3:00 A.M

~8~

My eyes widen and my grin was whipped off of my face. I stiffened as my my mouth opened a little. My mind went blank as i tried to process the view before me. There stood in front of me with all his glory was none other than the devil himself, Aiden Chester. 

He was leaning against the door frame just like Mason was a while back. His hands stuffed in the pockets of his lack leather jacket and one leg crossing the other. A bored expression was pasted on his face and he had his gaze cast downwards while chewing on his lips. His eyes lit up the second he saw me but were soon filled with amusement at my expression. He snickered at my dumbfounded expression and I glared at him shutting him up but his grin didn't fade the slightest. He was wearing a maroon-ish purple polka dots shirt and black jeans with white all star converse. He looked good.

"Hello to you too, Ash." he greeted smugly, "And please do close your mouth. We don't want you to catch flies, now do we?" he smirked.

I was stunned to see him on my doorstep but after processing his words I closed my mouth narrowing my eyes at him. 

"What in hell are you doing here, Chester?" I asked shocked and annoyed by his smugness. "I thought you might change your mind about telling me tomorrow. So i decided we should talk now." He shrugged. I huffed in annoyance. First Mason now him. It was too much for one day. I clenched my jaws to pretend to be angry at him. "Since when have you started making my decisions, Chester? And from where in hell have you gotten the idea that I'll tell anything to you much less share my personal life details? You're nothing but just another stranger to me." I snarled at him trying to look very annoyed. I actually was annoyed but i was more surprised and .. i dont know.. there was another feeling too which i am not familiar with and rather not talk about. If Mason wasn't upstairs, I would've let him in but he was and I can not tell him about this. He'll get hurt when I'll tell him that I decided to tell Aiden about this before telling him and I can not let this happen. So kicking him out like this was the only way i could think of right now. I just hope he doesn't hold a grudge against me. I don't know why but I don't want him to think of me as an impudent person. 

Hurt flashed across his eyes, or so I thought. It vanished too quickly for me to confirm it. But nonetheless I felt really bad. He eyes were now shielded from any emotion and rock hard. He glanced downwards before looking at me again. His jaws tightly clenched and now his once easy going face was showing a frown. "My bad. Sorry." he apologized roughly in a hollow voice and and turned on his heels. Within seconds he was in a black maserati granturismo convertible-probably his but holy fudgenuggets !! If i wasn't in this situation then i would be drooling externally rather than in my mind-  and was out of my sight. I watched as his car sped out of my sight and sighed looking down. 

I don't know why I stood there for another minute before turning and closing the door. As i was heading towards my room, Mason came out irritated i guess and frowned at me."You took forever. Who was it?" "Oh, no one. Sorry about that. Just some boy scout trying to sell cookies." I shrugged hoping that he wouldn't see through my lie. He just cocked his head to the side and looked at me. Then he let out a long frustrated sigh and held my hand. 

"Listen here. I am not gonna force you to tell me anything. It's all up to you. I'm sorry but I am really worried, Ash. We all are. I wanna make everything better for you. You know you mean so much to me. You're my best friend. I won't force you, don't worry, because i don't want you to lie to me. Straight to my face." Damn it! He said that with hurt dripping from his voice. Seeing him like this and knowing that I'm the reason, tears started to fill my eyes but i blinked them away. I looked at my feet feeling very guilty. "I'm sorry..." Was all i could say. He sighed again and squeezed my hand. "Hey, I'm your friend, right? And what are friends for? I understand. Take your time and whenever you're ready, well, I'm all ears." He smiled at me. I managed a smile back.

"I uh.. gotta go. I have to pick Maddie up from her school because mom's out on a business meeting." He told me letting go of my hand. "Uh yea sure. Take care and drive safe. Also kiss Maddie for me." I smiled a real smile now. He jogged towards the door and slamming it shut after yelling "Byee. Will do." Maddie is Mason's little sister. She is in elementary school and is a real sweetheart. She has chestnut brown hair and hazel eyes and has a very bubbly personality. She is like a little sister to me. 

After Mason went, I went to my room and laid down on my bed closing my eyes. This time the flashes weren't of the black eyes that gets me sweating but of green ones that got me worried. The hurt in them left me speechless. It was as if he really cared which was impossible. It was very strange for Aiden to just show up at my doorstep and talk so easily. For the first time his face wasn't in a frown when i opened the door. I must admit that he looked really cute without the frown. Shut up, mind. Anger didn't radiate off from him. He just seemed normal. Which was indeed very strange and odd. I wonder what he thought about me and what he thinks now. I wanted to know why is he showing concern towards me.  There were just too many questions with no answers. I sighed deeply running my fingers through my hair and glanced at the clock. 8:00 p.m it showed in red. I chewed the inside of my cheek and thought about sleeping since i had 4 hours before it started. I rolled on my bed and closed my eyes. Very soon due to exhaustion, I fell into unconsciousness only to be woken up again at 12... and the cycle begins.
