I like to tell myself that if I knew that she was going to effect me in this way, that I wouldn't have stayed. That I wouldn't have even gotten involved. But I know that's a lie, everyone around me knows that's a lie. I love her, and anyone could tell that id do anything to make her feel safe again.

COMPLETED | "But it tears me up inside because she doesn't even know I exist."

Aria has always laid low in school with her tight-knit group of friends. When she meets Nash at a party, he's rude, he's blunt, and he's got more baggage than he can carry. Aria immediately dislikes him. But the line between hate and love is very thin, and a continuous game of Never Have I Ever may change everything.
