Emily's POV ...Kyle at the top
As I enter hells gates..uh I mean the school gates I see my best friend yet again talking to Kyle.
Don't get me wrong I'm happy for her but I need her while my parents are going through the divorce.
I sigh walking up to her knowing I'm going to get pity from them because of my tear stained face and the bags under my eyes.
Stacey runs over to me and hugs me.
"Omg I'm sorry to hear about your parents. How is your dad doing?".
I get annoyed because when she asks me that Kyle decides to walk over and nosey into my business.
"I'm going on into school stacey. I will talk to you at lunch alone!" I say while glancing at Kyle with an annoyed look.
He puts his hands up in surrender and yet again grinning at me like an idiot.
"Okay i'll talk to you more when were alone, see you at lunch Em" she says with an apologetic look on her face mixed with pity!.
I hate people pitying me but I nod and walk away.
Before I enter school I hear the roar of the engine that I have come to know. Aidan is back again.
I glance at him from the entrance while he gets off his motorcycle. He catches my eye while I examine his face.
A cut with stitches above his left eyebrow. A busted lip and a black eye.
Yet he still looks handsome. He glares at me then that's when I decide its time for me to get to class.
Stacey kept trying to talk to me during classes but I wasn't in the mood to talk which she respected.
Lunch time came around finally and I was alone with Stacey.
"So hows your dad?". I get sad thinking about him.
"He's not doing so good". I say with sadness lacing my voice.
Ever since I came back from my walk late last night he's been locked up in his room, crying and hasn't came out since.
"I feel so bad for him, I hope things settle soon but how are you!?".
I never expected her to ask me how I was but I answered truthfully.
"I feel like shit. My mum isn't around because she's too busy with her new boyfriend and my dad is locked up in his room. So not good at all but i'll be fine."
I fake a smile to make her believe me and she did.
"Well what I was trying to tell you earlier was that Kyle is sitting with us again and he's inviting Aidan".
Holy shit I'm in no mood for him right now but I cant help but feel a little happier he's gonna be close to me. I smile
"Yeah that's no problem". She smiles back.
"Okay good cause they're here!" Wow she's too excited right now for me to handle. I put on a blank face as they both sat down.
Kyle and Stacey haven't stopped talking and I haven't looked up from my food I'm picking at because I don't have a appetite right now.
"Stacey I want to ask you something right now". Kyle says loudly so me and Aidan can hear too.
Me being shocked I look over at them. Aidan does too. Stacey smiles like an idiot.
"Will you please go on a date with me cause I really like you!?"
Fucking hell I say into myself. "Of course yes!" She says while giving a toothy smile.
How is her face not sore from all the smiling.
"Congratulations to the both of you" I say while trying to hold down the puke building up in my throat.
Aidan laughs at my discomfort. I stick up my middle finger to him cause I'm in no mood to be laughed at.
Aidan noticeably gets angry and storms off while making the most noise possible. Karma is a bitch. I laugh into myself.
Stacey and Kyle kept questioning me on why Aidan left the table and I just kept saying I don't know.
They didn't know I stuck the middle finger up to him because they were to busy planning their date.
When I returned home things still weren't right. My dad was up washed,freshly shaved and nicely dressed.
"What's happening dad!?" I ask confused. He turns to face me.
"Hey sweetie your mum is coming over to pick up a few stuff". He smiles me which is clearly fake.
"Okay i'll stay down until she goes". I knew my dad wanted to pretend like everything was fine. He gratefully smiled at me.
My mum arrived 10 minutes later with her new boyfriend, Derek. He looks loaded so that's why my mum is with him.
I laugh into myself. I cant stand what she's done to this family.
"Hi love, how are you and hows school going!?". My mum asks me. I know she doesn't care she's just trying to break the ice.
I fake a smile "yeah things are going really well". She smiles back at me before disappearing to get her essentials.
Derek walks in grinning. I want to punch him but I saw my dad getting wound up so I walked over to him and grabbed his arm.
"Don't let him get to you" I say quietly to him. He smiles down at me and nods. He continues to glare at Derek.
My mum finishes packing some stuff and comes down the stairs asking Derek to help her.
Derek being the dickhead, uh I mean gentleman he is obviously helps her.
Before my mum left she grabbed me and pulled me into a hug like she was saying goodbye.
" I am going to see you right mum!?". She looked at me with sad eyes before glancing at my dad.
She just walked away and got in Derek's car. I shed a tear.
" Why wont I see her dad!?". I question.
He sighs. "I'll explain soon!".
Not being able to take it and wanting away I walk to the lake again. Its already dark so I cant stay long.
I approach the lake and notice a figure sitting on the grass. I realise its Aidan. Of course it is.
I sigh and he turned with his bruised up face. What he did and said next confused me and shocked me.
"Come over, join me". He turns back to the lake. Wtf?.
Do I sit beside him and risk getting close to him or leave?.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Let me know what you think. Thank you Lx
