LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
CHAPTER 19

Ariana wished she could turn back time. She wished she could take back the last few hours. All her life though, she was taught that everything happened for a reason. Her dad always told her that everyday before she went to school back in London.

Ariana realized it now though, that everything really doesn't happen for a reason. Everything only happens because of our choices. Only because of our crazy, stupid, selfish, greedy choices.

She sat on the hood of her Range Rover, in a parking lot alone. It was already in the afternoon, the intense fight several hours ago but still replaying in her head. After the heated argument between her and Scott, the little heart to heart moment with Stiles, she took off. She had to get away away from the both of them. To think things over.

It wasn't that she wanted to get together with Stiles because her relationship with Scott wasn't working. But it's that she needed to. Being in his arms literally made her feel like nothing could ever happen to her. Every worry in the world went away as soon as he touched her. Every time Stiles smiled Ariana couldn't help but smile back. Believe it or not, but Stiles makes her feel alive. Before there was any feelings for each other, they were best friends. Which for her seems so cheesy. Because out of everything going on in their life she couldn't help but... feel human around Stiles.

Stiles made her feel human and that's what scared her the most.

Ariana had never been so confused and lost in life. She never expected to have a mate but once she found out she did, she never expected to fall in love with his best friend who he considers his brother. Hell if he even considers him his brother anymore.

Her phone ringing broke the silence and Ariana from her ongoing thoughts.

"Hello" she answered with a broken voice.

"Well that wasn't a very welcoming greeting I expected" he trailed off. "Who's ass do I got to beat?" He asked seriously.

A faint smile appeared on Ariana's face. "Trust me, as much as I would appreciate that, and would very much enjoy watching, you would lose to him" Ariana replied with as much enthusiasm she could put into her voice.

"Seriously though— are you okay? Do I have to go down there? Make a grand appearance, save the day? I do have a reputation there you know" the male voice said. She could hear the smugness in his voice making her roll her eyes.

"Oh okay pretty boy. Don't get too far ahead of yourself. I don't need you down here on everyone's radar again" Ariana smirked recalling the stories Stiles told her.

"Right. Wonderful times then" he laughed. "Niall says hi by the way" there was shuffling and muffled voices on the other side of the line. "Okay fine I'll tell her! Niall says to tell you that you better go to your sexy ass man before he comes there and straightens you up"

Ariana let out an honest laugh this time. "Yeah well there's no Scott and I now" Ariana stated with hidden emotions behind every word.

"I meant Stiles dumbarse!" Niall's voice shouted from the other side. Ariana's heart quickened at just the sound of his name.

"Ahh there it is. The rhythm of love in your heart" he said. "Now go do what you do best and go save your friends. They need you more than we need you right now"
