I’ve been endlessly panicking. My heart has been beating out of my rib cage and I can’t stop worrying about Aaron. I’m scared that something bad will happen to him and I won’t be able to help him. I shouldn’t have come here in the first place. I should have known, Kelvin is not a good person, he’s nothing but a dangerous criminal and now Aaron’s life is in danger all because he wants to protect me. My heart lurched in my chest as panic set in. I want to go check on Aaron but at the same time, I don’t know if I should. He clearly told me to stay back but can I stay back? Should I really stay back? Aaron might need me and I need to help him.As I thought further, I decided to just go check on him. He came here for me anyway and it’s not right to leave him like that when clearly it’s dangerous. I need to make sure he’s fine. I reached for the door handle, about to climb out of the car, when suddenly a gunshot ripped through the air. The sound jolted me back into my seat as fear instan
The car ride was silent, but it wasn't awkward. It was good. It made me realize how much Aaron cared for me and how much he was ready to protect me. I never thought someone could care for me like that, but he did. I never thought someone would risk their life to save mine, but he did. I never thought… well, I didn’t think a lot of things, but Aaron did it all. I couldn’t keep my mind off the thought of him, and when he drove to my house and parked by the driveway, I took a moment before I said, "I guess this is goodbye." I didn’t want to leave, I wanted to stay with him even though we wouldn’t be saying anything to each other. He nodded "Yeah, you should head inside and get some sleep. We have school tomorrow,"I nodded. "Yeah, we do." I said taking a moment before I continued "Goodnight." I opened the car door and climbed out. Aaron did the same, but only that he leaned on the car while I walked towards the front door presumably because he wanted to make sure I got inside safely.
The next morning, I finished getting ready for school, arranging my backpack and pulling my hair into a neat ponytail. As I left my room, I silently hoped that my wolf wouldn't decide to unleash an energy attack. I really don't want anyone to know I have a wolf. It would be great for Mom and Dad to know as they have been hoping for me to fully embrace my powers, but given the situation with Aaron, I'd rather keep it a secret from everyone. Losing Aaron would be a much bigger blow than disappointing them.Walking into the kitchen, I was greeted by the delicious aroma of Dad's cooking. "Umm, I love the smell of that, Dad," I said, a smile spreading across my face. He's a much better cook than Mom, and I always enjoy his cooking. Dad turned towards me, a smile mirroring mine. "Really you do?"I nodded eagerly. "Yes, it's so good. What are you cooking?""Nothing special, just casual waffles and chicken with my special sauce," He said with a proud grin. Dad is always so proud of hi
"Alright guys, that's the end of the class," Mr. Davison announced, wrapping things up. "I hope you all have started applying for college, as your final exams will be taking place in two weeks."I groaned inwardly. I had completely forgotten about the whole college application process, not to mention finding a decent after-school job that would fit my desired college lifestyle. With everything that had been going on with Aaron, Kelvin, Nathan, and Jessi, I hadn't had a moment to relax and do anything at all. Now, it was almost exam time, and I was here with no application letter and no motivation for college.I listened as Mr Davison started giving us advice about college and how we need to be more serious about it. I honestly hate it when he gives his random idea that nobody asked for. Not to mention, he says things that we really don’t care about.After listening to him. I packed up my books and left the classroom after the teacher walked out. As I walked down the hallway, Aaron ap
A year ago, I was so excited about college, it was all I could think about and all I ever wanted. I couldn't wait to get an after-school job, find a small apartment, and finally start living on my own. But now, that excitement is gone. I don't even know why, it's just... not there anymore. I was in the library, working on the emails I’d send to the college when I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Nathan standing there, a small smile on his face. "Hey," He said casually."Hey... what do you want?" I asked, confused by his sudden appearance.He scoffed. "Still cranky as ever. You don't even care to ask how I'm doing.""To be fair, I don't really care, and I think you know why," I retorted. "So tell me, what do you want?" I didn't want to talk to him, I just wanted to get to the point. I still haven’t forgotten how badly he treated me and there was just nowhere I could act like all was okay and be friendly with him He sighed, ignoring my words. "Can I have a seat b
Aaron took me to the lake and just like always, it’s magical. I smiled taking in the breathtaking air…. It feels so refreshing and amazing to be here. We were already in the water, feeling its every nuance and sensation. I was swimming by myself while Aaron was doing the same. The silence between us was calming and relaxing which is weird because silence usually bores me but with Aaron it just feels good…. Everything feels good with Aaron and I don’t even know how. As I started swimming near the deck, I heard Aaron call me out making me turn to look at him expectedly. He swims closer to me, smiling at me. I couldn’t help but ask, "What’s that smile for?"He shrugged, the smile on his face broadening. "Maybe I’m happy." "What about?" I asked as he was near to me. He shook his head and responded, "Nothing serious.""Come on, I know there is something. Spill it out, what is it?"He sighed, looking at me for a moment as if trying to gather his thoughts. After a while, he said, "Can we
When he gently pulled out of the kiss, he cupped my face and even though he didn’t say a word, I could tell that he loved it just as much as I did, and maybe, just maybe he wanted more too. Aaron leaned closer to my ear and whispered "Do you want to do something fun?" I nodded eagerly.He smirked "You just want to do anything with me don’t you?""You saved my life last night, I owe you that much," I said.He smiled and took my hand as we swam to the deck. Walking out of the water, Aaron used his shirt to make a mat for me "Lay on it.""Why?" I asked, curious as to why he asked me to do that.He scoffed "Trust me and do as I say, okay?"I agreed and laid on the shirt. He joined me lying next to me. I looked at him wondering what he was going to do next, he didn’t say a word and I didn’t either. Confused as to what we are doing, I asked "So what are we doing?""Nothing, just enjoying the weather. It’s nice isn’t it?" He asked, his gaze fixated on the sky."Yeah, it is," I replied, fee
The next day at school, I was already bustling with so many projects and assignments that needed to be done and submitted in a day. I can’t believe I’m just doing it when it’s just a day before the deadline. It’s so irresponsible of me. Usually, I finish every school work days before submission but now I’ve got a pile of assignments to take care of and I’m not even halfway through it.I’m already exhausted and drained but I know I have to do it anyway. The next hours passed by and I spent it all at the library trying to finish up the assignments at hand. I’ve already told Aaron I’ll be spending all my time at the library because at this point, I really don’t have time to hang out with him nor even have time for myself. After finishing up some assignments, as planned Nathan joined me to get the team project done. He started to explain what the topic was about and how we’d work on it. With each sentence he mentioned, I just nod at him even if I don’t understand.I am just way too tir
Aaron and I arrived at the school hall on time. We got in and met a bunch of our classmates who seemed happy to see us. I even got compliments which was weird because none of them like me, though I guess they are just being nice because we’re all going to leave and have our separate lives in college.I really can’t wait for that to happen. High school has never been a fun place for me, the drama and constant fake life are just too much. I believe college would be the best. Aaron and I had a few mocktails while we talked and tried to enjoy the evening. After a couple of while, he and I decided to dance. Aaron led the way, holding my hand and placing his other hand around my waist. We got to the center of the dance floor and began to dance, moving in the right tone of the song. I love to do classic dance, it’s so smooth and relaxing. "By the way, I noticed you’re staring too hard," I said wanting to tease him like he did to me. I plan to tease him about this all night long. "Is anyt
I tilt my head to the other side, trying to see if the tiara goes well with my dress. Noticing it was too shiny for my outfit, I quickly took it off. “Nope,” I mumbled, keeping it aside. I sighed, grabbing the other tiara and slipping it on. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't seem to work with the purple gown. If I was wearing white, it would have been perfect, but purple just doesn't go with it. I tossed it back on the table and tried the third one which was the last one, but just like the others, it felt off too. Maybe a tiara wasn't the right choice after all. I shook my head and decided to go with my hair down. It was simpler and wouldn't clash with my outfit.Tonight is the night…. The night I’ve been waiting for. It’s prom night and I am more excited than ever. I’m usually not a fan of school events but this just feels right. I can’t help but feel like I’m going to have a great time today and with Aaron by my side, it’s probably going to be one of the best nights of my life.
It’s been a few days since Aaron asked me to be his prom date. I am still as excited as I was days ago and I just can’t wait to go to prom with him. I’ve already got my dress and shoes ready waiting for the day to come. The past couple of days, the school has been great. I’ve finished all my projects and everything else I needed to get done. My college applications have also been sent out and I’m hoping to get a response in a week or two.I turned to my right only to meet the beautiful blue eyes of Aaron. There is something about his eyes that just makes my dad feel good about everything. I smiled at him and he responded with a smile before turning his attention to the stars.Aaron and I are lying on the grass watching the stars at the lake. It’s very peaceful and I can’t think of anything else that would be great to do aside from this."Why are you staring at me like that?" Aaron asked after a moment"I wasn't staring," I lied.He scoffed, "Yes you were. You can't seem to take your
"Aaron and I are not in any relationship, and he's definitely not cheating on you with me," she said, walking towards me.I raised an eyebrow looking at her questionably, turning to Aaron who looked desperate for my approval. "How much did he pay you to come here and lie to me?"Pay me?" She questioned in disbelief "Aaron didn’t pay me, in fact, he doesn’t have to because he’s not lying about anything. I’m only here because he told me what happened between you guys and I didn’t want a little misunderstanding to ruin your relationship with him that’s all."I couldn’t help but scoff "Do you really expect me to believe that? I saw how happy he was when he met you, that smile on his face couldn’t have just been there for nothing.""Well, I don’t know about the smile but he was just happy to see me, that’s all." she explained before taking a moment to continue "I mean, I’m his best friend’s girlfriend, and seeing me is like seeing his best friend.""Aaron doesn't have any friends," I count
Going to school has always been like a chore to me. I hated going there but I believe today would be worse. I’m no longer with Aaron which means I’ll be all alone in school making it obvious that my life is nothing no less than a boring dream.I could already feel the nagging feeling of anxiety swirling through my veins as I thought of how things were going to be today. I can already tell it will feel like reliving the same day Nathan broke my heart. I still remember the pain I went through. The eyes that were googling all over me, the overwhelming feeling of being alone, the deep desire to just roll on the ground and never raise up… I really don’t want to feel that way again but deep down I know I’m about to go through that again. As Dad drove me to school, he parked the car in the driveway and kissed me on the cheek. "Make sure you enjoy every bit of this day pumpkin." He said, his smile seemed forced. I could tell that he already knew my day was likely going to be the worst. I
Hours had passed since Aaron left the house. I had dinner with Dad, who tried to get me to talk about what was happening between Aaron and me but I couldn't tell him anything. It’s hard to admit that I was cheated on twice in just two months—first Nathan, and now Aaron. It feels like I'm cursed, and maybe relationships just aren't meant for me.I don’t seem to understand why this keeps happening to me when all I do is love them. I’ve done nothing but love Nathan but he still cheated on me and now Aaron did the same.It hurts so much because I thought Aaron would never hurt me like that and if anything, I always believed that he would never cheat on me. After dinner with Dad, I collapsed onto my bed, desperately trying to distract myself from the pain I was going through. Just as I was starting to drift off, I heard a loud knock on my window. A sudden groan escaped my mouth “Ugh,” I already knew the person knocking was Aaron. He is the only one who knocks on my window and also the on
I grumbled in bed the second I got home. My eyes were already sore from all the tears I’d shed and my heart was completely shattered from all the pain I was feeling.I still can’t believe Aaron would do something like this to me. After everything we’ve shared. Every moment we had, he just had to shatter everything and be with another girl. Why would he want someone else when I’m here for him? Why can’t he just love me the way I love him? Why can’t he just be loyal to me like I am to him?I want to say all men are the same and that they’re a piece of shit and a total jackass. But then there is Dad- a man who loves my mom with all her flaws. I wish all men could be like him, at least then fewer hearts would be broken.A beep from my phone jolted me back to reality. I didn’t bother checking my phone but as I heard it beep again, I checked to see that Aaron had sent me a message wanting to come over for pizza night. I couldn't believe he had the audacity to message me after what he did t
I can’t believe I didn’t realize this sooner! I really love Aaron—it’s so obvious now. I love hanging out with him, chatting, being around him and honestly, I just don’t want to let him go. It’s clear as day that I love him; I just needed a moment to see it and I’m glad I finally did. Aaron means everything to me. He makes me laugh and smile, and he’s always there for me. Spending time with him is just the best.As I was walking down the street, hailed a taxi, and told the driver to take me home. I had to change into something nicer before meeting Aaron. While I was in the taxi, I got even more excited about him! I can’t wait to tell him how I feel, but then I started wondering—does he feel the same way? What if he doesn’t? Does he think about me like I think about him?So many thoughts were swirling in my head making me nervous about the situation. I can’t seem to figure out if Aaron likes me, all that I know is that he’s super nice and kind to me, but I’m not sure if that means he
The silence between us was awkward, but the strong noise of the rain pounding down made it feel better."It's a lovely weather, isn't it?" Nathan said, breaking the cold silence.I nodded. "Yes, it is." I turned away to the window, looking at the rain and just wishing that I get home as soon as possible. It's already late, and I don't want Aaron to come for our regular pizza night and not find me there. It's already bad enough that I didn't tell him anything. The drive continued in silence until I decided to turn on the music and it started playing my favorite song- a song Nathan disliked. I turned to him and asked, "How is this playlist playing my favorite song without me even searching it up?""I was listening to it on my way to the cafe," He replied casually "But I thought you hated the song."He scoffed. "I did, but now that I listen to it nearly every day, I see the hype. I like it.""Well, that's new. I'm so surprised.""You shouldn't be. I mean, ever since you left, I've been
