The sign of happiness

Chapter 2

                              Above is Aiden
Aiden!! Of all the people it had to be Aiden. Dear lord help me. The guy that was holding me down, is now on the floor knocked out. I stare at Aiden speechless. "Are you okay?" He said and for a moment I thought I saw concern in his eyes." Yeah" I say nearly shaking to death." Come, let me take you home"he said as he held his hand out. At first I hesitated but then I gave in.

I got in the passenger side while he got in the drivers side. " where are we going?" He said as he turned on the engine."ummmm............1245 hillside road"I say still shocked at what happened. The car ride was silent but it was a comforting silence.

We pull up to my house and I could see the lights on. Great, just great! Mom is going to kill me. As I think of my horrifying consequence, for being late,Aiden brought me out of my thoughts. " hey are you okay? Do you wanna chill at my place?" I look at him and I simply nod my head no." Why are you crying then?"I looked at him shocked. I have been so deep in thought that I hadn't realized I was crying." Can I actually have you drive me somewhere else?"I said wiping the tears that some how escaped." Of course. Where to?"he say starting the engine again." 5478 Bruno avenue" I say looking out the window.

We eventually pulled up to Jessica's house. I take off my seat belt, then my heart races because the most beautiful eyes ever are staring right at me. My eyes meet his, and then he leans in but before our lips could touch, my phone rings. I take out my phone and look at the collar ID and it said .......Mom.
I ignore the call" thank you for everything"I say opening the door, but I was held back when a hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me back into the car. Our eyes made contact again " what is your name?"he asked as he let my hand go." Let's keep at in secret" I simply say and walk out of the car and towards Jessica's door. I knock on it 3 times then looked back to see him smirking at me, amused. The door opened and I was met with concerned eyes. I took one more glance back and went inside."what happened?! What's wrong?!who was that?!" Jessica was exploding questions at me." Calm down Jessica! Come sit down and I'll explain everything!"we went to the couch and sat down. Jessica sat down waiting for my explanation.

"Ok I came here because I didn't want to get in trouble with my mom ,you know how she is ,and the person who dropped me off was..... Aiden!" I looked at her waiting for her reaction, then out of nowhere she screams."Ahhhhhhhhhhh you have to tell me everything ,like right now!" She jumped in excitement and pulled me up stairs and into her room.

I told her everything from the pervert to Aiden saving me life to driving me here." You guys almost KISSED!!" I look at her with disappointed eyes because I was disappointed. I'm not suppose to fall for him 1 because he is a player and 2 because I am suppose to focus on my grades. " do you have any clothes I can wear to sleep?" I say as I yawn." Of course! Ummmmm...... here!" She throws me a pair of shorts and a tank top. I go to her bathroom and change, when I come out I see Jessica already asleep and I giggle at her. I crawl in her bed and stare at the ceiling, deep in thought.

I need  to stay way from Aiden he is just a distraction and it will not help me get into college! I need to stay distant.

The next day
"Christina wake up! Come on we have to get to school or we'll be late!" Jessica shakes me vigorously."what time is it? I don't want to get up!"I say groaning." It's 7:00 you only have 30 minutes to get ready!"I shoot up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. When I was done I realized I didn't have any clothes so I wrapped myself in a towel and I went into the room to ask Jessica for some clothes."Jessica do you have any clothes I can borrow for today?mine are dirty" I say trying to hide my body. I am very insecure about myself, many people tell me I'm pretty and everything but I think the opposite."of course just go to the closet and pick up anything you'd like!"she says pointing to her closet in the far right corner of her room."thanks Jessica!". I walk into the closet and I pick out some black ripped jeans and a minty green T-shirt that says "free my Gypsy soul" and my Adidas. I grab my school bag and walk downstairs where I see Jessica having for breakfast."hey there's some cereal if you want to eat" Jessica says as she puts another spoon of cereal in her mouth." Ummmm no thank you do you have any granola bars?"I say not trying to be rude."yeah there's some in the cupboard".
