Chapter 9-- I'll Stay

Aria's POV

the thing about life is,
it isn't complicated. but you as a being, complicate it yourself.
and we should learn from our decisions, from our actions.
and maybe down the road in months or years, we will realize that the decisions we made
turned out to make us.

------------
(back to Brandon)

what felt like an earthquake was actually my hands trembling from how nervous i was and the loud thumping noise in my ears was my heart beating from fear,

i do not know why my mind wishes to doubt Aria in her making a decision but i never learned to trust and maybe that is why i had issues,
or maybe it's the fact that what i did to her has changed her opinion of what type of person i am, but i do wish she chooses me.

"mom, brandon..this is a really complicated decision.."
by the way Aria speaks i can tell that she is worried and she is on the verge of crying from having to pick over two people she truly loves.

"brandon..god i love you so much and you are the light of my life, you are my other half, i have done everything for you and you have done the same for me as well,
and mom, you were the one who gave me life, you have been there for me my whole entire life and i love you dearly."

"but perhaps... mom, i should go with brandon."

although i feel sorry for her mom, i can not help the fact that i am so content and i am filled with what seems like the galaxy, all the feelings in the world in my stomach from happiness
but i do not choose to say a word, in fact i only share a smile with aria and look over to her mom,

but what i see breaks my heart and cuts off the happiness, and instead brings pity.
my throat begins to burn and i can not resist the need to stand up and begin to speak, because aria's mom was tearing up, many tears falling down her cheek,
for her daughter, her only daughter for whom she has cared, nurtured, loved, and protected her whole life has gone with someone else besides her and her husband.

"im so sorry."
but aria's mom refused, she seemed disgusted and revolted by me, and i begin to feel even more upset myself.

"mom, don't be like that. I can tell you why I chose Brandon.
first off,
i have grown to love this boy. i have grown to be by his side the entire way, to share fond memories and moments with him wherever we both shall go,
he became my world
he became my all
i have never loved someone so much. in fact, he is my true love.
and god..
im so in love with him
he is my happiness."

it took me all that i had to resist the urge to run over to aria and kiss her and hug her eternally, because she was having a moment with her mom.

"i understand sweetie. you are my daughter, i just want the best for you. and maybe I have been a little rough to Brandon,"
she looks to me and mouths the words "im sorry."

"but as I can see, you are happy with him-he makes you happy, and that's all I ever wanted."
Aria's mom smiles after she finishes talking and walks over to Aria to give her a hug.

her mom was finally accepting me, and this was going to be the start of me and aria's life together,
a new life that we were both going to share and overcome.

after the hug, aria's mom walked out and that is when i took the opportunity.
i ran over to Aria and hugged her tightly, and i could feel her arms wrap around me as well.
i laid down next to her and kissed her gently but passionately,
it was a kiss that i could keep on going forever because i longed for her taste,

but we can save that for later.
