Chapter Six

Serena's P.O.V.

Throughout the rest of the car ride, I watched as the Instagram fight between my followers and this hate page ensued. And it reached a point where I started to second guess my career. And I didn't know if that was normal or not. "Did they say anything else?" Aidan asked when we were back in the hotel room. "Yeah. Now they're saying that your using me for clout and that you don't actually love me," I answered, a sob at the edge of my voice.

Aidan sat on the bed, taking my hand in his as he stared into my eyes with love. "Baby, that's not true. You are the most amazing girl in the world, and I would never use you for attention," Aidan assured. I knew what he was saying was from his heart, but I was still unsure. "Tell me you love me," I whispered. "What was that?" he asked, lifting my chin gently as I glanced down.

"Tell me you love me, please," I said a little louder. Aidan flashed his beautiful smile, leaning in until his lips crashed onto mine, making me immediately sink into the kiss. My hands went to his cheeks and we continued the kiss as if the world was going to end at any moment. With every kiss, I could feel every ounce of his love. And my mind was taken out of that dark place and into a state of true love.

When we finally pulled away, all we could do was stare into each other's eyes, coming back to reality from one of the many romantic moments we shared. "I love you, Serena, with all my heart," He promised before placing a kiss on my forehead. "I love you too, Aidan. I don't know what I would do without you," I smiled. I grabbed a nearby blanket and covered us as we snuggled together, my head resting on his chest and his arms resting against my hips.

We held each other close until it was time for us to get dinner. And even while we were eating, Aidan and I held hands underneath the counter as we ate our vegan pizzas. Afterward, Aidan was taking a shower, and I was sitting on my phone, talking to T.J about the situation with the hate page.

T.J.

T.J: I've dealt with trolls like that before. It's hard to ignore them at first, but eventually, you start to ignore them.

Serena: I know. But it's just hard for me. Ever since my past, it's hard not to confront people when they do stuff like that to me.

T.J: Your past?

I then realized that I hadn't told her much about it. I admitted it to Cam but never to her. And I started to feel a wave of unease crash over me. I told her that I would talk to her about it when we saw each other again. When Aidan got out of the shower, he grabbed his guitar before climbing onto the bed and sitting down to me, strumming a beat on his guitar. From what I was hearing, it sounded like the beginning of 4th of July.

Serena: Memories made in the time that we had
Memories fade, but the best ones will last
As time moves on I keep looking back
At all that we had

Aidan: Do you remember the times that you and I laughed?
Do you remember the days spent laying in the grass?
Cause now it's been years but I keep looking back
The good and the bad

Both: Kiss me like it was the fourth of July
Fireworks froze like stars in the sky
I'll always remember the fourth of July
The look in your eyes

Aidan: Sometimes I fall victim to a past part of me
They're still sitting up there with you on that tree
Tears in your eyes
You were so happy
Said forever you'd love me

Serena: And something about your smile that just freaks me out
Can't help but feel my heart will give out
Beating in my chest
It's getting louder and louder
And I'm shouting out

Both: Kiss me like it was the fourth of July
Fireworks froze like stars in the sky
I'll always remember the fourth of July
The look in your eyes

Serena: Kiss me like you were back there that night
When fireworks froze like stars for you and I
I know you remember the fourth of July

Both: The look in your eyes
The look in your eyes
The look in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

Aidan: Oh, and hold me near
Before we disappear
And hold me here
Oh, be forever near

Serena: And hold me near
Before we disappear
And hold me here
Oh, be forever near

Both: Kiss me like its the fourth of July
Fireworks froze like stars in the sky
I'll always remember the fourth of July
The look in your eyes

Aidan: Kiss me like we were back there that night
When fireworks froze like stars for you and I
I know you remember the fourth of July

Both: The look in your eyes
The look in your eyes
The look in your eyes
The look in your eyes

Serena: Do you remember our little tree?
And all of the pictures you hung up of you and me?

Aidan: Oh, it took me an hour just to get 'em off that tree

Both: That's how much you loved me.

Aidan and I stared at each other as he strummed his guitar one final time before setting it to the side and we embraced ever so tightly. "We should play this song on your tour. I'm sure the fans would love it!" Aidan suggested, tucking a piece of my hair behind my ear. "I agree. We should do it," I whispered before kissing his cheek.
