Understanding Him

The Fairground

Emily's POV

Last night Stacey stayed over after Kyle updated us. I'm happy Aidan doesn't want to throw away what friendship we do have. I smile before waking Stacey up.

"Stacey wake up its 10:30am". She groans but slowly gets up.

Her phone buzzes which makes her jump out of bed to get her phone. She starts smiling like a clown.

"Were all going to the fairground that's here today!" Stacey says excitedly while texting Kyle back.

"Wait all of us!?" I exclaim getting out of bed.

"Yes you two have to face each other one day. Plus its the weekend live a little". I nod while walking into my bathroom. My heart warms up at the fact I will see him.

I do my routine but curl my hair slightly and decide to wear some sunglasses with a leather jacket. I look bad ass. Stacey finally gets off the phone to Kyle and heads into the bathroom before shouting.

"You look gorgeous, bitch!". I laugh at her.

"Thank you!". I shout back. She chuckles and closes the door.

I finish getting ready and collect my things telling Stacey i'll be downstairs making breakfast.

I haven't seen my dad cause he just locks himself away. I make him a bacon sandwich and walk to his door. I knock, I hear shuffling of pill bottles before my dad slightly opens the door. He looks rough, red puffy eyes with bags.

"Yes sweetie" he fake smiles at me.

"I made you some breakfast". He looks down at the plate and takes it.

"Thank you sweetheart.". I smile then walk away. He closes his door quickly.

What are the pills he's taking? I think into myself as Stacey comes out of my room.

She smiles at me and I force one back because I'm worried about my dad. I don't tell Stacey because I don't want to ruin the fun day her and Kyle have planned for us.

We walk into the kitchen and eat our breakfast in silence.

"Kyle is picking us up at 2, He's borrowing his mums car. Don't worry he's a safe driver". She says getting excited. I smile too not being able to wait to see Aidan.

"Okay, I cant wait cause I used to go to this fair as a child!". Which is true before my family broke up.

"I know" she gives me a sad smile.

To pass in the time because its only 1pm we decide to catch up on our favourite TV show, Pretty Little Liars. Just as it finishes the door knocks.

Knowing who it is we pack up our stuff up. I shout up to my dad I'm going out. No reply which is weird.  We walk out and Kyle immediately pulls Stacey into a hug.

"Hey girls". I smile at him as Stacey replies taking his hand.

I feel a pair of eyes on my body. Looking up from the floor I see Aidan. My heart skips. He's wearing sunglasses. Great! He's high again.

We continue to stare at each other until he nods as some kind of greeting. I give him a small smile. He walks away to the car Stacey following him. Kyle stays back with me.

"Don't worry he's not high, I was with him all night". Says quietly to me while walking to his car.

"Thank you for telling me". I smile wildly at him. He nods back before getting in the drivers side.

I sit in the back thinking Stacey is beside me so turn to her. Shocked I turn round to see Aidan look anywhere but me. Stacey is in the front with Kyle. I'm such an idiot. I laugh into myself.
