Miracle

(13) It was you

Waking up after yesterday was pretty simple, I just wanted to get started and enjoy what I now had with Aaron. I told him to put a label on it, but, am I ready for a label on it?

Am I ready to show him who I really am? I mean, it has been a month since we became friends. Time flies when you are having fun. Right?

I quickly showered and got dressed. Aaron now is coming to pick me up here at the house so I don't have to walk.

Today was also the day I talk to my lawyer about my mom.

She told me that everything might not go my way. But, she also told me that she will try her damnedest to get the kids for me. Nothing hit me more than the thought of these kids getting put into foster homes and me never really getting to see them again. But there was this part in me that thought maybe that would be better for them on their part.

I shook that thought out of my head and grabbed my bags for school. After getting the kids onto the bus safely I waited for Aaron to get here.

Right as the clock hit 8:00 he pulled up to the house. When I got into the truck he looked miserable. His brown eyes weren't as shiny as they usually are on a normal day. He had bags under his eyes making it look as if he hasn't slept in weeks.

"What's wrong?" I asked slipping on my seatbelt. He shrugged his shoulders before leaning closer to me and giving me a nice warm kiss on my forehead. I took that as he wasn't mad or upset with me he just wasn't in a  good mood.

He put the truck and drive and started towards the school. One arm was rested against the door with his head laying in his hand. The other gripped the steering wheel as we rode down the road. "I put a label on it. Just so you know" he murmured looking at me from the corner of his eye.

I pulled my feet up so I was sitting Indian style and kind of turned towards him, "and what shall that label be?"

He chuckled slightly lifting the bad mood off of his skin, "That you Miracle are mine and only mine, and if anyone dares to touch you I will kill someone."

The smile stayed on my face as I said, "So does that like make me your girlfriend or whatever?"

Aaron let his head fall back with laughter, "no that means you're my sister"

"Ew that's weird. I'm not your sister."

"I agree. You are NOT my sister"

He pulled the truck into the schools parking lot and there we sat in silence. "We should get out"

Aaron shook his head in a disagreeing manner, "no. Because I want you to come over here and cuddle me for a couple of seconds. Now that we can do stuff like that, I wanna make the best out of it"

I took my seatbelt off of my body and climbed over towards him. I let my head fall on his shoulder and wrapped my small arms around him as much as I could.

"You know. I really like this this right here is what I live for. I wanted this feeling for so long and now I finally have it again" he took in a deep breath and rested his chin on my head. But something caught my attention.

Again...

What did he mean by again? Was I just something to cover up that he was still in his bad ways?

"I don't mean to make this really heart warming moment into something not so heart warming. But, what do you mean by again?"

Aaron tensed up as I said the word 'again'. I just needed to know I wasn't just one of them girls that had slept with him. Being the schools treasures girlfriend comes with jumping to conclusions.

"I was meaning feeling this comfort and security. The way I am around you makes me feel safe, like nothing bad could ever happen. I meant that by my mother. I've been missing something in my life, and as sad as it is to say this, but it's not my mom I was missing." I pulled away from him and looked him straight in his face.

"It was you"

Throughout the day I did the various things. Like, sleep, eat, and skip. Nothing to me right now was interesting and important. I'm gonna pass and I know that, but, I can't skip school because of stupid idiotic rules.

As the end of the day neared I had one thought on my mind. I wanted to let Aaron in. I wanted to actually let him into my hectic life. Maybe me telling him about my mom will make me feel better, maybe knowing someone is actually there.

I finished with my last period class and hurried towards my locker. I looked around the hall and spotted Mr. Perfect himself walking towards me. I quickly acted as if I didn't know he was there and played it cool.

I didn't wanna be that type of girlfriend that needed his boyfriends attention. But sometimes I feel like maybe I should become that kind of girlfriend. It wouldn't hurt anything.

"Hey good lookin" Aaron smiled wrapping his arms around me. I looked down at his arms around my petite waist and smiled.

I've gained weight and I actually fit into my jeans. Aaron has made that one of his goals, to make me gain weight so I'm healthy. I didn't argue because I knew it needed done. In all honesty I hated being sickly skinny. I like having a little meat on my bones.

"You ready?" He asked again but moving to the side this time. I felt a pair of eyes on me and it made me slightly uncomfortable. I turned towards the directions the feeling was coming from and their wasn't anyone there.

I shook that thought out if my head and continued to place my books into my locker. My brain is just acting silly.

So I thought...
