Chapter eight

"Kurt stop this now" screamed Aria trying to make out who was who in the large mass of blurred colour.

Vert on the other hand was trying to get Kurt of his friend the best he could without getting punched himself.

"Just calm down your scaring your sister" Said Vert calmly.

Kurt still wasn't listening as he was trying to strangle Zoom or at least manage to punch him in the face.

Zoom wriggled under the lager mans weight trying to get free.

All the sudden movement of colour was making Aria's head hurt and her vision was slowly turning light green at the edges.

Three other darker colours whizzed into the room creating a whirl of blue, green and purple which was hurting her head even more dropping her head into her hands and closing her eyes as tight as possible with her breathing getting heavier.

Aria's sore head had now grown into a pounding headache and her vision was now tainted a darker green.

With all the strength the small girl had inside of her she filled her lungs with as much air as her lungs could hold she let out a piercing scream.

All the others stopped their movements to look at the small girl that held her head in her hands, her breathing was still heavy and her eyes where shut tight.

"I think its best you leave" Said a womanly voice.

The members of the battle force five turned and saw Grace standing just inside the room with an angry look on her face.

Flicking her long hair over her shoulder just as everyone was leaving.

Kurt was the last to leave the room after trying to pry Aria's hands away from her face, with a defeated look he walked out of the room.

Grace walked into the room and stood over her friend Aria who had isolated herself in her own world.

"Aria it's me Grace it's okay everyone's gone" Soothed Grace while wrapping her arms around Aria.

Aria's whole frame began to shake as the frail girl broke down into tears, never before had Grace seen Aria cry.

"It looks like her sight wasn't the only thing she lost" Thought Grace.

With Kurt and BF5

"I can't believe he would do that to her my dad was never like that before mum..." Kurt said to himself.

"Before your mum did what" asked Vert curiously.

"It doesn't matter what's done is done" he replied vaguely.

With Zoom

It had been a few hours since he had been kicked out of the hospital.

Zoom was lying on his bed looking at the ceiling he had never felt so guilty in his life it was his fault they got thrown out by Grace.

"I need to say sorry to her" thought Zoom climbing of his bed and pulling on his shoes before heading out of the Hub.

As Zoom walked into the hanger and mounted Chopper and revved the engine causing Sherman to look up.

"Hey Zoom where are you going" he asked.

"Out I need some time to think I'll be back later" replied Zoom vauguely.

Sherman walked up to Zoom who was still sitting on the Chopper looking while looking out of the open hanger doors.

"You like her don't you?" asked Sherman calmly looking Zoom straight in the eyes.

Zoom looked down not answering Sherman who was waiting patiently.

"I...I don't know" Zoom replied and drove of leaving Sherman standing on with a smirk on his face.

"Looks like the kids finally falling...hard" he thought to himself.

The drive gave Zoom time to think.

Did he really like Aria, or was this feeling just temporary?

Pulling up to the Hospital Zoom's heart began to beat even faster.

The doors slid open and showed the reception desk, walking up to the lady he signed himself in and walked over to Aria's room.

Opening the door he saw Grace trying to coax Aria out of the position she had been in since he left.

Grace looked up and glared to Zoom.

"What do you want" asked Grace her voice was dripping in anger.

"Grace go home I'll stay with her tonight" Said Zoom looking straight at Grace.

Grace looked at Aria, the poor girl had stopped shaking a while ago but she still wouldn't talk to her.

Biting her lip Grace looked up.

"Just for tonight if you manage to get her to speak or at least eat something I'll be really grateful" Replied Grace nervously.

Zoom nodded to Grace as she stood up and collected her things.

"And please wake her up if she starts to have nightmares" Said Grace.

Zoom nodded again and sat down on the edge of the bed after Grace left the room.

Zoom wrapped his arms around Aria who still had her hands covering her face and pulled her closer so her head was lying on his chest.

He felt her whole body stiffen at his touch, the reaction made it obvious that she was still awake.

Zoom began rubbing his hand in small circles over her back hoping it would relax the young girl.

"Aria I...I'm sorry about what happened earlier I shouldn't have said what I did to your brother" apologised Zoom while still holding Aria.

Aria relaxed a little bit after hearing Zooms apology, this action made Zoom smile and relax too.

"Aria will you please talk to me just say something...anything" pleaded Zoom.

"Hazelnuts" said Aria quality while pulling her hands away from her face.

Zoom shifted slightly to look at Aria, her eyes where glazed over and she looked to be half asleep.

Zoom nodded at her but didn't reply.

"Hazelnuts...you always smell like Hazelnuts" said Aria again.

"Okay...so I smell like nuts know do I" Said Zoom chuckling to himself.

The sound of Zoom laughing made Aria smile just a little bit before she yawned and stretched as best as she could as Zoom was still hugging her.

Zoom cringed as he heard her mussels pop back into place turning around so he was holding Aria face to face.

"It's time for you to go to sleep" Said Zoom softly while lying Aria down and getting up.

Aria grabbed his hand and pulled him back down again.

"Please stay with me just for tonight...I don't want to be alone again" said Aria looking right at him with her half blind eyes.

Zoon nodded and lied down next to her, Zoom watched her blue eyes flutter before closing.

He turned onto his side so he was facing Aria he looked at his watch it read.

11:30 PM

When Zoom looked up he was Aria's peaceful face turn into a delicate frown, on a whim he started running his hands through her black hair, it seemed to calm her as she began to look peaceful again.

"Maybe Sherman was right" Zoom thought.
