so we walked hand in hand back home. not a single word being said and i was okay with this because we do it so often. its not like its and awkward silence, though you might think that, its just us embracing us being together. but then i felt his hand soften and eventually let go when we got to the fork in the road where he goes right and i go left.
"you know, you can come over if you want..." i somehow managed to choke out.
"i have to start packing," he said with a broken smile.
"but you have thirty days !" i practically cried out.
"the sooner i pack the better."
"how is it better?"
"because then i can spend more time with you," he pulls me into a hug and lifts me off the ground while i throw my head back and laugh as i tell him to put me down.
"so what do you say?"
"what do i say about what?"
"help me pack, duh."
"yeah i guess," i chuckle and he winds our fingers together again and i rest my head on his shoulder and we both go right.
*at Aaron's house*
we were at the front door. the same front door i've seen everyday for so long that i'll soon have to forget. i could feel my eyes watering and i guess aaron could too because right before going in he looked at me and asked if i was okay and i gave him a weak smile signaling that i'm a little broken but i'll survive. before we even get to knock aaron's mom ms. gonzales swings the door wide open. "Ariel so good to see you!" she greets me as always.
"hey ms. gonzales, how are you?" i reply back with a smile i imagine looking as fake as barbie doll.
"sweety please, you make me feel so old. call me jackie." she smiled happily but then frowned when she realized all i was paying attention to were the empty boxes labeled 'kitchen' and 'aaron' and so on.
"i'm sorry ari, its hurts all of us. aaron mostly." she said with the most sincere look on her face.
"its okay. its not like you can control your work right?" a tear slowly streaming down my cheek like its still choosing whether to fall or not.
"mom, ariel's gonna help me pack some stuff then we're gonna head over to the movies." aaron broke the silence of the room then put his hand on the small of my back guiding me to his room even though i could navigate myself there in the dark. "sorry for that, i know my mom can be pretty-"
"no i love your mom. and you should to. she's not gonna be here with you forever, ya' know." i contrast. he knows i hate it when he says stuff like that about his mom. he should be lucky she's here with him. my mom died when i was five. she was my only friend, until i met aaron. my dad and i don't really talk. he goes out of town a lot for business especially after mom died, so it's sort of like i live alone.
"Heeeellooooo? earth to ariel. or should i say sea?" aaron's awakes me from my thoughts.
"haha you're not funny." i reply. "so what do you wanna pack first?" i sighed drastically.
"how about you?" he says right after putting a box on my head and tackling me onto his bed.
"AARON! what was that for?!"
"i got bored." he shrugged.
"im serious. if you want to go to the movies you need to hurry."
"okay, okay. fine gosh." he puts his hands up in defeat. "buzzkill."
"i heard that."
*at the movies*
"so what movie do we watch?" he scans the list of movies playing right now. the lobby's almost empty which i find surprising since its friday night, but then i look at the list as well and realize its empty because all the movies are about to end. "either frozen or ride along"
"ugh! you make the easiest things so difficult!" i whine like a little baby and aaron smirks feeling satisfied by my reaction which i realized was to loud so everyone was now staring at me fro a brief moment.
"well, we could watch frozen first then sneak into ride along afterwards." he offers like he's a professional at sneaking in to places.
"fine. breaking the law it is."
