Dear Diary,

I once again got out of Ty's grip to write to you.

UGH!

For once I can't put his feeling to words... maybe it's because having someone here for me is a foreign feeling.

I really thought Ty would have given up on me by now but he hasn't. In fact we keep building a stronger bond everyday and everyday I feel more and more comfortable with him. Everyday I want to talk to him even more.

~Aria

I climbed back into bed and looked over at the clock.

It was only 2:00am this time.

I sighed in content; I still have four more hours of sleep.

The next couple days went by about the same. Everyday Ty and I went to school together and then came home and he had these things for me to do. Today is Friday! It's weird because my dad hasn't even tried to get a hold of me since I left.

"Come on please," Ty pouted.

'I can't think of one,' I admitted.

He asked me to draw my favorite memory.

I then drew language class and him and I sitting in it.

'Meeting you,' I wrote under the picture.

He looked confused for a second and then really happy.

"Aw I'm flattered," he said in honesty but he was mocking me at the same time.

I rolled my eyes.

"What's your favorite number?" he asked.

'13,' I wrote.

"Isn't that an unlucky number?" he teased.

I stuck my tongue out at him.

"Favorite season?" he asked.

'Spring,' I wrote.

"When's your birthday?" he asked.

I thought about it for a moment oh yeah I remember.

'May 8th," I wrote.

"Where is your diary?" he asked.

'What?' I asked.

"I want to read it," he laughed.

'NO,' I wrote.

"Where is it?" he repeated.

'At my dad's," I lied.

He didn't even catch the lie, he just sat there have stunned half about to pee himself over happiness.

'Care to share why you look like you're about to pee yourself?' I wrote.

He chuckled.

"You didn't call it home," he explained.

I shrugged that place wasn't home.

"But seriously where is it?" he asked while jumping off the bed.

'TY STOP,' I wrote while standing in front of him and holding it up.

"Aw did you write about me?" he teased.

I blushed and avoided eye contact.

"YOU DID," he laughed.

I punched him.

"Come on Aria I'm just teasing," he mocked.

I pointed at the bed.

"No because I really want to read it now," he challenged.

'Too bad it's at my dad's,' I wrote.

"Too bad it's not," he snorted.

I groaned and pushed him.

"Fine," he pouted.

I yawned and looked over at the clock it was almost midnight!

"Wow we lost track of time," he chuckled.

I nodded and set my notebook on the side table. Ty turned out the lights and climbed into bed. I climbed in after him and sighed in content.

"Did you just sigh?" he asked.

I nodded even though he probably couldn't see me. The bed shifted and I reached out my hand that came in contact with his face. I giggled and then squinted my eyes. My eyes were already adjusting and I could now tell that he had propped himself up on his elbow. I turned my head more to look at him.

"You're beautiful," he stated while stroking my cheek.

Could he even see me right now? My stomach dropped a little, a little in happiness but also a little in fright.

"Well goodnight," he sighed and lay back down.

Well that was weird. I rolled over to my stomach and closed my eyes. I can finally go to the place where I can talk; my dreams.

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

"DAD, STOP" I screamed while he looked at Ty murderously.

"Don't speak" he screamed.

"TY," I shouted.

He disappeared in the forest.

My dad started to come towards me.

"TY," I screamed where is he?

A wolf came out of the forest, wait a wolf?

"NO," I cried.

My dad was suddenly gone.

My mom replaced where he stood, motioning for me to come to her. Is she crazy? I look between her and the wolf standing only ten feet from her.

"LEAVE ME ALONE," I screamed.

"Come on Aria," Ty called wait where is he?

"TY," I screamed.

The ground started shaking. Is there an earthquake?

"ARIA," a voice screamed.

"NO, TY HELP," I pleaded while tears streamed down my face. Where is he? What's happening?

"WAKE UP," it demanded.

Wake up?

I looked up towards where the sky should be, but I'm greeted with darkness.

"Ty," I sobbed.

"I'm right here come on open your eyes," he pleaded.

I squeezed my eyes shut and let the blackness take over.

***

"Come on try," he begged.

I groaned while opening my eyes. I saw Ty's concerned face we were in his room. I wiped my face to realize I had actually been crying, but if I was actually crying does that mean I was actually screaming?

I froze at that thought. My airway felt like it was tightening.

"HUH," I gasped for air but nothing filled my lungs.

"Aria?" he asked.

"Huh," I tried again.

He then ripped me from the bed and ran downstairs.

"HELP," he demanded.

A light in the doctors room went on and the nurse came out.

"She can't breathe," he shouted.

He laid me on the bed while the nurse put a mask on me.

It made it easier to breathe; it also made me really tired.

I mean seriously what time is it?

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

"She is mentally traumatized," a girl replied.

"Traumatized?" Ty asked. TY! Where is he?

"When she talks it triggers something in her brain that makes her go into a panic attack," she reasoned.

"How do I fix it?" he questioned.

"She needs to realize that it's okay to talk and nothing happens when she does," the girl answered.

Oh shit they were talking about me. So I was actually screaming; Ty's going to make me talk.

Well maybe this will actually help. Maybe I will get my voice back.

"Aria?" he asked.

I groaned.

"Open your eyes baby," he soothed.

Baby?

"Aria" he ordered.

"Arrabella," he demanded.

I opened them and realized I was back in Ty's room and the nurse was gone. I went to sit up but he pushed me down.

"Nope today we are staying in bed," he smiled.

I rested my head on his shoulder and nodded.

"Do you know what happened last night?" he asked.

I nodded.

"You screamed for me in your sleep," he remembered.

I nodded.

"You know that?" he asked.

'It's safe to talk in my dreams,' I wrote.

"You know it's safe to talk now too?" he added.

I shrugged.

"What happens when you talk?" he asked.

'Can't breathe,' I wrote.

"Why not?" he pushed.

I lifted my head off him and sat up. He watched me carefully as I angled myself towards him.

'You don't have to do this,' I wrote.

"Do what?" he asked.

'THIS! I know its okay to talk Ty you don't need to play therapist,' I scribbled down.

"I'm not playing anything," he growled.

I froze that sounded like the growl from my dream, but who was it that growled? I backed away and tried to get off the bed but my legs felt weird.

"You can't walk Aria," Ty stated.

I looked at him confused.

"The gas mask," he explained.

I nodded but tried to anyways. Ty grabbed my hips and pulled me away from the edge of the bed. Well this is just perfect, I'm trapped!

"Aria please, why can't you talk?" I looked down and started biting on my thumb.

"Arrabella what happens when you talk?" he asked.

'I can't breathe!' I wrote.

"That's not true you make yourself think that," he demanded.

'That's not true Ty,' I wrote.

"It is you have a panic attack," he stated.

'Sorry I can't control it,' I wrote.

He scooted closer to me and I flinched back.

"I can prove it to you, say something," he encouraged.

'I'm tired,' I wrote.

"Fine, sleep," he sighed while helping me lay down.

I closed my eyes and Ty turned out the lights and lay next to me.

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

"Come on you can do it," Ty encouraged.

I laughed at his eagerness.

"It's just like laughing," he bribed.

I nodded.

"What should I say?" I chirped.

He laughed.

"I like you Aria," he announced.

"I like you Ty," I replied.

**

"What," a voice from the outside said.

I squeezed my eyes and let myself fade into the blackness.

I then opened my eyes to see Ty looking at me in awe.

I looked at him questionably.

"Hold on nurse," Ty shouted.

Yeah right like the nurse has nothing better to do then come and observe me. The nurse came in and I rolled my eyes.

"Aria you just said Ty," he announced.

I blushed, he heard me again? Why didn't I say the rest of the sentence? Oh my goodness what if it's not safe to talk in my dreams anymore?

Why do I keep talking out loud?

I started coughing.

"You're fine, it's fine," Ty soothed while holding me.

I took some deep breaths and snuggled into him.

"Thank you, you can leave," Ty ordered and I assume she left.

"See you talked and it was okay," he reminded.

I took a deep breath again, Ty's scent is amazing, and then pulled away to meet his eyes.

"I'm proud of you," he reminded.

I grinned and his face mirrored mine.

Maybe it is okay to talk.
