NYLAH
Arianna's sober expression made me tear up. The moment she opened the door after knocking on it a couple of times, I couldn't stop myself from tearing up.
Without any words, she embraced me in a warm hug. Holding me in her embrace for minutes, she didn't say anything, neither of us did. We just stood there, holding each other so closely, letting the tears flow uncontrollably.
"Why didn't you tell me all the while we were in the hospital together?" she asked when I finished narrating everything to her.
From how I got to dance for Alpha Xavier to my decision to sleep with him, giving him my virginity in the process and then stealing the expensive wristwatch I sold to clear her bills. Up to my current status as his dancer and whore.
She hugged me again when I could reply with a shrug and this time around, it was a hug of pity, regret and guilt.
