his face went dim again as he popped his knuckles.

Oh crap what have I done..

"Give me his name, I swear I'll hunt that bastard down for hurting you!"He menacingly replied.

Jeez, yandere mode much? Why is he acting this way all of a sudden? Unless he's–.. no he can't be...

I sighed as I placed both my hands on his cheeks and looked genuinely straight into his greyish-brown eyes, making him suprised from my sudden movements. I gave him a warm reassuring smile as he started to calm down.
