By the way that photo was the closest and most decent picture I could find of how I think of Aiden. Of course you could think of him as whoever you'd like. Love you all!

Aiden

I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off. Almost immediately, everything that happened yesterday came crashing down on me. I shove my head in my pillow, suddenly not feeling as bad as I expected. I stand up, not bothered looking in my mirror as I leave my room, going to the bathroom. 


After brushing my teeth, I hear a soft knock on my door as my mom comes in. 


"Hey Aiden. um.. I just wanted to ask you.. what happened.. you know.." She says in a tired and nervous tone. 


"My girlfriend commit suicide." I said, looking at her from the mirror. Her eyes go wide and fill with sympathy. A few seconds later she recovers from her shock, able to form a sentence.


"Aiden. I- I'm so sor-" 


"Mom. I'm fine." I interrupt her, walking past her going downstairs. I really do feel fine.


"Aiden its okay to feel sad!" I hear her shout after me as her footsteps go after me.


I don't reply as I sit at the kitchen counter, taking an apple from the fruit basket.


 When she comes downstairs, looking at me with a genuine sympathetic gaze.


 "Aide-"


"Mom I'm fine okay! Yeah I felt bad last night but I really am fine." I say, a little too loudly, throwing the apple back in the fruit basket, losing my appetite.


"Well you don't have to go to school if you don't want to." She said in a comforting but still shocked voice.


"Morning mo-" I hear Jessie say from the bottom of the stairs until her gaze lands on me.


"Aideeen. H-heyy." She said  in a.. frightened tone.


"Listen Jessie, Im really sorry about last night, its just uh.. something.. bad happened, that's all" I said with a weak smile to kind of encourage her to forgive me for my outburst.


"I accept your apology. Wait. What happened?" She asked, confusion lacing her tone.


I look at my mom, silently telling her to tell Jessie. 


"Well um.." She starts as I give her an encouraging smile. It never seems to reach my eyes.


"Well uh.. remember Billie?" She started, playing with her fingers, being a sign that she is nervous.


"Of course I do! She's soo funny, and nice, and-" 


"She killed herself." I say, not able to hear the rest of that sentence.


Her smile instantly drops as her eyes go wide. She stares at me, shocked. 


"I-I'm so sorry Aiden. I dont know what to say, I-"


"What's going on down there?" I hear my father's deep voice from up the stairs. He comes downstairs, his hair puffy as he rubs his eyes, making himself some coffee.


We ignore him, as my mom and Jessie look at me.


"Aiden listen to me." My mom said in a soft, motherly voice, sympathy lacing her tone. "After what happened, it is impossible for you not to feel sad. Now, if you need anything, and I mean anything, come talk to me, okay?" 


"Yeah me too. I-I can go to your teacher or classmates and get your homework from them!" Jessie says, seeming less shocked.


"Thanks-"


"Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" My dad's voice interrupts me.


"Dad I'm really not in the mood right now." I say.


"Oh grow up and tell me!" He said, his voice raised. I start getting angry.


I stare at him with a cold glare. 


"My girlfrie-" I start but get interrupted by Jessie.


"Aiden stop. Mom can tell him when you're in your room or something. You look like you need some rest." She said firmly.


"No! You tell me now!" My dad said, banging his hand on the table, spilling some of his coffee.


I take a deep breathe, struggling to control my anger.


"My fucking girlfriend commit suicide. You happy now?" I snap, angrily running up the stairs.


"Watch your language kid!" He shouts after me as I bang my door shut, hearing my mother shout at him.


I take another deep breathe, feeling a bit calmer. I take out the box, ready to listen to the songs.
