We walked for some time. If I ever managed to see Alfie again, I would give him a piece of my mind, about leaving me with Regan.
Walking ahead of them, I sigh. I thought I had finally found someone who understood my situation, but obviously he was like everyone else.

"Aria, Wait!" Yells Regan, making me regret ever letting myself go with them.
"Go away." I mutter, not hiding my frustration the slightest.
"Please, just-" he says, making me put my hands up to my mouth, implying that he needs to shsh.
"I don't care. Okay? Leave me alone." I say, heading away faster. Grabbing my hand, he takes a deep breath.
"Aria, Please. I didn't mean for you to get hurt. Alfie didn't tell you, but you see I was hired to bully you." I look at him with a tired expression.
"I get it, you hate me! But there's no reason to lie about it!" I yell, making it so he couldn't hold my arm anymore. He smiles, and grabs my arm again.

"I WAS HIRED TO BULLY YOU, ARIA! I don't hate you!" He yells, almost sounding surprised. I couldn't believe this. He was being like a little kid. How could he be hired to bully me?

"Leave me alone! Alfie was stupid leaving me with you!" I yell, and grab a stick from the ground. Regan stops me from grabbing the stick, and helps me when I trip over my own two feet.

"Aria, please? I want you to understand... That I would never hurt you." He says, making me look at his eyes. They were glowing a bright yellow that only meant one thing; Love. He was feeling love.

"Oh, yeah? You bullied me all those years, Regan. I can't trust anything you say. I'm sorry..." I say. Grabbing my sleeve, I fiddle with it. I almost managed to slip under my brain liquid that was seeping through my body, but I don't let it. I won't let it.

"Aria, please-" he starts, but I break off into a run. It was all so much for me. Usually, when things got to much for me, I would faint, or get really bad headaches. That was happening now. A pounding drumline was beating in my ears, and I was trying to block it out.

I knew that I couldn't out run him. But it was worth a shot. It was sad, because here's me thinking that Alfie and I had connected. But actually, we hadn't. He was just doing his job. Protecting me.

I know this is short!!! Sorry!
