Ultima Blood - Aaron's Year

Waiting..

Two Months Later: Aarons POV
I dont know why I gave myself space. I'd have a full six months, alone. But I did it anyway. So now here I was, in a white shirt, and black jeans, in Aphmau's car, pulling up to mystreet.
"Aaron?" Aphmau asks gently as I spot the one house I didn't want to see.
"Aaron?" Aphmau asks again and I turn to look at her.
"I'm sorry," I say and she looks over at me quickly with shock.
"For what?" She says look backing at the road.
"For leaving you...alone..." I said
"Honey...you have NOTHING to apoligze for. Cmon," She says smiling and pulling up into our driveway.
Everyone was standing and I walked out sadly.
I grabbed my bag and walked into the house with Aphmau. When I entered I found Zane, Lucinda, Garroth, Kim, and Kawaii-Chan.
"Hey, guys!" Aphmau greeted.
"AARON!" They yelled and Garroth walked over.
"You alright?" He asked quietly and I turned to look out a window, which gave me a view of the neighboring house,
"Aaron?" Lucinda said joining us. She followed my gaze and sucked in a breath.
"I'm gonna go upstairs," I said and quickly left them watching after me. I came into my room and threw the suit case down and flopped on the bed, staring up at the plan ceiling.

I was back on the cliff, and find myself saying hurtful words, with a knife in my hand.  
"I will always love you, Aaron" Altea says.
I scream at my body  to stop, but nothing. I watch my own hand stab my sister before watching her fall off.
flashback end
I sat up and felt my black eyes wide. I looked at my wrist and took off the bandanna. I put it around my eyes with a shaky breath.
"Aaron!! Come Eat!!" Aphmau yelled.
I pushed myself off the bed and walked down the stairs. I found everyone who was here, when i came sitting down except for KC. Kim looked at me and her eyes became solem.
"O-Oh...um..it looks..nice.." She said and the other turned to look at me.
I walked over silently and sat down but didn't touch my food.
"Aaron..you have to eat," Zane said.
"I dont deserve the right to be eating right now," I said and everyone shared a glance, before staring at me.
"When are you going to stop, beating yourself up," Aphmau asked gently.
"When I finally realize that monster of a werewolf is dead," I growled.
"I thought he is dead," Garroth said slowly.
"We never found a body, but yeah..he's most likely dead,"  Lucinda said calmly.
"Aaron...I have four months, can you try to be Aaron?" Aphmau asked and I looked at her.
"I am being Aaron," I said and she sighed.
"When do you two want to start your lessons?" Lucinda asked changing the topic.
"I dont have tine to learn, so Aarons the only one doing it," Aph said and I finally took a bite of pasta.
"as soon as...as..I..get back..um..into life.." I said slowly.
"Well, we have to leave now, sorry guys," Zane said standing up
Kim, Garroth, and Lucinda sat up and Aph waved goodbye as they walked out.
"Aaron...why dont you go sleep...you had bags under your eyes when you arrived," Aphmau said.
"I...fine.."I said getting up and leaving. Aph grabbed my arm and kissed my cheek before letting me walk to the room. I flopped on the bed again and closed my eyes, but shot them awake as I heard her voice again.
"This...is going to be a long year," I muttered.
four moths later(third person)
"Mellissa?" Aphmau said opening the front door.
Aaron shot off the couch and ran to the door. Mellissa spotted Aaron and her tail flinched slightly.
"Aaron!" She said
"How's Altea?" Aaron asked immediately.
"shes awake, but..." Mellissa says slowly.
"but?" Aphmau repeats as Mellissa walks into the house.
"But shes in bad shape...of course she's working out, and doing her therapy...but she just seems super lost...she isn't exactly venting her feelings either...especially to Dad and Mom," Mellissa says.
"so why are you here?" Aaron asks.
"I'm here to take Aphmau back with me," Mellissa said sadly.
"but...i have two more months." Aph says looking at Aaron who had froze.
"Altea needs someone close...now...Aph..i hate to cut you time short..." Mellissa says.
"No..its fine," Aaron says bitterly, "its fine...Aph...go up and pack your things...Ill inform Zane,"
Aphmau shoots Mellissa a worried glance before running up the stairs.
"you, know...Altea is super worried about you," Mellissa says.
"why? I don't deserve her sympathy..." Aaron answers.
"Aaron...Altea knew exactly what would happen when she made her choice," Mellissa said, "she did it for everyone, not only you,"
"i was to weak to stop him..." Aaron said as tears fell, past the bandanna.
"don't worry...very soon..you ill be together....and you will be back to normal," Mellissa said as Aphmau came back in a red, two peice dress, along with a red bandanna in her hair.
"I haven't seen that bandanna in a while," Aaron complimented pecking her forehead.
"i haven't forgotten Aaron...bye bye, see you in eight months," Aphmau kissed and then she left with Mellissa.
Aaron stood staring at the door, hearing the car leave, before he grabbed some extra keys. He walked out, and found Lucinda, Zane, Garroth, Kim, and KC walking towards him.
"Aaron?!" Garroth said surprised to see him out of the house.
"Hey, come on," Aaron said and he ran towards the sidewalk. He turned and ran to the front porch, of the house right next door.
"Aaron-Kun? why are we at Altea's house?" Kawaii-Chan asked.
"because...I..I need..to be here.." He said.

Aaron took out his keys, and put one into the door before unblocking and pushing it open. Aaron walked in slowly and let his eyes wander the dark foyer. His feet took him to every part of the house silently, as his freinds followed and turned on lights behind him.

"Aaron?" Lucinda said suddenly as the entered the second floor.

"hmm?" Aaron answered opening up random doors and wandering around.

"Altea's room is that one," She said pointing to a door he hadn't opened yet.

Aaron walked towards it and slowly swung the door open before gazing into the room. Garroth reached around him and flicked the light switch, and then all six friends walked into the room.

"wow! its so neat.." Kim gushed.

"I like the dark color choice," Zane said admiring the dark colors.

"Surprised there's no amber..she loves that color.." Garroth said, "oh wow Aaron! you were cute as a baby!"

"What? Baby Aaron-Kun! let me see!!" KC said running towards Garroth, "Aphmau-senpai needs a photo!"

"Garroth!! put it down!" Aaron said walking over.

Garroth placed the photo down and then Aaron sighed and flopped onto the bed, causing dust to fly everywhere.

"okay, nope," Kim said pulling Aaron off the bed, "we should clean this house!"

"Ill do that.." Aaron said

"and were helping!" Lucinda added, "and you cant stop us!"

Aaron stifled a smile before it faded, "Lucinda? I think...I'm ready to start.."

"O-OH? Ill meet you tomorrow then...okay?" The witch said leading everyone out of the room, and out of the house.

Aaron nodded and then looked up at the house, "Ill keep waiting.."
