Bad Girl Life

Chapter 16

*Klaus POV*

When I walked in all I could see was a person hurting, especially the person I love. It hurts the most to see someone very close to you be this hurt. When I saw, I felt anger. I felt angry because she couldn’t tell me but I also felt sorry. She shouldn’t have to go through this.

“Aria can you please stop drinking?”, I asked while making my way over. She took another sip of the bourbon. “Aria please, you know alcohol slowly kills?. Stop Please.”, I begged. She took another sip. “Aria Please! You know what!”, I raised my voice and snatched the bottle from her and took a huge gulp. It stung like hell but at least it got her attention. 

“WHAT THE HELL!”, she yelled. “So now that I got your attention, everytime you drink, I drink. Now we got that down. Can you please tell me what’s wrong? Why this sudden impulse? Why waste your life like this?” I stopped with the questions. “You don’t know what it’s like. You don’t understand what i’m going through.”, she tiredly leaned back. “Tell me, I’ll listen”, I sat between her legs. “My mom isn’t the greatest, my father left us, i was r***d and sexually assaulted, emotionally stressed, and tired. I can’t take this anymore Klaus, I just can’t. I can’t do this anymore, I can never do anything right.”, she just sat there like she was empty. “I will always be here for you, that I promise. Trust me I’m trying to stay as calm as I can be because you were ra- r***d and sexually assaulted. I would seriously kill who did that to you. To me, you are still pure. The most beautiful person that ever came into my life. If you're tired we can sleep. If you’re not that tired we can do something, if not we can sit here until you feel better.”, I said cupping her cheeks. We sat there in silence. “Thank You Klaus, but I can’t. I’m a f*****g burden to my mother, i’m f*****g worthless to her at this point. My father… he walked out on Nick and I. Nick doesn’t have a f*****g father because of me. I don’t even have a mother because of me. Everything is my fault. I can’t live a normal life because of this.”, she expressed deep vexation. 

“No, Aria, listen to me. You’re none of those things. You are everything to me. I don’t know what I can do to help you have a mother or Nick have a father. I feel helpless. But what I can do is be there for Nick, as a father/brotherly figure. For you I can be the best boyfriend I can be.”, I was going to say more but she cuts me off. 

“I can’t if I wasn’t here. I wouldn’t have to deal with this pain. I don’t have to deal with being a burden, hopeless, and worthless. I don’t deserve you, I make things so complicated.”, she said while wiping her face of the tears.

“Aria, I’m the one who doesn’t deserve you. You’re incredibly strong, extremely beautiful, and any other word that describes you in the most positive way. I can try as much as I can to make you feel less of a burden. We can ditch the dinner tomorrow with my parents and focus on you. Look love, you're amazing, incredible, magnificent in fact.”, I said with a smile spreading with a little chuckle at the end. 

“No, we have to meet your parents. Also, thank you Klaus. I would say ‘you’re the best thing that happened to me’ but that would be not true and the most cliche thing ever”, she chuckled. I knew she was becoming her again. “Take that back”, I grinned. “Umm.. no thank you”, she ran to her room while bumping into her things. Yeah, she’s drunk alright. “Come on”, she yelled. “Coming, love”, I hurried my ass up there before she yelled again. 

“Come here”, she grabbed my shirt and kissed me. I locked the door and kissed her to her bed. “Do you have a condom?”, she asked while kissing my neck. “Love, we can’t. Not right now. You're intoxicated.”, I said. “Come on, it’s fine.”, she said while breaking off the kiss. “No, I can’t. You’re intoxicated and I drank a bit. I can’t do that to you. I rather wait and where we both agree and we both can remember.”, I said sitting up. “You’re right. I’m sorry”, she said. “Love, it’s okay. I mean I would love to but I’m not an asshole”, I smirked. “Ugh shut up. Are you always this conceited?”, she slapped my chest pleasingly. “Have you seen this body, made of pure muscle”, I said. “Too bad. I don’t really like all muscle men. It’s not for me.”, she turned to me. “What do you mean?”, I asked. “Like Dwayne Johnson, Connor McGregor, and those really big muscle guys. No offense but they are beautiful in their own way.”, she wrinkled her nose. That's too adorable. “Noted”, I smiled. “Yeah, you’re perfect the way you are'', she smiled snuggling into me. “Your too cute”, I carelessly stroke her cheek. “You’re too handsome”, she giggled. “More than Kai?”, I asked. “I may be drunk but not by chance. Have you seen him”, she passionately said. “I’m hurt”, I pretended to do the pout face. “OKayyy fine, maybe if you wore a beanie. You and Kai can be equal.”, she used hand gestures. “God you’re too cute. Don’t worry I was thinking of wearing a beanie too.”, I put my arm over her. “You’d be too adorable with a beanie”, she said. “Don’t worry, Kai is just fiction, you’re real. That’s what matters to me.”, she said sleepily. “I just want you to know I’m here for you, I always will.”, I said softly. Next thing I knew, she passed out. 

I pulled out my phone

Mum: Klaus, Your father and I decided to have dinner at the Main Home. Please dress the same as usual to dinners. Also, we need to talk about the incident with Uncle Cal. I would also like to meet your girlfriend. I hope she isn’t like the others. Love Mum. 

Klaus: She isn’t mum. You’ll see, trust me Uncle Cal is bonkers. Love your dashing son, Klaus. 

Mum: God. You’re just like your father. 

Klaus: You know it. 

Mother is really funny to mess with. In fact, she was just like Aria and I’m basically like my father. Bad girl meets Bad boy, falls in love, and lasts forever. But they meet in middle school and have bumps in the road but they look madly in love. Crazy how that sounds, but it's true. 

I’ve been thinking about choices lately, like future wise. Do I want a wife? Kids? Dog? Cats? House? In fact, I think I do want a wife having our kids, with a big house, with cats, and an awesome job. Although I'm just a sophomore in high school, I have many other people in my life, but right now I want Aria to be my wife. I mean look at my parents, they are middle school sweethearts. Why can’t Aria and I be high school sweethearts. Most people say it doesn’t last. I want to be with her. I have to admit. I have had a crush on her since we came to the states. Freshman year, when I saw her, I wanted to be with her. Her smile, Her eyes. The way her hair flowed. She affects me so much. 

*The next morning*

I woke up quite early. I turned my head and saw Aria sleeping, I smiled. I made my way toward the kitchen for some water and aspirin. As I got the med and the water, I bumped into Nick.

“Hey Nick, oh I forgot Axel will have to train you for a bit. I’m going to help your sister for a bit. That’s the number I sent you that day at my house.”, I finished saying. “Yeah, sounds good. Yeah focus on Aria, I got this.”, he said. 

I walked off toward Aria’s room. I set the aspirin and water  on her nightstand. I took out my phone. 

Klaus: Hey Axel, can you drop off a white button-down shirt and black jeans that’s in my closet to Aria’s house. Also, can you bring my cologne that’s on my dresser, the one to the far left and maybe borrow one of your black beanies? My parents are back. 

Axel: Yeah, I got you man. Tell them I said ‘Hi’, of course. Is Aria meeting them?

Klaus: Thanks, man Yeah, they wanted to meet her. I have to talk to y'all when I get back though. I think they would like Aria. 

Axel: Yeah, anytime bro. Yeah Conner and I are down to chat. Yeah, I think your mum is going to love Aria. I think they're quite similar with the jokes. 

Klaus: Yeah, how’s Mia?

Axel: She’s good. Her birthday is in a few days actually. I was thinking a surprise would be great. 

Klaus: Yeah, definitely. We’ll talk more later. I got to get ready mate. 

Axel: Later

I put my phone back on the ground and slept a bit more. 

*Aria’s POV*

I woke up with a pounding headache. Well I guess maybe I shouldn’t have drunk so much alcohol. That’s probably what my dumbass gets. I felt an arm around me. I looked and saw Klaus, I really wondered what happened this time. I looked at my table stand and saw some aspirin and water. I definitely took that, I downed the water. Got to admit I was really dehydrated. I laid back down and focused on what’s going on today. I don’t really know what’s going for today. Huh……… AHh s**t I’m meeting his parents. Well I’m going to do the act like I don’t care. But I actually do care. I just hope his parents like me. That’s all I can wish for today. 

“Good-morning, love”, he said. “Morning, thanks for the water and meds”, I said. “No kiss”, he pouted. I rolled my eyes and gave him a kiss. “Much better”, he smiled brightly. “My head hurts, want to clue me in on what happened last night?”, I faintly said. “Well, it’s quite a story. You drank a lot of bourbon, you felt like a burden, worthless, details about your mother and father, and how u don’t want to be here”, he said as it was an actual story. “But me being the awesome person I am, loves the way you are and believes you should be here and is incredibly strong and beautiful”, he added. “Such an ass but thank you for saving me again”, I leaned in for a kiss while he connected his with mine. 

I got to take a shower and hydrated my body. After I took a shower, Klaus went next. I’m starting to feel embarrassed of talking to him about my problems. We’ve been together for a couple weeks, I have told some of my life story. Like major parts. I do trust him but I think………I don’t know. I really don’t know. Okay, I need to calm down. Deep breaths, deep breaths. 

I sat down on my chair and started writing in my journal on my desk. 

‘Crazy how life throws things. Drinking pain away but instead you wake up with pain, a headache. Consuming so much reveals the truth, your past. If I have so many things to focus on. Why do I go for something else? Caring for someone who will eventually hurt you. The pain is what comes. Do I crave pain? Do I like the pain? Most questions I ask myself, Do I make myself suffer for the problems I have that I can’t fix, problems that are my fault, things that happen to me? My mind just asks and asks. Not knowing which one it is. Maybe all, Maybe some, or Maybe none. Do I wish it to stop? To be honest, I don’t know. I can’t answer that right now. What I can do is try and answer these questions. Yet, I’m not ready to know the truth.’

I closed it and put it in the drawer. 

“Oh love, I forgot to tell you”, he came to me smelling like those rich wood smells. Yeah something like that, which smells amazing. “That is'', I smiled looking up to him. “Uhmm you also wanted to have s*x with me”, he scratched the back of his head. Yeah that’s funny, right… “Funny”, I let out a little chuckle. “Actually I’m serious, but I didn’t want to because you were intoxicated. You know that would be wrong. There was no consent, even though you gave it but you were drunk and that’s not consent. So ummm I said no and I hope this doesn’t make it awkward”, he finished talking rapidly. “No you’re fine, god you’re so cute when you ramble”, he smiled as I said that. “I just can’t believe I wanted or said that, don’t get me wrong. I was planning on waiting but like later maybe Jr. or Senior year. I uh…..”, I stopped when I noticed I was rambling. He just let out a chuckle while holding my hand.

“Geez you're adorable when you ramble.”, he smiled. “I guess we both ramble when we get nervous”, I laughed. “Yeah, I guess we do”, he leaned into the kiss after. I closed the gap and kissed him.

Klaus and I started to watch the 3rd movie of Harry Potter. We waited till we had to go to his parents house. 

“I’ll be right back, Axel is bringing my clothes”, Klaus got up and went. I looked at the time and started to get ready. 

Once I got done, I went down to the kitchen to take another pill and drink some water. “Alright, I’m done. You done love?”, Klaus said while coming down. “Yeah in the kitchen.”, I raised my voice so he can hear me. “Woah you look good”, I smiled. “Yeah, you look beautiful”, he said welcoming a hug. “And you’re wearing a beanie, Kai might be up for a challenge”, I chuckled. “Kai may attract you, but he can’t do things to you that I can”, he winked at me. “Ohkay, what things babe?”, I raised my eyebrow. “You know the hugging, kissing…”, he paused as he came closer, sliding his hand up my neck. “the touching”, he added as he came close to my ear. He made sure I heard alright. I honestly wanted to take him right here. “Want to know anything else?”, he asked still in the same position. I swallowed hard. I leaned up leaning into a kiss slowly, as I broke away and whispered into his ear. “Nice try”, I broke into a smile and walked toward the door. 

Klaus followed behind. “I’m all yours, just waiting on you”, he whispered as he came to me. He never fails to turn me on at the worst times. “Let’s go”, I said, locking the door and heading into his car.

“Whoahhh, this is your parents house?”, I mentioned as my eyes went big. “Yeah, my parents are rich so they buy these kinds of houses”, he pulled up to park. Once we got out, we made our way to the door.

“Finally you’re here Klaus, you cleaned up well”, assuming his mother said. “Yes Mum, this is Aria. She’s my girlfriend”, he said. “Hello, dear. You look beautiful, I can see why my son is bluing a bit”, she laughed a little. “Nice to meet you”, a guy behind her said. “Thank You, Nice to meet you as well”, I said. “Hello father, what’s for dinner”, Klaus seemed intrigued. “Go check, you wanker”, his father chuckled. “Love you too, father”, Klaus said as he held my hand walking to the dining room. “Bloody hell Oliver, really in front of Aria'', she expressed in annoyance. “Sorry Bailey'', Klaus dad kissed his mom on the forehead. “Nice going father”, Klaus laughed loudly. I started to laugh because Klaus laughed. “Sorry Aria, my husband doesn’t know when to be polite”, she chuckled. “It’s alright, ma’am. I’m used to it”, I smiled. “Please call me Bailey, ma’am is too formal”, she chuckled. “Yeah call me Oliver too.”, Klaus dad joined in. “Sounds good” I smiled and sat as Klaus pulled out a chair for me. “You’re welcome love”, Klaus said after I nod as a ‘Thank You’. The food in front of me smelled really good. I ate little by little just to be polite.

“Klaus, Uncle Cal said you were in a group fight”, his mother started the conversation. “Son, did you win?”, his father said after. “The hell, Oliver'', his mother sighed. “Sorry”, his father chuckled. “Yeah father, I did win. They were bullying Aria’s little brother and his girlfriend. It was Emma and this other guy. Now that guy was a bloody wanker”, Klaus finished as he served himself more food. “Nice to see my son standing up for others'', his mother smiled. I didn’t know how to feel as he said that. Many things ran through my head. As I now thought, I was the cause of him being involved. “Oh and mum, you should have seen Aria, she fought Emma and her friends. Conner got this one guy, so did Axel and Ezra.” he said after he got done chewing. “Aria, you fight”, his father said. “Something like that, I just fought Emma and Ava”, I said. “At the same time?”, his mother asked. “Yes, my friends helped my little brother and his girlfriend. I had to handle them myself.”, I finished saying while his mother looked shocked. Klaus' father just chuckled. “That’s crazy, history repeating itself.”, his father smiled. “Sorry?”, I asked. “Oh it’s just that my mum and father have a history that’s quite similar to us right now”, Klaus told me. “Yeah, I had tons of fights when I was your age, Aria. I was the bad girl in high school and Oliver was the bad boy. Him and I never got along till Sophomore year. In grade-school and Freshman year in the states we never got along, we always bickered.”, she said. “Yeah, we had hell of bumps. She broke up with me a lot in high school”, his father chuckled. I looked at Bailey and she rolled her eyes. “Why?”, Klaus asked. “You’re father was an ass”, his mother sighed. “I was the school bad boy and I had to keep my reputation, it also didn’t help that the girls couldn’t resist me”, his father says. “Hopefully, Klaus won’t take after his father”, his mother smiled. “Don’t worry mother, I’ll try my best”, Klaus smiled. 

After we finished dinner, Klaus and his father went their way while I stayed with Bailey and chatted. “Aria, may I ask something? I don’t want to intrude.”, Bailey asked. “Yeah, what is it?”, I replied, taking a seat. “The fight that happened. Cal told me that Klaus preferred that he calls me on your behalf. I asked Klaus he clued me in a little, as of family issue. I just wanted to ask if you’re okay at home?”, she says being sincere. “Yeah, I’m fine at home, it’s just that my mother doesn’t want me to fight”, I said looking to the side. I didn’t want to lie, but I couldn’t take any chances of having CPS being called. I can’t lose my brother either. “I just wanted to let you know, I’m fine with the calls. I admire what you do, you stand up for others. I would also like to thank you, Klaus has been different ever since you came into his life.”, she says fiddling with her bracelet. “You know before he met you, we were living in England. He was with the wrong crowd back there. He drank and smoked, I didn’t know what to do. I tried my best but I didn’t understand. That time is when I was away for business. His father was away as-well. He wasn’t in a great state until he met Connor and Axel. I’m thankful for them as well.”, she added. “I didn’t know that”, I said. “It’s okay Aria, He’s better now”, she smiled. “I’m thankful to have your son as my boyfriend. He’s quite great, he certainly improved after some incidents that happened.”, I smiled cutting it short. 

We left after Klaus came back with his father. “Did everything go well, love?”, he asked. “Yeah, your mom is nice and understanding”, I said fixing my posture. “I’m glad you too got along”, he says after kissing my hand.
