Chapter 2
Aphrodite's pov
After what felt like hours, but was probably only a few minutes, Stark lifted Zoey's body from the ground and brought her back inside. The sun was going to come up soon and none of them wanted to be caught outside when it did. I stared after them as they all walked away from me and after a moment of hesitation I followed the group. It was only then that I noticed Darius wasn't with the rest of them and stood a little ways away from me with a worried look on his face. He didn't deserve what I was doing to him.
"Is everything alright, my love?"
I forced myself to look up into his face, but when my gaze met his I just couldn't bring myself to answer the question. I knew that he loved me and I didn't deserve it at all. Here I stood in front of one of the best guys I had ever met and all I could do was think about Zoey. I thought that I had finally gotten over her and that only being her friend would be enough for me. However, when I saw her lying on the ground, almost dead, I couldn't help but regret not having tried to see if we could have been more than just friends.
What am I thinking?! No way do I want to break up with Darius for something that I knew would never be. Might as well just give up on her and live a happy life with someone that actually loves me.
"Aphrodite?"
Darius calling my name made me come back to reality and I remembered that I hadn't answered his question.
"Yeah, i'm fine." I lied and hoped that he didn't notice. The look on his face told me that he wasn't convinced, but he didn't say anything more. We walked silently back towards the group together.
okay, so I know this chapter is really short...but i'll try to make the next one longer. It just seemed like a good place to cut the chapter. Anyway tell me what you guys think. If you like it i'll try to update again soon :)
