My heart’s a mess
•Azalea
I sat in the library staring out the window wondering where Arius might have went, he had bandaged his arms and changed his shirt before heading out to somewhere. I'm glad it was just a cut though.
He seemed to know who that assailant was and seeing how he ran away like that. He probably didn't know Arius was there. I mean no one would run away seeing me.
He lied to me.
To keep me calm? To make me not worry? What is he hiding? He even got hurt, to protect me?
I heard someone approach me and I looked the other way to see Ayaan. His small frame was holding a notepad in his hands. It's hard to believe he's thirteen.
I smiled at him and patted the cushion beside me, telling him to come and sit with me.
He walked over and took his seat next to me. He looked out of the window too. There isn't much of a view to see but trees and the sky yet still it is somehow calming.
