Chapter 15: Little Sweet, Little Bitter.
Aria ran out. Andrew tried to follow, but she stopped him. Tears streamed down her cheeks. She didn't know why, but she felt like the world was spinning. Her sight was blurry. She didn't know when she found herself in the middle of the expressway. Her sight was blurry. She couldn't control her body. Before she knew it, she could see darkness.
Before she knew it, she fell unconscious.
"Catch her! Don't let her run."
"Aria, love, come on. It's not going to hurt us. Just fire."
Then, the other girl caught her. Then, a girl came out with a lighter and placed it on her.
Aria screamed, "Please, please stop! Please!"
"No, no, I can't hear you. Pour the water on her."
"No, no, no! Pour the water!"
Aria screamed, "No, no!" Then, she woke up. She was on the bed. She checked her hand. She was sweating. She turned around. No one was there. She felt scared.
As she began to come back to reality, she turned to the other corner of the bed. She saw Andrew lying on the bed. He was sleeping, his hands placed on her hand, holding her tightly.
Aria had tears in her eyes as she looked at Andrew. Her heart felt very sad, putting Andrew through so much.
That was when she realized she was not in her room but Andrew's. His room was nice; it wasn't as big as hers, but it was well arranged and nicely ordered.
She shifted her gaze back to Andrew. He was sleeping like a kid. She didn't know how to tell him about her dream. She was so scared tears began to run down her cheeks even more. Then she gently released her hand from Andrew's grip. Then she went to the window. She had never been scared like that before. She felt like she had been there. "They put fire on my hand," she said in a volume lower than a whisper. "They poured dirty water on me. They hurt."
Andrew stood at her back. She didn't notice he had woken up as she tried to remove her hands from his.
As Andrew heard her, he felt very sad. Aria stood there as she gently tried to calm down, but it was too much for her. She tried looking at the beautiful night sky and stars, but it didn't work.
Andrew yanked her hand. She was shocked. Then he gently hugged her very tightly.
She was shocked. Her tears began to fall even more than before. She hugged him tightly.
"I didn't know I felt pain. They used the fire on my hand. It hurt very badly. I couldn't breathe. I was suff..."
Andrew placed a kiss on her lips. She had never felt this way before. She couldn't think. Her mind turned blank. The kiss was very deep.
Andrew never knew he would do it, but that was the only thing that came into his mind. Aria was shocked for a second. Her heart stopped. It was like the whole world had disappeared, and it was only the two of them on earth.
Aria looked at Andrew one last time. Then she closed her eyes. "This feeling, what is this feeling? Is this love?" Aria said in her mind.
