Starlight Wonderland!

I love you; Chapter 7

( A/N; Sorry I haven't updated this story in a while. I'm on vacation currently and I've been hooked on some other fan fictions that took me a while to read and I never had access to a laptop. My P.C. hates me and Wattpad doesn't work on it. )

Aaron's P.O.V;

Mom was changing Aphmau's clothes while I waited outside our bedroom. Dad came in surprised, he was panicked and asked me for an explanation.

"Maria pushed Aphmau off the dock where they were sitting." I said, dad opened his mouth to talk but I interrupted guessing his question, "Aphmau can't swim, Sylvanna couldn't afford to pay for her lessons after her dad left."

Dad looked guilty and troubled, "Ah.." He was at a loss for words now and just stood there.

I stumbled over to the couch, still very shook, waiting for mom which seemed to take eternities. Only two minutes later did she exit the room, using her hands to signal me into our room.

No one's P.O.V;

Aaron got up and headed over to Aphmau and his' room, while Rachel walked past him to Derek and held his shoulder. Aaron peered into the room through the open doorway, seeing Aphmau cuddled up with a pillow, her violet and deep purple pajamas now on her body, her hair still slightly wet. Aaron, ( who still hadn't gotten dry yet ) picked up a damp towel off the ground, removing his wet purple jacket and draping the towel over his shoulders.

"Hey.." Aaron said.

Aphmau didn't seem to have noticed him until now and jumped a little when Aaron spoke.

"O- oh.. Hey.." Aphmau replied, her voice a bit raspy. Her lungs still getting used to the oxygen that she lost only for a couple of seconds.

"How are you feeling?" Aaron asked, concerned now. ( Not that he was never concerned. )

"If I said good, would you get mad at me for lying?" Aphmau responded, her expression fading a bit.

"Aphmau.." Aaron's face laced with worry and sorrow.

Aaron marched over to her, his shorts and chest still wet. He tightened her in a warm embrace, a tear sliding down his cheek. Aphmau's eyes already filled with tears. She didn't let go, and Aaron didn't want her to let go..

Lucinda, Kim, Zane, and Garroth were at the door to Aphmau and Aaron's bedroom silently watching but quickly leaving. Neither of them noticed, and even if they did they probably wouldn't have cared much.

Aphmau's P.O.V;

Aaron had pulled me into a kiss, his warm lips clashing with my cold. He pulled away from the kiss, caressing my cheek and brushing a tear away.

"Do you know how much I love you?" Aaron asked.

I felt a bit confused, "I guess I never really stopped to think about it."

"I love you more than anyone or anything in the world. I love you more than even my own parents. I love you more than my sibling. I love you more than an animal I've ever owned." Aaron stared into my eyes.

"I can't quite compare to something like that in words.. however.. I do know that I love you just as much.. I love you to the moon and back and even more.. If my love for you could be measured, it'd never end." I stared back at him, tears still visible in his eyes and mine as well.

"I love you." We said in unison.
