HIDE

Chapter Fifteen

Aeris' POV

I sat in my usual corner of the room, staring at the floor. My mind has been running rapidly ever since I found out about him. I can never look at him the same. I thought he was a great guy; one that giggles and tells you stupid jokes just to cheer you up. That was a lie. He's a monster. And I now know that's true.

"Aeris!" Kayla waved at me, trying to get my attention.

I raised my eyebrows at her showing that I was paying attention.

"Did you hear me?" She asked.

I shook my head.

She nodded in understanding. This has been happening quite often. I just zone out and focus on my own thoughts. I don't know how they haven't gotten sick of me yet, but they still love me. "I said," she frowned, "One of us needs to confront her."

I furrowed my eyebrows. I stretched my body out across the floor in attempt to grab the note pad and pen.

Finally, I pulled it to myself and returned back in my original position.

"Who?" I wrote out and slid it to Kayla.

"Aniza." She answered after she read what I wrote.

I frowned thinking about her. I missed my boo so much. I thought that she was gone from my life forever and it was killing me. I was so happy to see her again. But I guess she didn't feel the same...

Kira's POV

I watched Aeris for a little while. I felt bad seeing the way she would curl herself in a ball and isolate herself in that smelly corner from across the room. I miss her voice and that little giggle of hers. That was her hobby. And that's one thing we all loved about her. Her laugh was contagious. We could all laugh for hours and not even remember what it was about.

Kayla seemed to be doing the same as I. We are all very worried about her. That's a fact.

"No. I already know, I don't need you to remind me, but thanks anyway." I hear Kayla say randomly. I know it's most likely to Alex so I just ignored it.

"How about I tell a story. To cheer us up a bit, yeah?" I ask, looking at the two.

They both nod and scoot towards the center of the room across the chipped floor to hear me clearly. Kayla rested her head in her hands while Aeris decided to lay on her stomach.

"Ready?"

"Yeah." Kayla answers for both of them.

"Okay..." Well I probably should have thought about a story before I started to tell one. "So... there was once a pizza with a macaroni ballsack..." I began and they both chuckled lightly.

"Wow. That's great Kira. Amazing start." Kayla rolled her eyes still laughing lightly.

"Anyway, the pizza was very sad because of this. He felt weighed down. None of the other pizzas had macaroni ballsacks. Mr. Pizza always got laughed at and was never invited to the other pizza games. And it wasn't like they made pizza pants, so he just had to let it hang..." I thought out more of my story and thought of the poor pizza's problems. "But one day he met another pizza with salsa instead of marinara sauce. He thought Miss pizza was beautiful the way she was. And she felt the same about about him. She was the first one to actually talk to him without breaking down in giggles. One day, Miss Pizza and Mr. Pizza got married and had spicy ballsacked childern. The end." I smiled proudly to myself and the girls just stared at me with there jaws hung open.

"What. The. Hell. Was that." Kayla stared with a shocked, yet amused expression.

I shrugged and leaned against the wall. "That's the first thing that came to my mind at the moment."

"That was a great story." Michael laughed from the dark corner of the room. How didn't I see him? How long was he there?

"Thanks," I blushed and looked down at my lap.

"You guys have an hour out of the room. Get done with what you need to." He clarified and walked out of the room, leaving the door open.

We all stood off the floor and Kayla was the first to head out. I followed after, Aeris walking slowly behind me, seeming to not want to leave.

I shivered, feeling eyes on me as I walked past the cold blooded boy. My feet carried me across the floor boards to the living room downstairs.

There she was. Aniza.

She was sitting with Luke. His arm was tightly around her body. It was almost as if he was afraid to let her go. Or maybe he does love her. I don't know anymore...

But how could she just do that! Move on and ignore us! Who does she think she is?

My blood was boiling now. It took every bone in my body to just walk away from her. Somehow I did it, but it wasn't on my own.

"Hey." Michael smiled down at me.

"H-hi." I looked at him wide eyed.

"Wanna Netflix and chill?"
