✓ Midnight Phantoms ✓

chapter 4

Aiden woke up with an ear splitting headache, what he'd describe as "the time everyone was in the phantom realm and that ceiling fell on me" Aiden shifted to the side, his hands skidding across the covers for a pillow, to no avail he plopped his hand down and a loud smack sounded. He'd accidently smacked Tyler while looking for a pillow..whys Tyler in bed with him anyways? Aiden groaned a bit before he sunk back into the pillows and blankets, is seriously no one up?

Aiden got up and walked downstairs, grabbing himself one of those breakfast bars. Aiden gagged slightly whenever he ate it, it wasn't..pleasant. after he was done with the breakfast bar he threw away the wrapper, spotting the empty shots of alcohol in the trash can. Oh, that's why he has a headache.

A few minutes later Aiden walked to his bathroom, looking for pain killers. A slight groan came from him as he noticed the rest of the half-empty pill bottles. Aiden took some pain killers and then these hangover pills. After that Aiden rummaged through the cabinets, finding a full bottle of these fever reducer pills Aiden opened it, looking it over. He'd swallowed a few full bottles of pills before..it was only because he was left alone. He didn't know what to do. Aiden kept staring at the bottle before Ben walked into the bathroom, grabbing Aiden's shoulder. Ben signed angrily "don't try that, you know what happened last time." To which Aiden replied with a groan, putting up the bottles. Ben and Aiden walked out before he looked up at Ben who started signing something "did you and Tyler have a fun time last night?" Ben asked with an eyebrow raised. "Are you trying to ask if we had sex? No, Ben. Now what about you and Logan? I know those hickeys on Logan's neck didn't appear by themselves," Aiden said with a Snicker before he walked into living room.

After about 30 minutes of pacing Tyler walked into the room, grabbing Aiden by the shoulder "dont call me halfwit whenever youre the one pacing around a room for 30 minutes, electrical chair." Tyler said before he wacked aiden on the back of the head. Aiden winced before.he put up a thumbs up and a smile.

Aiden and Tyler walked into the kitchen, finding Ben and Logan.. making out. That made Aiden laugh,.meanwhile Tyler looked over at Aiden with an "I told you so," type of look. Aiden and Tyler walked out, leaving Ben and Logan be.

Aiden and Tyler decided to walk around the house for literally no apparent reason. "Y'know, you're a bitch." Aiden said with a smile to which Tyler said "oh yeah?" And then lunged at Aiden. Aiden and Tyler started to wrestle for a little bit before they ended it after Aiden started snickering. Now the two of them where on the ground with Tyler above Aiden, and Aiden below Tyler, both of them laughing. "Did I tell you about my arcade?" Aidan asked curiously to which Tyler looked over at him with his mouth agape. "What."

Aiden and Tyler ended up trying to beat each other in just dance. Aiden won.. "I told you! I told you I'd win!" Aiden said with a grin as he looked down at Tyler who was lying on the floor, flipping Aiden off

Like two minutes later everyone else walked downstairs to see Aiden dancing again, everyone ended up watching him dance to Rasputin, what does the fox say, and Barbie world..of course he had to have someone else play with him so he had Tyler be Ken.

After all of that happened they decided to go get some ice cream. Everyone got dressed and ready.

Aiden was wearing a band tee, jean shorts that went just above the knee, bits of jewelry here and there, mid-calf socks with some converse, plus this bag that was on his shoulder

Tyler was wearing baggy jeans with random bleach dyes in them, a bikers jacket, and a hoodie under it considering he was always cold

Ben was wearing a Abercrombie jacket with a fur collar, some dark blue jeans, a dark red scarf, plus some earrings black stud earrings

Logan wore a light blue and white striped sweater along with some light blue skinny jeans with a mask, white sunglasses, and an extra pair of headphones for Ashlynn

Ashlynn was wearing a sleeveless green band shirt, a green hoodie over it with some black baggy jeans

Taylor was wearing a dark green sweater with a black shirt peaking out from under it, a brown skirt with some skull leggings and green leg warmers

While they where out, Aiden was literally shivering, he insisted on not wearing a jacket because "it'd ruin the outfit." Eventually he gave in and borrowed Tyler's biker jacket which was decently warm. They where out at the arcade and getting icecream for 90% of the day, until they decided to go ahead and go downtown.

When they arrived there, there where tons of random shops, which got Aiden hooked and..eventually lost. Luckily, everyone had life 360 on their phones and found him at one of those puzzle shops.

Aiden had probably spent 125$ worth of puzzles within 5 minutes because he was alone. Aiden had given everyone about 150$ to spend, considering he'd been saving up his allowance. Ben had a free for all though because Ben had his own allowance. Ben ended up buying Logan a sweater, Ashlynn bought Taylor some rings and this cute lace skirt.

Aiden bought everyone something, he bought Ben a new pair of headphones, he got Logan one of his favorite book series, he got Taylor some new leg warmers, he got Ashlynn a dark green hoodie, and he got Tyler a pair of twinning rings for Tyler and Taylor to wear considering Tyler cared about his sister the most over anything.

After their little shopping spree, Aiden sat on the bench, swishing his feet slightly as he looked over towards the beach.   Nobody has gotten Aiden anything. Its fine though, right? It wasn't until Tyler showed up with this small box in his hand, holding it out towards Aiden. Whenever Aiden opened it, it was some macarons and a ring inside of it, all it said on it was halfwit 1, and tyler had a matching one that said halfwit 2..but Tyler wasn't gonna tell Aiden that. After Tyler had given Aiden that little gift, Tyler was like gone. Too embarrassed to admit that he'd gotten Aiden that stuff. Whenever Tyler was back they where on their way to the movies and Tyler could see Aiden fidgeting with the ring.

The movie they where gonna watch was semi-scary and semi-funny. Aiden laughed at all of the scary scenes, unsurprisingly, and Tyler held back screams. Tyler was gripping onto Taylors hand, which Taylor eventually got up and whispered to Ashlynn, asking to switch her and Aiden. Aiden was next to Ashlynn, but he was now next to Tyler who had his eyes shut super tight. Tyler grabbed Aiden's hand, unable to realize who's it was. Taylor and Ashlynn leaned forward, invested in what happened before they sighed with a smile. Tyler started running circles on Aiden's hand to distract himself, finally realizing it was Aiden he jerked his hand back, making Aiden yelp. "What the fuck!" Tyler yelled, standing up and walking out, Aiden went to go apologize but Tyler was already long gone.

Aiden ended up leaving out a different exit, deciding to go home early. Meanwhile everyone else finished the movie and met pack with Tyler who scowled slightly. They ended up going back to Aidens house, to find it cleaned up. Aiden was scrubbing his hands aggressively, with the way the soap was already extremely low indicated that Aiden had probably scrubbed his hands quite a few times. Whenever Aiden ruled them out as clean, he walked out into living room, meeting everyone else.

This was sloppy sorry, I was rushing it ALOT
