Song- Baby Don't Cut by B-Mike

Clara.

I was everywhere, looking for Aiden.

I called Shyla, Mike and Paul to help me look for him.

"Damn," said Mike, cutting his phone for the 10th time. "he ain't answering his phone!"

"I hope he doesn't do something stupid." said Paul.

"I hope so too." said Shyla.

I was too sick with worry to even talk.

"Did you check his house?" asked Paul.

I shook my head, the tears falling on my face.

Paul pulled me into a hug.

"Sh, sh. It's gonna be okay." said Mike.

"It's my fault. I yelled at him, now he's gonna leave me forever and..."

I sobbed even harder and just then I felt a sharp pain on my hand.

I was becoming more worried.

I said a quick prayer.

"I'm sure he's home just crying it out." said Shyla.

"Aiden doesn't cry." said Paul.

"That is because you met college Aiden. Elementary Aiden was a crybaby." Mike pointed out.

"We gotta find him." said Paul.

We pulled away from the hug and went to the car.

We then drove off in the direction of his house.

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

We got to his house. His car was parked in the yard.

I sighed in relief.

"See Clara?" said Shyla.

I nodded.

"Nothing to worry about." said Paul.

"I'm going inside." I said.

Using the spare key, I opened the door.

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

When I opened the door I gasped.

The house was a mess.

Aiden was a man of order, that much I knew.

I was the chaotic one.

"Aiden." I called out.

No answer.

I got this sinking feeling in my stomach.

My eyes lingered at the kitchen.

Something wasn't right...

I headed towards the kitchen.

It was empty.

Except...

I saw a red liquid on the floor.

Blood.

I knew it was blood, it had a metallic smell.

I walked in the direction of the blood, the pit in my stomach sinking deeper and deeper.

I came across Aiden. I gasped and dropped to the floor.

I remembered a night when he told me about how his mother died.

"She slit her wrist with a knife."
