Dear Diary,

I'm working up the courage to talk to Ty. Today is Sunday and he hasn't really pushed me to talk since yesterday.

We have watched movies for most of the day.

I'm supposed to be in the bathroom right now, but you know me always thinking about you.

~Aria

I walked back into the living room where Ty was taking the Hunger Games DVD out of the player.

He smiled at me and without warning pushed me on the couch and started tickling me, being careful of where my bruises are, I can't believe he remembers where they are!

I laughed and pushed at his hands.

"Nope I like it when you laugh," he laughed in evilness.

I glared at him. He stopped and I let out a breath in relief. He smirked and then moved his hands closer again. I squirmed under him and then pushed at him so I was straddling his stomach. I then took my hands and started ticking him. I got to this one spot on his neck where he cringed and pleaded for me to stop. I laughed and then jumped off him and the couch.

"Don't start something you can't finish," he challenged.

I giggled and then ran to the stairs. It was too late because he was already caught up to me.

"Do you give?" he demanded.

I nodded. He let me go and I punched him in the arm.

"Oh yeah?" he challenged while pinning me to the wall.

I laughed until my arm started hurting.

"What's wrong?" he instantly asked.

I sucked in a breath and then held my cast covered arm.

"Oh shit," he muttered while scooping me up in his arms and taking me to the couch.

"Are you okay?" he started.

"I'm so sorry," he rambled.

"I forgot, how could I be so stupid?" he went on.

I scanned the room for my notepad but I must have left it upstairs.

"Are you mad?" he asked.

"How much does it hurt?" he questioned.

"Does it still hurt?" he went on.

I put my hand on his arm to stop him but he kept going. I need something more! I cleared my throat but nothing came out.

TALK! I screamed in my head. I tried but nothing came out. Ty was now going on about how he needs to be more careful.

"Ty," I whispered, I didn't think he heard it.

His head snapped up.

"Ty, stop," I silently commanded.

I froze and my stomach flipped.

"Aria," he beamed.

I started to breath heavily.

"Shh, breathe," he soothed.

I nodded but I couldn't. I groaned and felt my throat closing up. Ty swung me into him and ran to the nurse. I fought with her as she put the mask on me, I can do this! She held my hands and forced it on me and once again I drifted away.

"She talked," Ty exclaimed I could tell he was beaming.

"At least we know she wants to," the nurse added.

"Of course she wants to," Ty commented.

"My baby, talked," he repeated.

I groaned.

"Aria?" he asked.

I opened my eyes and saw him. He reached down and hugged me. I was back in his room. I smiled at him.

"You did it babe," he cheered.

I grabbed my notepad.

'Babe?' I wrote.

"It's a nickname," he defended.

I rolled my eyes.

"I love your voice," he complimented.

I fake glared at him.

I sat up.

'Help,' I wrote.

"Come on Ar say it," he pleaded.

"Help," I whispered.

He grinned and then picked me up.

"Where to?" he asked.

I pointed to my notepad.

"You don't need it," he ordered.

I sighed and cleared my throat.

"Downstairs," I announced.

I couldn't get my voice above a whisper but at least I can whisper without the memories coming back. He sat me at the bar and then he headed to the fridge.

"Do you want some chicken nuggets?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Aria," he sang.

I smiled while shaking my head.

"Come on you have to get used to it," he reminded.

I sighed.

"Yes," I whispered. Ty grinned and then put them into the oven.

Carter walked in smiling.

"Do I smell chicken nuggets?" he asked.

I raised my eyebrows at him they has been in the oven for a minute how could he have smelled them?

"Make your own dip shit," Ty laughed while sitting next to me.

"Hey Aria," he greeted.

I smiled and waved and then ducked my head into Ty. Ty chuckled and I pushed my face deeper into him. After we had lunch we went back upstairs and sat on Ty's bed.

"Aria?" he asked.

I looked up at him.

"What's your middle name?" he asked while smiling.

I shook my head.

"Can I guess?" he asked.

I shrugged.

"J right?" he confirmed.

I nodded, this is so embarrassing!

"Jessica?" he asked.

I shook my head.

"Hey if we are going to play you have to say yes or no," he declared.

"No," I whispered.

"Jaylee?" he smiled.

"No," I repeated.

"Um Joyce?" he asked.

"No," I laughed.

"Joy?" he shot out.

"No," I replied.

"Jackie?" he asked.

"Nope," I smiled.

"Jason?" he asked.

"No," I laughed.

"Hey it could be a middle name for a girl," he demanded.

I felt my face heat up.

"Wait is it a boy middle name?" he asked.

"Maybe," I teased.

"Jackson?" he asked.

"No," I sighed.

"Jacob?" he asked.

"No," I repeated.

"John, Jude, Jack, Jeremiah, James?" he listed.

"Yes," I smiled.

"Which one?" he asked.

"James," I replied while blushing.

"Arrabella James Middletin?" he asked.

I sighed.

"That's not even embarrassing," he chuckled.

'Yes it is,' I wrote on my pad of paper, I don't think I'm ready for sentences yet.

"Oh sure," he snorted.

'What's yours?' I wrote.

"My full name?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Guess," he teased.

'At least tell me your last name,' I wrote.

"Benson," he replied.

'First initial of middle name?' I wrote.

"D," he replied.

'Danny?' I wrote.

"No," he smirked.

I rolled my eyes.

'David?' I wrote.

"Nope," he replied.

'Denis?' I wrote.

"No," he repeated.

'Drew?' I wrote.

"No," he smiled.

'Dalton?' I wrote.

"Bingo and we have winner," he teased.

'Tyson Dalton Benson,' I confirmed.

"Yep, that's my name," he laughed.

'When am I going back?' I slowly wrote.

"Back, you mean to your old house?" he growled.

I looked down and nodded.

"Why are you still thinking about going back?" he demanded.

'It's not like I can stay here forever,' I wrote.

"Why not?" he asked mad and hurt at the same time.

I looked up and gave him in an "are you serious" look.

"You can live here," he stated.

'I know Ty but eventually I have to face it,' I wrote.

"You will never face him, not alone," he demanded.

'Stop,' I wrote.

"You stop, Aria I don't even know what this is about," he sighed.

I looked down again and sighed.

"Look at me," he softly replied.

I shook my head while keeping it down.

"Aria," he demanded.

"Arrabella," he tried.

"Arrabella James," he teased.

He then put his hand under my chin and held my head up. I pushed him away but kept my head up.

"What is it?" he asked.

I looked back at him and was at loss of what to say.

What could I say? I mean I like Ty a lot but I don't want him trapped in my problems. He just told me to live here with him but what about after high school; won't he go to college or something?

'This is my problem,' I wrote.

"Well I'm making it mine," he shrugged.

'Why?' I wrote.

"I care about you," he carefully replied.

'Why?' I rewrote.

"Because I see something in you that not even you see in yourself," he replied.

'Thanks Ty,' I wrote.

"Anytime," he grinned.

After that we ate dinner and then I took a shower. It was already ten when I exited the bathroom and Ty was lying on the bed.

He smiled when he saw me. I smiled back and climbed in next to him.

"I set the alarm for six," he reminded.

I groaned as he turned out the lights.

He chuckled and then I turned over so I was lying on my stomach.

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

I woke up and heard talking from outside the door.

I looked over at the clock and saw that it is only 11:30.

"Hey man that's what I heard," I heard a voice say.

"Then whose left?" another one said and I know that was Carter.

"Um, I don't know Aiden found his mate yesterday," the first voice declared.

Mate?

"Yeah I heard that so that leaves me and you man," Carter laughed.

"Yeah who would have thought Tyson would have found his mate before us," the first voice asked.

"Yeah but hey she's going to be great," Carter defended.

"Yeah I hear she's really doing well, I wonder when Tyson will tell her," the voice wondered.

"Same here I hear he's going to tell her soon too, well man I'm going to bed," Carter yawned.

"Yea night man," the other voice called.

I thought about Tyson with another girl and it made my heart clench. Why is Carter always here anyways? I mean does he live here too? Just then Ty grabbed me and pulled me into him. I snuggled into him and he mumbled something in his sleep. I then let my eyes close and I slowly drifted away.
