Aria grinned softly when Sage sat down next to her. It wasn't long before her smile fell. She just sat in deep thought, and glanced over at Sage.

Sage sort of just wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder. Caroline came over and crawled in his lap. He was glad to sit sit with his family for a while

Aria kind of just wanted personal space. She hated bad thoughts, and this one made her sick to her stomach. The girl loved her family though, and just leaned against Sage in a comforting way for her.

Sage was glad when Aria snuggled up. He could tell she was thinking and not liking her thoughts, so he hoped he and the family helped.

Aria knew Sage was there for her. He always had been. Even when he wasn't physically there with her. Small streams of tears lined her face. Her green eyes were glazed over. It hurt. Bad thoughts, memories... it was all mentally painful.

Sage was rather surprised when she started crying, and stared at her for a moment before reaching over and wiping her tears off her cheeks. "What's wrong," he asked softly.

Aria looked deep into Sage's eyes. She knew it was dumb, but she needed to know she wasn't just out of her mind. "Do... do you think i'm ugly?" She asked quietly.

Sage blinked in surprise at her comment. "What," he finally asked dumbly. Then he shook his head. "Of course not," he told her. "What would make you think that," he asked.

Aria shrugged. "I don't know. Bad thoughts I guess." She said quietly. "I just wonder how I got someone so perfect and handsome, for someone so... normal like me." Aria said. She had no idea why Sage had picked her, out of every other girl he could've had.

Sage hummed lightly and nodded. "Well, I think you're the most beautiful girl out there," he hummed lightly. "I wonder the same thing ..I think it's normal for people to not think they're better than the other person," he admitted.
