The Boy Next Door

05

Aiden's pov
All the girls arrive and they follow me upstairs. We talk for awhile and listen to some music. We go down to my basement since it's kinda like a movie theater.
"What do you guys want to watch," I asked.
"YouTube," Christina said. I scrolled though YouTube.
"That one," Gabbie said as she pointed at the screen. It was a Sam and Colby video. I clicked on it.
"Let's watch something funny," Christina said.
"Yeah that was creepy," Tate said. We all laughed. We ended up watching a bunch of Jc and Kian videos. My phone started ringing. It was my best friend Elena from Ohio.
"I'm going to be right back," I tell them. I picked it up.
"Hey how are you," I said
"Good I miss you already," Elena said.
"I know when can you visit," I asked.
"Not for a while," she said. We talked for a good ten minutes before I returned to the girls. We all ended up falling asleep.

Monday morning
Aiden's pov
Time to go to school. I get dressed and do my hair.

I walk outside and I see Daniel in his car.
"Good morning do you want a ride," Daniel asked.
"Yes thank you," I said.
"No problem," Daniel said. He looked happier than the last time I saw him.
"How are you and Mckayla," I asked and immediately regretted it.
"Oh we got back together but it was my fault she thought I was cheating on her with you," Daniel said.
"Dani that wasn't your fault but as long as your happy," I said.
"Thank you your a great friend Aiden," Daniel said. We got to school and parted ways to our lockers. I unpacked some of my stuff. I closed my locker and saw Jake Andrews standing there. Jake was cute and I met him on Friday when I started here. He was pretty nice to me.
"Hi Aiden," Jake said.
"Hey," I said.
"Do you want to hang out after school," he asked. I looked and saw Daniel shaking his head no.
"Uh um sure," I said.
"Great I'll pick you up after school," he said.
"Ok," I said. I walked to my first class which was English. I have it with Daniel. I walked in and sat in my seat. I went on my phone and scrolled through Instagram. Daniel sat next to me.
"Why are you going to hang out with Jake," he asked.
"I don't know he's nice," I said.
"Please be careful," he said.
"I will," I said.

Daniel's pov
I don't want her to get hurt. Jake is a big player and I know him. I know what he has done to other girls. I watched her the whole class. She's so beautiful I don't know how a guy like Jake likes her. I know he doesn't he just wants something from her.

Class is over and I walk out of class angry. I find Jake in the hallway. I heard him talking about how he's going to use Aiden.
"I swear if you hurt Aiden, I'm going to hurt you," I said.
"Yeah ok your scrawny," he laughs.
"You aren't going to stop me," he said. I hit him in the face. He laughs.
"Your going to get it Seavey," he says while him and his friends gang up on me.
"Jake get the hell out of here," Jonah says helping me up. Jake is scared of Jonah because he's taller and stronger. I run away embarrassed.

Aiden's pov
I saw Daniel running away into the library. I followed him. He had a bloody nose and he looked pretty beat up.
"Dani what happened," I asked.
"Nothing Aiden," he said. I got paper towels and poured some of my water on it and started cleaning his face.
"Who did this," I asked.
"No one I fell," Daniel said. I didn't believe him but he's upset so I thought I would just leave it alone. We walked to our second class.
"Miss carter your late," my teacher said.
"I know I'm sorry it won't happen again," I said. I waked to my seat and started doing the notes.

After school
I'm at home waiting for Jake. I already gave him my address. I hear a car pull up. I went out side and got in Jake's car.

We got to his house. We went to his room.
"What do you want to do," I asked.
"Want to watch a movie," he asked. I nodded. He put on a random movie. I got a call from Daniel. I answered it.
"Please come home Aiden," Daniel said worried.
"What why," I asked.
"Aiden Jake's a bad he's using you I heard him talking about it at school," he said.
"Is that who did that to you," Daniel said.
"Yes but please I'm outside his house please come home with me please," Daniel said.
"Ok," I said. It seemed serious.
"Are you using me," I asked Jake.
"So Seavey told you," he said. He grabbed my wrist.
"Ow Jake please just let me go," I said. I kicked him and I ran to Daniel's car. I got in and cried scared of what would've happened if I didn't get out of there.
"Aiden are you ok, did he do anything," Daniel asks.
"Almost but I ran I'm sorry I didn't listen," I said.
"It's not your fault," he says. We drove home in silence. We get out and he walks me to my door.
"Bye Aiden call me if you need anything," he said I nodded.

3am
I can't sleep and I see Daniel doing stuff on his computer. I call him.
