Forever and Always

Part 15

I asked for the tree to be delivered to Aiden's house. It's so huge tho.
Harry called me.
- What?
- I have to tell you something. Can you come now?
- Alright..
I drove off to Harry's. And well.. Mine too.
He opened the door and stood so cold.
"What's wrong?!"
He motioned to me to go sit.
"Listen, Taylor. The day we came back and saw Aiden at our house Jessie told me something really important. I had to tell you but I really couldn't, I saw in your eyes how much you love that guy. But it's time for you to know. Jason broke Jessie's heart.. He was the reason they didn't get married. She saw him..
It doesn't really matter now. Jessie, in revenge, took everything from his house. All he had to do was tell Aiden to get closer to you to get revenge on Jessie. He doesn't love you, Taylor. He only wants to ruin Jessie's marriage. If you don't believe me you could go ask him."
"You're so blinded by this girl.. This can never be true.. Aiden was an asshole when we first met, but I know he would never do that, even if he hates the living shit out of me."
"I'm sorry,Taylor.. But this is the ugly truth."
"Let go of my hands!", I screamed in his face.
"Taylor! Please, you have to believe me. Stay away from that guy."
"No Harry. I'm staying away from you. You can't possibly be my brother. You believed her not me. She's your girlfriend, but I'm your sister. Goodbye, brother."
I picked up my phone and left.
No.
What if it's true.. It can't be true.

I drove back to Aiden's. I knew I had to ask him. If he was conscious...
I took him quickly to the hospital. This can't be happening..

"How is he, Doctor?"
"He's fine. It seems he had some pain and somehow he couldn't handle it. Oh, and you could go see him."
I ran quickly into his room.
"Taylor? What happened?"
"Nothing, sweety. You're fine don't worry. What's the last thing you remember?"
"I was trying to call you to see why were you late, and then I stood up to get my phone, but I felt my knee hurt again. I guess that's why I passed out.."
"It's okay..", I smiled and held his hand.
"When are we going home?"
"Now", I smiled.
After like and hour of  reproaching  from the doctor, we left. Apparently, I can't ask him about Jessie.
We got back home and went to bed.
I tucked him and left but he grabbed my hand.
"Aren't you going to sleep beside me today..?"
"What.. Yeah.. Sure.. Why not.."
I honestly don't know why I wanted to sleep in another room if I don't believe Harry.
I slept on the other side of the bed but I looked away from him. Do I really believe Harry? If not, why am I angry?
"Are you mad at me for some reason I don't know?"
"What.. Of course not", I turned around and wrapped my arms around him.
"Aiden?"
"Yes"
"Do you really love me?"
"Taylor, I more than love you. There isn't a way to explain how much I love you. Sometimes I feel like you're the air I breathe. If you left me, I think I would actually stop breathing", he kissed my head and hugged me tighter.
I don't think I believe Harry.
~~~
I woke up hugging a pillow. I quickly got up looking for him.
I found him sitting on the couch and watching the TV. "Did you have breakfast yet?"
"No, I was waiting for you."
"Aww, have you been waiting for a long time?"
He looked at his phone, " an hour and 30 minutes."
"Are you crazy? Why didn't you wake me up! Of course you're starving now."
I went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. "Do you have bacon?", I yelled from the kitchen.
"Yaaaas", he yelled back.
"Where is it?", I yelled again.
Nothing.
"Hello?!"
I turned around to go see what's wrong to see him standing behind me holding a pack of bacon.
"Gosh, Aiden! Don't fucking do that!"
"Taylor, the bacon was right in front of you.."
I laughed. Seems like I am not really paying attention.

I was done and we were eating when I decided to ask him. I couldn't hold it anymore.
"Did Jason really tell you to get closer to me just to get revenge of Jessie?"
He dropped his fork and stared at me. "Who told you that?"
"Just answer me!"
"I swear Taylor that was only the beginning.. I loved you. I really loved you.."
I dropped my fork too and got up. He grabbed my hand, "No Taylor, please don't leave me..", his voice cracked.
I left as soon as I felt my eyes tearing up..

I can't believe this is actually true. But.. I can't leave him if he's that sick.. No! What if something happens to him! I had to go back. I opened the door quickly hoping he's okay.
Only to find him sitting in the corner of the room burying his head in his knees.

''I decided I can't leave you only because you're sick..''
He raised his head and looked at me and smiled crookedly. "Thank you..but you can leave, if you don't believe me then stay away from me.."
I stood still for a couple of seconds then left, I had to get some sleep or my head's going to explode. I couldn't really fall asleep quickly though..

2am. I slept for 7 whole hours. I raised my head to get up and found a wet piece of cloth falling. "You're up..",
He came into the room. "What happened?", I asked.
"You slept for a really long time so I went to check up on you. You were still sleeping but your head was burning, so I thought I should do something.."

''Thank you..''

He came closer and rested his hand on my forehead. ''I think you're better.''

He left the room and closed the room. My head still hurts. I don't know what to do. He seems really sweet. And part of me believes him.. I felt like I could sleep for more time. And I surprisingly woke up the next day. I found breakfast prepared beside my bed. And a note beside the plate that said: Good morning, I prepared your breakfast this time.. Maybe that'll make you forgive me faster.. I love you ♡
