Xander caught Arina's wrist as he started to peel his back from the cobblestone road. "Xander?" Ariana asked awkwardly. Xander looked at Ariana coldly as he adjusted his glasses with his free hand. "We need to talk." He said with so much authority that it sent chills down Ariana's spine. "Okay but can you please let go of me first?" Ariana asked sweetly but Xander just stared. "No." He replied as he started to get up from the ground.
"Why?" Ariana asked as she cried pitifully in her heart. "You'll run away." Xander replied bluntly. Ariana's jaw dropped.
"No I won't! You said we need to talk. Why in the world would I want or need to run away from you?" Ariana protested. Xander stared at Ariana for a long time. Ariana was starting to feel uncomfortable, Xander hadn't helped her off the ground yet, he was still holding her wrist and she was awkwardly sat on the cobblestone road.
