Room-mates.

Autumn

Aaron POV:

"Babe, I have some biscuits for you and your buddy." A girl says in a playful voice. I sigh and look at Teddy.

I stand up, he reached for a comic on my desk. I walk over to the door and as soon as I opened the door she started kissing me I pulled away only to be pulled closer. 'Baby, stop. Teddy is here.' I say.

'Well, maybe Teddy can leave.' She says smiling against my lips. I pushed her off.

'Yeah, I could just go.' Teddy said annoyedly, I heard the sadness and frustration in his voice. He got up.

"Thank you, Teddy." She said sarcastically, she was a complete replica of ':)' but it was more of a smug smile, not a sweet one. It wasn't anything like Teddy's.  Teddy glared at her and walked between us and clutched the handle. I took his hand before he could leave.

Both of them were glaring at each other, Teddy's eyes were full of hatred. What the fuck is happening?  I quickly let go of Teddy's hand, I forgot I had it. 

"Let him go then." Her smug smile reappeared. "He said okay." What a bitch.

"Teddy isn't going anywhere. But Autumn, you are." She was shocked, and so was Teddy.

'What, why?' She said. I only said it to keep Teddy in the room, I struggled to find an excuse as to why she should leave. 

"Teddy needs to unpack his bags." I say with a small smile on my face. I looked at Teddy who was still standing there. 'Stay.' I whisper.

Teddy POV:

I honestly didn't know how to react to any of this especially when he told her to leave and demanded that I stay. I don't even know why I'm still standing near a pathetic excuse of a girlfriend. She was such a bitch to me and we could've been good friends.

Tension was building, I backed away from the door. Autumn was still standing there, penetrating my soul with her eyes.

"Why are you staring at him?" I wanted to leave, but Aaron wanted me to stay.

"He's already taking you away, he barely knows you." I sit down in the middle of the floor.

'If he wants to be friends with me, let him. Leave him alone.' I begin to fiddle with my fingers.

'I bet he doesn't know you have tattoos.' I begin to wonder whether they think I've disappeared from the room.

'Of course, he doesn't know I have tattoos, we have only known each other for what 4 hours? If that?' He begins to raise his voice, my anxiety starts to kick in.

'He's probably gay! He probably will find a way to sleep with you, and then we will break up!' I begin to shake.

'Get out.' Aaron said. She doesn't move. 'I said get out!' Tears ran down my face as she left. Aaron shuts the door and runs his hand through his hair, he seemed stressed.

This takes me back to when I was with my parents. Constant arguing over me, over my sexuality. I went through so much therapy ever since I got my first boyfriend. His name was Harry, he also committed suicide. Due to my parents making his and my life a living hell. I was physically and mentally abused he was mentally abused and I guess he couldn't handle the pain anymore. He was the first person I had ever fallen in love with. That brings us to now, constant anxiety, flinching, half the time I feel like a child.

"I-I am s-so sorry." I say, as I looked down at my hands. "I really shouldn't be here, I haven't been here a day and I've ruined your relationship with Autumn."

'You can't ruin something that's already broken.' He says, 'And none of that was your fault. So get that idea out of your head.' He comes and sits next to me. he turned my face to look at him as if he was going to kiss me. 'It's okay.' He says wiping the tears from my face, I feel my face getting warmer. He rubs my cheek and hugs me. At first, I just sat still, but he hugged me for like 3 minutes. I slowly hugged him back and a smile grew across my face. I could smell his cologne and he smelled great.
