Scars.
"I suppose
I love my scars,
Because
They have
Stayed with me longer,
Than most
People have."

Third person POV-

Aiden was a person,
Who can describe the person's emotions or rather destroy them-
Just by looking at them.
And the moments when he was disoriented or confused- can one count on their fingers.

But right now-
In front of fayth,
Aiden stood shocked and confused at her behaviour.

He has expected a thank you but this was not something he had expected.

Aiden looked at her with a steady gaze and studied her carefully.
How she was avoiding looking at him.
How she was trembling.
How she hugged her legs to support herself.
And she was too still-

Aiden clenched his jaw.

Once again, Aiden starts to went toward her.
His steps calm and slow.

"Don't come... don't come closer toward me" The look on Fayth's face was pure terror and now she was choking on her words.

Aiden did not listen to her.
And continued his steps toward her.

But before he can make his way more closer to her-
Fayth start to pull books from the cupboard and threw them at him aggressively.

"What the hell do you think you are doing!?"
Aiden dodged the books, which were thrown at him.

If this was another situation,
And there was someone else instead of her-
Aiden would have create the person's grave with these books!- which were right now thrown at him.

Fayth tries to stand up- but could not.
As Her leg was sprained., the result of her fall.
But once again she tried to stand up only to fall again.

Fuçk! At this rate, she is going to injure herself!
Aiden hissed internally.

But Fayth was careless with pain.
The internal suffering she was feeling right now could easily outrun external pain.
It felt like someone was choking her soul.
Making it hard to breath.
She just wanted to be far away from him and these memories.

How did this happen?
How come the thing she was running from-
It has been years...
How come she fall directly into it.

Aiden looked at her leg and was barely able to control his anger.
What the hell is she trying to do?
But for her sake, he stopped-

"Okay- I'm not coming closer. But will you fucking calm down" Aiden said to her and quickly pulled out his phone.
He remembered clearly how Marley was connected to fayth.
If Marley would come here then maybe she would be able to calm fayth down.

Strangely, Fayth stopped and tightly hugged her knees again.
"No- stay away- stay away. Don't come near me. Don't. Don't. No. No. I'll-"
Now fayth was not even looking up from her knees and was mumbling these words over and over again.
As if she was not here but somewhere else.

Aiden looked at her-
He remembers how he had first met her, When she was crying hysterically on the terrace.
And even now- she looked so fragile.

He gritted his teeth!
Felt useless, when he couldn't do anything for her.
He felt utterly useless.

"Receive the damn call Marley!"
Aiden tried again-
