Wipe the Clouds Away (bxb)

Chapter 7

Aiden and I lay-ed in bed.  He on one side and I'm on the other.  It was silent nothing but the sounds of the house settling until it was broken by Aiden.

“Hey” he called and by the way his voice sounded I could tell he was half a sleep.

“Yeah” i turned over some so I can see him.  His eyes blinked slowly as if trying to stay awake.

“What kind of accident?” I looked at him curiously trying to comprehend what he was saying then it hit me.  He was talking about my scar.  I thought when he stopped talking about it he wasn’t going to ask and more questions but I guess I was wrong.  I debated slowly trying to see if there is a way I could avoid this but no I couldn’t part of me didn’t want to.  I never had anyone to talk to before beside Christy and .  “Um it was a car accident.”  I spoke feeling awkward.

“Oh was it just you in the car?”  He asked seeming less sleepy and more intrigued in my explanation.

“N-No.”  I turned my head just in case the burning on the edge of my eyes turned into tears. “My uh… my mom was with me.”  That familiar lump in my throat felt heavy against my vocal cords.

“Oh.”  He said nonchalantly.  “Now that I think about it I've never seen-” By the look in his eyes I can see he put the pieces together.

“Tyler I'm sorry I shouldn’t-“

“No.” I said cutting him off.  “Its fine.”  He nodded his head and looked at still with sad looking eyes.  I turned over hoping he would get the message.  Then I just drifted to sleep.

*Aiden*

After what Tyler told me I couldn’t go back to sleep I hope he didn’t think I was prying into his personal life.  I looked over at Tyler when I felt the bed move.  He had turned over facing in my direction.  I fell into random thoughts as I looked over at Tyler.  It seems crazy how quickly we became friends I mean he has always been a recluse and seemed not that interested in my company.  As I continue to stare I found his messy brown hair frustrating.  It covered his face making it hard for Me to look at his expressions.  I reached over slowly and I gently moved the disheveled hair out of his face.  Then I realized what I was doing.  That was all I could remember as I feel asleep.

*Tyler*

I woke up.  The sunlight fell all around everything in my eyesight.  Including Aidens sleeping face.  It was weird seeing Aiden asleep.  Usually hes hyper active and has I different expression on his face every five minutes.

It was though to wake up and know someone was there.  Christy isn’t here, dad works and mom is gone.  It can get lonely sometimes.  I looked over aiden and notice the way his hair fell in his face so I pushed it out of the way but then I noticed a pair of brown eyes staring back at me.

“What yeah doing?”Aiden asked curiously .

“Your hair was pissing me off.”

“Oh”

I looked at Aiden and noticed he was a little to close.  As if reading my mind Aiden noticed this as well so we both were now aware in the position we were in.His arm was around my waist and our legs were intertwined with each others.

“Ahh.” We both screamed as we fell on opposite sides of the bed.

“Dude” I yelled. “What the hell?”

“What?! Me?! You're the one who had his leg around me.!”

“You’re the perverted one I shot back.”

“What does that got to do with anything , were both guys”  for some reason something flashed in the back of my mind and quickly disappeared.  After a moment we finally chilled out.  I sat down next to him with this awkward silence forming around us and I didn’t like it so grabbed the nearest pillow and playfully threw it at him.

“Dude get ready.”

“Why?”  He asked confused.

“You and I my friend are going to the mall.”  He flashed me that cheeky grin and for some reason something was pushing it way to my mind but I ignored it.

After we got ready we headed down stairs and exited the front door.

“I'm driving.” I said grabbing Aidens keys from his hand.

“Whoa hold it.  If you mess up my baby you are so dead.”

“What ever.”
