Aidan's Pov:

Knowing that Y/n was back made me feel better, I knew she was safe and didn't have to worry about anything. After somehow avoiding everyone that was in the kitchen we both sat on the recliner that somehow fit in my room, it felt so random to have it there but it was a good spot to sit at, at times.

Y/n sat on the arm with her legs across my lap, she was scrolling threw Instagram because she kept sending me the most random memes, but they were the random ones that were funny. Odd.

I looked at her, admiring her, her smile, eyes, they were everything. I could tell that she knew I was looking at her by the giggle she kept trying to hide by covering her mouth with her sleeve.

"Y/n-" I said, but she tried ignoring me. I laughed a little, "Y/nnn stop ignoring me-" I whined. She set her phone down and looked at me, and moved herself to where her body was between me and and the arm rest.

I wrapped my arms around her stomach and pulled her in, kissing her jawline and burying my face into her neck.

I heard her laughing and then her arms wrap around my neck, "I never knew your clingy side was so..." she stopped and I lifted my head to look at her, "Clingy?" I finished laughing with her.

She nodded, "Aidan I'm gonna fall." She said in between laughs, "No you're not I got you-" which was true, I was holding her waist, but I could tell she was starting to slip away. "Aidan you butthead! Pull me up!" She laughed more. "Hm.. nope" I smirked.

"No more kissing me, I'm gonna go sleep on the couch for now on-" she protested. "Hey! No you're not, you'll sleep with me." I said pulling her up into my lap, she sat up and kissed me, "I was kidding.." she smiled laying her head back on my shoulder.

It was quiet for a couple minutes as I held her, and then something I kind of forgot about came to me. "Todays our last day of winter break.." I said looking at her.

She groaned, "Fuck Aidan why'd you have to remind me?" She complained closing her eyes. I laughed quietly, "Because.. I'm a butthead according to you" she looked back at me having the look of regret on her face.

"You're not a butthead number one, and number two I have this teacher that's always checking on me. What the hell do I say now? I'm not at home anymore, I'm here-"

While she said that I knew exactly what teacher she was talking about, "Mrs. Roberts?" I asked, she nodded in response. "She's helpful Y/n, I know it can be annoying because a teacher wants to know how you are but it helps. She helped me a little.." I said moving the few strands of hair out of her face.

"I'm scared to tell her, everything that's happened-" her voice started cracking, I could tell she was wanting to cry. "Hey.. look at me.." I touched her cheek and her eyes met with mine, "You're my strong girl, you've gotten this far." She smiled, "Fine.. you're right. I'll talk to her tomorrow-" after she finished I laid my head on her shoulder.

Her hands played with my hair, and I felt calmer than I have in a long time it felt like. I could slowly feel myself getting tired, I kept still and held Y/n's waist starting to shut my eyes and fall asleep.

After the bell rang I put my things into my bag, being the last one out of class like usual. As I was about to walk out I heard Mrs. Roberts say my name, I stopped and looked at her. "Aidan do you mind if we talk for a sec?" She asked me, I slowly nodded and came to her desk.

"Theres been rumors that you've been sleeping in the janitors closet and that you have no where to go. Is that true?" She looked at me being calm, I tried to deny it, "N-No.. rumors like you said-" I smiled nervously. "Aidan if you need help just talk to me, ok?" I looked down at her desk and then back at her.

"They're not rumors.. they're true Mrs. Roberts-" I said feeling the disappointment in my voice, I knew that she was looking at me just by the feeling that was in my stomach. And because of it I wanted to throw up, it was funny on what guilt could do.

A couple seconds later she put her hand on my shoulder, "I can help you if you need me to-" she offered. But instead I shook my head no, "I'm fine.. but thanks though-" I said leaving knowing that she wasn't done having that talk with me.

__________

-For anyone confused, it's of what really happened. So Aidan did not get help from the teacher when she had offered it and when he told Y/n it's because he doesn't want her to go through the grief of the pain like he did and lied to her.
