Three pairs of eyes stared at her. "So she's the old man's granddaughter huh?" Sam asked. Abigail blinked she was kind of glad there was a new girl in town. "Looks. Like it. Maybe we should invite her over?" Abby asked. Sebastian shrugged "dont matter to me. But id wait personally she just got here lets wait until tomorrow. I'm sure lewis will take her on a tour of the town. So we will eventually meet her." He told her.

Abby sighed "yeah you're right. But I'm I'm going to ask her to hang out with us tomorrow night then." She huffed. Seb nodded as he began to play pool again "she's very pretty to look at. Wonder what made her come all the way out here?" Same said waiting for his turn.

"You know theres more to us women than just pretty looks. I just hope shes smart and not dumb like Haley." Abby retorted. Sam and Sebastian snickered at her words. Though haley was very pretty. She was not the brightest.

Sebastian had a good look at her. Her skin was pale almost as white as snow. Her hair was the prettiest shade of teal he had ever seen. And her eyes were blue like sapphires. Her eyes showed sadness. He could also see that she also had a couple of bruises on her as well but no one else seemed to notice.

He figured something bad must have happened to her. She looked to be 5"7' average built. He couldnt deny that he found her intriguing. As for now he would watch her from afar.

Aria had met so many people that night. Everyone she met was just wonderful to her. With her belly full she followed Lewis out of the saloon and back to his house for bed. "Lewis I have to tell you something. No one else can know. But I feel I should tell you incase some trouble shows up." She said. Cautiously. Lewis looked at her as they sat down on the couch. "Ok shoot." He told her. Aria sighed.

This was going to be difficult. "Ok so the reason I'm here is because I left my parents. They both used me and abused me I had to leave before they had the chance to try to kill me. I took all the money I had and left to come here so please if anyone were to show up looking for me please tell them I'm not here." She pleaded. Lewis was taken back by this. He watched as Aria stood up and walked over to the sink wetting a paper towel removing the makeup hiding those nasty bruises. "This is My proof." She said showing him the angry marks.

She heard him gasp. "My word. How could someone do that to their own child." He said. Aria could feel the tears fall down her cheeks. " both my parents are deadbeat drunks. And when they weren't drunk they still abused me any chance they got." She choked out. Lewis was taken back by all this. "You have my word my dear. I will make sure if they show up they will be forced to leave this place." He told her. Aria nodded "Thank you." She told him.

Lewis pulled the couch into a bed and left her to herself. Aria changed for bed and looked at her phone. Her face paled seeing all the angry texts and phone calls not only from her parents but her abusive ex boyfriend. She changed her settings and blocked the numbers from ever calling or texting her again. She wanted nothing to do with them any longer.

She took out a pair of headphones and started to play some music. One thing she was going to do when she vot settled in was to buy a mixer,synthesizer and some good speakers. She missed making music. Finally sleep consumed her.

Aria woke up that morning feeling refreshed. She quickly got changed into a fresh pair of clothes. She covered up her bruises with makeup once again. She took her teal hair and put it up in a low pony. "I see you are up and ready to go." Lewis chuckled. Aria spun around and nodded "you bet." She replied as she met him at the door. Leaving her things figuring she would get them once the tour was over.

Pelican town was a quiant lttle town. First stop was Pierre's where she was warmly welcomed. She had met the owner and his wife Caroline. She had learned they had a daughter that was about her age. She was glad there were people here that was about her age. Lewis had her walking around all over the place. the only thing she didn't like was the joja mart. She believed in supporting the local businesses. She would never shop there unless she absolutely had to.

She met Dr. Harvey and his assistant Maru who was the daughter of the carpenter in this town. She now knew where the library was as well as where she could go to upgrade her tools if she needed to. She even met some of the locals. Jodi and one of her sons Vincent her oldest was working. She met Penny who was Pam's daughter. She homeschooled Vincent and Jas. Since there was no schoolhouse.

Then she met willy and Elliot who both live on the beach. Aria loved the ocean. The sound of the waves the sound of the seagulls. It was relaxing. Aria followed lewis back into town and collected her things with there only two more stops to go she didnt mind carrying them.

Next stop was the carpenter's there she met Robin and her husband Demetrius. "So Aria have you met our children?" Robin asked. Aria nodded "I met Maru at the clinic earlier but I havent met the other." She replied. Robin smiled "our son Sebastian is downstairs in his room he doesn't really get out much. He normally spends his time working on his computer or hanging out with Sam Jodi's oldest boy." She said. Aria nodded "I'm sure ill meet them both pretty soon." Aria said.
