"Aiden! Aiden, mom said you had too!"

"Ameila! I'll do it in a second! Go watch tv or play your stupid barbie game!"

I fluttered open my eyes at the loud screaming coming from somewhere nearby. I sat up, a rush of pain flying through my hand. I shrieked and glanced over my bandaged up knuckles. I raised an eyebrow, looking around to find myself in a large room, a couch on one side, a flat screen tv right in front of it, and the walls a dark blue with posters of cars and rock bands spread across it. I glanced down to find myself in a king size bed underneath black covers.

In other words, this wasn't my room. I began rumaging through the blankets in a desperate attempt to find my cell phone. Suddenly there was a click, and my head snapped up to find the bedroom door slowly creaking open. I pulled the covers up to my chest, about to let out a scream when a head popped in through the door. Aiden's head. I rolled my eyes and dropped the covers down, "Where the hell am I?"

Aiden sighed, "Did my stupid sister wake you?"

I scoffed, "AJ, you took me to your house?"

He suddenly blushed, shrugging as he stepped forwards to sit on the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry, I just didn't want to take you home in such a rough condition."

I raised an eyebrow, "What rough condition?"

His eyes widened, "Oh my god! You lost your memory?" He jumped to his feet and began pacing in circles, running his hands through his messy brown hair. "I should've gotten to you sooner, this is all my fault."

I rolled my eyes and swung the covers off my body. I walked up beside him, placing my hand on his shoulder, "AJ, calm down. I didn't lose my memory."

He grabbed my arms with panick in his eyes, "Oh my god, now you're just in denial!"

I sighed as I clasped my hands down on his cheeks and smashed my lips against his. His body tensed immediatley, but I felt him melt against my touch. I pulled back, still holding him close to me, "Now, what happened to me?"

He cleared his throat, holding his hands on my waist, "You punched a wall," he said, his voice cracking midsentence.

I smirked, trying not to remember my terrifying conversation with Liana. "I remember that part. Why am I here?"

He shrugged, pulling my body against his, "You passed out in the hallway. I found you, brought you here and wrapped up your hand. I don't know how you passed out."

I bit my lip, "Thankyou."

Aiden smirked, "For?"

I tugged at the collar of his shirt, pressing my mouth against his cheek, "Saving me."

I could heard him swallow, and I pressed my lips down on his roughly. He let out a small breath and began walking forwards, causing me to back up with him. My heels hit the edge of the bed, sending me onto my back. Aiden leaned over me, moving his mouth against mine. I fought the eagerness rousing up inside of me.

No.

I thought to myself, I couldn't let myself want a guy that much. The male population was supposed to want me, and I was supposed to take advantage of that. I wasn't supposed to want it too.. That would only cause.. What was that word..

Oh right. Feelings.

I snapped back into reality once his tongue lashed out into my mouth. I tugged at the belt loops of his pants, feeling satisfied as he released a moan into my mouth. Before I could advance he stepped backwards off of me, leaving me on the bed.

I couldn't help but release an agonzing groan, "What?" I spat.

He ran a hand through his hair, pacing along his floor as he gasped for breath. I bit my lip, fighting a craving I have never experienced before. Aiden shook his head, "I don't want to be just another one of your guys."

I sat up, licking my lips, "No, AJ, you're not."

He scoffed, letting out a hysterical laugh, "Come on, Peyton. If I do this with you right now, you'll drop me tomorrow."

I bit my lip, "So you will, just not now?"

He rolled his eyes, "See, that's what I mean. You don't even listen to the important parts. It's all about Peyton." I raised an eyebrow, but he wasn't done. "I'm sorry, right now, please, just leave," he whispered, opening his bedroom door.

I swallowed, walking slowly towards the door. I spun around in the doorway, "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't want me."

Aiden shook his head, "I couldn't. But I want you for different reasons."

I smirked, "So you don't just want me because I'm pretty?"

He shrugged, "I don't want you. What I want is a girl looking for a real relationship, not just what you're looking for."

I gulped, feeling hurt by his words. I licked my lips, "What I want is to find out what my father needs me to be. Because apparently this isn't it," I snapped the last part.

He shook his head, "You're right, you're not it. I can guarantee that. Have you even asked your mother how he died?"

"Suicide!" I shouted, "I saw it!" Tears pricked my eyes, and I clenched my fists against my legs.

Aiden swallowed, "Why?"

I shrugged, shaking my head, "I don't know."

He sighed, running his tongue along his lips, "I'll make you a deal."

"What deal?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

Aiden leaned back, "I'll help you find everything you need to know about your father on one condition."

I rolled my eyes, "Alright, AJ, what's the condition?"

He smirked, "You change the way you act towards people."

"Change who I am?"

He shook his head, "No, change the way you act. Don't treat people because of what's on the outside, but what's on the inside. I know you're capable of it."

"How do you know I can?" I said as I brushed back my blonde hair.

He smiled, "Look at me," he gestured to himself, "I'm not exactly a hot jock. Why exactly did you give me a break?" I blinked, and he laughed at my lack of speech, "Because you saw something in me. You looked past the cover for one second and saw something in me that you wanted," he explained.

I clenched my teeth, "Fair enough. You have a deal."

"Good," he said as he crossed his arms over his chest.

I grinned evily, "Let's make me perfect."
