"What are you doing here?"
"You really need to practice on the timing of your words. I was passing by so I heard someone yelling, which was you, obviously"
"Well, thank you.."
"You're welcome, where are you going anyways?"
"I was going to meet my friends at Starbucks.."
"Great, I'll walk you there"
"No, it's ok I'll go there by myself"
"Stop it, let's go"

"You know you're cute when you're being nice.."
"I know right!", he laughed. Why did I all of a sudden fall in love with his laugh? Eww, I shrugged.
"Anyways, I'll be in London for a while, my mom is really sick and I need to go see a doctor there"
"Ohh, I hope she gets better soon", I smiled. He smiled back.
"Great, I'll see you on Monday then"
"Bye"

"Ayyye Jade!", I high five them both.
"So who's the hottie?", Rosie raised her eyebrows.
"Is he your boyfriend?", she makes kissy faces.
"Eww, no, stop it!"

Days are passing by and my life is still boring. Aiden traveled a week ago. I have this itchy feeling, do I really miss him? No no. But I should probably check on him, I mean his mom.
-Hey
-Hey, Taylor!
-How's your mom?
-Not really fine.. I'm coming back in 2 days
-We'll talk when you're back. Gn :)
-Gn :)

Wtf am I doing? Do I really miss him?!

Finally, it's Friday! Aiden's supposed to be back today. Why am I happy again?
Friday is almost over and Aiden is supposed to be back, but he never said anything. Weird.. Maybe tomorrow he'll call or text me.  I turned off the lights and closed my eyes, I was really tired and I thought I'd fall asleep quickly, but no. I heard a knock on the door. It's 2:00 am?! I took  a baseball bat with me in case it's a murderer.
"Aiden? What's wrong?", he looked really sad. "Come in, you want some hot cocoa?"
"Yes, please.."
"Alright what's wrong?"
"My mom has stage 3 cancer.."
"Oh my god! What did the doctor do about it?!"
"He said we can't do anything but hope for a miracle, he knows nothing right?"
"It's ok, don't worry she's fine. That doctor knows nothing about her."
I found him lying  on my lap. I gently played with his hair. "Don't worry, she'll be okay", but he was already asleep.
