Chapter song: Out of love by two friends ft. cosmos & creature

Wednesday

Aria's POV:

My feelings for Jack grow more and more every second Im with him, and even when I'm not he's still on my mind. As much as I want to be with him and my hearts telling me yes my mind is telling me no. Im looking out for him in the long run. 

I groan out loud in frustration. God why does this have to be so difficult I just want to kiss him over and over again. His lips are so soft, he's so gorgeous, his personality is amazing, and don't even get me started on his adorable smile.

He makes my heart flutter. I find myself smiling at the mere thought of him. I shake my head and sit up. Aria, your not good enough for the angel that is Jack Avery. He has his career to think about and he's better off without me.

Someone knocks on the door and I get up from the couch to answer it. I open the door to reveal Jack. "Hey ar, do you have a second?" he asks sheepishly. I nod and let him in. Nervousness radiates off of him, making me anxious. We sit down on the couch and he takes a deep breath.

"Aria I-I" he stutters. Oh god here it comes. Please Jack don't do this. "I really like you, more than I've liked anyone in my entire life. You make my entire world brighter and I can't imagine a life without you in it by my side. Your gorgeous and amazing and so talented in every way possible. " He looks at me pleadingly, hoping i'll feel the same. 

"Jack I-I " I panic. I stand up, and run upstairs into my room and lock the door. I sit against the door with my head in my knees. I hear the front door shut as a beep echoes through the now empty house. A tear falls down my cheek. I really like him, but it just shouldn't be.

I sigh and get ready for dance, leaving early and driving to starbucks. I get a snack then go to dance, trying to work the heartache away seeing as its my first class of Pas de deux. Afterwards I go to the gym and work out until it hurts to move. Eventually I go home and get a shower changing into leggings and a white pullover with a red heart on it.

After a while of playing with my hair I brush it out and try to keep myself occupied and my mind off Jack. It's around 11 when I try to go to sleep. I toss and turn for what seems like forever until I can't take it anymore. 

I get up and slip a pair of black converse on then grab my phone and walk next door. It's starting to rain as I get into their house. I spot all of the boys accept for Jack sitting on the couch. "Ar, is everything okay?" Daniel asks getting up from the couch.

"Is Jack here..." I ask, clearly conflicted with myself. "He went on a run to try and clear his head. He told us what happened." Zach informs me, smiling sympathetically. I sigh. "It's not that I don't like him because I do, A LOT. I'm just trying to look out for him in the long run. I have my demons that I battle and I don't want him to deal with that. He also has his career to think about." 

"Aria jack doesn't care about that. He's liked you since you got here. He likes you a lot and talks about you nonstop. We've never seen Jack cry until the break in. He was so worried about you he was beside himself in tears. Please give him a chance Aria, we can see the chemistry between you two." Jonah says.

I bite my lip, contemplating. I sigh, giving in. "Where did he go?" I ask. They grin. "He went up to the LA overlook where you two went running with max." Daniel says. I nod and thank them before running out and hopping in my mustang, driving to the trail.

By the time I get there it's pouring. I get out and start running up the trail, struggling to see. I slip and fall once or twice but I get up and keep going. Once I finally get up to the top I spot him standing by the edge overlooking the beautiful city lights. 

"Jack!" I yell, trying to get him to hear me over the rain. He turns around and squints then realizes it's me. "Aria!" He yells. I run into his arms and cling to him. He wraps his arms around me and I grab his face, kissing him passionately. He kisses back.

We part and I look up at him. "I like you too, I can't ignore it anymore. You make me the happiest I've ever been and I feel like I can accomplish anything by your side." I say, pouring my heart out to him. "We can take things slow, just please give us a chance Aria. I've never felt this way about anyone before." He pleads. 

I pause momentarily, giving it a final thought. "Okay" I confirm. He grins and picks me up, spinning me in his arms. I giggle as he sets me down. He kisses me and sparks fly. I feel a tingle go through every inch of my body. 

I smile and he kisses my forehead then we make our way down the trail, driving back to the house. He walk in to his house and the boys look over at us curiously. Jack wraps his arm around my waist and they immediately cheer. 

We smile and jack kisses my head then goes to get dry clothes from his room then we go over to my  house. I grab a pair of spandex shorts and the red adidas pullover and change into them in the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror and looks like I'm not wearing any pants but oh well. 

I walk out and an greeted by a shirtless Jack. He  grins. "You look adorable in my clothes" he states. I blush and crawl into bed as he does the same. I cuddle into his chest and smile, closing my eyes and for the first time feeling complete and whole.
