Take Me Home Tonight

Facade

Lacey Woodley sat on the metal benches outside of the student union. Anita gates sat next to her and across from them sat Casey Lundy; and Max Mills sat besides her," I can't believe Andrew has been spending time with that Aiden guy lately said Casey. I mean he broke poor Pete's nose and he almost killed that guy! Max sighed I don't understand it either he's so willing to let Rachael go but he gives a strange  Violent, guy a chance. Anita was about to join in the conversation but she spotted Andrew and of all people she would later tell Rachael! That creepy ass Aiden boy. And to almost everyone's horror Andrew and Aiden were holding hands! Casey gasped out oh my God. Max jabbed her in the side girl hush! Casey looked at Max as if she wanted to protest but she didn't. Andrew walked up," hey guys what's up he said looking around at them Anita smiled and told them to sit down. Andrew pulled a chair from an adjacent table, and sat besides Max, Aiden just stood there looking. He looked like someone who was completely out of their element. Andrew looked at him," are you gonna sit down or are you going to play stone statue he said smiling at Aiden! Yeah Lacey said looking at Aiden have a seat we want to talk to you. Aiden reluctantly finally pulled up a chair next to Andrew's" Casey glared at him not saying a word it struck Andrew that she probably didn't like Aiden because of the fight at the beta house which had resulted in Peter's broken nose. He wondered what was going to happen next he was almost certain the outcome wouldn't be good. It was Anita  who spoke to Aiden first," so Aiden what's your major she said looking at him with a half curious expression! Aiden who had been looking down at his hands looked up at Anita. I'm a secondary education major Andrew looked puzzled; wow he didn't tell me that he thought. Not that we've had allot of time to talk about school!.why would he be in advanced criminal psychology then if he was a secondary education major? Andrew wasn't the only one who seemed troubled over Aiden's major; Anita squinted at Aiden," that's weird I thought you were In Andrews advanced psychology class? Aiden nodded yeah I am or I was in Andrews class. I dropped out today! Anita nodded so what's your focus mine is language arts" Aiden shifted in his seat well I'm thinking about going into physical education. Before Anita could ask another question Lacey spoke up," so are you two dating now she asked Andrew bluntly Andrew looked at Aiden who just looked back at him without any expression. Andrew smiled well Lacey to answer your question Aiden and I just decided we wanted to date on the walk over here" this announcement made Casey look up from here phone. She looked angrily at Andrew and Aiden and dropped her gaze back to her phone! Max was the next one who had a question for Aiden. So man where are you from originally he said casting a friendly glance at Aiden; Faulk Arkansas I haven't really been home since I was 18. Almost Seven years ago Aiden said all of a sudden Andrew noticed his expression he looked bleak and somehow dark like someone who was about to be sentenced to life in prison. And I moved here to Annabelle from Mt padma Mexico! I lived there with my ex boyfriend ever since I left Arkansas. Max nodded oh ok man he said even he seemed to sense Aiden's expression change, Anita was back to her round of questions. So don't you have any family in Faulk I mean surely your parents or someone must miss you?. Aiden sighed I thought this was just going to be a lunch date Andrew," he said looking at Andrew who then looked at Anita. Nita chill ok maybe everyone doesn't like to talk about their family life ok? Anita nodded sure that's possible but what parent wouldn't be concerned about their child especially one who's living in another country and they haven't seen in six years. Aiden looked at her," fine he said if you must know they don't talk to me when they found out I was gay they disowned me and kicked me out! My step dad even said he'd kill me if he saw me again so no they could give two dicks about me or what I do. Anita looked embarrassed, look I'm sorry she began to say but Casey interrupted her. So Andrew aren't you going to ask your little boyfriend why he beat that guy and why be broke my Peter's nose? You know you don't want to end up with someone who might beat the shit out of you. Andrew looked at her with anger but before he could respond Aiden turned and looked at her. "Fuck you Bitch! fuck all of you! he said in a low and rage filled voice. Andrew is my boyfriend and I like him very much and if you don't like it you all can go fuck yourselves but now you're starting to piss me off. And that's the last thing you want to do! he got up and stormed off before Andrew could stop him" Andrew looked at all of his friends what the fuck was that you guys? Seriously what the fuck. Anita spoke up Andrew something is wrong with that boy and you know it! Andrew snapped at her no Anita I don't know that I do know my friends pissed off a guy that I like. Then he got up and walked off he tried to find Aiden but he couldn't he called his phone but it went to voice mail, and finally Andrew gave up and went to his car. As he was getting in  when a black crown Victoria police cruiser pulled up it was Rachael, Andrew sighed oh great this is just what i need right now. Rachael got out of the car and looked at Andrew, looks like I just caught you Andrew sighed Rachael, I told you guys everything I knew yesterday If I remember more I'll tell you. Her partner spoke up that's not why we're here Mr grant," Andrew looked up Oh why what's happened ? He said Andrew"  Philippe Cruz was found murdered this morning and we need to question you Rachael said Andrew looked on shocked.
