((ALL I EVER WANTED.

[aric jay francis]

Mya Rae was one of those girls that had always been around. Since they'd grown up in the same neighborhood, he was used to her tagging along with her older sister until their parents had gotten divorced. Aric had never thought much of Mya. She was three years younger than he was, and seemed kind of untouchable, considering how much of a hard-ass her father was rumored to be. Not that Aric had even ever thought of her in that way before she'd entered high school. A lot of girls had their eye on the young man, but really, he'd never been all that interested. He had only dated a couple girls here and there throughout his four years of high school, and not one of them was anything really serious. That was, until he reached his senior year. Mya Rae was a freshman that year, but she surely didn't seem like it. She was gorgeous, funny, and had the cutest laugh he'd probably ever heard. Most didn't find it at all weird when he started dating her, considering a lot of people thought the same things about Mya. She was much more mature than most freshman- but hell, that probably wouldn't have stopped Aric from being with her. He fell for the girl quick, and it was obvious to everyone around that they were in love.

The rest of the story is well known to pretty much anyone. After that year, Aric had to leave for college. And stupidly, in order to make himself feel like he was being fair, he broke up with Mya to allow her to do whatever she wanted while he was gone. Of course, Aric didn't want to do this, but that stupid mind of his told him it was the right thing to do. And so he did. Aric left for college that Spring, and only returned on holidays and summers. He spent time with Mya in the durations that he was home, but they never got back into the relationship they'd been in before. The chemistry, however, was still there. Aric fought it though, figuring Mya had moved on- at least it had seemed like it. The two remained good friends, and that was that. Every fall he'd go back to school, and only rarely keep in touch with her. Except this fall. Aric didn't plan on going back to school, and decided to take a year off. With little to no thinking, he invited his girlfriend to come and stay with him. A girlfriend that no one knew he even had. Even Aric had to admit that having Mya see him with another girl scared him a little bit... he still had a hard time registering the fact they were over. Even after three years.

But, Aric had come to find out that only three weeks after he had left, Mya had slept with someone- something he knew she wasn't ready to do and hadn't even thought of doing. And this person, was none other than his supposed best friend, Kyle. Kyle was a known player, and Aric knew his ways better than anyone. The fact was obvious to him. He had taken advantage of Mya when she was upset. She had even admitted to Aric himself that she didn't want to do it. Aric had told Kyle to stay away from Mya, simply because he didn't want him screwing with her anymore. He was protective over what happens to her, and being fucked with by some asshole fit into that mold. So, it came as a bit of a shock, when Aric decided to stop by Mya's house, and walked in on interrupting some conversation she and Kyle were having. He could feel himself become angry at this, glaring at Kyle with obvious distaste and anger. "You just couldn't fucking listen, could you?" He directed at Kyle, rolling his eyes with teeth clenched. Mya obviously looked freaked out, knowing what Aric had threatened to do if Kyle were to even attempt coming around here. Yelling ensued between both Kyle and Aric before Mya intervened, at a point where Kyle and Aric were on the verge of getting physical. As soon as Kyle was out the door, he looked at Mya with a glare, simply shaking his head. "You know he's just fucking using you, don't you?"

Going back three years almost felt like a lifetime ago. Mya was entering into high school for the first time; things seemed to be looking up for the young girl. Before the thought of even going into high school, she had dealt with a brutal divorce with her parents. Causing her to live with her father, while zoe her sister went with their mother. After that she never talked to her sister much, and never spoke to or saw her mother. Growing up with her father had its ups and downs. In the end she was a better person, not that she in anyway thought that zoe or anyone else for that matter wasn’t. Wasn’t until about the middle of freshman year that she had her first boyfriend, and wouldn’t you know it. It was Aric Francis. At first her father hated the thought of his little girl dating and at such a young age. Thinking that Aric was a fruit that wasn’t good enough for Mya. He didn’t put a stop to them, though. Instead, he actually liked the boy after a while, only giving him a hard him to mess with him. As cliché as it sounds the two were in love, hell Mya had no idea what that was. But she sure knew when it was gone.

The summer flew by as if it were just a few days long. Mya was now entering into sophomore year, and well Aric was leaving going to college. He had broken up with her, Mya not knowing his reasons for it. She was obviously upset, and heartbroken by this. Aric had left for school leaving her torn, broken, and alone. However, Mya tried her best to suck it up, and act like everything was fine when it really wasn’t. Maybe it would never be again. Kyle was good friend of both Aric and herself. They had all grown up around one another. Weren’t many people that they didn’t know. While Aric was gone the two were getting closer, and that ended up with Mya sleeping with Kyle. It was stupid, and Mya wasn’t ready for something like that. Hell she was only a sophomore in high school. After that, things were awkward between them. Wasn’t the same, just make things even worse. Mya had only told one person that which was her sister, when they didn’t get into an argument. Now a few years have passed, Mya was going to be in College in a week or so. Aric was back in town with his new girlfriend. She wasn’t jumping up and down about that idea. Then again she couldn’t do anything about that.

Mya had stupidly told Aric about what had happened between her and Kyle over aim. Totally went into over protective mode on her. When that had happened three years ago, sure her and Kyle weren’t close anymore. However she wasn’t going to shut him out of her life for good. That was way she had asked Kyle if he wanted to come over to her house. Her parents would be out for the day, so she’d have it all to herself. Zoe had told her some shit, that Aric didn’t want Kyle seeing Mya anymore. That was total bullshit Mya could decide that on her own. The two of them were sitting there watching tv and just talking. When the door opens and Aric walks in, no one in the town locks their doors. "You just couldn't fucking listen, could you?” Mya had never once seen Kyle like that before. With the way he looked, Aric would probably kill him given the chance and right now. That seemed very likely. Both of them went back and forth, each time growing more powerful as if at any given time one would snap. However she got between them, Kyle was the one that ended up leaving, and once he did, "You know he's just fucking using you, don't you?" Aric was just glaring at her, like she was a little girl. “What are you talking about? We were just sitting here, that has nothing to do with him using me.” Mya took a few steps back from him. “And you have no right to tell people that they can and can’t see me! I’m sure you don’t do that to your girlfriend. So don’t do it to me. I can take care of myself, god.” The whole girlfriend thing brought on another topic. “And shouldn't you be with her anyways?”

Kyle had admitted to Aric that he'd simply taken advantage of Mya. He'd also admitted that he was still trying to get with her, but said there was one thing stopping him; the fact that she still loved Aric. This was something Aric didn't on spot believe, but was too pissed at Kyle to ask about it. Aric told Kyle to stay away from Mya, because he knew what his intentions were. Had he actually cared about Mya and been serious about her, he might not have cared as much. But he was putting on an act, and Aric still had that strong protective instinct over Mya. That was why he'd gotten so fired up at him in Mya's living room. Kyle was playing her, and being the sweetheart that she is, believed that he was actually around to be her friend. Again, he took advantage of her every chance he got. That pissed Aric off beyond belief. When Kyle left the house, the first think Aric did was groan out of frustration. When did things get so complicated? “What are you talking about? We were just sitting here, that has nothing to do with him using me.” Aric just looked at her in disbelief, wondering how someone could be so trusting in a scumbag like Kyle. "My, I hate to break it to you, but yea, that's exactly what he's doing. He told me." Aric has sighed, rubbing his face. "But let me guess, you don't believe me. Right." He looked down into her pretty face, seeing that he'd obviously upset her. Way to go, Aric.

“And you have no right to tell people that they can and can’t see me! I’m sure you don’t do that to your girlfriend. So don’t do it to me. I can take care of myself, god. And shouldn't you be with her anyways?” Aric raised his eyebrows at that one, even rolling his eyes up at the ceiling. Of course Kyle would tell her. To try and make him seem like some jealous biggot, when all he really wanted to do was keep Kyle from hurting Mya. "Oh can you? Can you take care of yourself? Because it didn't seem like it the night he got you to sleep with him. Did you take care of yourself then?" Aric was only trying to be honest, knowing he rarely ever spoke to her in this tone. But she needed to hear it. "And don't drag Harper into this, alright? It's hard enough without you throwing guilt trips at me." Saying her name in Mya's presence was strange, but he ignored it. Mya insinuated that he should be with his girlfriend right now... that set him off even farther. "Is that where you want me to be? Do you really want me to ignore the fact that fuckface Kyle is over here trying to swoon you for the wrong reason, and just go sit around with my girlfriend when I'd rather be here with you?!" He stared at her for a long moment, and then turned away. He'd said way too much, and he knew it. There was no taking it back, though, as he stood near her with nothing but silence between them.

It was safe to say that Mya didn’t know the whole story of what happened between Kyle and Aric. She wasn’t there when the two talked. The girl was the type of person to give anyone the benefit of the doubt even if they had wronged her before. She forgave and for the most part forgot. There were somethings she never would forget but that was just how it was. Aric knew this about her, he knew everything about her. At least he had. "My, I hate to break it to you, but yea, that's exactly what he's doing. He told me." The girl just crossed her arms loosely not taking her eyes off of him. "But let me guess, you don't believe me. Right." Yeah, that was right she didn’t believe him. Sure Kyle had his moments, but she didn’t believe that he could be so curl. Sure in the pasted, he was like that, but he had grown up in three years. Aric wasn’t around for most of the year when he was in college. Only during holidays, and summer. That was it; he wasn’t here to see how Kyle was with her. He had changed and that was what she was sticking to.

Mya listened to whatever else he had to say, "Oh can you? Can you take care of yourself? Because it didn't seem like it the night he got you to sleep with him. Did you take care of yourself then?" With that alone she narrowed her eyes, not really sure how he could bring that up again. “That happened three years ago. I was different then, and maybe it wouldn’t have even happened at all if you hadn’t broken up with me.” Once the words left her mouth she wished she could’ve taken them back. Wanting to apologize, not meaning to say that. It was just all in the moment. "And don't drag Harper into this, alright? It's hard enough without you throwing guilt trips at me." Guilt trips were not what Mya was trying to throw at him. It was just how she felt. "Is that where you want me to be? Do you really want me to ignore the fact that fuckface Kyle is over here trying to swoon you for the wrong reason, and just go sit around with my girlfriend when I'd rather be here with you?!" The girl listened to the words that came from him, and unsure if she heard him correctly. However, she had. Aric would rather be here, with her than his own girlfriend. That was unexpected, and before she knew it Aric had turned away from her. Neither of them uttered a word, it was just silence- dead silence. Letting her arms fall to her sides, she had no clue what to say after that. “Aric… you don’t mean that do you?” Mya was trying to blow it off as if he had just said, because. “Because if you do mean that, you can’t do this to me.” Toying with her emotions, saying that he’d rather be here with her, than the person he should be with.

Aric knew that when she had squinted her eyes at him, he'd struck a nerve. He didn't like pissing her off and using such things against her, but how else was he going to try to get through to her? “That happened three years ago. I was different then, and maybe it wouldn’t have even happened at all if you hadn’t broken up with me.” Aric didn't like how he'd used the fact that he broke up with her as the reason she'd gone and did what she had- like it was somehow his fault. But Mya was wrong about one thing. Sure, she had changed here and there. Everyone had. But ony quality remained the same. The fact that Mya refused to see bad in people. She picked out every negative thing about everyone she knew and replaced it by only paying attention to the good things. In some cases, this was good. In dealing with Kyle, however, it wasn't. "You're right. You've changed. But not enough for you to see Kyle for the asshole he is. And you won't even trust my word when I tell you he is. That's changed." He looked at her with a semi-hurt expression, knitting his eyebrows together. "And yes, I'm aware that I broke up with you. But is it really my fucking fault that you slept with him? Don't put that on me, Mya. That isn't fair."

Taking a deep breathe, he tried to deal with the fact that he'd said more than he needd to. This couldn't be happening. Mya and Aric were supposed to be over. High school romances weren't meant to be rekindled, and after three years, their chemistry was supposed to be gone. They were supposed to be friends. But all the supposeds didn't match up to what was really happening. Aric liked his girlfriend... but Mya meant so much more to him than he could even explain. She always had. And it had taken only two weeks to figure it out. He had apparently shocked her, for she hadn't said anything right away. “Aric… you don’t mean that do you?” He could've chuckled at that. Wasn't saying it proof enough? “Because if you do mean that, you can’t do this to me.” Aric finally looked over at her, looking down at the floor and back to her before he answered. "Yeah. I mean it..." The second part, however, confused him. "The last thing I want to do it hurt you... I'm not trying to..." He looked into her eyes, and sighed, wishing this wasn't as complicated as it was.

The boy really knew how to piss her off, which lead her to say things she would’ve never said to him other wise. Mya knew that it wasn’t Aric’s fault that she had slept with Kyle. She made that decision on her own, she could’ve stopped it or so she thought. That was why she didn’t understand where Aric was coming from with all of this. "You're right. You've changed. But not enough for you to see Kyle for the asshole he is. And you won't even trust my word when I tell you he is. That's changed." Looking at his facial expression she could see he was hurt that she didn’t believe him when it came to Kyle. “Kyle’s not like that. I do believe you; just I think you’re wrong about this. If I had never told you- I’m sure you wouldn’t notice anything different about him.” Mya was regretting that she had told Aric about this. "And yes, I'm aware that I broke up with you. But is it really my fucking fault that you slept with him? Don't put that on me, Mya. That isn't fair." Mya signed looking away from him he was right. “I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to say that, you just really pissed me off with this whole Kyle thing.” Looking back up at him, wondering what he was going to say to her apology.

There were all of these ‘supposed to be’s’ that had yet happened to happen between them. Safe to say, that Mya was hurt by the fact he did have a girlfriend. That was like the line you didn’t pass with someone, and Mya was no whore to even want to break them up. She wouldn’t lie, because if they did she probably would be thrilled. However, that had yet to happen, after what? Three months of dating or so? Mya didn’t see it ending anytime soon. So she’d play the role of the ex, best friend that’s supportive. At least she thought that was the way it was going. Instead Aric blurted out words that were bittersweet. "Yeah. I mean it..." Mya not saying anything just looked up at him, "The last thing I want to do it hurt you... I'm not trying to..." She knew he wasn’t trying too, but he was. “But you are. You tell me this, when you bring home your girlfriend of however long… expecting me not to be hurt. Totally just throwing out the fact that I’m still in love with you.” The tone of her words were a little on the harsh side, because she was getting pissed again. It seemed as though Aric was giving her some hope that they might be together again. When she knew damn well that wouldn’t happen. He shouldn’t have even said anything. Would’ve been easier to just pretend.

She's finally calmed down a bit, not speaking as frantically and defensively as she had been before. “Kyle’s not like that. I do believe you; just I think you’re wrong about this. If I had never told you- I’m sure you wouldn’t notice anything different about him.” It still majorly pissed him off that she would defend an asshole like Kyle, but it seemed there was no changing her mind. She sighed and looked away from him after he used even more too harsh of words for her. “I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to say that, you just really pissed me off with this whole Kyle thing.” So now her defending Kyle was because she had pissed her off. For telling the truth. Aric just sighed, not even wanting to argue about it anymore. Mya wasn't going to believe him. Aric intended to make sure, however, that Kyle wasn't going to pull any dumb shit. He knew he planned to, and if Mya wasn't going to do anything about it, he certainly would. Not that she need to know.

Getting a girlfriend wasn't something Aric had planned on, or even foresaw while he was away. He had kind of returned to his way of not really paying attention if girls noticed him or liked him, just like he had all throughout high school. Harper was different, though. She didn't care that he was oblivious to her flirting with him, or the fact that he didn't at all seem interested in her. She intrigued him, and figuring it was probably time to try something new, he asked her out on a date. And things blossomed from their. Aric hadn't anticipated coming back to Belmont for a whole year with her, or realizing he still had feelings for ex girlfriend from three years ago. “But you are. You tell me this, when you bring home your girlfriend of however long… expecting me not to be hurt. Totally just throwing out the fact that I’m still in love with you.” He slightly frowned, looking at her with a sorry expression on his face. Love him? God how he had fucked this one up. Without even thinking, he moved closer to her, gently sliding her hands into his, as he looked directly down into her brown eyes. "I didn't think you would. After three years, I figured you'd be the one who could move on. You haven't hinted even a little bit that you still did... I- I didn't know." He felt her arms slightly relax, seeing that they had been tense when he'd first grabbed her hands. She had seemed sort've pissed when she'd said her words, which was why Aric tried to keep his voice calm. He didn't want to fight with her anymore. "I love you. Never stopped." And without even giving it a second thought, he leaned down to kiss her.

Yes, the brown eyed girl had she said was still in love with Aric. Finally admitting that to him after so many years of just acting like it wasn’t there. It’d go away, in time. As that time went on things never changed. The feelings she still had for him since freshman year, were as strong as ever. It killed her knowing he had found another, someone he could love all over again. It was as if there was some unknown reason why they couldn’t be together, even through all of those years. Now there was a reason, his girlfriend was what stood in the way, or so Mya thought. It was breaking her heart. The frown acrossed his lips and the sadden expression that was written all over his face. Aric moved smoothly closer to her, slipping his hand into hers, as he looked down upon her. "I didn't think you would. After three years, I figured you'd be the one who could move on. You haven't hinted even a little bit that you still did... I- I didn't know." The girl’s whole body had tensed up; surprised he had made a move like that. Where one might take it the wrong way. “I didn’t know that I needed to put out signs for you.” Mya said softly, relaxing now. “You never get them anyways.” The girl said with a small smile showing through. It was obvious now that the fighting was over between them. There was no way that she could be mad at him for long. "I love you. Never stopped." Were the words that came from him, yes him. Before she could even begin to register that alone, he leaned down placing a kiss on her lips.

From there things got heated, clothes came off falling everywhere on the floor, it was as if it were a dream. Someone seriously needed to wake her up from this. It was a few hours later, Mya laying in the arms of Aric neither of them could go to sleep even if they wanted too. There were so many thoughts and questions running through the mind of the small girl. Mya wanted to ask him, but figured he wouldn’t know either. Laying on her side she tilted her head up looking at him, as he seemed to be in his own world also. “What does this mean, Aric?” They both loved each other still, that was blatantly obvious. “This wasn’t a mistake, was it?” If he was going to run back to his girlfriend, then it would be. It would be something that never should’ve happened, and as selfish as it was- she didn’t want him to leave, and go back to the women.
