HERE FOR HER

CHAPTER 11-Stargazing

He jumped and sat on The bonnet. And patted the area next to him, telling me to do the same.

After seeing me try but slip down miserably, he got down, picked me up from my waist and made me sit there, effortlessly.
.
"Just don't hurt my baby." he whispered.

"Believe me, your car won't hurt me." I giggled.

"Aa..." He put on a thoughtful expression.
"yeah, both ways." he chuckled.

We laid on the bonnet together.
Wow, the stars, I never noticed how beautiful they were. I loved night rather than day.

The eerie darkness of the night is what impressed me. The pitch black curtain draped over the sky and twisted- warped shape the stars make against the darkness. The stars twirled and danced along the sky in various patterns, tugging at he corners of my lips in a way that almost made me smile. It was really hard to shove aside all the worries corrupting my mind, but eventually I stopped thinking. I looked up at the sky and studied the silver glow of the moon. It felt like the moon smiled at me with love so intense, it warmed my soul like a fireplace on a cold winter's night. And her I am, sitting under the stars with him, to escape my worries, not wanting to do anything but cry. But the look the moon gave me didn't cause the storm to go on inside of me. Instead, a fire flickered in my heart and soon started to grow, eating all of the dark emotions in its way. My worries burned away and the tears that were started to form in the corner of my eyes melted down my cold face with a rush of relief.

Crying felt good, especially when they were tears I didn't wanted to push away. They weren't drops of sadness, no. They were more like the feelings of joy, relief, happiness and freedom streaming away. I never wanted to cry in front of anyone. But it was the second time in front of him. But this night, under the protection of million of stars and the beautiful moon, I felt like I could open the floodgates. I stared at the sky. I never wanted to leave this.

I soon realised that Aiden was leaning to my side with the help of his elbow.

"I'm sorry, I thought you would like it." he whispered.

"Like it? I love it. Its... Its even more beautiful than the carnival." I closed my eyes.

"Bella." Aiden muttered.
With the help of my elbow, turned to him just like he was laying.

"Yeah." I replied.

He just smiled at me. "Nothing."

I gave him a confused look. But I returned a smile.

"What were you thinking?" he asked me.

"What?" I gave him a confused look.

"Yeah. Umm.. What made you cry?" he seemed nervous. I don't know why? I laid down on my back.

"I don't know. I.... I just felt so happy with satisfaction. Like I was just like others, like normal, making memories with parents and not giving a damn what other people think about me.." I let a tear roll down.

I felt him wipe the tear off my face. I looked him in the eye.
Wow! I never really thought I would ever find someone like him. Of course, my brothers and friends were my pillar of support. But I couldn't cry in front of them. I never want them to be worried because of me. Never. I always want them to be happy.

Aiden was probably the only guy who made me feel better. Yes.

"Hey....you dont have to be like all the others. You're so beautiful and unique, unlike all the others." He murmured.

I let out a light giggle at his words as I looked back at the sky.
"Aiden, I.. I.. think I'm gonna need a new word in place of Thank you. I already said it to you a lotta times." I smiled as the tears rolled down.

"I don't do it for you. I do it for myself. It makes me happy too." he smiled his signature smile.
He checked his phone.

"Ummm.. Its 3:45. Do you wanna go home or stay here 'with me'. I'm happy either way." he shrugged. I hit him with my elbow and he winced, dramatically.

After that we drove home. We sat in silence. Not an awkward one.

He parked the car in front of my house. I thought it was fine because my brothers were asleep.

"Home-Sweet-Home" Aiden smiled.

I was about to thank him again but he stopped me by putting his finger on mouth. He leaned in and kissed my forehead. It was such a beautiful gesture. It was so genuine

"Stay happy. You're awesome." he smiled at me. I laughed a bit at his assuring words.

"Thank you, Aiden. That meant a great deal to me." I said as a genuine smile tucked at the corner of my lips.

He smiled at me and I stepped out of the car and waved at him. I got into my place, without making any noise.

I went into my room and changed my clothes. That was when I noticed that there was a note in my pocket. I guessed it was from Aiden. He did that. But when had he slid it into my pocket? I unfolded it and started to read.

May the princess sleep well.
Aiden.

I smiled at the simply cute message. And placed it in the drawer.
I threw myself on my bed. I had three hours to sleep.
What a day!! No.. What a night❗

---------------------

I woke up, my eyes were hurting so badly. I wanted to sleep more. But my enemy-the alarm clock woke me up.
I slowly slipped my legs to the side of my bed. And stretched. It felt good. I did my morning rituals, got dressed and walked downstairs. Even after taking a bath, I was still feeling sleepy.

I got into the kitchen, everyone was up. I sat on the table and put my head down and closed my eyes.

"Still feeling sleepy?" Ethan asked.

I slowly nodded.

"Did you not sleep well? " Mason questioned.

"I was running a marathon in my sleep. Therefore, I'm tired." I mumbled.

I heard muffled laughter. I looked up and everyone stopped, pretending they were busy in their work.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I slowly took it out. There was a message from Aiden.
.
.
Too tired???
.
.
Of course I was tired as hell.

I lazily typed.
.
.
Very.
.
.
Then I thought, will he be coming to school?
I typed another message.
.
.
You coming to school???
.

There was a quick reply.
.
.
I am.
.
.
I was happy to hear that. I placed my phone back into my pocket and closed my eyes again.

"Who was that?" Max asked.
I looked up and gave him a confused look.
"The one you were messaging." he explained.

"Oh... It.. It was Anna. Who else?" I muttered.
He raised an eyebrow but dropped the topic. I sighed.

God! I was becoming a liar now. I'm so going to hell!

After eating my cereals, we departed to my school.
