I'll Always Be There For You

Chapter 5 : Help Me

Aria POV

I was so terrified by this person as he took out a knife from his pocket, so I instantly pushed him hardly to the ground, he hit the floor pretty hard and then he growled and open hoodie.

"Aria, what the heck were you thinking you're doing?" As he tried to stood up and I saw the familiar face of my brother, Mike.

"Mike! Oh God, I thought you were a creepy stalker that tried to kill me!" I helped him got up and picked his stuffs up.

"I'm sorry then, but who wants to stalk you ?" He shook his head and then walked straight to the house and left me behind.

"You gotta stop wearing those creepy clothes!" I told him before he disappeared into the house.

After that, I went in to the house as well and locked the door after I got in.

My mom was there sitting on the chair and drinking a hot coffee that she made herself and reading some books.

"Mom? Why are you still awake? I thought you were already sleeping." I sat on the chair, across the chair where my mom sat.

"I was waiting for you, I got your note that maybe you'll come late. But I didn't expect you to come really late like this." She smiled at me as she drank the coffee.

"I'm really sorry mom, things didn't go as what it planned." I sigh heavily and ate a cookie that were on the table.

"Would you mind telling me what happened with Sebastian?" She smiled to me and put her coffee glass on the table.

"Wait, how do you know it was about Sebastian?" I stared at my mother with my eyes filled with curiosity.

"Mike told me that he saw you and Sebastian were talking on the yard of his house." She chuckled.

I felt like I was blushing but at the same I time, I felt sad.

"Oh, yeah it was true. We were talking and talking." I tried to smile and hid my sadness from my mother, but I couldn't. She knew that something was wrong.

"Honey, you shouldn't hide it from me. You can tell me anything, and I promise I will help you." She held my hands softly.

"I don't know,mom. I feel like...I have a different feelings about him. Something more." I was still trying to hold my tears back.

"Do you like him?" She said in a serious yet calming tone.

The simple question that went out from her lips, a simple one yet it's very hard to answer. The answer seemed hard to find even though it was on my mind, but I just couldn't let it out to anyone. Anyone but myself.

"I don't know, mom. I don't know exactly what my feelings are. This is difficult and hard for me." I closed my eyes, because I couldn't imagine what the world looked alike with these feelings I had.

Will my life change? Or it will change Sebastian's life?

All I wanted to do was disappeared from here and went to some new life so I could rebuild every single things on my life, so I couls live normally and happily.

But I couldn't runaway, this is the reality, this is the place that I lived in. Even if it's cruel and bad, I had to stay, I just need to be stronger.

"Aria, listen to me. You need to be honest with your own feelings, and you should think carefully and smart, or else you won't get something that you need or you want. Just be honest with your own self, because it's important."

She then stood up and hugged me tightly in her arms. I couldn't help but to cry on her shoulder.

My mom made me feel better about this problem.

"Thank you so much, mom. I really love you, you made me feel so much better. Thank you." I let her go and I kissed her cheek.

"Your welcome, Aria. It's my own duty to care and protect you in this life. I love you too." She smiled to me so calmly.

I smiled back and then walked to the stairs and went to my room. I changed my clothes and went to sleep with a little smile on my face.

Sebastian POV

I woke up with a little headache inside my head.

I checked the clock and it said 09:00 PM which means I can't go to school because It's already late. Oh, whatever then. I need a break from everyone anyway.

I was still wondering what did Aria's words mean last night.

Does she like me?

No, she doesn't like me. But why she acted like that?

It made my head dizzy so I tried to sleep again but a tone from my phone stopped me.

It's a message from Noel. It's a rare thing but It's true. How did he get my number anyway?

Hey, I was going to ask u why u didn't come at the first class today but it's not important. I want to talk to u. Can I come at ur house today after school? - Noel

Oh wow, didn't see that coming. I replied the text.

Sure of course, what time? - Sebastian

2:30 pm sounds good. - Noel

Sounds good to me as well. - Sebastian

After that, I had to cleaned up the mess in my room and realized that what I'm wearing right now is only shorts and a simple white undershirt.

"I need to get change, tsk." I went straight to get my blue and white stripes-shirt and my blue jeans that I bought not so long ago.

I didn't know what to do so I went out to get some fresh air before Noel came because I'm pretty sure I needed it.

I walked to a park where everything looked so calm and relaxing in every inches of it. I whispered to myself. "This is perfect."

I sat on the most comfortable bench that I assumed and I started to drank my coffee that I bought some minutes ago. The coffee tasted not that good, compared to the coffee in Lima Bean that I used to drink like in every day.

I missed my old life on the Warblers. I was a very passionate person back then, and now it seemed like everyday is just a day to be wasted. I need a spark in my life. A very unexpected and challenging one.

I needed to become the old Sebastian Smythe. It's time to comeback.

But, I needed something to made my spark, became a fire.

After all the things I thought, I couldn't find the spark. Until he flashed up on my phone.

A text message from the one and only, Noel Kahn.

I'm heading to ur house right now. Be there or u'll regret it. - Noel

Just a typical Noel Kahn's lousy threat. I could imagine he used his smirk after he whispered these words to my ear as I could smell his body and his voice that made my bode shivered.

Noel could be the object of my spark. The only thing I needed to do was to be close to him. I know this was my only chance to made the comeback of myself.

I replied his text only with a simple yes. I realized that I spent a lot of time in this quiet yet relaxing park. So I rushed back to my house fastly so I could be there before Noel did.

And I did it right before his car parked in front of the frontyard of my house.

He got off from his fancy car and walked up to me. "I'm glad what you did what I said." He used the same smirk that sometimes made me feel like I needed to punch his face or cut off his head but I needed to stay calm.

"Yes, now let's come in." I headed to the front door and came in.

"Are your parent's home?" Noel walked in as he said in a whisper tone.

"No, they're out to somewhere that I don't really care." I walked straight to the stairs since my room's is on upstairs.

Noel followed me quickly just as I thought.

I closed the door after he came in.

"Now what?" I asked him with a boring tone and acted like I didn't care at all for the arrival of him.

"Hmm.. I need to talk to you about something." He stared at me with a serious face expression which is rare for someone like Noel Kahn. He sat on the edge of my bed

"About what?" I stared back with a little curiosity hidden in my eyes.

"I know about what happened with you and Aria last night." He didn't give me the usual smirk he always did. He gave me a worried expression.

"You k-knew? How?" I sat next to him.

"Aria, herself told me." He sighed and stared at the ceiling of my room, even though there was nothing up there.

I sighed heavily and then closed my eyes.

Why did she tell this problem to Noel? Can she just told one of her friends?

Sigh.

I felt my knees were shivering and couldn't open my eyes anymore.

Why?

I opened my eyes slowly and caught Noel was staring and looking worried at me, after he realized that I caught him staring, he suddenly looked away and sat farther than me.

I breathed and let it out.

"Why are you telling me this?" I looked at him.

"Uh-B-because I just want to." I could see his expression turned almost panicked.

"No. What are your point exactly for telling me this?" My feelings became mess and I couldn't control my emotions.

He didn't answer my question. He looked like he was thinking of an answer.

I tried to grab his collar but what he responded was not what I thought. He grabbed my hand, and then he pushed my body to the wall with my hand locked in his hand hardly.

"Don't you ever try to fight me like this." He said in a serious and hideous tone.

I could feel my body was shivering, but I tried to remained calm and gave him a my old smirk that I never used to Rosewood people before.

"Why? Are you scared?"

He pushed me harder so hard that it hurt my backbone.

"No I'm not, you son of a jerk. You don't want to get hurt, don't you?" He smirked and still held my wrist to the wall.

"I'm not scared of getting punched or beaten down by you." I stared at his eyes with anger felt on myself.

"Oh! I didn't mean physically. I mean, mentally." He smirked devilishly and the atmosphere became different.

Just after he said those words, I realized that he was going to spread to the whole school people that I, Sebastian Smythe was gay. All the frightening memories for got bullied in the past showed up in my mind so suddenly.

I didn't know how to act. So I looked down and didn't respond to what he said.

Before I could say anything, Noel let out the grip of my hand and walked out from my room.

I tried to move my body to chase him but fell down was the only thing I could do. I couldn't move my feet, neither my hands or my body.

I sighed heavily and I closed my eyes again. I tried to calmed myself and forget everything that happened not so long ago. But I couldn't.

I took a deep breath and then let it out.

"Please tell me, this isn't true." I asked myself in a weak and hopeless tone.

I fell asleep with the same position on the floor, didn't care how mess up the floor in my room was.

I knew that deep inside my heart, I was crying and feeling clueless.

I didn't know what to do.

Help me.
