"Why did you call me here?" I heard Arnav's voice, as he sat down beside me as we both looked at the beautiful view of mountains in front of us.

"Are you frustrated? You here to let out a scream like last time?" He smirked at me, I just looked at him and giggled, I dint feel angry about his stupid remarks anymore.

"I just like this place, it's silent and when you say something and it echoes back you feel like someone's talking to you." I said as I continued look at the view.

The echo point was such a beautiful place I wondered why no one came here but I was glad that no one came because I liked coming here a lot and I liked being alone when I was here.

"Arnav, for the couple months we've known each other, what is it that you know about me?" I asked.

"Umm let me think, that you are very rude, arrogant, you like fighting everyone, you like color black more than you like people and you really hate boys for God knows reason and you hate me too but I make you feel things and you're confused why I make you feel things when all we do is hate each other." He said it all in one breath and looked at me with a smirk.

"Thanks for the compliment." I rolled my eyes at him.

"So let me ask again, why did you call me here?" He asked.

"Because I have something important to tell you. You mentioned everything about me but forgot to mention that I always say things, I don't hide stuff, even if it's going to hurt you I'll say it on your face." I said.

"So what do you want to say on my face?" He smirked again.

"Arnav! I am trying to be serious here." He was really irritating.

"When aren't you serious? That's the problem Khushi, you're always serious." He said.

I sighed, I don't know what I was going to do about this guy, every time we talked he managed to make me feel so angry.

"Okay, I'm all ears, tell me whatever you want to." He said, I looked at him and he was staring at me so intensely that I had to look away.

"You were right. I feel a lot of things for you, you make me feel things I've never felt before and trust me, every day of my life I question myself about how it's possible to feel this way about you when you're just a jerk, don't try to argue that, you are a jerk."

"I know." He said.

"But together with making me feel some of the greatest things, you also make me feel some of the most terrible things Arnav." I said as the blurry images suddenly appeared in my mind, I don't know if I was ever going to get out of it.

He looked at me in surprise but he dint say anything, I guess he was waiting for me to explain so I continued speaking my heart out.

"I feel so deeply for you Arnav and I don't know what name to give to this feeling, it's definitely not like because I don't think I like you more than I dislike you. But I cannot deny that I feel something for you, and it's definitely not lust.

I just feel some strange connection towards you, you do make me so angry but at the same time you make me feel things like this.

It's stupid isn't it? like for example right now you're here seated beside me and all I can think of how my heart is beating, how I just want to lean my head on your shoulder and watch this view and talk about life and everything." I dint even know if was I was saying was making sense, but I just wanted to let it all out, I was done holding it up.

He moved closer to me when I said that and tapped on the side of his shoulder allowing me to lean on it, I closed my eyes, inhaled a deep breath and leaned against his shoulder and it felt so peaceful, I had never felt this kind of peace before.

"I don't know what to do about this feelings anymore Arnav, because no matter how much I try to run away from them I can't so I figured I'd just tell you about it and maybe I'll feel at peace."

"So the bad girl fell in love with the bad boy." He smirked.

"I am not in love with you, you idiot!" I slapped on his arm and gave me an angry look.

"Definitely not falling in love with a guy who would want to embarrass me this way." I said as I pointed at the mark he had left on my neck, to which he smirked again. That idiot!

"Oh, I was just marking my territory, admit it you liked it." He smirked.

Seriously, what was I ever going to do about this guy? I dint even know what was supposed to happen after this, I did tell him what I felt for him but he dint say anything about his own feelings.

What was this supposed to mean, did he like me? Did he not? Before I could ask him about it, his phone rang interrupting our conversation.

It was a call from an unknown number, he received it and pressed the phone close to his ears.

"If you haven't found his whereabouts I don't even want to listen to you." He said, there was a silence before he just nodded as if the person on the other side of the call could see him, he then disconnected the call and looked at me.

"I have a lot of things to say but I'll have to leave it to another time, something urgent has come up, I really need to go." He said, I just nodded as he stood up and rushed away immediately, I dint know what it was about but he looked really angry even though he talked to me calmly.

*****

I walked out of the bathroom after changing into my night dress and settled down on my bed as the moment I had spent with Arnav today at the echo point flashed back in my mind.

Maybe Stefan was right, maybe Arnav was a rude jerk but so was I, beside that he wasn't a bad guy and maybe that was the reason I was attracted to him, because the both of us were so similar to each other.

My thoughts about earlier today were disturbed by some noise I heard at the window of my room and I went in defensive mode immediately knowing it must be a thief. I walked a bit closer to the window ready to attack the thief as soon as he stepped in.

I heard the window opening and then someone jumped him, without even thinking for a moment, I jumped on him and started punching him like crazy until I saw his face and stopped suddenly.

"What the hell! Why are you always so violent?" Arnav asked recovering from the punches I gave him, I looked at him as I burst into laughter, this entire scenario was so funny.

"If you were going to walk into my room through the window and expect me to happily welcome you then you're wrong, be glad you're still alive." I said as I continued laughing.

"Well I dint know I would be welcomed like this otherwise I would have walked through the front door and let your parents know I was in your room and let them think something was happening here." He rolled his eyes as he walked towards my bed and sat down.

"Why are you here anyway?" I asked as I walked towards him and sat beside him.

"To sleep, I liked it when you were sleeping with me, it was good." He smirked at his double meaning joke which I dint find funny at all.

"You aren't sleeping in my room Arnav." I said, I was being serious.

"I wasn't asking for permission, if you can sleep on my bed so can I. I promise I won't do anything, I'll just sleep." He said as he lied down and pulled the blanket over himself, seriously?

"Get off my bed, I said you aren't sleeping here, go home Arnav!" I said as I pushed him out of bed but that guy was so damn adamant.

"When I confessed my feelings to you, I dint mean that you were allowed to come sleep on my bed, I still dislike you very much." I said.

"Arnav, for the last time, get out of my bed and go home before I kick you out myself, you know very well that I'm capable of doing that!" I said in a really serious voice wishing he would get it.

At this moment I dint even know what I felt about him wanting to sleep in my room, it was one of the things couples usually did and although he had already started acting like my boyfriend, he had to let me know about his feelings like I told him about mine.

We still had a long way to go and I wasn't even sure it would work, I dint even think he would understand what happened to me in my childhood and I don't think I trusted him enough to tell him about it yet, not that I wasn't ever going to tell him, but I just wanted to give this a chance, like Bonnie had said, I had to stop running away.

So that's what I was trying to do, I wanted to stop running away from him, but I also wanted to trust him enough to tell him about the biggest truth of my life, I just wanted to give this a try but not with him sneaking into my room like this, he would have to understand that things were going to be really difficult with me, he would find himself holding my hand and I'll flinch being scared of it not because I was scared of him but because I was scared of my childhood.

It was just too much and I really hoped I could tell him about it but we still had a long way to reach there and last time I only agreed to stay at is place because he was drunk but it wasn't going to happen again, not until we both trusted each other enough.

"You see, reasons why we never get along." He made faces at me as he jumped out of the bed and headed towards the window.

"Goodnight Arnav." I rolled my eyes at him, he turned around and jumped out of the window as I rushed towards it to make sure he was okay, once he was down, he waved a goodbye at me and walked away as I shut the window and headed to sleep.
