Jorydn's POV

Yawning, I sat up in an unfamiliar bed. Looking around, I noticed I was in someone else's apartment.

''Finally, you're awake''. Aaron stood in the doorway, a cup of orange juice in his hand. I couldn't help but smile, he returned the favor. Walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed, Aaron handed me the orange juice and 2 aspirins. 

''Thank you''. I popped the pills in my mouth, tossing my head back. ''So, how did I get here?'' I handed Aaron back the glass and the set in on the nightstand.

''Well, I was out partying last night, and I saw you. I considering going up to you, but I thought you didn't want to see me after last time''. he coughed awkwardly, remembering what happened between us the other week. ''Anyway, later in the night, I saw you wondering around. You , stopped. That guy you arrived with was with another girl''. I nodded, picturing that blonde bitch slobbering all over Cameron. I was angry, and sad, of course. But just a little bit relived. ''Anyway, I saw you were all upset over that dick wad and went to the bar. Still keeping my distance, I noticed a guy at the bar slip something in your drink. So I wen over and kicked his ass, getting us both kicked out after you fell into my arms''. It all clicked, I went dizzy, them fell into Aaron's arms. he saved me.

''Thank you Aaron. I mean it. So much. And I'm sorry, you know. For everything that happened before''. He nodded, hiding the hint of sadness and guilt in his eyes in his eyes. But he slapped a smile on his face and pretended to be okay.

''Anyway,'' Aaron handed me and short blue cotton dress, with yellow flowers, then a black pair of heels. Just my size. ''I had my assistant run out and get you these. Hop in the shower then we will go for lunch. Its already 1:30''. I thanked him quietly as he left the room. Wandering into the bathroom connect to the room I was in, I noticed a black lingerie set sitting on the counter, along with many Lush products. I have to admit, he treats me good.

The warm water felt good along my body, as if it was washing away all my regrets and mistakes, The biggest mistake of them all, Cameron. The biggest regret, not being able to let go of Nate. Tears dripped down my face as I looked at my life, a hopeless romantic that just leads guys on. Nate deserves better. Better than me at least.

I was startled by the sound of the shower curtain pulling open. Aaron stood there, admiring my body. I blushed trying to cover myself up. But he grabbed my hands and pulled them down so that he could see my whole body.

''I've seen your body before, and it's absolutely stunning''. My cheeks were getting redder by the second as he stripped of his cloths, putting one leg in, the droplets of water  bouncing off his legs.

'What are you doi-''

''Shh, It's okay. We used to do it all the time, Jordyn''.

''I know, Aaron. But this time is- different''. He smirked as I turned my back to face him, letting the water hit my face as my eyes slowly closed.

''How is this different''. He placed his hands on my hips and my breath became unsteady.

''I don't know, it just is''. Crossing my arms across my chest, I rested my hands on my shoulders. But just as I did, me moved my hand from my left shoulder, kissing it softly. Memories of him came back. The way he touched me. The way I begged him to stopped, but truly did not want him to. I stayed silent.

''Okay, just let me know when you find out''. He wrapped my arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I could feel his dick in my back.

''Wash me?'' My voice was quiet and gentle, but I just needed his touch. Aaron nodded, grabbing and wash cloth. He drug the cloth all up and down my skin, making goose bumps arise on my skin. I could tell he was smiling. He knew how he made me feel, I did too. I just cant comprehend it.

******************************

''You look beautiful, Jordyn''. I smiled as I admired the dress on my body. He somehow knew all the perfect things for me.

''Thank you Aaron. I'm seriously really grateful''. He chuckled and looked down at his feet, trying to hide his blush. ''For real, Aaron. Saving me, bring me here. Hell, this dress. I'm just, so happy. All thanks to you ''. He smiled widely, this time taking a step closer to me. When he usually got this close, it used to scare. But this time, there's nothing to be scared of. The only demons here were my own.

''Anything for you, Jordyn''. Playfully rolling eyes, I turned on my new black heels and opened the bathroom door.

''Aaron''. I gasped as I opened the door. ''This is amazing but I cant take it-''

''Happy birthday, Jordyn''.

''You remembered?'' He nodded walking around throwing our dirty cloths in the nearest hamper.

''Ive always known Jordyn. I sent you $5,000 dollars every years. But I stopped once I found out your father had been stealing it and putting it in ha secret account only he knew about''. That explains it all.

''Aaron'', I was out of words to say, so instead I ran up and hugged him. His familiar smell filling my nose. I looked at the bed of all sort of foods and clothing from my favorite stores.

''Anything for you, Jordyn. Anything''. Pulling away I smiled up at him.

''Lunch?'' He nodded as I followed him to his garage. He get the keys to one of his many cars. I hopped in his black Range Rover and smiled. This was the fist birthday I was actually happy.

*********************************

''Something you've always wanted to do but never got the chance?''

''Uh, skydiving''. My initial reply was fast. I've always wanted to go sky diving, I was just always busy with something though.

''Hmm, interesting''. Arron tapped his chin as the waiter walk over, setting our plates in front of us. ''Haha''. He laughed as I took a big bite of my burger, pickles, lettuce, ketchup, and mustard came running down the side, dripping onto my hand. ''Man, you know how to eat''. I nodded, shoving another big bite into my mouth.

We were at a small diner called 'Nana's Grill'. I've never been, but apparently it was Aaron's favorite place and I could see why.

Minutes passed as we ate in a comfortable silence, just eating our food. I likes this feeling. Nor having to force a conversation. Everything just came naturally will us.

As I finished my food, I looked up at the small box tv mounded onto the wall, sipping on my chocolate milkshake.

''In other news, today 21 year old Nathan Maloley was shot''. I choked on my and Aaron looked at me funny, finally turning his head to see the screen. ''Nathan was shot in the gut my accident when walking around Huntertown at 1 in the morning. A witness said he was just walking by and got shot. He is now in severe condition at Parkview Hospital, doctors say his recovery is possible but the bullet is stuck in him and he had lost a lost of blood in the whole process''. My heart pounded and my mouth went dry. Nate, he's in trouble.

''Aarron take me to the hospital''.

''But Jordyn I-''

''Now, please''. Tears swelled in my eyes and Aaron, throwing a 20 on the ground and grabbed his car keys,

I just want him to be okay.
