Won't Stop Till We Surrender

Chapter Nine

~ Poor Girl ~

Great. Now Aria will never forgive me. It was my fault that Emily had slapped her. And it is my fault that Emily broke up with me. All the boys thought I was dating her because I wanted to make Aria jealous or because I wanted a shag. But that’s not true.o I actually liked her. I blew my chances with her. Altogether. And my chance with Aria. I don’t know why I kissed her.

It just seemed like her lips were begging to kissed. I thought that when I kissed her I could charm her into liking me, but I guess not. I just…I’ve never liked a girl this much and its totally making me crazy.

At first when I heard her sqealing and crying. I thought she was overexaggerating. But her cheek is so red and its puffy. You can even see Emily’s handprint clearly on her face.

“Aria, I’m so sorry. I just-” Emily tried to explain but Aria yelled at her, “Get out!” She had every right to. If Emily was going to slap someone it might as well be me. Afterall, I kissed Aria right?

Emily opened her mouth to say something, but then closed it. and opened it again;  she looked like a fish. She turned around and left.

Aria clutched on Liam’s shoulder and cried into the crook of his neck. It made me jealous. Even though he was just being comforting and the nice lad he was. Not to mention he has Danielle. Who is lovely.

“Liam, it…it hurts so much.” She said wiping away her tears. He nodded. “Just put the ice pack on it. Okay, love?” Liam asked as he inspected her cheek. She nodded. Aria kissed his cheek as she hopped off the counter.

“Thank you so much, Li.” She smiled at him. “What would I do without my best friend?” He hugged her.

They walked into the living room. I turned my head at the telly, pretending I hadn’t been eavesdropping and watching their every move. Chloe playfully glared at Liam, because Aria had called him her best friend.

Aria sat between Liam and Louis. She rested her head on Louis’ shoulder. “Who knew all this drama would happen while we just came to visit our friends?” Louis said. We all laughed.

“Harry… Can I talk to you?” Chloe asked. I nodded and we walked into the kitchen. She looked at me as if she was trying to figure something out. Chloe shook her head.

“Aria is fragile. She will literally break at any moment. And her heart is confused, you’re not helping by kissing her and then getting a girlfriend.” I rolled my eyes. Chloe glared at me.

“And then kissing her while you have a girlfriend. As I said before she is fragile and Aria is very emotional. Don’t mess this up.”

Chloe said as she looked over my shoulder at Aria. I turned around and looked at her too.

Aria looks scared… and broken too. “Is…is that because of me?” I asked turning back to face Chloe.

“You mean the way she looks so frightened. Yeah. That’s what happens to her. She gets so confused sometimes. Aria gets scared that someone she loves and cares about is going to hurt her.” Chloe glanced up at me. “And that’s what you’re doing.” She said pointing at my chest.

“You’re confusing her, which makes her scared. I don’t really understand why, but thats how she is.” Chloe glanced at me once more, before walking back to the couch. I just stood there. Thinking about what I had just been told.

I walked back to the living room, before they thought something was wrong.

Aria hld the ice pack to her cheek an the swelling went down. “Oh. I forgot I have to go to Wal-Mart, to pick up somethings for my parents.” Aria said, as she got up. I said the words before I even thought about them. Like word vomit.
