Aphmau: Pheonix Drop High School

Defeated

_=+Aphmau's POV+=_

I-I'm going to have to go through with this to keep both Aaron and Laurance safe. I don't even know if any of them are safe. I wish Liana would just go back to being my best friend. I missed her but now, I don't.

I'm approaching Aaron who I can't seem to hide anything from, it's like he has wolf senses.
"Aphmau?" He says, I'm trying to not make eye contact.
"I'm seeing Tom!" I blurt out. Almost immediately Aaron knows something's up.
"Ok?" He says in reply. PLEASE Aaron figure this out fast!
Tom approaches Aaron and I. He puts his arm around me and pinches my shoulder when I look down.
"Has Aphmau told you the news?" Tom asks with a grin on his face.
"Yeah... she did." Aaron replies carefully.
"Great!" Tom says. "Come on Aphmau, lets go." He yanks my arm to pull me along.
"Hey, Tom! Careful!" Aaron exclaims when he see's what he did.
"Oh right, of course." Tom replies.

_=+Tom's POV+=_

Aaron can't figure this out soon! I made it to obvious, oh dear. If I fail, Liana will release what she has on me... THAT CAN'T HAPPEN! The valentines dance is soon, maybe I could rig it so I get the votes and Aphmau. No, that would bring attention to ourselves. Hmm, I could get Liana to make a scene again... Oh god, I need help. But who can I trust? No one knows me... Aphmau thinks I'm still the same old Tom. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed it for the first ten minutes now it's just not right. I thought this would be easy, it's not. I could tell Aphmau but that would make it to easy for Liana to find out...
I'm going to tell Aphmau soon.

"Aphmau?" I say and she's still looking down.
"What?!" She says in anger. I can't blame her, I feel SO guilty.
"I'm sorry." I say quietly. "Can we go to a room quickly?"
She looks up in confusion, "sure."

We walk into a room which isn't being used and go to the back where there isn't any windows.
"What did you want to say?!" She says, I can hear the anger without even looking at her facial expression.
"I'm sorry."
"Stop saying sorry! You're not sorry else why would you start this?!"
"As Liana made me."
"A person can't make you do something , Tom."
"Liana has something on my dad." She looks up at me.
"How do I know you're not lying?" She replies.
"Because I'll tell you what she has on me." I then continue on to tell her.
"What has this got to do with me?!"
"I-I don't know."
"I'll help you, no more REALLY hurting me though."
"Thank you Aphmau! Really!"
