The truth behind the lies

Chapter 12: Never stop

AEROS POV
"Why didn't you tell me you wanted a job here?" I said as flipped the burger on the grill. "I didn't want to bother you. Your busy, you know you have a life." she replied.

I have a life? Interesting news. "And you don't?" I asked curiously. She wiped her bangs out of her face and smiled. "I have a baby. You don't. It's as simple as that." she said wiping of one of the tables.

I walked over to the coat hanger, and grabbed my coat. "Just because you have a baby doesn't mean you don't have a life. Will you be fine here?" I asked zipping up my coat.

"Yes I will be." she smiled. I smiled back and said, "Because I can stay." She then frowned and turned me around. "Go see your boyfriend. Mr.Adams will Be here to take over soon anyways." And that's what I decided to do. I waved a cab down, and told it my destination.

We pulled up Bens driveway, and a smile came across my face. I tipped the Cab driver, and then watched the pale yellow car drive away. I can't ask to be brought to a neighbourhood like this and not tip. I walked up to the door, to see a sign that read:
"No need to knock."

I then opened the door a little so I could peek in. I saw nothing in the living room, so I went all the way in. I then walked passed the bathroom, and stood in the hallway of the kitchen. I hear blasting music, to the tune "old time rock n' roll."

I looked in to see Ben holding a broom and singing along.

"Still like that old time rock n'roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul, I reminisce about the days of old,
I got that old time rock n'roll." he sang.

I then started to laugh, making him turn around. He ran over and shut the music off and took of his sunglasses and put the broom in the floor. "Aero? Uh hi... didn't expect to see you this early."

I couldn't help but smile at this. "Here I am. Shouldn't you be resting." I asked. I placed my bag down on the table. "Eh, rest smest. It's been 3 weeks, I'm all good." He then hand motioned me to follow him, so I did.

We went up the stairs, and into his room. We sat on his bed and talked about our days. He told me about his "rock and roll" and I told him about work. "It's not the same with out you." I told him.

"Well because I'm awesome." he replied. We just talked for an hour.... or two.

LILAS POV
"Parker, you want to do this again? The last time we did it, we ended up with a baby." I said as he kissed my neck. "Only if you want to." he said looking at me. I did want to, so I did.

BENS POV.
After I dropped Aero off at her dorm. I can't believe the deal I made with her. She said, we could only continue, if I made other friends. I went and sat down on a bench. I didn't really know how to make friends. Did I go to people, or do they come to me? I saw a few people, but I didn't go up to any.

They summer breeze was flying, bouncing off the trees with the summer sun. I turned my head, to see someone coming over.

He offered his hand, and asked, "Hello, is this seat taken?" I shook is hand and said, "Uh no it's not." "I'm Trevor. And you are-?" He asked.

I wanted a minute. Somebody came up to me! And he looks like one of the more popular people. "Ben." I finally said. "What are you doing here?" He smiled and asked.

"My girlfriend said we can only continue to go out of I make- other- friends.." I said thinking I might regret it. "Well, you got a friend now now. What do you say you come and hang out with some of my buddies of mine?" I was exited.

Barley anyone asks me to hang out, so I said the only logical thing to say. "Yes." I slowly stood up, still healing. The first week was terrible, the second one a little better.

We got to this weird old house on the 2nd avenue. we walked in the front door, and there was some terrible smell. "Hey what's up dudes?" Trevor began.

I looked around to see a bunch of dudes with, what couldn't believe. Drugs. "Do you do anything Ben?" Trevor said picking up pot. I didn't want to loose my only friends, so I lied. "Uh yeah totally." "Good answer. Everyone, this is Benji!"

AEROS POV

I finished my book finally. I also made my self dinner. Mmm yum, macaroni and cheese. Besides cereal, it's my speciality. I finished, the movie of my book to. The fault in our stars by John Green. I cried a little, but also laughed. I just barely finished washing my dishes, when I heard the door open. "Hello? Lila? Is that you?" I yelled drying my hands.

"Nope!" I heard a male voice yell. I into the living room to see Ben barely standing up. "Ben what are you doing?" He looking in about 20 different directions, and sputtered out, "I'm here to see Micky mouse." I looked at him funny.

I went up to him, and held on to him. "Ben are- are you high?" I asked shocked. "What? No I'm not high, I'm hiighhh." I couldn't believe it.

"You told me to make friends, and did I that yep I did." he was barely making any sense. I then noticed he was bleeding.

"Uh Ben? Why are you bleeding?" He looked down, and said, "Oh I guess I ripped my stitches when I was walking through the woods." Great. Just great. I then Picked up my phone, and called the doctor.
