When I Met You

Chapter 4

I walked into the house after our fight, and just burst into tears.

I know why I flew off the handle so bad. It's because of these stupid side effects having a coma gave me. I was told that I'd not want many people to know about my coma, and that I'd get angry quicker, especially if someone were to find out. It's just because it's an embarrassing thing for me to talk about. I don't know why. It's just hard to explain.

Apart of me felt terrible, but another part still felt angry.

He should have told me that he knew. Why didn't he? It hurt me so much. I wanted to tell him at my own time. When I was ready. And he already knew.

This, in a way, just made me never want to speak to him again. I'd lost all my trust that I'd had with him.

All of it. Just broken. Just like that.

It might seem like I'm over-reacting, but the humiliation and embarrassment of people knowing about this is just AWEFUL for me.

Anyways, I'm still in tears. I'm sure that I'd just lost my best friend. The first person to talk to me at school since I woke up from my coma. And the thought of that made more tears shed.

Why do I have to be so different? Why can't people just except the fact that I was in a coma and not think that I'm some demon-possessed teenager? Why did my life have to change forever?

I literally have missed two years of my life. I just wanted a friend who I could go to for anything. Yes, I do have Olivia, but she's not Aidan. He was there whenever I needed to talk, and just there when I wanted to hang out.

And then he had to turn into this person who I can no longer trust.

Why? I just want to know why?

~the next week of school

"Emma, I can totally tell that you miss Aidan", Olivia said, grabbing her sandwich.

"That boy has broken  my trust. Why would I miss someone like that?" I wish she wouldn't bring up this subject.

"Why would you just stop being friends with your best friend?" Okay, she got me on that one.

"I don't know, Olivia. It's just, everyone thinks that I'm crazy because I just woke up from a two year coma. I wasn't ready to tell him yet. He was the first friend I had here and I didn't want to lose him", I told her.

"Did you ever think that maybe he felt like you couldn't trust him either?" She asked me.

"What? He had every reason to trust me. You're making no sense." And she wasn't. I was actually getting really triggered over what she was saying. Who's side is she on here?

"Em, you and Aidan have been friends for like two months now, and you still hadn't told him. You'd think he'd of wanted you to tell him about it."

"Yeah, but I wasn't ready to tell him. Who cares if he wanted to know or not. And besides, he already knew anyways. So it doesn't even matter now."

"Then if that's how you feel, then why would you care that he knows? Why are you having this trust issue? Emma, I know for sure that he wants to be friends with you still, and I know that you do too."

"I don't know why you'd think that, Olivia."

"That boy has a special place in your heart. Girl, I know these things. I'm not stupid you know."

The next thing she said to me make my heart almost burst out of my chest.

"You like him Em. A lot. I know you do. It's really obvious actually. Admit it"

"We are friends and that's all." I could feel my face burning up into a bright red.

"Uh huh...I know you..."

Thank god the bell rang before she said anything else.

Maybe what she was saying was true. Do I like him? I don't know. All of my thoughts and feelings are so messed up. Probably another side effect of the coma. But when she was saying how much Aidan meant to me, it just felt right.

Like maybe something is supposed to happen.

And happen very soon.
