More Than Friends (Aarmau Fanfiction)[Completed]

Chapter 4|A Confession

Should I stay with Aaron...or should I go home? I look up at Aaron.
"Um...I think I want to stay with you I'm really scared after what happened. I wouldn't feel safe at home..." I say. He looks at me.

"Okay. You should probably tell them. I hope they don't get mad at me." He looks at me with unsure eyes. "Or Katelyn might just kill you then murder me but that's okay." He smiles. A slight smile comes across my face.

I pull out my phone, and text Katelyn. She's like my mom, she'll probably freak out when I text her saying I was assulted and then she'll kill Aaron.

Aph-Hey Katelyn

Kate-Hey aph is everything okay?

Aph-yeah I just wanted you to know I'm staying with Aaron tonight. Something happened at the restaurant and I'm too scared to just stay home.

Kate-what happened?

Aph-I'll have to tell you tomorrow it's a lot to explain right now.

Kate-Okay. Just make sure you tell me like first thing in the morning. And by the sounds of what happened I'm worried about you so just stay with Aaron.

Aph-I will.

Aaron looks at me. "Is she going to kill me?" He asks. I look at him and smile a little.

"No actually she wants me to stay with you. But she's literally being my mom telling me to text her first thing tomorrow." Aaron laughs.

"Well then I guess we should get inside. I don't want you getting too cold." Aaron puts his arm around me, and walks me inside. I immediately plop on the couch, and it's so warm. Aaron sits next to me, and kicks his feet back. He turns on the tv.

"Oooooh! Movie it's the thing!" He says. I look up at him with tired eyes.
"What the fluff does that mean?" I say. I look up at the tv, and there's that amazing movie that no one ever remembers the name of. "YAAAAY!" I sit up.

"What's the name? What's the name? What's the name?" Aaron's freaking out. These things always turn into competitions between us.
"Um. Um. Um. UM!" I HAD to win this. "THE FOREST!" I shout.

"DANGIT!" Aaron says in defeat. Ha! I WIN!

"I won! I won! Face it Aaron, I'm the best here." I say with sass. I flip my hair. "Don't make me go Beyoncé!" I look at him, and he's just laughing. I start laughing, and realize how dumb we are. Aaron holds his arm out, and I crawl up next to him. I lay my head on his shoulder, and we watch the movie...

I guess I must have fallen asleep, because I open my eyes in Aaron's bed. I start crying as pieces of a nightmare reappear in my head. Aaron's right next to me. He's sleeping lightly. I start squirming, trying to stop crying. Aaron suddenly wakes up. I look over at him, and see the worry in his eyes.

"Hey hey hey aph?" He looks at me. "Aph why are you crying what's wrong?" He asks. I look him in the eyes, and he sees all the tears in my eyes, and the ones already falling down my cheeks.

"I just had a nightmare...the guy came back...but I'm okay" I say. Aaron's expression softens.

"He really scared you, didn't he?" He wipes away my tears. I just nod. I could see his heart crushing from just looking at his eyes. Seeing him so worried in turn crushes my heart. He grabs my waist, and pulls me in closer to him. He wraps his arms around me, and just holds me. I start to calm down, and I stop crying. I bury my face in his chest, and he holds me tighter.

"It'll be okay Aph...I promise." He says softly. He kisses my forehead, and I slightly smile. I blush hard. I grip his shirt as I feel something slip down my cheek. My eyes start to sting as my vision becomes blurry with tears again. I cannot cry again. I know it crushes Aaron, and I can't stand seeing him like that. I sniffle, and Aaron looks down at me. I look up at him, and I can feel hot tears escaping my eyes.

"Aph...." He says in a broken voice. He sits me upright, and looks me in the eyes, his hands on my waist. Seeing his teary eyes makes me want to burst into tears. I immediately jump to him, wrapping my arms around his neck, hugging him tight. He hugs me back, cradling me with his arms. I feel tears racing down my cheeks, and I hug Aaron tighter as I start to wimper and shake. I'm trying so hard not to break down, but I can't help it.
"It's okay Aph...I'm right here..." Aaron softly pets my hair. That pervert is tearing me apart, devastating me until there's nothing left to devastate. But as I'm falling into that terrible pit of fear, Aaron's words ring in my ears, and I start to come back to reality, and my senses come back to me. The warmth of Aaron, his arms wrapped around me, protecting me from whatever was invading my mind and dreams.

Aaron's POV

As I'm holding Aphmau, I can feel how tense she is. I can also tell how many tears she's holding back, and she's holding back an ocean of tears. She's hugging me so tightly, trying to cope with her fear. I can't help but feel her fear. Whoever that guy was, he was affecting Aphmau in unimaginable ways.

Aphmau starts to whimper, like she's about to break. I hug her tighter, and try to make her feel safe. After telling her I was here for her, her grip loosens, and tears stops rolling down her cheeks. She stops shaking. She lays her head on my shoulder. I kiss her forehead, and she looks up at me blushing. She moves her hands to the back of my neck, and looks me in the eyes.

"You have no idea how much I need you in my life, Aaron. Without you...I don't even know where I would be or what I would be doing with my life. And...you care for me...comfort me when I'm scared or sad......I understand if you don't return these feelings and that's okay but...I want you to know that I think of you as more than a friend..."

Aphmau's POV

I confess to Aaron, and he blushes.
"I think of you as more than a friend in so many ways. You are like my best friend but at the same time...I...I like you...you're precious to me...and it's okay if you don't have feelings for me. But I feel like you need to know...if you do have feelings for me...you need to show me somehow because I can't wait any longer..." Aaron blushes even harder. I can tell I already look like a tomato. I can see a sort of longing in Aaron's eyes, and he looks at my lips. He pulls me up onto his lap, and without warning, starts moving his lips up against mine, kissing me like he means it.
This startles me at first, but then I kiss back just as passionately. I rake my fingers through his hair, and he responds by moving one of his hands to my thigh, the other at my waist. But he's not too aggressive. He has a perfect opportunity to take advantage of me, all he has to do is push me back onto his bed, yet he doesn't take it because he's smart.

I'm pretty sure it's not normal to make out with your friend and touch them where you would only touch your lover if you didn't have feelings for them. So I guess that means Aaron returns my feelings...we both want to be more than friends.

I just realized that it kind of looks like this is the end of the book. It is not the end of the book just because I made a pun on the title. Calm down people. Anyway I just wanted to point that out because I've been working on this part little by little all week believe or not, and I just had to be clear. With that, hope you have a good day and baiiii! ~♡
