Aiden's pov

Tairon Wellington was my boyfriend.

FINALLY! I just hope this won't end like the last time I had a boyfriend.

My ex-boyfriend and ex-bestfriend was named Evan Blyton. He was taller than me. He had dark black hair, brown eyes. He was leaner than my mom who is actually really thin. He had that charming smile and he was a jerk. A big, total douchebag and a dickhead. He played me. He let me fall in love with him, then made me believe he was in love too but then ignored me. Then he just asked me out and as I was a dumb and blind sixth​ grader I said yes. Then he played with my feelings. He cheated on me multiple times but still said he loved me.

His little game was going on well, I wasn't able to see through him as he manipulated me. But that's when it turned bad. He caught the feelings eventually, well at least it seemed to. So he just started to hate me. We fought a lot. I wanted to end all this.

Then at a party, the last party I went to with my brother, he danced with another boy and he was staring at me the whole time. I just couldn't stand it, cause let's face it I was still in love with him even though I tried not to be. That's when he kissed the guy and they started to make out. And I just stood there, frozen, unable to think or move or say anything. It was like my body and my mind went off. All I heard was my heart, bumping fast. Then I felt the tears coming to my eyes.

I left the city when my brother died a month later, in the chilly November. On my last day at school, I said goodbye to everyone. I wanted to say goodbye to him. He was my best friend. He hurt me but I wanted to say goodbye. That's what I did. But he just barely looked at me while our little interaction. He just shrugged and went away. That was when I knew I'd lost my best friend. I'd lost our memories, us. At home, I cried like my whole family was dead. Which was partly true. I didn't cry for Louis at his funeral, he made me promise I wouldn't. But on that moment I cried for him, for me, for Evan.

A couple of months after, I tried to make contact with Evan but each time I tried we fought. On some holidays, when we got back to Philadelphia, I saw him. And each time, it was like a pang in my heart. He was always with another boy or another girl. He usually didn't even saw me.

But there was one time. He saw. We stared at each other. It was like the time at the party. Off. But this time, I could hear me. I could hear my blood running through my veins and to my heart. I could see his eyes full of regret. He wouldn't​ have the pleasure to break me again. A part of me wanted to go to him, to hold him, to say it's okay I forgive you. But another part of me, a bigger one, said no, I should stay strong, I won't fall again. And I went away.

That was all I was thinking about on the way home, if we can call that a home..  What if Tairon was playing me? No, he couldn't.

My mother didn't say anything. Neither did my father. They stared at me for a couple of seconds, and I left to my room as mom said grounded still. She knew how to get me mad. I stopped in my track.

"I hate you. Both of you. I. HATE. YOU!!" I shouted.

They looked at me speechless.

"Maybe you want to leave then?!" Said my adorable mother.

"I'm waiting for the day, and maybe I won't have to wait any longer?"

"I won't give you that pleasure!"

"So what?!"

"Anyway, I forbid you to ever go to this boy's place again!"

"You don't make sense, this is not about him, this is about the shitty parents I have! Why do you have to put my boyfriend in this?!" I cried.

Oh, shit. I wasn't out yet. Shit! Shit, shit shit shit!

"Your what?!!!"

"Tairon is my boyfriend..." I said softer.

"So what, you're gay now?! Why are you doing exactly the opposite of what you're supposed to do!!?"

"The opposite?!"

"A boy can't like a boy! You can't like another boy! You can't have bad grades! You can't!"

"And why?!"

"Because it's like this! Boys were made to be with girls not boys! You have to have good grades, and that's it!"

"Oh, stop with the homophobic thing!"

"Aiden stop it now and I won't get you laid."

"You know what, dad's right. The day he left. I should've left just like him a long time ago. You're not someone who cares about me, you hate me, I hate you. Leaving would be the best. So, ma'am, it wasn't a pleasure to be your son. Goodbye, and I hope I won't have to see you again!"

"AIDEN​!!!!!!!"

I ran to my room. I already packed nearly everything. The only thing was my piano. I couldn't leave Louis. I stared at my piano. It's beautiful black and white keys. The little signatures that we wrote, Louis and me, years ago and all the other doodles. My room was upstairs, I couldn't bring my piano with me. But I needed to get away from this house.

I opened the window, put a foot outside. Said a last goodbye to Louis, a tear rolling down my cheek. Then went into the cold night. Leaving my memories of my golden childhood, my  broken family, some pictures, a baseball cap, my piano, and my brother.
