Aria's POV

"What are you wearing?" Lily's frantic voice echoes through my phone speakers.

"Uhm... A grey dress with my school sneakers? I topped the dress with Drew's university hoodie." I responded meekly as I manoeuvred my car into the diner's parking lot.

"You are wearing your brother's old hoodie to a date? Arianna Bennett, have you totally learnt nothing from me?"

I roll my eyes. "It's cute. My mum said so,"

"What do I do with you? It's okay. You're probably there so it's fine. Just Facetime me when you get home with all the juicy deets, okay?"

"Yeah, love you, mean it." I smile.

"Hate you, kidding."

I hang up and exhale. Here goes nothing. As I enter the diner, I gasp at the population. It's packed tonight. But in the midst of the many bodies, I spot Matt. His goofy grin is hard to miss. Plus, he's in a red hoodie, which singles him out.

"Hey," I say, smiling as I slide into the booth beside him.

"Aria..." He smiles easily, his eyes roaming over my face. I hope he l

    LILYThis car... is too clean, too quiet... at least it would be if it weren't for the two toddlers. I can't seem to think about a thing as Jace keeps dragging my attention back to him, again and again."Lily! Look! Lily, look at the crane!" He was buckled in when the drive began. Then he asked... no, demanded... to be let out so he could 'sit like a big boy.' He’s seated next to me now, way too close. He keeps leaning across my space, his fingers brushing my top as he points out the window.“Is that a big crane? Is it? Lily?”“Yeah, Jace. It’s big,” I mumble, pressing my forehead against the glass, trying to find a pocket of air that doesn’t make me want to gag.“And look! A blue car! That’s like my blue shoes!”He’s bouncing now, his elbow digging straight into my side… right where my stomach feels the most tender. I suck in a sharp breath and shift, but it only makes him lean more.Beside me, Bailey has decided that she’s bored with her fruit-stained life. Yeah, Elizabeth actually

    LILYI take my time to really ask myself if staying quiet is worth the risk. I mean... as much as Tyler was butting in my business, I know he's right. I don't know why I suddenly felt that way under the shower. It's never happened before. Honestly, I'm scared of breaking down like that again. Maybe it's a side effect of being pregnant? Who knows. Fuck! I know nothing about being pregnant. I don't know what to do. I don't know if there are certain foods I should take or not, I don't know if I should be taking certain supplements... I should be, right? The baby should be in good health.I breathe out, returning to the bathroom and shutting my eyes as I turn the shower on. This time, I don't panic. It's soothing. I finish my bath and there are clothes on my bed when I get out. I get dressed in the jogger pants and a basic top with long sleeves.A few minutes later, I'm creeping down the glass stairs. They don't light up as brightly in the morning, but the whole house already feels like

    LILYI wake up to the feeling of tiny, sticky fingers brushing hair away from my forehead. My eyes snap open, and for a second, I'm totally disoriented until I see a pair of wide, curious eyes staring down at me."Oh, Shit!" The words leave my mouth before I can filter them out. I hear a muffled chuckle from the doorway. I scramble to sit up and look behind the little guy on my bed to see Elizabeth watching us with a soft expression.I heave a sigh and look back at the boy staring at my face. "Hey?" I say, taking him in. He's got messy bedhead, and pajamas that are a little too big."Hey," he says. Oh Lord! I don't know how to act around kids. Especially when they're this little and this cute. He must be... what was it Elizabeth called him last night? "You must be Jace," I start. "I'm Lily.""I know. Mommy told me about you a long time ago."She did? "Ummm... what did she say about me?" "That you're my big sister? And you're pretty and you love to play video games."Oh, wow. "It's

    LILYElizabeth's dining room feels too big, the ceilings too high, and the silence between us is heavy with eighteen years of stuff we haven't said. "So, how is Jenna? Is she well? Did she... did she take care of you well?" Her voice is tentative, like she's walking on eggshells."Jenna was... well Jenna." I smile a little, then gaze down at my meal and sigh. The salmon looks expensive, and I was so hungry after having only breakfast and throwing it all up this morning. But now, staring at the steam rise from the plate, my stomach knots up. After being served a whole tray of dinner, I can't find my appetite. It's just... gone.I think I'm overwhelmed or something. I didn't know that my biological mother was this rich, nor did I know that she owned this kind of a place. I also didn't think she'd take me in and be this kind and doting. I feel her hands entwine with mine over the table and I look at her. She's gorgeous, really. Even with the tear-tracks, she looks polished. Her eyes ha

    LILYI find myself standing in front of the place I've called home since I was a kid. Only, it doesn't even feel like home anymore. I'm not sure I can recognize the outside of Jenna's apartment. The paint that was always so fresh is peeling now. It looks different. I have to check the number on the door again to make sure it's really her home.Then I brace myself and knock. I hear footsteps and I hold my breath. Once the door opens, I see her face and I release my breath. She looks... stressed? Thinner than the last time I saw her. Her well-layered hair is frizzy, sticking out at odd angles. But... that's not my business, anyway. It's not the reason why I came here. "Hey," I say, my grip on my suitcase handle tightening.She stares at me. "Lily," she says. "I'm so glad to see you. How have you been? Are you okay?..." Her gaze drops to my suitcase and she raises a brow. "Did you come back to stay?" As if. "I need something from you," I tell her, keeping my voice as flat as possible

    AIDEN"Do you know where she is?" I ask Jason the moment I'm face-to-face with him. He just glares at me. Because he thinks this is fucking funny. I try again, my voice grit and gravel."Do you know where my girlfriend is?" He arches a brow. "Your girlfriend? The one you ended things with? Or... you're dating again,"A low growl emits from my throat. My vision is tunneling. He's the captain and goalie, but he knows not to mess with me. All that energy... It's all on the ice. He’s good at blocking pucks, sure, but when it comes to natural strength, of course he knows he's no match for me. I could snap him in half and he knows it.I know I look and sound like a broken record. I know I’m a mess. First of all, I broke up with Lily, the only girl who'd ever been there for me and seen me more than just a hot jock. The same girl who helped me sort out things with my parents, just because she cheated.I fucking overreacted. My pride took the wheel and I drove us both off a cliff. And I knew
