Chapter 58: Chapter 57 - Ariella's Story [Part Two]

When I saw her cry, I knew I had to do something. So, I quickly got by her side and wrapped my hand around her small shoulders, trying to comfort her.

"It's okay…I'm here. You can tell me anything."

I rubbed my hand against her shoulder, which seemed to surprise her as she looked up in my direction for the very first time since I had asked that question.

Her eyes were brimming with tears and the color of her cheeks were of a bright red. Her bright blonde hair was flying in the slight breeze, completely revealing her face to me for the very first time since I had met her.

She looked amazing. Well, if we ignored the crying part.

"T-Thank you for everything…I don't know why you're doing this, but thank you," she said with quite a bit of difficulty.

"Ah, don't worry about it. It was the right thing to do."

She cutely nodded a few times as she took a deep breath, preparing herself to say the rest of her story.
