GENERAL POV:

Aidan and y/n were sitting on the chairs of the coffee table , both of them were lost in their thoughts .

Aidan was thinking to find a way or reason to justify himself but he himself knew that everything he did was wrong.

On the other hand y/n was thinking how had things escalate this much in less than a week . First Everything is fine and normal . Then Aidan arrives and she loses her friends and witnesses murders and lots of things that she never wanted to see .

As the silence seemed to drag on Aidan decided to break of silence by saying
"Do you want anything to eat ? ".
Y/n was unsure not about being hungry but about if the food would be poisonous or not . She nodded anyway .

Aidan went to his kitchen then he realized that he literally has nothing in his kitchen except for kitchen items and tools .

So he quickly told y/n that he will be back in a few minutes . Then Aidan thought what if y/n calls the police or runs away. Unbeknownst to him y/n was thinking about doing the same thing.

But Aidan shrugged of the thought cause even if she did Aidan could escape and he probably deserved it .

After a few minutes Aidan returned with food from Mc Donald's and to his surprise y/n was still there and no cops were in sight . Even y/n was surprised at her actions .

Y/n's POV:

I don't know why I didn't call the cops while I had the chance .

Maybe cause I wanted answers to where has Aidan been , what has he been doing besides killing and the most importantly WHY HAS HE BEEN DOING IT AND WHAT MADE INTO A KILLER ?.

Aidan returned back with food and we started to eat . Even though I ate the food , it doesn't mean I trust him . That's why I had my caution level to Extremely High .
After we finished eating the burger , fries, and coke I started to ask my first question .

"What have you been doing the past seven years ?"

Aidan sighed and answered :"Killing people".

I felt a bit anger cause he said that without any signs of remorse or guilt. It was like he was playing a game that was killing . Which to him it probably was.

I asked :"Do you even feel any guilt for the 500 people you killed ? And answer honestly."

He replied :"No , If i have to be completely honest , I had fun and pleasure, but know that I think about it maybe killing the innocent ones were wrong but the people who were actually bad deserved it "

Now that's a start , at least he has the decency to think its wrong .

I ask my last questions :" Why ? Why do you kill ? What happened to you ? What happened to the Aidan that I knew ?"

Aidan expression changed a bit but didn't go to a murderous state .

He replied "Maybe because you never knew the real me , you only knew the me that was bullied and that my parents were there but didn't care about me . But you didn't know the details , Did you know that the bullies used to beat me up ? Did you know that my parents abused me physically and mentally?! Did you know that I would have knife cuts everyday that I would be starved for some days !? NO ! ? That I would be locked up , the bruises you saw and you thought were from accidents were actually from being beaten and you never knew . And I don't blame you cause you were 9 or 10 ."

Aidan continued:"And to further answer your question, on the day I killed my parents , on my 10th birthday I finally got rid of them . Because after I came from school my parents slapped me and that was the last straw .
I killed every single person that ever hurt me . The bullies , my parents . I then decided to kill other vas people . But along the way I lost my emotions , my happiness and all I had was emptiness and blood lust . I started to kill people regardless of being good and bad , young or old and I didn't care cause I ducking enjoyed it .

Maybe if I told the police something might have changed right ? No! Cause my parents would bribe them . And don't get me wrong I never wanted to become a killer , happiness was all I wanted and if I couldn't get it from the world then I thought why should I let the world get it ?
And now I know it's was wrong to kill the innocent , but for the first time in 7 years I am feeling something, happiness , so please y/n don't go , cause your my source of happiness, and I don't think I want to be known as a serial killer anymore . I know it's too late to apologize and I know that the past cannot change but at least I can try to change myself "

Throughout Aidan's long speech my jaw went to the ground and my eyes went out of their sockets and my brain ability to process things was gone .

How could I be that much of an idiot . I was his friend and yet I didn't notice all these things about Aidan . If only I had noticed then maybe I could have helped him .

No one should have to go through this . I am not saying this justifies anything he has done but I think his parents and bullies and the bad people he killed deserved it . But that doesn't excuse him killing innocent people .

But maybe he is trying to actually change . And what if sending him to prison would ruin his chance at becoming a new person . So I guess no cops . I think I am having a mental war with myself .

Wait a minute ?! What does he mean that I am his source of happiness .

I was about to ask but when I saw his face , his eyes were glossy . No freaking way , Aidan fucking Gallagher can have tears .

Wait this is not the time for this .

Should I hug him or something. I mean I am part of the reason for all this even if e disagrees .

I hug Aidan and Aidan stiffens and backs away and I don't know what's wrong .

He asks " what are you doing ?"

Holy shit Aidan has never been hugged before . That poor Murdering Child .

I tell that I am hugging him and go for the hug again . This time he seems to relax .

After what seems like forever we break from the hug . Then Aidan asks me " What now ?"

What Fucking Now Indeed .
