Dear Diary,

I can't be seen with Ty anymore. My black eye is too black and blue to be covered.

He's going to ask me what happened, he's going to ask me to draw it.

I can't keep lying to him, it hurts me too bad.

The only thing I can do is save him.

I know how to save him but it might be hard.

I need to stop almost laughing when he's around, stop smiling and just be the mute freak.

I must stop becoming friends with him.

~Aria

I walked to school and sat down in English.

"What happened?" Ty asked while grabbing my face with his hand and rubbing his thumb over my swollen eye.

Stay strong Aria.

I shook my head.

"Draw it right now," he demanded.

I sat there looking down and fidgeting with my cast, why can't he just leave me alone?

"Arrabella," he growled.

He took his hand and grabbed my jaw and forced me to look up at him. It didn't hurt but I flinched back anyways.

"Draw it," he repeated.

I looked at him emotionlessly.

Whenever we touched I felt this weird tingling feeling through me, I just need him to get his hand away from my face!

He groaned in frustration and grabbed the pencil on the desk and shoved it in my hand.

I held onto it waiting to see what he would do next.

He put the piece of paper in front of me.

"Draw," he pushed.

He really did think I was stupid.

That bothered me more than should, but I held back the tears and threw the pencil at him.

"Everyone, take a seat," the teacher whose name I still don't remember announced.

Finally, I need to stop getting here early.

Ty sat down looking furious.

The whole class he would shift in his seat and sigh every once in a while.

He would glance over at me as well, but I never looked back.

The bell rang and I got out of my seat grabbed my backpack and left.

I don't really know why I'm in school.

I fail all my classes except math. I'm good at math and with numbers. I can write numbers, numbers don't hurt to write, numbers don't make me remember..

I felt two strong arms grab me and I almost yelled in shock.

I turned around to see Ty had pulled me into an empty classroom.

He shut the door and then stood in front of it with his arms crossed.

I tried to go around him but wouldn't budge.

"You aren't leaving until I know who did that," he stated while referring to my black eye.

I backed away from him and sat in one of the desks, I don't need this!

He doesn't realize how hard he is making this for me.

"Aria who did this to you?" he asked.

My dad did!

I shrugged.

He walked over to me and grabbed my hand.

I tried to pull it away but he wouldn't let go.

"Please tell me," he begged.

I sighed and then grabbed a pencil from my bag and my notepad.

I pulled my hand from his and then drew a door.

"You ran into a door?" he asked.

I nodded.

"When?" he asked.

I drew a moon.

"Last night?" he asked, he didn't believe me I could tell.

"Are you sure?" he questioned.

I looked at him and then glanced down and nodded.

"Okay thank you for telling me," he smiled.

Why? Now I feel like crap. I promised myself I'd stay away from him and now I'm lying to him.

I stood up and then pulled the door open and walked out.

It's bad enough that I have this cast on my arm and now I have a black eye.

I also always have to wear a scarf because my father's finger prints won't go away.

I walked into history and sat down at my desk.

After that class was over I walked into chemistry.

Ty was already in there waiting for me.

He smiled when he saw me. I felt bad for what I was about to do but I had to do this.

I walked by his table and sat down at the table in the corner.

I didn't dare look back at him though he was basically burning a hole through my head with his stare.

I watched the clock the entire hour and when the bell rang I nearly sprinted out of the room.

I went to my locker and then I sat outside by my tree.

I pulled out Twilight and began to read to distract myself from how hungry I am.

"Hey," a familiar voice greeted.

I looked up to see Carter.

I smiled and gave him a small wave.

"So you should come sit with us?" he asked.

I looked over and saw Jason and Ty sitting at a table.

I shook my head.

"Are you and Ty in a fight?" he joked but he seemed like he knew that something was wrong.

I shrugged we weren't in a fight and we aren't really even friends.

"You two should um work it out," he suggested.

I shook my head.

"Why not?" he questioned.

I pointed to my arm.

"I'm not following you," he sighed.

I sighed back and then pointed at him and then the table Ty was at.

"You aren't going to come with me are you?" he stated in defeat.

I smiled and gave him a thumb up.

"Alright well if you change your mind we'll be over there," he added before walking away.

He went over and started talking to Ty.

I went back to book but I already knew that someone was now standing in front of me.

"Aria does your arm hurt?" Ty asked.

I ignored him, can't he see I'm doing this for his own good and my safety.

"Please don't ignore me," he pleaded.

I looked up and met his worried gaze.

I shook my head.

"Your arm doesn't hurt?" he asked.

I nodded my face hurts more.

"Aren't you going to eat?" he commented.

I shook my head.

"That's really not healthy I mean you are already really skinny," he stated I can tell he was trying not to snap at me.

I nodded.

"Yes, you're going to eat or yes you understand?" he asked.

I held up a two.

"The second one, you understand," he sighed.

I nodded; of course I understand dumb shit.

I sighed in frustration.

"Why didn't you sit by me in Chemistry?" he asked.

Are we even friends?

I shrugged and then pointed to the table his friends were sitting at.

"I should go back to my table?" he asked.

Well I guess that works too.

I nodded.

"Why are you mad at me?" he asked.

I stood up and was about to walk away when he grabbed onto my arm.

"Aria," he stated.

I slapped his hand away.

"Please don't shut me out," he begged.

I pointed to his friends once again and then walked away. Why can't this boy just get it through his brain that we can't be friends?

Dear Diary,

Today was hard.

I failed.

Ty heard me scream.. he knows I'm capable of talking.

He makes me want to talk and laugh. I'm lost. We will both end up getting hurt in the end so why can't I seem to get him out of my mind? Why does he even talk to me?

My dad is home.. I'm scared. Why does he have to hurt me? I hurt me too and I hate myself for it.

Ty will end up hating me if I keep ignoring him maybe he will stop talking to me. I don't know if I can take anymore pain...

~Aria

I woke up the next morning feeling sad.

My dad left me alone last night. I just need to stay away from Ty and avoid his friends. How hard can that be?

I walked into English arriving just before the bell rang.

Ty was sitting in his usual spot, looking well besides the obvious, incredibly adorable but also he looked tired.

I sat down in my seat next to him and faced the front.

I didn't look at him.

I didn't even acknowledge the fact I had seen him when I walked in.

After English I went to break. Today I sat on a bench away from my tree and away from Ty and his friends.

"Hey," a boy from my math class waved.

I gave him a small smile and waved back.

"Do you think you can give me the homework from last night?" he asked.

I nodded and wrote it down for him. I can write numbers for him; no words just numbers.

"Thanks Arrabella," he smiled while walking away.

Surely there had to be someone else he could of asked, what is it with the guys at this school?

What was his name anyways Damon, Dustin, Dlake, wait Dlake is that even a name?

"What did Drake want?" Ty asked while sitting down next to me.

DRAKE! Yes, thank the lord that would have bugged me.

"What's that smile for?" he asked.

I shook my head and then wrote down the math assignment again.

"He wanted the homework," he nodded.

I nodded, why was he watching me anyways?

"So why can he call you Arrabella without being slapped?" he smirked.

I rolled me eyes.

"I'm curious," he shrugged.

I drew a cat on my paper.

"Oh curiously killed the cat?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Well I'm not a cat am I?" he asked.

I laughed. It was quick, but Ty heard it.

It just came out of my mouth so naturally. I covered my mouth in shock.

Ty looked at me with mix emotions.

I got off the bench and ran.

I left my backpack and ran.

I ran until I reached the pond near my house.

Ty is going to be the death of me.
