This is easily my favorite chapter, because it's got Evan in it. You'll see later why I like Evan. Mr. Fabulous..is fabulous...and even the person who role plays as Evan, is freaking perfection..It's like..not even fair..He's sweet..he's kind...he's pretty damn attractive..and he's modest about it. FKDJAKFJDSKFJKSADFHE It annoys the shiz nips out of me ;-;. Also, at this time...Pal is now 11 and Ari is around 22 help me with the math of how many years it's been, because Ari was 19 when the story first started!

           As I made my way to a lake, I started to eat some of the plants.  I sighed in relief, since it'd been a while since I'd last fed. "Aria?" A familiar voice asked. I turned around, coming face to face with the person I'd been trying to avoid. "I knew it was you." He chuckled. "Go away." I growled. "Nah, I'll pass...looks like I've found you again." He smirked. "I always find you." I spat on him. "Go....away!" I yelled. "What are you gonna do about it, huh?" He taunted.

"Hey, leave her alone!" A voice yelled at Adam. "And what will you do if I don't?" Adam stuck his tongue out at the person. "I'll..I'll hurt you!" He exclaimed. "Fine! Bring it!" Adam growled. The stranger tapped his shoe, a metal bat coming out of the end of it. He took the bat swinging it around. "Hey! No fair man!" Adam frowned. "Well, maybe you shouldn't be hurting innocent girls!" The stranger growled. "She ain't innocent, she's a slut! A slut!" Adam yelled. I felt myself cringe, going back into my metaphorical turtle shell. Adam ran off realizing he didn't have a chance. "I'LL GET YOU ONE DAY!" He screamed. "I'LL GET YOU!" I shook, scared. He could've beaten me again, but I was saved. The person who had saved me walked up to me, noticing how I had curled up in a ball. "You okay?" He asked, holding out a hand with a smile. "I-I..." I stuttered, taking his hand.

"Come on, don't worry...he's gone now." The man said. "T-thank you." I smiled weakly. "No problemo." He grinned. "I...I'm Ari.." I said. "Evan Grandslav...nice to meet you." He shook my hand. I watched his eyes carefully, his hair a bit of a mess. "What's his problem anyways?" He asked me. "He's..my ex-boyfriend." I admitted. "Oh, that guy's crazy." He laughed awkwardly. "Try being his girlfriend." I said. "No thanks." Evan cringed.

"It's pretty cold out here, you should get home." He said. "I can't..." I sighed. "Why not? Scared he'll find you?" He asked. "No, I got kicked out of my apartment..." I replied. "Oh, if ya need a place to stay..you could always stay with me...I've got a son...Pal." He said. Pal, why'd the name seem so familiar... "I..I couldn't ask that of you." I shook my head. "No no, I insist." He smiled, leading me to his house. "O-okay." I nodded. That was the day, my life had changed for ever, but in the greatest way possible, for what lies ahead for us two...was a wonderful future...with lots and lots of problems!
