My One And Only

Weakness...

"Hey, Lou... I'm just wondering if we could talk, but, if you're busy, I'll call you later..." said Claudia. She's on the phone with Louis, and this is Aaron. I'm taking over her place now. She is a bit busy, she has lots of things to explain to Louis and Niall. They are all confused.

I know that deep inside her heart, Claudia loves Niall. The only problem is their situation that really is not supporting both side. Bad things happened, and after that, we don't knot how to explain it. Especially, when everyone see and hear it from the media. Everyone knows that we can't trust media, it is just so hard when they have evidences, right? right? right? I wish I can help Claudia more than this, my self, I don't know how to handle this kind of situation. Never got into one. Now, I am just listening to Louis and her talking on the phone.

Hey babe... you know I always have time for you, right? We can talk now... said Louis! It's a good sign for Claudia, he was so upset with his sister's decisions of Niall and also Simon. I realise Louis is in a difficult position, between his sister and his best friends. If I were him, I will just pretend that nothing happend, even though at the same time, if it's Claudia, you just want to protect her, don't want to see her to get hurt. It's too complicated.

"I know, but we are in difficult situation... Lou, I'm still going to photoshooting with Simon. Trust me, nothing will happen... It's just a photoshoot, nothing else... besides, you know that I still love Niall..."

You still love Niall!? What about the break up? Louis emphasizes his sentences. We heard her explaination so many times. But at some point, we couldn't really believe it when Simon is around her, and she is getting closer to him. If you know what I mean... I know Louis trust her, it's just he wants to make sure that Claudia's feeling is still for his bestfriends.

"Lou, don't say that out loud... I don't want anyone to hear it... It's just all the things that happened lately, I thought long distance relationship won't work for us... if I didn't break up with him, soon or later, someone will get hurt, we are breaking badly... say, I break up with him to save our relationship and friendship, before we destroy it slowly but sure..."

We all know that things didn't do well between both of you, the medias, the gossips, and everything... you know what I thought, breaking up is a bit harsh on Niall, don't you think, and then there you go, you got yourself a new boyfriend, Simon...

"Louuu... will you please be on my side... I love Niall! It's hard on me too... what if those bad things keep happening between us, and we break up in worse situation, and we can't be friend anymore... That's the worst thing ever... I won't let that happen... Come on, Lou... are you serious!? Simon? I swear there's nothing between us... we are just friend... and I won't let Simon get inside me, please trust me..."

We are all on your side, but we are on Niall's side as well... The lads love you both... I trust you... But don't afraid to let me down, because, all I always wanted is you, my little sister, to be happy... I love you, little brat!

"Louis!!! I love you too!!! You and Aaron are the best brothers in my life?"

AARON!? "Yes, he is here... he was here the whole time since you were mad at me..." she looks at me and smiles. I haven't seen that smile for two days long. Yes, the whole time here, because I am so worried, she skipped classes, didn't picked up any phone called, locked herself in her apartment.

When I came here, she was lying down on the floor; only eat junk food, there was noodles cup on the coffee table; tissues everywhere; she hasn't slept; she looked pale. So I decided to stay during my break and stay over, I can watch her, she can't do anything bad to herself while I'm around. She wouldn't do anything bad, she just won't eat, won't sleep, it will make her sick. Don't want that happen. I'm so glad that Louis is not mad at her, and try to understand her position.

"She hadn't eaten anything but noodles, and hadn't slept..." I shout at Louis, "I'm a better brother..." I exclaimed. Haha... Seriously, I am better, aren't I?

Are you, really? Babe! Why? Now I feel like I'm the worst...

"Shh... Aaronnn..." she punch me, she is so weak. Way too weak for her. "I gotta tell the truth, look at you! Talk to Niall now, and go to bed!"

Wait, I'll give it to Niall... she still put the phone on speaker, she thought I can help her talking. Of course I will help if I had too. Most of the times, I will just listen and after she hang up, we talk about that.

Hey babe... "Hey Ni... thanks for your time..." Don't worry, I'm glad you call... and I'm glad to hear everything, we haven't talked for a while... I heard everything... I was just afraid if you find my replacement directly, but after what I heard earlier, I'm okay with everything, means that we can get back together later...

"Yeah, that's what I thought... I'm so glad that you understand... Niall... trust me with Simon, nothing will happen... but if before the time we get back together, you find someone that you love, you don't have to wait for me..."

Silly girl, but I will let you know... you can go to bed now! I heard everything, and I want you to go to bed, Aaron, please take care of her... 

"I will..." I replied, and she followed me, "Yeah, I will, Niall! Good night!" said Claudia. They both hang up. So, a good ending, it is. I'm so glad this is clear for everyone, at least she can sleep now. Just so you know, I don't mind if I have to take care of her. She is a little sister to me, I'm doing a brother's job.

She moves closer to me and sits next to me. "Thanks for taking care of me..." To be honest, I never asked why people like her; she is beautiful inside and outside; people might come to her because she has this beautiful looks, and she always smiles; and then they got to know her, and fall in love deeper with her. That's what happened to me for the first time, I was amazed, because she is so kind and so beautiful at the same time, I thought for a while, if I met her first, I would fall in love with her. But, it turned out that we have lots of similarity, tha we crossed the relationship pattern and jumped to brothership. When I think about it now, If I fell in love with her, I wouldn't have a sister and a brother at the same time.

"Don't worry... I'm worried, we are all worried... Taylor was so worried, until I could get in here..."

"And sorry for all the mess that I made..." she's leaning on me. "I'm used to it, aren't I?" she smiles, for me, she still is so weak, look happy now, but still weak. "I love you, Aaron, my brother!" she kisses my cheek, and I kiss her forehead, never seen her like this before. Louis and Niall are her weakness. If something happened between them, she is screwed...

"Aaron, if I do something wrong, or something that make you angry, please talk to me... you are as important as Louis and Niall..."

"I won't, I will talk to you directly, I guess, no matter how angry I am, I won't do that, because I don't want you to be like this, not eating, not sleeping, desperate... now sleep... I'll stay over again, tonight if its okay..."

"Thank you... yes, please, stay... I'll make tea, do you want one?" she asks, I won't let her do that, so I get up and make her tea, while she is waiting in living room. Making tea for her and myself.

I come back, she is asleep already. These tow days has been so hard and so long for her. I just picked her up and carry her to her room. She looks just like an angel, she looks so calm. Of course she is, she is smiling while sleeping. I don't know why, but the fact that I'm one of her weakness, I'm so happy, she made it clear that I really am her brother, although not bound by blood ties, I am as important as Louis and Niall.

You know why I'm so happy to know that? It's because she is my weakness. I found a strong connection between us. If something bad happened to her, I'll be frustated, I just want to see her happy... People, don't misunderstand this feeling, it happened because I always wanted to have sister and here she is, Claudia! I will protect her; just like everybody else protecting their brothers and sisters. :D
