Love me, anyway. (Sparia)

Chapter 5

Spencer:

When Aria and Emily entered to Hanna's room again Aria was crying, so I got up almost instantly and ran to her.

-Aria, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

-Yeah, just forget about what happened, Spence.

She sat in Hanna's bed and I looked at Emily, who just shrugged.

After watching a movie, we all went to bed. When I was about to fall asleep I felt Aria moving her body closer as mine as she could.

-Do you want a hug? -I whispered
She nodded

I wrapped my arms around her waist and I could feel how she stopped breathing for a few seconds

-Ar? You okay? -I asked lifting my head a bit, in a failed attempt to see her
Then I felt how she normalised her breathing...or at least how she tried to.

-Yeah... -she whispered

-You know? I really want to know what happened, I hate seeing you cry -I said in a soft tone

-You really don't care? -she asked after a while

-What? About what?

-About the...kiss -she said almost in a whisper

I sat up and tried to look at her eyes, but she wouldn't look at me

-Why do you care so much about it? Like, do you have a problem with it or something?

She took a deep breath and then turned around to face me

-No, I don't. I just...-

-Did you ask Hanna to dare you to do it? -I ask directly interrupting her

-I...yeah. I did.

-Can I know why? I mean if you don't want to tell me...-

-I guess... -She said interrupting me- I was just curious about how it felt? I don't know! I don't want to talk about it -she said before turning around again

-Hey, it's okay. There's nothing wrong with being curious, okay?

She slowly nodded

-But... why me, though? Emily was there and she's-

-Spencer! -she yelled suddenly getting up from the bed- why is it so hard for you not to talk about it? It was just a kiss! Why is it so important!?

It really took me by surprise. I didn't expect her to react like that.

-Aria... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... I mean I just...-

-Leave it. I can't be here right now. -she said before leaving the room.
