Aidan

I woke up to a text from Aidan, it said, " " hey do you want to come over ?" I grinned slightly and replied. I told him I would be round in half an hour. I slumped up against my head board and rubbed my eyes. A kaleidoscope of colours started to find its way in so I stopped as I thought I might be rubbing them too hard. After I collected my thoughts I threw the covers off of me and headed towards the shower.

I wandered downstairs expecting to find my mum and sister. Instead I found a note saying they had gone for a, 'girly day out' whatever that means.
Dad was always at work so I never really saw him, but he was coming home in a few days.

Then I popped some bread into the toaster and got out the jam and butter. At that moment I heard the cat scratching to get in.

I opened the door and clementine barrelled inside. She scratched at the cupboard, obviously hungry. I knew she wouldn't move so I gave into her demand. Just as I got up from giving her the cat biscuits I smelt the toast burning.

"Shit shit shit shit." Was what I said just before the fire alarm went of. The toast was black when I got it out but I was more focused on getting the fire alarm to shut up.

Once the fire alarm stopped wailing I looked over at the black toast and decided the breakfast gods were against me. I shoved on my converse grabbed my bag and started off towards Aidan's house.

I always like to bring the essentials to Aidan's house because we had a tendency to sleep at each other's houses without warning.

Me and Aidan have been best friends since we started school. On the first day he ran into me when I was playing alone. He apologised and asked if I wanted to play, and from there on it blossomed into a long lasting friendship. We were four years old back then. We are eighteen now, fourteen years of being mates with him...

Once I rocked up to Aidan's door I ran the door bell and stood with a smug look on my face. He opened the door and my smug face broke a bit. He was standing there with wet spiky hair, no top on and a towel thrown over his shoulder. Damn he looked kinda good...

"Hiya Sean."
"Hi aids-for-brains."
"Aww shut it will ye, come inside and let me get dressed."

Of course I came in and walked up into his room. I flopped down on his couch and we began to talk, small things, about what we did at the weekend and stuff. Me and him had just graduated form collage and boy were we happy about it.

Aidan put on a tee-shirt and slumped down on the couch next to me. Aidan lives in his own house but I still lived with my parents. This is why i went to his so often. Aidan walked across the room when his phone rang and picked it up.

"Yeah... what ?!.... ah fuck right.... fine see ya in fifteen."
"What was that about ?"
"Man I'm sorry I've been called into work I've got to go. You can still chill here though, I'll be three hours tops."
" it's ok I'll just beat ur mario cart records"
He smiled and said, " yeah u wish, if u do I'll buy u a drink tonight and if not visa versa."
"Ok see ya later."
"See ya dude."

And with that he was gone. I looked through my phone for a while until I became sleepy. I waltzed over to he bed and lay down. It smelt like him... I couldn't stop thinking about his smile on reply. What was I doing ? I'm not gay, no especially not with him he is my best friend.

I was very nearly in the reams of sleep. All I heard before I fell asleep was a voice.

It said, "please stop lying."
