13- Pictures?!

"Wait... I want to ask Aiden something!" Lucia interrupts.

"Yeah?" Aiden looks up at her. There was a drastic moment of silence.

Lucia sternly looked into Aiden's eyes. 

"Spill it already, you're making me nervous pipsqueak!" Aiden laughs but Lucia's expression did not change. She was being dead serious.

"Aiden..." Lucia starts speaking.

Aiden and the rest of us eagerly looked at her. There was too much tension in the air. 

"Tell us why you have-" She continued.

The next few words completely shook my existence. I never saw that coming. It was absurd to even think something like that, even in my wildest dreams. Everyone looked equally shaken. For the first time in my life, I saw Phoenix with extra widened eyes. Kai slowly covered me from Aiden. Lucia stood right opposite Aiden and blatantly stared at him while a wave of panic struck his entire existence. 

"WHAT THE HECK DUDE! ARE YOU A CREEP?" Felix shouts at him. 

"GIVE US A BLOODY EXPLANATION AIDEN!" Phoenix yells. 

"Tell me this isn't true, please..." Natasha whispered.

Lucia suddenly swung his closet open and-

A box full of pictures fell. We all quickly bent down and examined them. It was pictures of my mom and me just like Lucia had said.

"Tell us why you have so many pictures of Skyla and her mom. I even spotted her childhood picture and it's not one or two, there are about a hundred of them."

Lucia's question echoed in my mind.

I instantly turn towards Aiden. He diverts his eyes to the floor. 

"Aiden... please explain..." I mumble.

He doesn't move an inch. Aiden stood there, with a poker face while the others rummaged through the pictures. I looked at them and found that everything was from my past, before changing to Waterford High. 

Phoenix stands up and grabs Aiden by his collar.
"DUDE, ARE YOU A F**ING STALKER?" 

Aiden turns his head away. I was still shaken by seeing the number of pictures. I scan his closet and something very familiar caught my eye.

"M-mo-mom's scarf?" I pull it out.

I look at Aiden in disbelief whilst holding the scarf in my hand.
