Yes or no?

I immediately looked down after he asked that. This couldn't be happening could it. I wanted to say yes but at the same time I didn't know what to think. I felt as though if I was in a relationship with him, it would make me stop thinking about all the bad stuff in this world, I also did really like him but was I ready to be in a relationship with him? Was he ready to be in a relationship again? What if it doesn't work out? I didn't know anymore. I looked at Aaron. While he was looking down. Still surprised but didn't know how he felt. I think I have my answer now.

"Aaron..." he looked up. I suddenly felt really awkward. I looked into his blue eyes. They had navy blue shading them. They were like sapphires. Beautiful.

"Aaron..I-" before I could say anything, I was enveloped into a hug. His warm embrace was calming and made me feel better. He really did know how to make me feel better.
"Yes." I whispered into his ear. That's all I could say. He hugged me a little tighter, making me both gasp for air and feel safe. He puled back and looked at me. I got closer to him and kissed his cheek. To this he smiled. I smiled back. I'm pretty sure I was blushing bright red that I looked like a garden nome that was over painted with red. His blue eyes sparkled as he looked at me. His dark hair was messy. Which made him so much hotter in my opinion. He bit his lower lip and it took everything in me not to kiss him. I finally looked at the water. It was awkward because me and Aaron had never felt this way about each other. At least I don't think.

Aaron's POV
When she whispered in my ear. I felt relieved and a little awkward. I hugged her for comfort and because I was happy. I pulled away after a while and just looked at her. Her green eyes were like emeralds. Her brown hair was in a pony tail so I could clearly see her face. The moonlight hit her face in such a way that made her look like a goddess. She simply was perfect. I really did like her a lot. I was glad she had said yes. She kissed my cheek which made me smile and start blushing. Something I don't do much. Her smile was beautiful. She was beautiful. I wasn't sure if I was ready to be in a relationship again but I wanted to try at least.

She looked at the sparkling water. She was feeling awkward that I could tell.

Natalia's POV
"Natalia...I think it's time we head home now." I heard Aaron say. I looked at him. I nodded and smiled. He grabbed my hand. Our fingers intertwined as we walked out of the revine and went home. I had called my mom and told her I was staying at a friends house. Me and Aaron went to his house. We were talking as if we were best friends, which we were, the whole time. We were greeted with a warm smile from Hayden.

"Ah, Aaron there you are. I was getting worried." She hugged Aaron and was surprised when she saw me standing behind Aaron.
"Oh, Natalia hello" She smiled at me. "You were with Aaron?" I nodded. She smiled even wider when I said that.
"Mom, I want to tell you something." He looked back at me. I smiled at him, and nodded.

"Is everything okay?" Hayden was worried.
"Everything is okay mom." Aaron took Hayden to the living room and told her that we were now going out. I knew he had told her because Hayden had come running back to the doorway and hugged me.
"Aha! Natalia you are the best." Is all she said I hugged her back. I smiled. Aaron was happy I could tell.
"Oh, Aaron you have just made me the happiest mom in the world. We have to celebrate. I'll make cookies!" And with that she had already left to the kitchen. I laughed as I watched her get the ingredients she needed to make the cookies.

"You're mom is really the best. She's so nice." Before I could react, Aaron had pulled me into a hug.
"Thank you for making my mother so happy. You're amazing." I have never been hugged so much. I liked it.

Without saying a word Aaron had grabbed my hand and taken me to his room. We both sat on the bed facing the T.V. In his room. I was still wondering if my brother was okay but I tried not to cry. I had totally forgot to tell my mom that he was in the hospital. I excused myself from Aaron and went to the bathroom. I called my mom and I had to tell her. Telling her was the hardest thing I've had to do. My mom started crying and I tried my hardest not to cry. I ended the call and I couldn't hold back the tears. I was against the door and I fell to the ground crying. Even after an amazing night I can't keep my mind off of my brother. I looked at myself in the mirror.

"Come on Natalia, pull yourself together. You can't just cry all the time. You have to do something." I whispered to myself. All though it wasn't really a whisper. I heard a knock on the door.
"Natalia, are you okay? You've been in there for a while." I quickly wiped away the tears. And fixed my makeup as best I could. I opened the door revealing Aaron. I smiled. In less than a second I was up against a wall Aaron in front of me. I was confused at first but then felt Aaron's lips on mine. His hands were my waist. I was surprised. I put my hand around his neck. I didn't hear Hayden come up the stairs until I heard a cough. We both pulled back and looked at Hayden. She looked at both of us before speaking.

"Ah you guys are so cute!" I thought she would be mad, but I was so relieved when she said that. I smiled and put my head on Aaron's shoulder, my hands still on his neck.

"Well I came here to tell you that the cookies are done, but I guess you guys don't need to eat cookies do ya?" She winked at Aaron.
"Moom!" I laughed. We then went downstairs to eat cookies. Honestly Hayden's baking skilled was great. We heard a knock on the door. Aaron and I went to see who I was. We opened the door to be shocked by the person standing in the doorway.

"Derrick."
