Aria's p.o.v.

I ran. Well duh. But I snuck across the roof silently, my bare feet burning on the shingles. I quick reached the area above the garage, I say on the edge and hopped onto Matthews car. It sucks that Hayes and I only have 1 car because otherwise I coulda drove. My heart thumped as I ran farther from my home. I ran around the corner, I had no shoes on so the pavement burned my feet. I ran to Nash's house, since he lived a few blocks away.

"Nash please open up!" I scream, tears freely flowing.

"Woah woah woah!" He says, opening the door. "What happened to you?" He asks, inviting me in. He shuts the door and takes me into the living room.

"Matthew is at my house and he says he's going to take me. I was so scared!" I say, collapsing on the couch.

"Shhhhh... It's fine. Did he say why he wanted you?" Nash asks, sitting next to me.

"N-no?" I reply, looking up at him.

"Shhhhh... Do you want to call Hayes and tell him your safe?" Nash asks, grabbing his phone. I nod and grab his phone from him.

"Nash?" Hayes asks once he answered.

"N-no it's me..." I reply shakily.

"Oh my god I'm so glad you're okay!" He says.

"I'm fine... I'm just at Nashs." I reply, my chest going up and down slowly.

"Stay there. I'm on my way." He says. I smile and say okay. We exchange our goodbyes, my heart feeling a lot better. I ask Nash if I could use the restroom. He said of course. I said thanks and ran up the steps. I looked in the mirror until I almost threw up, not at myself but my stomach. I started pueking , (in the toilet luckily), and cried. My stomach has on and off days and today isn't a good one.

"You good Ari?" Nash asks from the door. I stand up and clean my mouth off.

"Y-yea..." I say walking out. Nash embraces me in a hug.

"You can tell me if something's wrong... I'll always be here for you." He says, protectively wrapping his hands around me.

"Okay... You might want to sit down for this." I reply, flashing a small smile. He leads me back downstairs and into the living room.

"Now tell me what that was all about." He says, sitting next to me.

"Nash... I think I'm pregnant." I reply. He looks up at me wide eyed.

"Are you late on ur time of the month? How do you know? Is that why you were pueking?! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO NAME THE BABY??!" Nash rambles, looking at me.

"I thought I was pregnant but I took the test and it was 1 line, not pregnant. But I just threw my guts up upstairs and my stomach feels sick and my body is acting strange. N-Nash... I'm only 20 and w-what will Hayes do if he finds out? W-what if he l-leaves me?" I ask, tears flowing out of my eyes again. He pulls me in for a hug again and rubs my back.

"Hayes will never leave you. You're right about being young and I know your afraid. Hopefully the test is right and you don't have to be worried about it anymore... Maybe the sickness is just a phase or something..." He says trying to cheer me up. A few minutes later, we hear a knock at the door. Nash goes to open it, leaving me on the couch.

"Where's Aria." A voice says. I freeze. That's not Hayes.

"Aria? She's not here?" Nash lies, protecting me.

"Cut the shit. I know she's here." He says again. I silently get up and make my way to the back door.

"Dude I swear she's not." Nash replies.

"Can I come in then?" He asks, again trying to get in.

"No Matthew. If Hayes catches you here you're dead." Nash says, stalling. I silently make my way through the house.

"Well he's not gonna! Right Nash?" He asks angrily. I shake at his name. I find myself in the kitchen and start unlocking the back door.

"Maybe I'll tell him." Nash replies, man oh man will he make a good husband one day.

"NASH! Let me in!" Matt says. I quick open the door and run out, sprinting through the back yard. I run through the pool yard until I reach the brown fence lining the property. I climb over it and land down in the neighboring yard. I can't risk going in the street so I run to the next place I could think of, the library. It's close to my house but he'll never suspect me there... I hope. I ran across the lawns, reaching my street. When I make it out to the road I see a white van down the street, parked in front of Nash's house. I don't spend another second looking and I sprint to the library. I go in and run to the very back, earning a few looks. I forgot I didn't have shoes on and completely ignored the fact that people were looking at me. I sat in a chair and pulled my phone out.

"Hayes," I whisper. "I'm at the library, please come quickly. Matt found me at Nashs so I came here..." I say, almost crying again.

"Shhh it's okay baby I'll be there in 3 minutes." He replies.

"Okay... I have no clue why I came here but please just hurry." I reply, a single tear sliding down my face.

"Okay. I love you so much. And don't you dare say it back because I want you to say it when I get there and save you." I smile and wipe the tear.

"Okay... See you in a few." I reply, pressing the end button. I just sit there with my legs pressed to my chest. As I was waiting I see a man come in, shades and dark brown hair. He looks around for a bit and i start sweating. Is he here for me? Before I knew it, he was getting closer and closer. I start standing up until he spots me and walks quickly over.

"I'm Sammy... And you are going to have to come with me."
