Hostages (Book 2)

Chapter 13

Aria stopped and looked at her reflection in her spoon avoiding Niall's stare. "Can you please not do this?"

"And what exactly is it that I'm doing?"

"You know what," she looked up "the abuse, the evasion of space. Can you not do it!"

He looked at her for awhile before a grin showed up. "You already forgot, but not to worry, by the end of today you'll remember everything."

"And I was serious about us not greeting one another the way I hoped."

 "What makes you think that I'd actually hug you? Or even touch you!? You made three years of my life miserable and I wont hug you for that."

"I'm gonna ask you nicely and once,don't raise your voice at me. Please."

Aria looked at him with narrowed eyes before abruptly standing up and leaving the kitchen,before he caught her hand and sat her back down. "I never got an answer Aria."

 She answered through locked teeth "And you won't get one."

Niall's hand tightened around hers as anger became his main emotion and he was about to express it when Louis came in.

 "I see you two are catching up." Hr motioned to their hands and Aria waited until Niall's gaze was on Louis before she yanked her hand away and left kitchen with her bowl. She ate the rest in her room while thinking of how her day was gonna go and she summed it up in one word;badly. Niall was gonna AGAIN hurt her even after everything she went through and she hated herself for gaining emotional feelings towards him.

As soon as she saw him last night they came back,hit her like train of emotions. She replayed everything he did in her head trying to convince herself to snap out of it but it only made her body more attracted to him,she was grateful that her feelings with Zachary was way stronger though,by a landslide.

 And speaking of,knowing that if Niall saw her on her phone as often as she is he will find out who she's talking to. Meaning she can't text Zachary while their living right downstairs and she knows that breaking that to him isn't gonna be easy.

When everyone was dressed and in the car one of the guards drove with directions Naomi gave him while the rest sat in the back. Niall never took his eyes off Aria once again and she knew that along with one other person,Zayn. He sitting next to her secretly held her hand making Aria jump at first before she understood why,she subconsciously relaxed into Zayn throughout the whole ride and when they got there everyone saw that 'there' was a fair.

 Harry looked at Naomi funny as she smiled taking in the scenery. Zayn smiled and dragged Aria to the ticket booth buying his and hers. "We'll meet back here in two hours." He yelled to the others before disappearing.

 "Thank you." She said when they were far enough away.

 "I knew that if I didn't get you away from Niall then you never would of. Your welcome."

 Aria was at least glad that Zayn was around,he was the only one who knew what was going around therefore understanding what she was going through so she wasn't entirely alone.

 "So where to first? Apple bobbing,potato sack race,archery. Anywhere and we're there." She smiled as she looked around. "Archery."

They ate every sweets that was at the confections stand,won every contest except the pie. They got too sick. Aria showed skills she never knew she had when she shot the arrow in the bullseye 3 times out of five and shot the apple off the scarecrows head,Zayn won the potato race out of him and her but they both won out of the other seven players.
