Aiden's pov;

I was sitting there sulking, looking at myself in the mirror. lifeless expressions written all over my face. I was so used to always smiling, what happened to that guy? The one who always smiled even when he didn't feel like it, the one comforted people whether they needed it or not, the one always made them laugh, was never sad? or so I thought..

that guy... that guy is me.. but he wasn't smiling.. I opened the shoebox under my bed and, I took out a knife I saw me reflect through it. how could they? After all we've been through? Nobody forgot the twins birthday when they turned 16 their birthday looked exciting, thrilling.. My parents never forgot Ben's birthday either..?  no my parents.. my blood..  how could they forget so easily..? it wasn't very surprising, but it hurt..

I thought at least my friends would remember something.. I was thinking about all of this as I look at my reflection through the knife. I put the knife to my bare chest, thinking nobody would give a shit if I did it, as was just about to attempt.

I heard a knocking on my door, I didn't order anything and, I hadn't asked anyone to come over either..that was until I hear Ashlyn's voice I didn't believe it at first and thought wow.. I'm going so crazy that I'm imagining her voice now..?? god it would be nice if she was here right now... well that was before I heard her the second time. "um.. Aiden..? you there..? It's me Ashlyn! Is everything alright??"
I was shocked stunned to even speak.. um I couldn't keep her waiting "uh- give me a minute I'll be right out there! Ashlyn?! I thought to myself wait no.. no I couldn't let her see me like this. I couldn't believe it The Ashlyn Banner, the one that hated me was at front of my fucking doorstep.. no, I'm not going to break down in front of Ashlyn of all people.. I put the knife away in a shoe box and, placed it under my bed. I went to bathroom. I splashed cold water on my face and, quickly dried my face my face with a towel and went to open the door.

"Aiden! There you are, you know I thought you weren't gonna-" "oh.." she looked up at my face yeah.. I guess it was visible.. my under eye bags, my puffy eyes, redness that swelled under my eyes. it looked as if I hadn't slept in weeks. she couldn't definitely tell something was up..

she took my hand lightly and, dragged me inside. closing the door behind her. she walked me to the living room "I can walk by myself you know.." I said as she sat on the couch. "Aiden.." "you know if something is wrong you can always tell me right??" I starred at her deeply my eyes never wanting to leave hers.. it's clearly obvious, I haven't been alright. she hovered her hand over my knuckles.

eventually I couldn't take the pressure anymore. the intense eye contact just broke my last string, I broke down completely in front of Ashlyn, just sobbing on her lap. she seemed to understand my emotions, but I could see that she had somewhat idea of what was going on. after sniffing and sobbing for the past 10 minutes, in the same position. she started to run her hand through my hair, looking at me intensely.

I finally gathered the courage to face her "Ashlyn.. you know what day it is.. right..?" She looked as if she had got the last bit of information she needed after I said that sentence "well.. that's actually why I came over.. sorry, I didn't ask before coming over, I didn't think it was a big deal. neither did I wanna spoil the surprise, but Aiden.." she swept a piece of hair away from my face and, placed her hand on my face. I think she saw my face turn a shade of baby pink "I would never forget you.. we would never forget you.. ever.." wait. is someone else here too?? I thought to myself "I don't wanna spoil the surprise but, we can't be here for long just remember that though. you are.. unforgettable!" She chuckled, my head was spinning.. surprise?? Unforgettable?? What is going on right now?? "I starred at her blank" she was so pretty. usually I could tell when her smiles were faked but, this time it looked genuine, that it reminded me that day we were at the arcade and, I challenged her to a just dance battle.

it just made me more confused, what was happening? how was she so pretty? hold on.. why am I thinking of something like this right now??? "haha" she let out a slight chuckle "cute" she whispered in a low voice, I don't think she new I heard her, so I let her know with my facial expressions and, she like just froze. her cheeks tomato red.

Ashlyn's pov; 

(help my girl out- ) It was just now I realized he heard me.. I slowly felt my face turn red like a tomato.. what was this feeling and, why was I noticing it now? I felt embarrassed..? no.. flustered..? uneasy..? I don't know.. but i felt butterflies around in my stomach!

We broke eye contact but, i whispered "happy birthday aiden-" before I could finish my sentence, he lunged up wrapped his arms around my chest and, and gave me one of the tightest hugs that i almost fell over on the couch, as ever as if he never wanted to let go. "I love you Ashlyn." He whispered in my ear" and, I had sparks in my eyes. I found myself hugging him back "I love you too aiden" I gave him a light kissed on the forehead and he buried himself in my chest, covering his red face his heart was pumping fast, I could hear it and so was mine. I took his hand, "let's go get you washed up" I brought him to the bathroom and, washed his face. he said he needed a minute to change, I waited for him on the couch and, when he was dressed. ready to go he just wore a hoodie and a pair of beige shorts, he had the same red one he gave me, we were now matching hoodies.

He caught me starting him for a moment "what?" He chuckled "do I look good?" "well yeah.. can I say that?" a smile slowly formed on my face,  right as I said that sentence "oh.." he slightly blushed and, I laughed "come on! Or we'll be here forever" I got up, turned him around, "don't wanna miss your birthday!" I put my hands on his shoulders, forcing him out the house.

the end~
