Amanda

"What?!" I was shocked. Why did she come back? She knew how much she hurt him but she still came back. I looked at Aaron while he was looking down. I didn't know what to say to him. I tried my hardest to say something to hi but I couldn't. I coughed from the awkwardness and Aaron looked up at me. He was sitting on his bed at this point.
"I don't know what to do, when I see her it makes me think about what she did."

I tried to comfort him but he kept looking down. I didn't want to see him upset anymore. Or ever.
"Hey, don't think about it, the more you think about it the more it will hurt you." I said sitting next to him, putting my hand on his shoulder. He looked up and smiled slightly. I smiled in response.
"Well I should get going it's very late." Just when I was about to leave the room, Aaron grabbed my wrist again and pulled me back into the room.

"Aaron." I looked at him, confused.
"I can't let you go home it's 11:45 it's almost midnight. It's too late for you to be out on the streets by yourself. Stay here." I looked at him and nodded. He let go of my wrist and looked at me. He then went to his closet and got out clothes.
"Here." He said handing me a hoodie and shorts. " I'm guessing you would want something to sleep in. I'll go downstairs to get something." I took the clothes from him and I watched him leave the room. I changed into the clothes the hoodie was very big on me. I had to roll up the sleeves so I could see my hands. I laughed quietly to myself and then sat on the bed. Thinking. I didn't even notice Aaron come back into the room.

"Natalia? Are you okay?" He asked setting the glass of water down on the desk.
"Uh, y-yea I'm fine." I looked up at him and smiled. He smiled back slightly. I then started to lay down on the bed. Aaron watched me and kneeled down at my bedside. We looked at each other. We seemed to do this a lot. He caressed my cheek with his hand. He moved closer to me and whispered in my ear.
"Good night beautiful." I smiled and he went to the other side of the bed and layed down next to me.

I was facing away from him. I was thinking to myself. He called me beautiful. I was never called beautiful or looked at myself as beautiful. My hair was long brown and straight but I never really did anything to it. I would usually dress in casual clothes. I would almost always wear skinny jeans and rarely wear dresses. I had nearly non noticeable freckles in my face. My eyes were green and I didn't think much of it. I fell asleep thinking of it. I woke up the next morning with missed called, voicemails and texts from my mom. I forgot to tell her that I was staying at a friends I texted her and told her that I was at a friends and I was fine.

I got up and looked around. I saw Aaron on the bed next to me. He looked beautiful when he was sleeping. I giggled quietly to myself. I went on my phone and just looked around Instagram. After I got up and went downstairs to get some water. Aaron's mom was already downstairs making pancakes.
"Good morning." I told her while waving my hand. She knew I was here and me and his mom were pretty good friends. Her name was Hayden. She was the sweetest. I always helped her when she needed it and she did the same to me. She was like the grandma I never had. Aaron's dad was at work but would always come home early to spend time with the whole family. When he didn't come home, he would apologize. He was also a funny person and very nice. I liked them as if they were my parents.

"Good morning Natalia, how did you sleep?" She said looking up at me while I looked at her.
"I slept great how about you?"
"I slept great as well!" She smiled at me and I smiled back. I then went to the sink and started washing the dishes for her. I didn't mind helping her since she has done so much for me.
"Oh Natalia, you don't have to wash the dishes I could have done it myself."
"No it's okay, I really don't mind." She then smiled again.
"Thank you." I looked up at her and smiled.
"You're welcome!"

I finished washing the dishes when I went to the counter next to Hayden and sat down on it. She looked at me and smiled.
"Soooo, anything going on with you and Aaron?" She said smirking slightly.
"What, no I don't even like him like that." Or did I? I didn't know anymore.
"Well I see the way that you two look at each other. It's adorable." She then got close to me and whispered "To be honest with you If you guys start dating I would be really happy because he would have gotten himself a really great girl." I blushed a little and laughed. Hayden laughed as well.
"What are you guys laughing about?" I heard a husky voice coming from the door way of the kitchen.
"Oh, nothing we were talking about girly stuff. Ya know like periods and stuff like that." Aaron looked at me and Hayden wide eyed. I looked at Hayden and we started laughing. Aaron rolled his eyes and went to the table and sat down.
"Natalia you are such a funny and sweet person. You are like a daughter to me." I got off the counter and looked at Hayden. She was smiling at me and I was smiling back after that I hugged her she hugged me back. I heard the door bell and I went to open the door. When I got to the door I was shocked.
"Amanda?!?"
