" You aren't ready yet?" Aiden's voice knocks me out of my thoughts.
I glance away from the window and turn to him. " No, I uh........" I pause when I notice him glance down to my exposed arms.
" I won't do it again, you know." I mumble, walking over to my bed to take my gown, so as to cover up.
He sighs, earning my eyes.
" I don't like the fact that you did it in the first place." He mentions.
" Will it make it all better if I tell you that it was my first time doing it?"
"Knowing that it was the last time, eases me." He says, not tearing his eyes away from my arms, even though I have covered them.
" Aiden, they will disappear soon." I say, mentioning the marks.
" I know that." Somehow he looks like he doesn't believe his own words.
" What's the problem, Aiden?" I ask through a sigh.
" You did it, that's

I knew that at some point, once I started hanging out with Wesley, glances and stares, wouldn't be a foreign thing.It's proven by how much I've both caught and felt, people stare at me. I don't understand why they won't just mind their own business, seriously.To think at some point in the past, I would have told Wesley to stay away from me, if I was faced with such a situation, but now things are different. Wesley and I are friends.And I value that.So I won't be intimidated by people openly staring at me. Wesley's friendship is above feeling uncomfortable right now. It's unfortunate that we aren't sharing a class right now, because I don't know how he's doing. He isn't covered by his hoodie today and therefore, he is at the centre of everyone's attention.I just hope he can handle this and hold on until the end of school. A sigh of relief takes over when the bel

WesleyI want to call him but I'm afraid to. I'm afraid that the impact of Aiden's words, that were thrown at him, were too much of a weight on him.Aiden lost control of himself and was downright mean. I know that there was more to just scolding us and making us see our wrong, in skipping school, but the way he went about everything was not right.Yes, things had been left under tension between us, but I just can't understand, what else could have set Aiden off. There were times when I would watch Aiden and worry, that he has invested himself too much in being my parent, rather than being my brother. That is where we find ourselves riding on tension, because sometimes he loses that sense of understanding me.He can forget at times that I also have my own life, to better understand myself, to make mistakes, and to experience what life has to offer for me. He also has a life and as

Leaving again.......The idea alone makes me to think really hard, on what mine and Aiden's next move would be. Moving is nothing new for us because we've been running, for most of our lives.We've never remained in one place for as long as we have here, we were starting to get comfortable, and I believe it's what has scared Aiden a little. I've found myself questioning our level of comfortability when it came to this place.Preparation for leaving at just about anytime, has never been lost from me, but I must say that being here, has felt more at home than any place we've ever stayed at. I can actually picture long term in regards to this place, but Aiden's happiness and peace of mind holds more value, than everything else.So, if it's time for us to leave, I'll accept without any protest. I'm putting him first, just as he has always done." Penny for your thoughts?" I snap ou

If someone told me that I would one day, much sooner, might I add, that I would come downstairs to see Wesley Adams, in a new haircut with brown highlights, no hoodie, white shirt and light jeans, I wouldn't have believed it.He looks nothing like the guy I last saw, he neither looks like the captain everyone knew, and totally not like Wesley, the guy who wanted to disappear and stay unnoticed. He looks refreshed, if that's the right word to use." I'll uh, leave you guys to talk." Ingrid says, leaving the room.I don't respond, not that I've said anything since I saw him, I've basically been staring openly at him." Chloe -----------" He steps closer." Who are you?" He stops in his tracks, his brows pulling together." Uh, Wesley?" He says, with a cute, confused look on his face." You look different." I let out without thinking, causing his face to fall

I let out a sigh before turning around to face Wesley. I've never seen him frown as much as he is doing right now." Wesley ------------"" Are you leaving?"" Maybe." I mumble, dropping my eyes to my feet, not being able to bear looking at the many emotions that cross his face." Why are you leaving?"I don't answer, feeling held back from opening up to him." Chloe, look at me, and tell me why you are leaving ?!" My head snaps up, to see a scary look in his eyes.He's not hiding how much he is upset." Wesley, I don't think you want to use that tone on her ever again, especially infront of me." Aiden's voice comes through, adding to the level of tension in the house." Aiden, please." I say, not wanting him to get involved." Look Wesley, about the other day, I was out of line and as for an answer

Silence had taken over quite a long time ago, after I told him the whole truth. I revealed about Luis and his controlling and abusive ways, my mother passing away and how it's always been Aiden and me. I tell him about how for most of my life, I've been moving from town to town, in hopes of safety and seeking refuge, long enough, that we would have a plan B." Don't look at me like that," I mumble, getting off the bed." I can't help myself because I care and I'm hurt. When you hurt, I hurt and I'm sorry." He says.I sigh, looking at the wall." Let me help you."And this is the reason why ladies and gentlemen, I didn't want him to know." No Wesley, I've already involved you enough just by telling you all this. I don't want you to get in, more deeper." I say, glancing his way." I don't care about me, your safety and well-being comes first." He says, risi

My patience is simply running thin with the stares. I thought it would pass, but nope, it has intensified, and now I've chosen to take refuge in the school library, just for the break.I didn't pay any mind to the few glances I've received when I entered the library, now with time passed, I feel like myself again. I know that Wesley meant well by what he did this morning, he didn't want me to remain under such attention, but I don't think he understands, what all this may mean.I feel him sit on the chair next to mine." I've been looking everywhere for you."" Well, you found me." I say, not tearing my eyes away from my book." Chloe, what's wrong?"" Nothing, just tired of the stares I've been receiving since morning."" Since when have you cared about them?" He says, his tone teasing.I turn away from the book to look at him.

" You've kept this for too long, she needs to know the truth. So if you don't say anything soon, I'll be forced to do it myself." This is what I walk into, Aiden saying or ' warning ' someone over the phone this morning.I watch him sigh before hanging up." Someone must have pissed you off this morning, huh?" I see him tense up from where he's standing.He turns around to face me and I take notice of some deep emotion, crossing his face before it disappears." You're not going to school today." He suddenly says." But Aiden ----------"" We need to go to the doctor and check if all is good."" I'm all good now, Wesley took care of me." I blurt out, making Aiden to raise his brows while my eyes widen in surprise. " Uh, what I meant was ----------"" I know what you meant."" No, I didn't ----------"
