~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER SIXTEEN~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"YOU'RE ENGAGED?!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~
MY POV
~~~
We finally got back from our 'Girl time' and when I saw Aidan sitting at the kitchen table I was a little confused.
"Hey, Aidan. What are you doing here?" I asked, casually. I said I was over it and I meant it.
"I came to apologize. What I said wasn't necessary and I also came to tell you something." He said, looking anywhere but my eyes.
Uh oh. That's never a good sign.
Kage and Ryan were sitting in the living room and I sat across from Aidan.
"Go ahead..." I said, cautiously.
~~~
"YOU'RE ENGAGED?!" I screamed.
"Ya..." He said looking away from me.
"YOU KISSED ME AND YOU'RE ENGAGED?!" You're not supposed to kiss a girl and just tell her you're engaged! It just doesn't roll that way!
"HOW COULD YOU?!" I screamed again.
"I-" He started but I cut him off.
"Save the apologies for somebody who actually cares. I can't believe you would do something like this." I said in a calm voice.
"Jess-" I again, cut him off.
"Don't call me that!" I yelled. I lost all respect for him.
"I'm sorry." He said.
"Sorry? Sorry?! That's the best you got?!" Here I was, a heartbroken girl who just got heartbroken again. By the same guy, too! You'd think I'd learn. "I HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY LIFE WITH YOUR FUCKING WIFE!" I screamed, running upstairs to my room. I locked the door and stood with my back to it. I slid down it and into a sitting position.

AIDAN'S POV
~~~
"That went well." Kage stated, standing beside me.
"Define 'well'." Ryan said, standing beside Kage.
"I was expecting her to at least hurt you. Guess I was wrong." He said.
Truthfully. She really did hurt me. Juts not physically. I could see the hurt and betrayal in her eyes. That was enough to make a guy cry. If I looked in her dark brown eyes for more then two second I knew I would be balling my eyes out. Jazzy, Amby and another girl gave me dirty looks before running upstairs to the room that was now blasting music. I sighed and closed my eyes.
I hate arranged marriages.

MY POV
~~~
My iPod speakers were blasting out my music. It really didn't help because of the songs they were playing. I switched it for the third time and finally came to a song that I liked. That would get my mind off things. I figured crying wouldn't help so I just stared at myself in the mirror for a while. That doesn't help either. My eyes were red from crying and I wiped them away again. I groaned and I sat down on the ground and just thought. Then I felt one of my daggers poking me. I pulled it out and threw it at my mirror. The glass cracked and broke. Glass flew to the ground but it only fell around me. Not on hitting me. I was too engrossed in my thought to care. There was no point in moping because either way, he'd still get married. I got up off the ground and heard Jazzy, Lea and Amby banging on my door. I walked over the glass- getting a cut on my feet here and there but I didn't pay attention. I walked out onto my balcony and looked out onto the forest. It was about four or something like that. Since it was almost winter the sun was lower then usual. I felt a cold breeze and I zipped up my sweater more. I quietly sang along to the lyrics that were blasting out of the speakers.
"...When I woke up today
And I saw your face
I knew there was something wrong
I just can't get away with all these fucked up things I try
tell me why?
I am going through these changes
I don't know what is going on
Something is happening to me
Something is happening to me
It's too late to save me from myself
After all the damage that I've caused
I wish there was some way that I could put me back the way I was..."
I sighed and blew my bangs out of my eyes. I looked farther into the forest and I could've sworn I saw glowing red eyes. They were staring right back at me. Suddenly they got closer and closer until a figure emerged from the forest. He was breath taking. He was staring up at me and walking forward... Suddenly, my door burst open and Jazzy, Amby and Lea stumbled in. I quickly turned back to them and they were staring at the glass and the blood surrounding my feet. Guess I was standing out here for longer then I thought. Then I remembered the guy I saw. I turned back around and looked to the place where I saw him. But he was gone. Just like that...
