~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up on my bed, getting flashbacks of what just happened.

"Get away from me!"
"Ellen?"
"Don't touch me!"
"Ellen you hit your head..."
"I'm going! Don't follow me!"

I was screaming at Aria in the cave... did I hit my head?

The rocks are slippery! I'll have to be extra careful... Oh-
"Ellen!"
I hit something smooth, but rock hard.

Then there was black in my head.

"Aria" I mumbled. I must of hurt him so badly...
Maybe I should call him.
I got my phone and dialed the number.
"Aria?" I said when he picked up.

"Ellen, oh ELLEN! im so sorry. Are you okay? Ellen?" aria said paniking, he was so worried about her. "can i come over and see you?" aria asked

"Sure. I'm so sorry!" I whispered into the phone.

I made myself look extra pretty. I put on my highwasted skirt and plain white V neck t-shirt. I did my make-up well and paced anxiously before he arrived.

i arrived far quicker than a normal person would have been legally or physically capable, but i guess it wasn't legal for me to take over 200k's in suburban streets. I rapped 3 times on the door. remembering what i had promised to ellen.

I flung open the door and hugged him.

"I'm so sorry! I don't know..." I mumbled.
He smoothed my hair.

"Can you forgive me?" I asked.

i didn't dropped the embrace friends could hug. " Of course i do," aria wanted to add more but he felt so restricted, he would have to talk to ellen about it today. aria hugged tighter

"Come into my room" I said, taking his hand.

Something was wrong. Did I do something really horrible that I had forgotten?

I sat on my bed and petted the spot next to me.
He sat there and I clung onto him.

"Whats wrong?" I said looking up at him, he seemed distracted.

Aria still hand her hand "ellen you need to know how i feel about you and well, the way ella thinks about it." aria look away afraid to look into her eyes "I know you'd choose her over me, i understand thats completely resonable and she does not want me. More than a friend to you, i argued with her so much about it it probably cost our friend ship. But i cant loose you completely, I just." aria stopped again "I would rather you a friend than nothing at all. I will wait as long as i have to for ella to change her mind though." aria said and put his head down

This was not fair. I couldn't believe she could be so selfish.

Just because she didn't have anyone.

"Ill work Ella around. Don't worry about her" I begged, twisting my fingers through his.

I will figure out a way. I love Ella very much but this is just so unfair. Maybe If I found her someone...

aria lost control, her eyes locked into his. He was pushing himself away. He had to do somthing, he focused on hands, and hair. trying to not to look back into her eyes. "i," aria couldn't speak

I am such an idiot.

He was trying to put it on Ella so he dosn't seem like a jerk.

"Um. Ok. You can go. Your trying to break off.. whatever we have here. Um. I'll see you at school I guess" I said.

" no no!!!" aria said and did maybe the stupidest thing he had ever done. he lent in a kissed her, more passionatiley than the other times. Not to prove himself, but because restraining himself was too hard. aria broke away slowly and hung his head in shame. "i, Don't ever want to loose you."

aria and ellen talked for hours, but came to no resolutions, but she knew everything he wanted her to know, the way he trully felt and what he would sacrifice for her. around 10 she fell asleep on arias shoulder he carried her to her bed. and left a note

[i]Ellen, I hope you understand everything i said. I'll see you in the morning.
Thank you.
i love you.
