He wouldn't ask for it back
He didn't want her to cry
She didn't wanna be sad "

" Thinking about HER She's gone ALL the time I think if you FOUND her That even you would know "
Baby came home The neighborhood
Aria was woken up by the sound of a door squeaking open. She became so used to waking up when she heard foot steps near her door, or when any door was opening.
All she heard was a door opening, yet she didn't see anything in front of her. She almost shot up in panic, not knowing we're she was, until she saw Jayla beside her. She could see the tv light which had the "are you still watching" options on the screen.
Aria then remembered the reason why she woke up, making her head to snap towards the door.
She saw that it was slightly opened, with a head peaking in. At first she was alarmed, until she saw a familiar yet not so familiar figured step in.
"Oh, sorry, didn't mean to wake you" Once Aria heard his voice she instantly recognized who had walked in.
It wasn't like what it used to be, so she stuck with the polite response. "No, no you're fine" She shook her head, her voice raspy from just waking up. "What time is it?" She tried to not seem so awkward, knowing a silence was fully gonna captivate them sooner or later.
He turned over his phone in his hands, looking at the bright screen. "One in the morning" he replied right before it fell into the captivating silence that both knew was bound to happen. "Glad you're back" His words were almost bitter sweet to Aria, knowing there was a whole different meaning behind those simple three words.
She nodded in response, feeling almost like their was no appropriate way for her to respond. Yes, there were many ways she could respond in that moment, but none came to mind.
Luckily Jaden nodded back, leaving the room while closing the door behind him. As soon as he was out of the room, she exhaled, not realizing she was even holding in her breath from the start.
She wasn't some oblivious girl that didn't realize her crush on somebody. It was hard for her to deny her feelings towards the boy. When everything was normal, so were they. They were mistaken for a couple multiple times. And Aria couldn't help but wonder why she loved that feeling so much. Until she finally expected her fate.
But those strong feelings faded away. Some still lingered in the air, but it wasn't no where near as strong as it used to be.
He hurt her. And he knew it.
She would never forgive him. And he knew it.
Now she was wide awake, no way of her falling back asleep. Jayla was half way on top of her, so she removed Jaylas arm that was attached to her hip, and carefully moved herself from the couch.
Aria had no clue where she left her phone last, the only thing to keep her from boredom, and possibly being able to fall asleep.
She tried looking on the couch, looking around Jayla, but she still couldn't find it. She looked one the floor, and any of the tables Javon had in his room. Still in none of those spots. Her best guess was that is was stuck between Jayla and the couch, and there was no getting it back till morning, unless she moved.
"Shit" she cursed under her breath, quietly as possible. Aria didn't want to wake them up, so she walked over to Javons door, contemplating wether she should leave the room and risk interacting with somebody.
She took a deep breath, opening the door, and making a straight shot for where she remembered the bathroom to be. For a moment she was scared that she would stupidly walk into somebody's room, but luckily she didn't. Just the bathroom.
She closed the door, locking it behind her. Once the light was on, Aria looked around the bathroom in amazement. It sounded so stupid, yet Aria had never seen a bathroom look so elegant and clean.
The bathrooms main color was a clean and pristine white, with pops of colors in certain spots. It was beautiful, she had to give them that. For just a bathroom? She would have to admit it was a little extra.
She couldn't help but take in her appearance, seeing how disheveled she looked. She could only hope that it was too dark for Jaden have seen anything.
Her first thought was to splash cold water on her face, but she knew all that would do was make her even more awake than she already was.
Instead Aria stood in front of the mirror, staring at herself, until she felt like her face didn't look like her face no more, which continued to creep her out.
Once she was bored of looking at herself in the mirror she contemplated wether she was going to leave the bathroom. It wasn't that hard of a choice, she just didn't want to go back in the room with the siblings, specially since she couldn't sleep.
Aria decided that she was going to go back into the room. After she thought over how weird it would be to just stay in the bathroom.
She opened the door, walking straight straight to Javons room. Instead of making it to the boys room, she ran into what she thought was a wall. Her sole focus was on the floor, but when her head shot up, it wasn't a wall.
It was Jaden.
All the people she could have ran into was him. Luckily she wasn't frozen like all the other times, she had some type of self control this time.
Aria wanted to stay in that post and not move, but she stoped herself when she remembered what he did. So instead she pushed his chest back, only for him to grab her arm, making her spin back to face him.
"What do you want?" Aria snapped, trying to see him through the darkness.
"What's you're problem" Jaden asked, like he had completely forgot and now was oblivious.
"You" She bluntly replied, watching as he faltered, enough for her to escape his grasp. She walked past him, and back into the room. She shared one last glance at the boy, but he was know longer. She assumed he had went back to her room.
Seeing what happened when she stepped out of the room, she didn't on doing it again, unless with Jayla or Javon. Aria sighed to herself, moving back onto the couch where she was soon to—surprisingly fall back asleep. Ending up back with Jayla.
Luckily nobody made the mistake of walking back into his room. Finally letting the teens get somewhat of sleep. At least enough to keep Aria going.
