New Blood, One Family 4

Chapter 30 - Remembering her

It's been 3 days and Aria has been unable to breath on her own. Harper hasn't left her side which means that Harper hasn't eaten or showered in 3 whole days. Kelly has been popping in and out. This is a lot harder on him as he still blames himself
"Hey" Dawson says calmly standing at the door
Harper just stares at aria
"I need you to at least listen to me?" Dawson says as she sits down in a chair
Harper nods
"It's Kelly, Aria was the one thing holding him to shay. She is her double, she has bright blonde hair and green eyes. She has shay's scene of humour. Kelly believes that shay sent her to make sure Kelly was okay" Dawson says as a tear rolls down her face
"He never told me that" Harper says as she looks at Dawson
"She was holding us all to shay. We never told you but we all see a little bit of shay in her" Dawson says as he smiles
"I wish I could've met her, she seemed great" Harper says as she takes arias hand
"Go talk to him, I'll watch Aria" Dawson says as she smiles at Harper
Harper gets up and finds Kelly. He is sitting on a bench with tears streaming down his face.
"Hey" Harper says as she sits down next to him and takes his hand
"Hey" Kelly says as he wipes his tears
"It wasn't you fault" Harper says as she smiles weakly
"I know I just feel like I let her down" Kelly says as he looks up
"Let who down honey?" Harper asks calmly
"Shay" Kelly replies as his eyes flood with tears
"You know I would have loved to meet her? But in a way I did" Harper says as she smiles
"Huh? How?" Kelly says confused
"Aria, I've been told she's the splitting image of shay" Harper says as Kelly smiles
"She is, she even talks like her. Everyday I get reminded of her and how I couldn't save her. I need to be able to save aria! I need to keep her memory alive" Kelly says as he sobs
"I know...I know" Harper says as she gets an idea
Harper gets up and and gets in a car. She drives to this place she saw on the drive to the hotel. She waits for her order and then comes back. She gathers everyone in the waiting room
"I recently found out that you all think of shay when you see aria, so I got this made for you all" Harper says as she reveals the picture
It's a painting of aria smiling with shay over her as an angel. Shay is leading Aria and Aria is laughing
"It's beautiful honey" Gabby says as she sheds a few tears
Everyone is brought to tears and Kelly gives Harper a hug
"I love you" Kelly whispers
"I love you more than you know" Harper whispers
