Aaron never contacted me, and I didn't do the same, but what was there to even talk about?

I couldn't deny that I was a bit sad, I was hoping to get a message, but it never came, and I knew it was all for the best.

I didn't let my mind get consumed with thoughts of Aaron. Instead, I indulged myself in school and my internship.

These were the best to happen to me, and I want to change the way people see food.

So I couldn't allow myself to fall down a path where all I thought about was Aaron.

So what if I never heard from Aaron again? I deserved to be happy, and I couldn’t live with knowing that I am someone's second choice.

I was doing well, only occasionally thinking about Aaron, mostly at nights just before going to bed.

I imagined that he might have been married to Joile by now. She might even be pregnant, and they are happy to start their family together.

A knock came on my door, I looked at the clock by my bedside and saw that it was only 10 pm.

"Comin," I said after the knock ca

    After what happened in my bedroom with Aistin, I saw him only once around campus, and he didn't even look at me. I never laid eyes on him again, and it left me to wonder if he would see me around and go the other way.Maybe I should take his advice and sort shit out with Aaron, but how can I? He was happy with Jolie, and she loved him."Hey, I ran into your guy," Ellie said, coming into the living room"My guy?" I asked, confused."Austin.""Oh, no. He isn't my guy.""No wonder he didn't even look at me when I tried to talk to him. Was he a one a done type of guy?"At first, I didn't respond, I buried my face into my pillow and screamed."I guess that night didn't go well."I talked into the pillow."What? Your voice is muffled.""I accidentally called him Aaron. Twice."Ellie burst out laughing, and I looked up at her."I guess we had the same type of night.""What are you talking about?" I asked, and she came to sit beside me."I went back to hmm, Cory's apartment, and I accidental

    I woke up with a throbbing pain behind my eyes, and the night before came rushing back and I became sad all over again.I was just that to was Sunday, else I didn't know how I would make it through class or work.I lay in bed for a while, thinking that I mayb just change my name and move to a different country all together. This was just too much to take, first I was plagued with the thoughts of Aaron and now this.I heard a laugh and I jumped out of bed, when I opened the door, my stomach grumbled to the smell of bacon frying."Ellie, are you cooking?" I asked, entering the small kitchen then froze.I never expected to see Aaron here, much less around the stove with an apron tied around his waist and flipping pancakes."What's going on here?" I asked.Aaron turned to look at me."Good morning sleepy head.""What are you doing here?""Making food for you and Ellie.""No, I mean what are you doing in California?""I came to make sure you are alright, I know that this can't be easy on

    "I never wanted to start things with Jolie, I knew she would want something serious. And I was being selfish for using her to get over you."A fit of giggle bubbled up inside of me, I didn't understand why, but I let it out."I knew I shouldn't have said anything.""No, no. Aaron. I'm not laughing at you, just the situation. I find it funny that we both were trying to get over each other, but it's just not working out.""Yeah, after a while, Jolie did make me happy and almost forget about you, but it was short-lived.""Maybe we were meant to be with each other."Aaron cupped my face. "Maybe we can try while I'm here.""Aaron, your plan is flawed. Jolie is here, I have school and work. I can't juggle all of those at one time.""We'll find a way.""You say that as if it's ok to cheat.""I was planning to break up with her."I stepped back. "Don't you think you ate being biased or maybe being a hypocrite is the better term?""Why would you say that?""You accused my mom of stealing your

    Ellie and I danced with each other to the changing blue, red, and yellow lights.She grabbed a hold of my waist and danced her way down before coming up.I guessed that got the attention of a few men because two made their way over and began to dance with us.But the one behind me was being too touchy, grabbing my breath, and I couldn't help but turn around and slap him across the face."You bitch," he said and gave me a push.I pushed him back and Ellie stepped in, kneeing him in the balls."Get the fuck away from us you pervert," she said.Ellie pulled me away to across the dance floor."I can't believe that guy, he was so bold.""Hey guys," Allison, a girl from my class came up to us.We hugged each other and she gave an awkward wave to Ellie, the two never really got along because they both liked the same guy."I had no idea you would have come, I sent you a message but you never responded."I felt so bad for ignoring her and many others, they all were looking out for me and all I

    With his eyes on me, he pulled a condom out his pocket and wrapped it with his mouth.I couldn't help my moan at how sexy it seemed.Aaron lifted me up again, and I wrapped his legs around his waist."Take a deep breath," he said, and I did."Oh my God," I cried out when he penetrated me, prompting him to cover my cries with a kiss."Mia, we can't be too loud.""I know, but your cock. It feels different.""I'm grown now and you clearly haven't fucked anyone in a while."He could feel that?Aaron began to go harder with each stroke, and we both groaned loudly.He was doing it rough, but I liked the feeling. I missed having him inside me and I could tell he missed fucking me as well.The both of us were being loud now and I'm sure someone was bound to hear us.As if on cue, I heard keys jingling and Ellie's voice."Hello, is someone down there?"She used the flashlight of her phone and shined it to where we were."Oh, sorry," she said, but for some reason was still had the light on us.

    "When are you going back to New York?" I asked."I'm not.""But your work."Aaron gave me a little smirk."Truthfully, when I came out here the first time, your mom had it all planned out. A place to stay, she contacted a friend and got me a job. I spoke to her before coming here, and the offer still stands.""Oh."So everyone knew that he would just drop everything and come be with me, except for me."Yes.""So what job is it?"Aaron gave a bigger small."You know how much I love painting?"I nodded."Well, she knows a of people who are interested in my work.""Wait, mom knows that you can paint?""Yes, the painting I gave to you. She found it abandoned in your room, and right from I left to go back to my mom, she asked me about it.""You had all this planned out?""I did. That's how serious I am about you, Mia. I want to be with you and only you."I put my fork down to shuffle closer to him, and then, I was sitting on his lap."And tell you what, I also know someone who is intereste

    "Mom is asking if we could spend Christmas we her," I said, walking out to the balcony where Aaron was sipping coffee and looking out at the ocean."Sure, that would be nice."I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his back.This might just be the happiest I have ever been.After graduating from university, Aaron and I moved into a place close to the sea, which blessed us with beautiful sunsets and sunrises.And occasionally, whales.I could see that he was happy as well. He did a lot more smiling and opened up more to me about things that bothered him.I didn't want to say that he was following in Johnathan’s footsteps, but he was thinking of starting his own art gallery, and I would support him all the way."How is your mom doing?" I asked."Still not talking to me."I leaned my head on his shoulder, still blaming myself for the now shitty relationship he now had with his mom."Stop doing that," Aaron said."Do what?""You are blaming yourself again."How could he possibly kno

    "Jolie, you told me you understand, so why are you doing this now?" I could hear Aaron saying.I stayed hidden behind the wall so I could hear what they had to say to each other."I do, I did. But seeing you now with her, I just can't. And you are being engaged now. It's too much, Aaron.""Why did you even come? Sharon must have told you what she was planning.""She did, I came because I wanted to prove to myself that we are really done. I thought I could handle it."Aaron made a sound."Aaron, you have to see how fucked up this is, you can't possibly go through with marrying her."Aaron gave a laugh. "And I should marry you?""We love each other, and she is your stepsister."There was a pause, and I feared Aaron was contemplating her words."Jolie, honestly. Even if I were to leave Mia, I would never come back to you. We were never meant for each other."I wished I could see the look on her face as he said that."What are you saying?""With Mia, I can be myself. With you, I had to ki

    Aaron's P.O.VI ran up to the receptionist, panicking because I never thought Mia would have gone into labor so early.We had at least week more weeks before the birth of our child, and I felt like a horrible person for not finishing with the room for my son.I was at work when I got several calls, all with mixed feelings over the birth of our child."Hey, Mia Armstrong-Boyd," I said to the lady sitting around the desk."Your relationship to Mrs. Boyd?""Your husband," I said.After hearing that, she quickly typed on her keyboard while I tapped impatiently on the desk."On the fifth floor, room 105. If you take the first elevator on your left, it will take you directly there."I rode the elevator up, and when the door opened. I was expecting to see the room right before me, but it was the nursery for new borns. "Excuse me, can you tell me where room 105 is?"The doctor looked up from his clipboard."All the way down the hall, second door on the right." He pointed with his pen."Thank

    Seven years later...***"I'm home!" I yelled.I walked to the living room with Aaron in tow, and now I saw why mom wasn't answering.She was busy setting up Christmas decorations. Hey mom," I said."Hey, sweetheart." She grunted out.Aaron placed his bag on the ground."Let me get that for you.""Such a sweet one," mom smiled, and the wrinkled around her eyes got more profound.I watched Aaron as he easily stapled the Christmas lights to the skirting of the ceiling.I still couldn't believe that after all these years, Aaron and I were still together.I did just like in my dream and moved to California and went to Stanford University, Aaron came with me and studied law.He was now a tax lawyer who hadn't failed any of his clients thus far.I was working at a food testing lab, which was an interesting field, and I didn't want to give up on that."Where's dad?" I asked."Out back, he's trying to chop wood.""Oh no," I said."I thought the same thing when he picked up the axe. Maybe you

    The party was going great for the most part, and I didn't know if it was history repeating itself, but a kid by the name of Tyler approached me, he didn't go to our school, else I would have remembered him.He tried to dance with me, when I refused, he called me a bitch and I walked away from him because I wasn't going to let someone I didn't know disrespect me.He followed behind me, and Stacy started to argue with him."What is your problem?"That got him to back off for a bit.I looked around, trying to find Aaron, I spotted him still playing dart with his friends.I placed my cup on the table and talked to my friends.By the time I could talk up my cup and put it to my lips, there Aaron is, slapping it out of my hand."Aaron!" I said.He didn't respond. Instead, he was fighting with Tyler. Punching him in the face and when he fell on the ground, Aaron kicked him in the stomach.I grabbed a hold of Aaron, and he stopped."What are you doing?""I had to teach this little pussy a les

    By the end of the school week, rumors had spread around that Aaron and I were a thing. Mostly because they saw us hanging out all the time, but honestly, we never discussed that.I stood at Tasha's locker, laughing at her antics."Hey," Aaron said as he came up to see.Tasha waved at him, but the skeleton she had been hiding in her locker fell out, and that got me laughing all over again.Aaron was in full football gear, ready for practice and the big game tomorrow. "So, there is this romor that we are dating.''I froze up."I want to make those rumors true. That's if you are cool with that.""I... ye... we...""What she means is yes," Tasha cut in as I babbled on."Awesome," Aaron bent down and gave me a kiss on the cheek.When he walked away, Tasha and I squealed and jumped up and down."Oh my God, this is so amazing," she said.It was, I felt so happy, and maybe, just maybe Aaron and I could get engaged and have that happy life I saw in my dream."Are you going to the game tomorro

    Saturday, I was at the mall with Tasha in a comic book store looking for new mangas. Then I suddenly remembered when Aaron had said , 'we have a lot in common.'I wondered if he felt that way even now.And as if on cue, the doorbell rang, and in he walked.I tried my best not to follow him, but as faith would have it, we bumped into each other."Sorry," I said, and he walked on without a word.I should really accept reality. We will never be together.I doubled back for a comic I saw, and when I got there, Aaron came up at the same time.Our hands touched, and I swore I felt a spark, but I guess it was just me because he didn't seem to have the same reaction I did."Sorry," I said, and again, no response.But what did I expect? After paying, I hurried out the shop and left Tasha there so I could catch my breath.While standing there, a thought came to me.When Tasha came out, I grabbed her hand."Let's go to Madison Park."She frowned. "That's a three hour drive, and we are supposed

    By lunchtime, there was a protest around the school to stop animal dissecting at our school."They were only frogs!" Mr. White yelled while walking down the hall.But the protest was put to an end quickly, as soon as the principal threatened to suspend everyone involved, they all scrambled."Well, that was exciting," Tasha said."Beth kind a does have a point," I said. "As much as I am into all this, cutting open an animal was still... disturbing."On our walk to the cafeteria, we walked by Aaron, and I looked back at him to see him staring at me.Was he smiling at me?At that moment, I wondered if he had the same dream as me.He slammed his locker shut, and that dragged me out of my reverie.Tasha and I sat with our other friends, and we talked about the latest anime episodes we had seen over the weekend.Yes, this was what I was used to. Not me just sitting by myself in a room full of people and not able to express myself because people found animes weird.I felt eyes on me, when I

    Olivia pulled me to the side."Can you help me get the salad?" She asked.I know that it didn't take two people to get the salad, but I knew something like this was coming. Call me inside just to tell me to stay away from her son.Better yet, she would cusre me out and tell me that I was just like my mother.Mom stole Johnathan from her, and I stole Aaron from Jolie."Mia, thank you for doing this." She pulled me into a hug.Ok, that wasn't expected."Uh, doing what?""Helping my little Aaron.""You're welcome..." I was confused. "I know he might not tell you this, and it shouldn't be my place to say. But you saved him.""I did?"She smiled. "Aaron had a rude childhood, and I'm to be blamed for that, before coming to live in Seattle, he was on suicide watch and I had beg Johnathan to take him so he could have better upbringing, but I guess it was too late."Olivia shuffled a few things around in the fridge before taking out the potato salad."Then one day he called me and said that
