Four miserable weeks down. Two to four weeks left of being in a cast. Aria woke up from a nightmare. Her parents telling her over and over again about how much of a failure she was and that no one truly liked her. For someone who was abused for so long it messes with your way of thinking. It mindfucks you. Making you think the things you know werent true. And this was one of those. She had this feeling of wanting to just disappear from the world.

Aria got out of bed using crutches now instead of the wheelchair she left her room and walked out the front door. Sebastian woke hearing the door shut. But when he looked at Aria's door he began to worry. He jumped off the couch and peeked his head in her room and to his horror she wasnt there. He ran out the door in a panic trying to find Aria. She wasnt anywhere on the farm.

Running to the mountain lake by his house he found her sitting at the edge of the lake. "What are you doing out here?" Sebastian asked out of breath from running. Aria didnt speak she just looked over her shoulder at him. Sebastian joined her by her side. They both stared out at the water before she spoke. "Ever feel like you just want to disappear from the world?" She asked. Sebastian just looked at her "no I cant say I have." He replied back.

He could see the tears falling down her cheek. "I feel like disappearing. No one would miss me. I feel like I'm nothing but a burden to anyone." She said. Sebastian clenched his fist "if you think for one Damn second that no one would miss you. You are mistaken. Everyone here in town would miss you. Even Sam, Abby and I. We are your friends. We would miss you. And what did I tell you about you being a burden? You are not burden. You are going through a tough time right now I get it but you dont have to deal with this alone." He yelled at her.

Aria was in total shock. She never expected him to yell at her like he did. But he got through to her. Her eyes were opened now. Taking a deep breath she looked at him again. "Thank you seb. I really needed that. You helped me see that I dwelled in the darkness for far too long that I began to question my existence. I know now that I can rely on my friends to help me through the bad times." She said. Sebastian sighed "thats right. All you have to do is just let us. So why didnt you tell me about your parents and what they did to you?" He asked.

Aria looked down "it wasnt your burden to bear. I thought I got away from the danger and never had to deal with it again. But I see I was wrong." She replied. She sighed before looking at Sebastian who stood up holding out his hand to her. "Come on lets get you back home. Aria nodded before taking his hand as he helped her up. They walked back to her house together. Sebastian was glad he knocked some sense into her.

He didnt want anything to happen to her. He cared about her deeply. One might say more than a friend would. Could it be possible he liked her more than a friend? He stuck his hands in his pockets deep in thought. "Hey Sebastian hold up I'm not as fast as you right now." He heard Aria say from behind him. Sebastian snapped out of his thoughts and looked behind him. She was having a difficulty teying to keep up with him.

He chuckled at himself as he walked up to her "here let me help you." He said before picking her up bridal style. She puffed out her cheeks as he carried her "I can walk you know." She said pouting. Sebastian just laughed "we won't get there as fast." He replied. She opened her mouth to protest but didnt say anything. Making him laugh more. "Oh yeah tonight is the festival of the moon jellies would you like to go? Its My favorite festival of the year." He asked her.

Aria looked up at him "are you sure you want me to go with you? I'll just slow you down." She teased. Sebastian just laughed "you wont slow me down if I carry you there." He teased back. Aria laughed "sure I'll go with you." She replied. Sebastian was happy to hear her laugh again. She was starting to come back to her old self.

Sebastian openes her front door and walked inside shutting it with his foot. He walked over to the couch setting Aria down gently. "I'll be right back in going to check on the animals ok?" He asked. Aria nodded as she grabbed the blanket he was using and covered herself up with it before turning on the tv.

She stayed cuddled in the blanket. She could smell his cologne on it. It was relaxing, but she began to wonder what she was going to do when she was fully healed and he go back to his mom's. She was going to miss him. The late night talks they shared just his presence alone she would miss.

She felt all giddy inside as she sat there. Her heart was beating fast and she couldnt get this goofy smile off her face. 'Could it be I'm in love with him?' She thought to herself. She admitted that she was very fond of him,but she was afraid. Afraid of getting hurt again. Not that she thought he would she was afraid to take that chance.

Aria quickly shook her thoughts from her head as she heard Sebastian come back into the house. He could see she was covered up in the blanket he was using "the animals are fed and new straw has been put down." He told her.

She took the blanket off her head and looked over at him. "Thank you Seb. I'm glad you are here to help me. I couldnt have done this without you." She replied. Aria could have sworn she saw him blush as he avoided eye contact with her.

"I uhh I'm going to jump in the shower real quick" he said nervously. Aria just blinked her eyes "ok" she said as he walked into the bathroom. 'what was his deal?" She asked herself. Aria shrugged it off and began to flip through the channels finally finding a show to watch.

Sebastian finally came out of the bathroom with no shirt on. Aria couldnt keep her eyes away from him. He wasnt ripped but he wasnt flabby either. She quickly adverted her eyes away as he looked up from drying his hair. She could feel her cheeks grow hot as he stared at her. "I'm going to get changed before we go." She said managing to get off the couch.

She made her way to her bedroom with Dusty following her. She changed into a pair of black shorts and a red tank top. The only thing she really could wear to get her leg through on account of the bulky cast. She put her hair into two low pigtails that draped over her shoulder. She thought she looked good. Would have looked better had she not had the cast but oh well.

She walked out of her bedroom only to be stared at by Sebastian. "What?" She asked. Sebastian shook his head "nothing you look good is all." He told her. He could see the other tattoos more clearly now. He could also see her cheeks get rose as she looked at him. "You ready to go?" He asked. Aria nodded as she walked over to him.

Sebastian turned around allowing her to hope on his back giving her a piggy back ride as they left the house. "I'm not too heavy for you this way am I?" She asked. Sebastian shook his head "no not at all." He told her.

Aria could see the ocean getting closer as they reached the beach. "Hey Aria, hey Sebastian!" They heard Abby say. Aria waved at her as she walked up to them. "How are you feeling Aria?" She asked. Aria nodded "I'm doing alright though I'm tired of this cast. I cant wait to get it off." She said. Abby laughed "should be soon right but not soon enough." Aria laughed "yes exactly what I'm thinking." She replied.

After the incident with her parents Caroline came to her and told her she was the reason why they found her. She felt Aria should be angry with her but Aria had told her that it was not her fault she didnt know what happend.

Sebastian found a nice spot for them to sit down at. He helped Aria sit down before he sat beside her. "Alright everyone I'm releasing the boat." Lewis yelled out." Aria watched the boat drift off to see as jelly fish began to appear glowing in the darkness.

Sebastian stared at the jelly fish then at Aria. She was so amazed by the sight. The glow from the jelly fish as they got closer began to illuminate her which made her hauntingly beautiful,kind of wished this would last forever.
