A/N: This is completely fresh. I honestly just racked my brain and started typing. So the setting is In Ipswich of course & This is their final year of highschool and they're about to start the journey to the rest of their lives. With complications of course. What kind of story would this be if it didnt have complications? Well the two main charaters are my OC Aria Fisher & our one and only Reid Garwin. Read On My Loves Read On. I said I was gonna post something & I actually did :) Proudness!

Disclaimer: I do now and will never own any characters from the Covenant. As I am not worthy enough


Black Keys

Chapter One / Chapitre Un

She walks away

Colours fade to grey

Every Precious Moments Now Erased

She hits the gas

Hoping it would pass

The red light starts to flash

It's time to wait

Aria's POV

Sometimes I would tell him it feels as if we're living in an old movie of black and white. Reid would always say that it was a total cliché, besides who would want to live in one of those boring old geezer films anyway? It will suck the youth right out of you. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like. Nothing ever seems to turn on the way I imagine it to be.

- Flash Back -

I rounded the corner only to walk straight first into a chest with a familiar scent. I let out a loud scream and fell straight to the ground landing on my backside.

"Reid!" I scolded. "You just scared me half to death!" He smirked then stretched out a hand to help me off the floor. I grinned and took his hand and began to walk alongside him. I remembered what I needed to tell him then suddenly let go of his hand.

"What's wrong?" He asked concerned

"Nothing in particular. I've just really stressed lately" I lied through my teeth. I smiled nervously and shook my head

"Are you sure babe?" I nodded for him to drop the subject while he went on talking. I finally decided that I needed to tell him the truth.

"Reid… I need to tell you something. I-"Reid interrupted me in mid-sentence before I got to tell him what was going on.

"Ari, you'd never guess what!" He yelled excitedly "I was going to wait till we got to my place before I mentioned it but I just can't keep it a secret anymore!" A smiled played on the corner of my lips. I loved seeing him when he had a childlike look in his deep blue eyes. A look I was honestly going to miss seeing.

"What?" I asked curious

"I got a swimming scholarship with Stanford Tec University! And if all goes well, I could be one of the best swimmers in all of Olympic history!" My smile slowly faltered but I composed myself enough to play it off. Believe me I'm extremely excited but it makes telling him the truth so much harder.

"That's great baby! I'm so proud of you" I feigned excitement.

"Yes, it is. But what was it that you were saying before?" We reached his car, and I stood unknowingly at the passenger door, taping my hand against the handle.

I panicked at what to do. I can't tell him now, his whole future would be put on hold. I simply just can't place that burden upon him.

"Oh, nothing important, just that my mom wanted me for dinner tonight so I won't be able to make it to yours." I lied once again

He eyed me suspiciously then said "Okay Aria, want me to drive you to your mom's?"

"No, it's okay I can walk." Tear welled up in my eyes as I turned and walked away.

"Aria!" He called out to me. I stopped in my tracks and he continued "What has been up with you lately?"

I let out a sob then said "I have to go." That's when I ran off in the distance.

- End Flash Back -

I never went to school the next day, nor the day after that, and the day after that. My father disagreed with my decision. He didn't like the situation but what was done was done. I just couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth. The truth about his unborn child.
