Dear Diary,

Ty did it he made me laugh for the first time in nine years.

~Aria

"Aria the last time you ran you broke your arm," Ty shouted to me, I was sitting near the pond with my arms wrapped around my legs.

I glanced up at him, he had my backpack in his hands.

I nodded.

"You have an amazing laugh," he sighed while sitting down next to me.

I shook my head.

"Why, why is laughing so bad?" he asked.

I put my head down so he couldn't see me.

"Don't hide your face," he demanded.

What the hell Aria. I was supposed to be avoiding him. But no here I am sitting next to him just about two blocks away from my house.

I looked up at him.

"I want to help you," he stated.

I am not a charity case!

I stood up and grabbed my backpack.

"Not like that, I mean I want you to trust me, I want to be friends," he added but he stumbled on the word friend.

I shook my head.

"No," he stated.

I began to walk away.

"Aria," he called.

I looked back at him.

"I guarantee I am more stubborn than you so challenge accepted," he grinned.

I looked at him as if he were crazy, wait he is crazy.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Don't give me that look," he scoffed.

I flipped him off once again and then walked away.

********************************************

Ty. That is all that's been through my head since I've been home!

UGH.

Today I woke up happy.

It is Saturday.

My dad leaves me here on Saturday's, he goes golfing I think.

I got up cleaned the entire house and then went to my pond.

Once I got there I smiled remembering the last time I was here.

I can't help but be a little sacred though.

I mean what did Ty mean by challenge accepted?

"Fancy meeting you here," an amused voice called.

I looked up to meet Ty's face.

I glared at him.

"Cute," he smirked.

I shook my head in response.

"Well the doctor, the one you saw a few days ago, wants to check your arm," he stated.

I shrugged.

"Is that a yes?" he asked but it sounded like it didn't matter what I implied.

I shook my head; I can't keep going out in public with him.

"It's really not an option Aria, you have to see if it's healing right," he sighed it sounded like he was explaining this to a small child.

I sighed.

"Come on," he grinned while grabbing my hand and pulling me to the parked car.

I got in and we rode to the doctors in comfortable silence.

We arrived and it was weird because I can kind of remember the doctors from when I was little but I don't remember it looking like this.

"This is my house," he stated.

I stared at him like he was crazy.

"The doctor inside is a family friend," he added.

I nodded I guess that's better than being at a real hospital where someone could tell my father that they saw me there.

I got out and Ty led me back into the small white room.

"Hello Arrabella I am just going to check your arm," the same lady I had before smiled.

I flinched away from her.

Ty sat next to me and held my other hand.

I sighed and then let her take the cast off.

I clenched my teeth together as she started to poke at it.

"Hurry," Ty growled.

"Yes sir," she replied.

I almost cussed out loud at the pain shooting through my arm.

I buried my head into the side of Ty's arm.

"It's okay," he soothed.

The lady put the cast back on and I lifted my head from Ty.

"Another two weeks," she informed.

I nodded.

"Thanks," Ty muttered while leading me out of the room.

We went out to what looked like a living room.

"Do you want to watch a movie?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Okay," he beamed while rushing over to the television.

He popped in one of the movies.

Ty was laughing at loud at this movie.

I almost laughed because his laugh is contagious but I swallowed all of them down.

I loved hearing him laugh.

"Come on this is hilarious," he chuckled again.

Wow he is trying to get me to laugh.

"You know you want to," he prompted.

I smiled at him but shook my head.

"Aria," he sang.

He then started ticking me!

I am a ticklish person however this hurt like hell.

I have bruises all over my ribs and hips which is exactly where Ty is pressing on.

I pushed his hands away.

"I'm sorry, you look hurt, is it your arm?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"Aria I'm really sorry," he apologized again.

I stopped him while holding up my hand.

I pointed at the clock and then got up.

"You have to go?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Okay I'll drive you," he smiled.

I nodded.

He drove me back to the house that wasn't actually my house.

I waved to him and then once again ran to my house.

Dear Diary,

Ty.

He isn't like dad.

Maybe all guys aren't the same..

~Aria

Sunday's always dragged on.

I woke up and cleaned the rest of the house and now I'm at the grocery store.

I walked down the cereal aisle finding my dad's favorites, since I was barely allowed to eat food I couldn't pick up anything I like.

"Aria," a voice called out.

My body instantly felt at ease telling me it was Ty.

I looked up and waved at him.

He came racing over and gave me a hug.

I flinched back at first but then I melted into him and hugged back.

He beamed at me.

"Are you here alone?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Grocery shopping?" he asked.

I smiled and kept walking.

Now why is he here?

I pointed at him and cocked my head to the side.

"Why am I here?" he asked.

I nodded. He looked a little embarrassed.

"I needed to pick up a few things," he shrugged, he was lying I think.

Why would he come all the way to this market when there is a convenient shop like a block away from his house? Oh my, is he following me?

No why would he be it's not like two people can't be at the same place at the same time.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked.

I smirked and then grabbed some cereal and tossed it into my cart.

"Oh you aren't going to tell me?" he mocked as he started walking with me to the meat section.

I shook my head.

"Really?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Hm, well I guess I could always kidnap you," he teased.

I punched his arm.

"Ow okay you're tough, but I could take you," he joked.

I shook my head.

"I'm just saying," he defended while putting his hands up in mock surrender.

I rolled my eyes and then headed to the check out.

"So do you have any plans the rest of the day?" he asked hopefully.

I nodded while pointing to the steak in my cart.

"You are going to eat that?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"Make it?" he suggested.

I nodded.

"You're going to make it and then not eat it?" he joked.

Well it was true I was going to make it and then my dad was going to eat it.

If there were left over's then I might get some.

"Well you should eat it," he stated.

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"You should eat more," he added.

I shook my head.

My body is naturally smaller, I am only five foot three inches. But Ty's right, I should eat more.

"You're beautiful regardless," he smiled.

I punched his arm again.

"It was a compliment," he defended.

He was right it was a compliment. I am just not used to receiving them.

After I checked out I headed outside.

"Are you walking home?" he asked.

I hesitantly nodded.

"I will drive you," he almost demanded.

I shook my head in protest.

It was too late he already took my bags and put them in his car.

I walked over to take them out.

"Aria I will take you home or walk you home," he ordered.

I sighed.

I bet I could out run him.

I was about to take my bags when Ty pulled me away from the car then shut the door opened the front one pushed me in and buckled me.

He then got in his side.

I punched him when he got in.

"Yeah I knew that was coming," he laughed.

He drove me to my fake house. I got my groceries out of the back and then waved to him, I walked to my house and then started to put the groceries away.

I smiled at the thought of Ty, he just makes me smile.
