"Ariana, he has his own demons and right now you need to let his demons go. You can't keep on being responsible for him. We're all living our own life's, and not another life. Right now you need to rest, alright?"
Ariana was listening to Harry as he gave her advice. And he gave some good advice. She actually felt better already.
He was also still holding her hands which helped too.
"I'm already feeling better, thank you. You're actually a great therapist, you know?" Harry smiled and said: "Well, I always wanted to be a psychologist so maybe it's because of that."
They stood up and hugged.
Now that Ariana was thinking clearer she wanted to clean herself up a bit and so she asked: "Harry, can I maybe take a shower?"
"Of course." Harry gave her a towel and a loofah and showed her where the shower was.
Ariana undressed and stepped in the big shower. She enjoyed the hot water on her shoulders and after cleaning herself with a soap that smelled like Harry she felt much better.
She liked the soap, it felt like home in some way.
It felt like Harry.
When Ariana stepped out of the shower she realised she didn't bring any clothes. She could put the dirty ones back on but she didn't want to and so the only option was to ask Harry for her bag.
Which wouldn't be awkward since they were good friends. Just good friends.
Ariana wrapped the huge towel all around her and unlocked the door. She opened it slightly and called Harry's name.
Harry immediately came. "Are you alright?"
Ariana nodded. "I just need my bag." She said.
Then Harry saw she was just wearing the towel. He immediately turned around. "I'm so sorry!" He said. "I didn't know you were..."

"It's okay, I just need my bag so..." Ariana interrupted.
Harry almost ran away to get her bag and quickly gave it to her. Ariana giggled and went back into the bathroom.
She she was giggling like a teenager because Harry was so shy about her being naked so close to him. She got dressed and went back to the living room where Harry was waiting for her.
"Did you enjoy the shower?"
Ariana smiled at him. She felt better. The shower and his presence really helped her. "I did, it was really good actually!"
Harry smiled. "That makes me so happy. You know I really missed you."
Ariana felt how she blushed. "I missed you too. I hated the shit that happened last time."
"Yeah, I'm really sorry for all of that. I also wanted to apologise for our kiss. It shouldn't have happened."
Ariana didn't know what to say. Did he not like the kiss and did he regret it? The kiss was something very special to her and she actually didn't regret it. Especially since she wasn't so fond of Malcom anymore.
"I think I'm going to break up with him." Ariana slowly said.
"What?"
"I wanna break up with Malcom." Ariana said and she meant it. She didn't feel the same about him as when they first met. She didn't feel like she was in love. She just felt like his mother and that was not what she wanted.
"Oh." Harry said, as if he still didn't really understand it.
"Yeah."
And then they were both quiet. The silence felt loud and Ariana was happy when Harry stood up and offered her some food. They had a nice diner consisting of pasta with vegetables and a rich sauce wich Harry cooked all by himself.

8 107I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.

In any case, as the world descends into chaos, Edris's carefree life may be just a bit further away than expected.
