Eighteen

Hahahahaha no

A/N lots of new characters in this chapter! For future reference- Arielle is pronounced "Eree-el" not "Ari-el". So it sounds different from the Disney princess ;). And Alex is a boy, ha.

And one more thing- all characters are based on people I know. Some are obvious, like Casey and Sam, but others you'll have to figure out ;).

"Aria, here's what is going to happen. You're going to go home, you're going to eat. You're then going to take a shower, you're going to do whatever girly things you do. You're going to curl your hair, you're going to text your friends and invite them to dinner tonight. I will make sure you do all of these things, by talking to Casey tomorrow. If you don't do these things, our whole relationship is over. If you do, we'll go from there."

I walked into my house, taking my shoes off and putting them in the mud room. I then called Casey.

"Hey Aria."
"Hey Cas. Can you come over?"
"What should I wear?"
"Clothes that you can go out in."
"Wow, you're actually out of bed?"
"Yeah bitch, so come over," I said, chuckling.
"Ok, I'll be there in five minutes."

Ok, first step, lunch.

I walked over to the fridge and looked at its contents. There wasn't very much, but I'm sure I could figure out something.

I got out some spaghetti noodles to make fettuccine. I filled up the pot with boiling water, when the door rang.

Casey.

I walked over to the door and swung it open happily for Casey, but she wasn't there. I should've known, she has her own key to let herself in.

"Hi, Harry," I mumbled.

"Hey. I brought you your favorite," he said, holding up an Italian Publix sub.

"Thank you," I said, smiling to the best of my capabilities at the moment.

"Do you, uh, want to come inside?" God, it was never this hard to talk to him before.

"I don't think that's a good idea," he said, taking a hand out his pocket and ran it through his hair.

"Well, okay then. Thank you," I said slowly.

"No problem. Don't forget to do all the other things I said," he waved, walking back over to his house.

I shut the door and leaned against it, and immediately it opened again.

"Aria, why the hell are you leaning against the door?"

"It was like a movie scene," I said, walking back into the kitchen with the sub sandwich in hand.

"You're insane," she said, following me into the kitchen.

She sat down on a bar stool at one of the islands in the kitchen.

"Who's that from?" Casey asked.

"Harry, he's forcing me to eat."

"Wow, you actually talked to him?"

"You act like I can't do anything," I said, splitting the sandwich in half for her and I to share.

"You need a lot more than that," Casey said, pointing to my sandwich as I bit into it.

"My stomach shrunk from not eating. This is all I can eat."

"So what's the plan today?" She asked, biting into her sandwich.

I left her in the kitchen, and went to grab a pen and paper.

1. Eat
2. Take a shower
3. Text friends and invite them to dinner
4. Curl my hair
5. Not cry

I passed the note to her and watched her reaction as she read it. She nodded slowly with a confused look on her face.
