SECRETS BETWEEN US Chapter 12
(Aria’s POV)By the time I got home from school, my head was pounding. I could still see it — Damon leaning against that wall, that girl kissing him like she owned him. The image kept replaying in my mind like a cruel loop. I hadn’t even noticed my knuckles digging into the strap of my bag until I reached the door.I wanted to lock myself in my room and just disappear for a while. But the moment I stepped inside the house, I froze.My parents were sitting in the living room with Aunt Jenna and her husband Matt.That was when it hit me, they were coming to take me home today.My mom shot up immediately, her face lighting up like she hadn’t seen me in years.“Oh, sweetheart!” she cried, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. “You look thinner. Jenna said you haven’t been eating properly.”I stiffened. My arms hung limply by my sides. “I’m fine Mom,” I said flatly.Her perfume filled my nose, the same floral scent that used to comfort me when I was younger. Now it

Aria’s POVI woke up with a heavy heart. Jenna’s words from last night repeated in my head like a broken record:“Your parents are coming tomorrow to take you back.”I know I should be happy that I'm finally going back home to my normal life. I should be happy I'm finally leaving this awful strange Belary where nothing ever works for me. Where I find strange person following me. But somehow I just felt like staying here in Belary.I groaned and pressed my face into the pillow.“Ugh, this is so unfair,” I muttered. “Why now? Why when everything is just getting complicated here?”I stared at the ceiling, wishing I could just stay in bed forever. Leaving everyone even the strange things happening around me—it made my chest tight.Finally, I forced myself up.“Fine,” I grumbled. “Let’s just get this stupid day over with and then face my parents.”I dragged myself into the bathroom and turned on the shower. Cold water ran down my back, making me shiver.“School again. Boring, stressful, an

(Aria’s POV)The next morning, I woke up to my alarm buzzing like it had a personal grudge against me. I groaned, dragging a pillow over my face. Another day at Belary High. Yay. Could life get any more boring? Probably not.I dragged myself out of bed, muttering, “Great, another day of fake smiles, boring teachers, and people whispering behind my back. Can’t wait.”After brushing my teeth and throwing on jeans and a sweater, I went downstairs. Aunt Jenna was sipping her coffee, looking like she’d been awake for hours.“Morning,” I mumbled.“Morning,” she replied. Then, without looking up, she added, “Behave.”I rolled my eyes. “I’m not five.”Her eyes flicked up at me, sharp. “Then don’t act like it.”I stuffed a piece of toast in my mouth before she could lecture more and left for school.By the time I got to school, the halls were buzzing like always. Whispers. Stares. The usual.I clenched my jaw and walked faster. Of course. One mistake and suddenly I was Belary High’s favorite c

Aria’s POVI watched her walk upstairs, the silence of the living room enveloping me. I sat there for a while, lost in thought. Eventually, I made my way to my room, feeling drained. I changed into comfortable clothes and climbed into bed, trying to push aside the thoughts that swirled in my mind. Despite the turmoil, exhaustion took over, and I drifted off to sleep.The next morning, my alarm blared in my ear, jolting me awake. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and got out of bed, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. I prepared for school, getting dressed and ready. As I headed downstairs, I caught sight of Aunt Jenna in the kitchen."I'm leaving for school," I said coolly, grabbing my bag. "I'll see you later."Aunt Jenna looked up from her coffee, her expression softening slightly. "Be careful, Aria. And... we need to talk when you get back."I nodded curtly and headed out the door, not looking back. The cool morning air hit me as I walked to school, my thoughts still swir
SECRETS BETWEEN US Chapter 8
Aria's POV The ride to the police station felt endless. The siren wasn’t on, but the weight in the air made my chest tight. Damon sat beside me, handcuffed, staring straight ahead like he didn’t care. His calmness only made me more uneasy.When we arrived the officers took us to a small room with metal table.The bright lights of the police station made my eyes hurt. My wrists still felt sore from the tight grip the officer had used when shoving me into the car. I sat on a hard plastic chair, arms crossed, trying not to look as scared as I felt. Damon was across the room, calm like nothing was wrong.I wanted to scream at him. How could he just sit there, quiet, when my whole body was shaking?“Aria Gilbert?” A tall officer called my name.“Yes,” I said, my voice small.“Come with me.”I shot Damon one last look. He didn’t even lift his head. My stomach twisted as I followed the officer into a small room.---The room had one table, two chairs, and a buzzing light above. The officer

Aria POV I couldn’t see Damon anymore. He was gone.The crowd near the bonfire was loud with music and laughter, but the woods behind me felt too quiet. My chest tightened. I knew I wasn’t alone. I could feel someone's presence around me.A crunch. Leaves. Footsteps.My breath stopped.Not again. Please, not again.I remembered the night of the attack, the rough hands grabbing me, the smell of smoke, the fear. My body froze, then panic took over.I ran.Branches whipped my arms, the ground was uneven, but I didn’t stop. The footsteps followed, closer and closer.“Please, no…” I whispered as I pushed harder.I tripped over a root and fell hard, dirt scraping my palms. Pain shot through my knees, but I pushed myself back up and ran again. My legs shook but I forced them to move.The sound of the footsteps grew louder—then suddenly, nothing. Silence.I stumbled out of the trees and back into the open space of the bonfire. The music hit me like a wave. I turned quickly, scanning behind m
