Aria's P.O.V.

That night, I couldn't stop thinking about seeing Bryce at Monet's and the disgusting things that he had the nerve to say to me. Then, Hannah's voice filled my head as she talked about the night that Bryce had taken advantage of her. It brought tears to my eyes thinking about her. I thought that I would have come to terms with it by now, but I was still struggling with it. I let out a small sob into my pillow, and almost immediately felt an arm wrap around me. "Clay?" I asked looking behind me to see him sleepily smiling at me.


"What's wrong, my love?" he asked. I sat up in the bed and I explained to him about what was going on inside my head. I was worried that he would think that I was insane and take me to some mental hospital, but after I finished explaining, he pulled me into a hug, and I felt him run his fingers through my hair. "Please, don't think I am insane," I whispered as I felt more tears continue to stream down my face.


"I don't think you're insane, Aria, I know that you're still struggling, I'm here for you, always," he answered. We stayed in that embrace for a while, and we only pulled apart when we felt our lungs start to ache. "I won't be able to sleep tonight," I said as I adjusted my pillow.  I felt Clay start to kiss my neck slightly, and I looked back over at him.


"Do you want me to sing you to sleep?" he asked. Clay rarely sang me to sleep, but I needed his comfort. "Sure," I sleepily smiled. I turned to the other side so I could see him. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me closer to him as he began to sing...



What would I do without your smart mouth
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright


My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind


Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning


How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you


My head's underwater
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind


'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning


'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you oh oh


While Clay was singing, I felt my eyelids start to grow heavy, and at the end of the song, I fell asleep in his arms and gently rested my head close to him as I slipped into a peaceful, euphoric, slumber.
