Chapter 10

Tw: Death

"What?" I ask.

I felt tears prick at my eyes.

"Is- is he ok?" I asked.

The principal glanced at the police officers and my mother let out a sob.

"Your father unfortunately passed away." The police officer says.

I felt like my entire word stopped there. Like the oxygen in the air disappeared and I couldn't breathe.

"I understand if you need a while out of school, this will be a very hard time for you. When you come back your grades will be the same and the days you miss will not be counted against you." The principal says.

"Can we leave?" My mom asks, tears still streaming down her face.

"Yes. Go get your stuff Y/n." The principal says.

I force myself to stand up and walk out. My legs felt like they were going to give out and my breathing was heavy. Tears finally fell down my face as I walked to my locker.

Aidan

I waited a few minutes after Y/n left and raised my hand.

"Can I use the restroom?"

"Be quick."

I got out of my seat and left. I wasn't going to the restroom.

I turned the corner and saw Y/n packing her stuff up. Her head was down and she lifted her hand from her bag to wipe her face.

"Y/n." I say walking up to her.

She slams her locker shut and slings her bag over her shoulder as she walks away.

"Y/n." I say more sternly.

I run up and grab her shoulder. Her head hung lower than before.

I got in front of her and stopped her from walking away.

"Look at me."

She just shakes her head.

"Y/n, look at me." I say with a softer voice.

Y/n

I finally looked up at him. My face was red and tear stained.

But the question that lingered through my thoughts,

Is why does he care?

"What happened?" He asked.

I was trying to say something but nothing came out of my mouth.

"Hold on." He said before he pulled out his phone.

He texted someone in his phone and put it back in his pocket.

He pulled me into a hug and I don't know why but I hugged back.

I honestly don't know what's happening right now.

But I hug back.

I let a few tears fall and he just rubs my back.

It felt almost comforting.

No.

It was comforting.

"I'll be at your house in about an hour." He whispered.

I nod into his shoulder and he lets go.

"I gotta go, but we'll talk about this later."

He walks away and as I walk back to my mom I'm still wondering why he cared.

It's not the most important thought in my mind though.

I mean, my dad just died.

My friends don't know.

My close family other than my mom doesn't know.

So why did the popular boy find out before them?

A/n: Sorry y'all, I just had to make you fatherless like me 😝

He didn't leave me
