Understanding Him

Concerned about him?

Emily's POV....Stacey at the top

Waking up I was surprisingly in good mood despite my alarm clock making that horrible screeching noise.

I get up out of bed and go do my normal routine. When I get out I dry my body,pick an outfit and dry my hair quickly.

Today I'm wearing black skinny jeans, white top with black writing saying sarcasm is life. On top of that a black leather jacket. White converse to mix it up a bit.

I grab all my stuff and head down to have breakfast. I only see my dad at the table. Weird. I walk over to the fridge and pour some orange juice.

" Morning dad, wheres mum!?". I say as I sit down and grab a piece of bacon to munch on. He smiles at me but I could tell something wasn't right.

"She flew out on a business trip as one of her lawyer friends needs help with a case". He gets up to clean the plates and I check the time.

"Okay i'll see you later, bye!". I shout while I leave the house.

While walking my phone buzzed. I pull out my phone to see stacey messaged me.

From best bitch: I have so much to tell you, see you at school x

Knowing what its about I say

To bestest bitch: okay no problem, see you there!.

I get to the bus stop and realise I haven't seen Aidan walking or on his motorcycle. Things are weird today.

I finally arrive in hell and see Stacey talking to none other than Kyle. Their too caught up in their conversation to notice me so I cough.

Kyle looks at me and grins. Wish he would stop doing that, its annoying!. He stares back at Stacey.

"I'll see you later Stacey". Then winks at her before walking away.

I snap my fingers in front of her face to bring her down from cloud nine. She smiles brightly at.

"What does he mean by see you later exactly!?". I ask with a confused look. Somehow her smile gets bigger. Don't know hows that's possible but she done it.

"He's sitting at our table at lunch". Still in cloud nine. I smile too thinking maybe if Kyle is sitting with us then maybe Aidan will too.

"Aidan wont be though he got into a small accident". She says with a small smile and just walks off in dream world.

I begin to panic, Is he okay? Is he badly injured? What happened? All these questions I had run through my head. I got really concerned.

I cant get close to him at all, It will only bring mayhem into my life and I don't need that. I shrug off the feeling and walk to class.

So much for shaking off that feeling, Its lunch now and I haven't stopped thinking about him.

Kyle is at our table but he's too busy talking to Stacey to notice my concern for Aidan. I finally get the guts to ask

" Is Aidan okay!?". Kyle grins at me yet again.

" Yeah nothing major just a few scratches". I sigh in relief.

He notices and grins even more. I glare at him.

"That's good, glad to hear he's okay". Stacey nods in agreement and before i know it I'm walking off to class with a weight lifted off my chest.

I enter my house and its deadly quiet. I check the kitchen no one is there. Then I hear muffled cries.

What is happening?. I walk into the living room to see my dad sobbing his heart out.

" Dad are you okay, what happened?". I stand close to the door not knowing how to comfort people.

My dad finally looked up at my with tears streaming down his face.

"Me and your mum have ended our marriage. She's been cheating on me with one of her work colleagues".

My heart breaks for him but I'm so angry at my mum, how could she do this to him, me, the family.

"What's going to happen now?". I asked slight annoyance in my voice because of my mother.

"She's moving out next week so she will be in and out of the house collecting her stuff and moving two hours away to her boyfriends place". He says with anger, clearly jealous of the new boyfriend.Which I Understand.

My whole family is splitting up, I exit the living room wanting to get away from everything. I decide to go on a walk to clear my head. I really need someone right now so I text Stacey.

To bestest bitch: I have some bad news and need you right now. Message me as soon as you get this.

I send the messages hoping she messages me back soon.

I walk past this park and see a happy family playing with their toddler. Both parents had love in their eyes for each other.

I sigh wishing my family could be like that and wishing I could also have that one day but immediately push that thought out of head cause I only get hurt.

20 minutes later I found another park with a beautiful lake and it was around 6pm so it was starting to get dark which made the lake more beautiful. My phone buzzes

From best bitch: what happened!?, sorry I was on the phone with Kyle. X

I sigh knowing she was talking to him.

To bestest bitch: My parents are getting a divorce. My mum was cheating on my dad with on her colleagues.

I sent the message and nearly started crying but pushed them back because I don't cry, well I don't like too.

From best bitch: Omg I'm so sorry to hear that. We will talk about it more tomorrow. See you then X

I sigh not replying knowing she's probably busy with Kyle.

I stay beside that lake for a few more hours, Its fully dark now. I check my phone and its 8:45pm.

I decide to get up and make my way home when I notice and familiar face at the other end of the lake with his face beat up. Aidan.

My heart jumps when I notice he's staring right at me. Has he been there all night?.

Walk off to the direction of my house and feel someone walking a distance behind me. I turn around and see Aidan following me with no emotion on his face.

I continue walking until I'm at my front door. I walk into my living room to see Aidan walking past my house and into the street he lives in.

Weird. Was he following me and if so why!?.
