Chasing the Light

Chapter 5

It's been a few day's since me and Aiden went to that place and i feel like I'm now closer and our friendship has grown, but to what?

Me and Aiden wouldn't go well but anyway it was time to drown those thoughts away. Beautiful from Eminem plays away as I ignore everything and everyone around me. I stare at the ceiling until a ding from my phone districts from the real world. 

I sit myself up and look at my screen. My phone flashed a Facebook message displaying Aiden's name. 

I smile like a idiot and stare at the screen, but it wasn't the first time this happened.

The peace and quiet was suddenly destroyed but a shattering glass just above me. Glass shatters over me like clear rain but only more deadlier. little shards of glass cut and slice me while others loge into my skin .

"You bitch!" My mum jumps on top of me and grabs hold of my throat.

"What the fuck?" i yell as i struggle to get her off of me. Her breathe reaked of gin and whiskey.

"You did this! You made things like this!" My mother had mental issues and sometimes couldn't control it, but it only happens when she drinks.

"Get off me!" this always happened and sometimes the only way to make her stop was to wait and hide or knock her out.

I grab the lamp from my beside table and follow through it into her head. She falls to the ground limp and out cold. I take a sigh and place her onto my bed for the night, I always hated doing this. It killed me to know i hurt my own mother as much as i do. My mother avoided me ever since my dad was taken ton prison, my mother loved playing perfect household when he was free. i never did.

I quietly grab my phone and exit my room.

I go sit out in the couch, while my phone buzzes.

Aiden: hey

Me: hey

Aiden: Wanna meet up? :)

I smile at the text, it might be what i need right now.

Me: Where? :) 

Aiden: Your spot, in 10. cya there. 

I smile and quickly jump to my feet. I run to my room and remain quiet. I go through my wardrobe and grab out black skinny jeans, my favorite fluffy, grey jumper with a black heart on it, a simple tank top and my grey cans.

I quickly change in my mothers room and i quickly glance and her bed and see her grey fluffy beanie and grab it just in case. 

I grab my keys, phone and purse and leave the house, knowing my mum was sleeping silently in my room.

As i drive to my spot, a million thoughts go through my head and a billion feelings make my body quiver and sends chills everywhere. I feel sick like intense butterflies . I focus on driving and ignore it all. 

I arrive at my spot, a black jeep was already parked with Aiden waiting at his car. He was waiting though? What made my fears worse, he had a cheeky grin plastered on his face.

I park next to him and take a deep breathe to try and ease my nerves. 

"We are just friends." I repeat to myself over and over again.

I open my door and step out, the cold crisp air was the first thing i felt touch my skin, maybe my jumper was fluffy but it sucked at keeping me warm, why did i pick it again?

"Hey." Aiden walked around my car and stood next to me.

I quickly grab the beanie and put it on.
