"Brooke open the door please." Aiden says once more. I've been in my room crying for an hour straight. After the text from Riley I just lost it.
"Le-leave me a-alone." I say between sobs. I hear the door knob jiggling an the door bursts open.
"What's wrong?" He asks sitting beside me on my bed. I opened my phone and showed him the text from Riley.
"I need to leave. I need to runaway again. I need to not leave any sign of my disappearance. Not that they will care." I say to him.
"You are not leaving I won't let you." He says sternly.
"Why are you being so sweet to me? You just met me today." I ask him.
"Because I see that you aren't like every girl in this town. You don't try for attention. And you don't rely on anyone. You can died for yourself. And I like that about you Brooke. I like you." He says hugging me.
We spent three hours talking. He cheered me up a lot. But now he's in his room asleep and I'm almost asleep.

I woke up to someone knocking on my door.
"Brooke!" I hear Aiden yell.
"What?" I ask in a irritated voice.
"You need to get up for school." He says. I sit up and look at my phone. It was seven o'clock so I quickly got up and got my bags from yesterday and pulled out a pair of sweats I bought and put them on really quickly.
"I need one of you shirts." I say opening the door. He looks down my body with a slight red tint to his face. I look down also and notice I just have the sweats and a bra on.
"Here." He says handing me a maroon shirt. I take it ad slip it on. Putting my shoes on I grab my phone and wallet and make sure I have everything. I don't need a bag anymore because I don't have classes anymore.
"You ready?" He asks when I go into the kitchen.
"Yeah let's go." I say grabbing my keys and heading out.
"So what's your schedule?" He asks me when we are at school.
"I don't have one. You see I had a private teacher when I was gone and she had me doing a weeks worth of work in two days due to my training. She spent an hour going over the work and I spent two hours and completed the work. Then the rest of the time I studied or trained. Day one was the day all of my work was finished so day two I studied from six in the morning sometimes to midnight. It just depended. So I tried school yesterday morning and I already knew everything so Edwards has me in his office all day helping teachers who have some students who need help or just helping him with things." I say as we walk into the building.
"That's cool. So you won't mind helping me with some of my work. Will you?" He asks. I look at him and smile at his adorable puppy dog eyes.
"Yes I will help you." I say with a smile. My smile soon drops when I see my siblings pulling up with the boys.
"We need to go." I say pulling him inside the building.
"You can't hide from them forever you know that right?" He asks. I don't answer instead I lead him straight to Edwards office.
"Good morning Brooke. Aiden." He says with a smile.
"Look I'm going to need to stick with Aiden today. He needs help with his work so I'm going to be helping him. I will come check in with you at lunch. Is that good?" I say. He nods and I smile and pull Aiden out of the class.
"Do you have the boys or my siblings in any of your classes?" I ask him when we get to his locker.
"Yeah there is only one class I don't have one of them in." He says.
"Shit. I guess me and you are staying in the back today." I say and we walk to his first class.
"I'm helping Aiden out today with his work so I will be in your class today." I tell the teacher when we get in there. She nods and we walk to the back corner of the room.
The bell rings and students start to pile in.
"Which ones in this class?" I ask watching the door.
"Riley, Noah, Ross, and Kendall." He says. They all walk in and I put my head down so they don't notice me.
"They see us." He whispers quietly. "And Riley is coming over here." He says to me.
"Where is my sister?" Riley practically growls at Aiden. I kick my feet up hoping to hit Riley and I do. I kick his knee in and he falls hitting a few desks. "Who the hell are you and why did you kick me!?" He yells. I lift my head up and stand up out of my seat.
"It's me. And this is going to be the last day you see my face. I promise you that." I say to him ad grab Aiden by the hand ad drag him the the door. But someone catches my wrist before I walkout. I grab the persons wrist and twist it.
"Damn it Brooke let go of me!" Kendall yells but I don't let go.
"You all are going to leave me alone. You will not touch, talk, or even look at me without my permission or it will be a lot worse then this. And if any of you dare touch Aiden, I swear I will beat you to a pulp. Got it?" I tell her tightening my grip.
"Yes." She squeaks out. I let go of her and push her away grabbing Aiden again.
"Send his work to the office." I tell the teacher and walk out.
