In Love With My Best friend (boyxboy)

A Date With Bailey

Chapter 22

Adrian's POV

After I arrived at the cinema, I saw Bailey waiting for me. I put on my fake act of being Aaron and began walking towards him dully while looking down.

''Hi Bailey, I'm sorry, but Adrian couldn't make it, he fell down from his bed and hit his head, so he couldn't be here, he was too tired.''

''oh gosh, that idiot, oh well let's try making this fun anyway'' he laughed, making me fake a chuckle, since I was the one whom he was calling a jerk.

We walked inside and saw a bunch of movie posters everywhere. Deciding to watch the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, we went to buy popcorn and soda's, and walked inside to watch the movie.
After taking a seat, he placed the popcorn between us, and the movie began.

''try enjoying yourself tonight...'' bailey whispered.
The movie ended rather quick since I wasn't paying any attention to it at all, I was too distracted by Bailey, who kept trying to hold my hand during the movie, I of course, tried to reject him softly, though it didn't work. Maybe because I didn't want it to work? I know it sounds weird, but I liked the feeling of his hand on mine, but I couldn't help but feel guilty since it wasn't me. I didn't want to send the wrong signals from Aaron, he would never do this, I know him. And I couldn't lead Bailey on either, since he thinks it's Aaron and not me. It's not me he likes, unfortunately.

We ended up at a restaurant, near the cinema to get something to eat. Even though I was starving, I told Bailey I just wanted to go home at first, but he insisted, and here we are now. Though it really wasn't that hard to convince me.

We sat around a table for two, after ordering our pizza.

''maybe we should go home and share our pizza with Aar-Adrian.'' I suggested.

''If he wanted pizza, he should've come too'' Bailey said, smirking oddly at me. I shrugged and tapped with my foot, waiting for our food.

''What'd you think about the movie?'' Bailey asked, obviously trying to start a conversation.

''I didn't really pay- I mean it was good. I liked the orange guy/turtle'' I chuckled nervously.

''Mikey? Yeah that's my favorite too. But it doesn't sound like you were paying much attention?''

''What?! Yes I was, you were the one not paying any attention, dickhead''

''wow, calm down, Aaron'' he chuckled while emphasizing Aarons name, making me realize, that Aaron would never be like this if he was here, I forgot my act. Cursing in my head, I realized that maybe Bailey knew, since he was putting emphasis on Aaron's name.

''Dude, are you okay?''

''Yeah, I'm alright, why shouldn't I be?''

''You just got really quiet really fast, but reconsidering it, I shouldn't be surprised since you're probably just missing my cousin''

I looked down not wanting to lie to him anymore, I felt a little ashamed. I didn't know why this wasn't a problem before, but now I don't want to lie anymore.

''Sometimes, I get these breakdowns, where my mood suddenly changes to the worse, it usually happens when I'm having a little fun.'' I said lying him in the face. I don't do that, but Aaron does. Sometimes, when he's at the verge of smiling something happens, and he just want to go back to bed, and he does, he goes back to bed and stays until next morning where he has to get up for school. I swear if it wasn't for our mom, he would've spend all his time in bed with his phone next to him, waiting for a call that might never happen.

Our mom has been very helpful after what happened with Zach, she's so understanding and helped Aaron through a lot of stuff, she was the one who made him almost smile first. And I'm sure Aaron is grateful to have her as a mom, I know I am. Before finding out I had a real family, I lived like shit. Well I had a roof over my head and food on my plate, but that wasn't the problem. My family was the problem. My ''mom'' and ''brother'' wasn't exactly the type of family you would've wanted. My brother was my bully, and did worse things than you can imagine. My mom was a psycho bitch who wanted nothing but money. Of course they gave me what I absolutely needed, but nothing more, nothing less. At times it made me think if it was worth it. If it was worth to stay with them, maybe I should've just ran away. But I was always too weak and scared. I was too scared to break the rules, cause I knew what was bound to happen if I ever was to break the rules. I knew what she would do if I ran away, she would send Carl after me. Carl was my 18 years old big brother. He did things to me. he would've done things to me if I did actually run away.

After eating we decided to leave, not much happened, we talked a little, with me struggling to stay in character. We would've had a much better time if I wasn't pretending to be pessimistic person.
Bailey took me home and was about to leave when my mom opened the door.

''Why are you late Adr-'' my mom interrupted.

''I'm sorry mom, can we talk later?'' I begged, pushing her back inside, she just smirked knowingly and walked inside.

''sorry about her'' I said turning my attention toward bailey, who was smiling.

''It's okay, hey I had fun today, I just wish you wasn't that caught up in your character, maybe we would've had even more fun, Adrian'' he smirked and left, walking away mysteriously.

''Wait! Bailey, wait a minute'' I said catching up to him.

''what's up?''

''how... when? Wait-''

''At the minute you opened your mouth at the movies, and because it was that obvious'' he smirked.

''you... dickhead, why didn't you say anything?''

He shrugged, ''because, I wanted to see your acting skills, and I can now officially say you have just reached a level above Kristen stewart.'' He laughed. I pushed him away playfully. "But thanks anyway, maybe next time we can go out as Adrian and Bailey, and not Adrian disguised as Aaron and Bailey" he smirked and walked away with his hands in his pockets. I couldn't help but smile like an idiot until he was out of sight. I hesitated to turn around and go back inside.

"AW! That was too cute! You guys fit perfectly with each other!" My mom squealed.

"Mom! It's not like that! He's our friend..." I stated blushing slightly. I hurried upstairs to Aaron watching him sit at the edge of his bed, with his eyes wide open and mouth smiling widely.

"What happened?" I asked.

"I... I just received a call... From Zach."
