regina had never heard aaron talk like that before , as if his voice was cracked glass and misplaced conviction . and honestly , she wasn't sure whether to laugh or roll her eyes . normally , regina george wouldn't entertain it , drama only worked when SHE was the one directing it . but the pathetic sincerity in his tone almost made her feel bad . ALMOST . because , sure , she was wrecking things yet again , burning bridges , breaking his heart , playing her favorite game of push and pull until even she forgot the rules . it wasn't fair , but regina george has never been FAMOUS for playing fair . she tilted her head , lips curving into a smile that was a half apology , half poison . " oh , aaron , sweetie . . . " she purred , her voice dripping with honey so thick it could drown him . " you don't have to let your heart break , you'll keep trying , it's what you do . that's what makes you so special . " each word fell soft and lethal , the way perfume lingers after the door closes . she was hiding of course , behind the charm , behind control , behind him , anything to hide where her hearts wants truly lay . using aaron like this wasn't kind , but kindness was never her armor . she leaned closer , eyes glinting with something that looked like AFFECTION but felt like survival . " that's what makes you perfect for me . "
