Aria sat staring in complete disbelief. What is this guy playing at? That cat is a muderous loon! she thought to herself. Her mouth hanging wide open, she cradled her knees to her chest and prayed that he didn't bring the damn thing any closer to her.
Sitting there, watching him, she started to feel a weird feeling inside her chest, and for no reason at all, Aria started to laugh. She hadn't laughed in so long! It was a like a bubble bursting inside her. As she watched him, she noticed little things, like the fact that he had blood spatters over his clothes and he smelled... Really bad. She began to wonder what she had just gotten herself into. Was this guy some kind of crazed murderer? Was he going to turn on her?
Aria found herself backing away from him and moving closer to a stairway behind her. By the time he started to head up to his apartment, she was sat on one of the steps with her legs cradled to her chest, and she had began to shake uncontrollably. She wasn't sure if it was shock or cold, but she couldn't stop. Everything from there happened so fast, one second he was acting like a hero, the next it started to rain and then he was gone.
What the...?. Aria sat staring at the doorway where he had been standing and she couldn't help but wonder if she had offended him in some way. She wasn't even sure if she was relieved or upset that he had gone. People are so confusing!
With the rain pouring down in heavy waves, Aria sat where she was for a good ten minutes. She didn't really know what to do with herself. She hadn't spoken a word to him, she had avoided looking at him so he didn't start acting all weird, and he had still slammed the door on her. Eventually, Aria stood up and a sharp pain spread down her leg. Looking down she realised for the first time that she was bleeding from her knee. She had been in such a panic that she had dragged it across the floor when she crawled behind that guy.
"Great!" she whispered. "This is all I need right now" and Aria started to limp her way back the way she had come from.
The long, dark hair that usually flowed around her shoulder in big wavy curls was completely flat and had begun to stick to her face. Her green hoodie was heavy with water and her black skinny jeans were hugging her tighter than they usually did. Water squelched in her black sneakers and Aria felt more alone and full of sorrow than she had done in a long time. As she limped along, she began to cry, and all she could think was Why can't I just be normal?!.
