We Don't Have Forever || An Aidan Gallagher Fanfiction

Aidan's POV

I woke up the next morning. She was still sleeping with her head on my chest. My arms were wrapped around her. I gently took my arms from around her and slowly got out of bed. I left her room and walked down the hall to her brother Jack's room. I knocked on the door.

He walked to the door and opened it. "Hey Aidan. Come in." He walked over to his bed and sat on it.

I sat next to him. "I think everything's ready for today."

He smiled. "Did you get the tickets?" I nodded. "She's going to love it. Just don't get her to excited." He said.

"I won't. I don't want her to have to go back there."

We had been planning something huge for Maela's first full day back home. We bought her tickets to a Billie Eilish concert. It was all Jack's idea.

"I'm gonna go wake her up." I got up and walked back to her room.

I walked into her room and saw her lying awake in bed. I smiled and lay next to her. I looked over at her. "I have something huge planned today. So you need to get ready so we can get going."

She looked at me confused, yet excited. "What are we doing?" She asked.

"You're just going to have to wait and see." I said. I wasn't going to tell her any of my plans for the day. I wanted everything to be a surprise. Which probably wasn't the best idea...

She got out of bed and walked over to her closet. "What should I wear?"

"Something comfortable, yet a little fancy." I suggested.

She nodded and picked an outfit. "How's this?"

"Perfect." I said with a smile.

She went into her bathroom to take a shower and get ready.

A little while later she came out in the bathroom with the outfit on and her hair done.

"You look amazing." I said looking at her.

She smiled and walked over to the bed and sat next to me.

I checked the time. "We better get going. We need to be at the first stop of the day in 15 minutes."

"Then come on," She said standing up quickly and holding out her hand. "I want to know where we're going."

I quickly stood up, took her hand intertwining our fingers together, and walked out of her room to go downstairs.

When we got downstairs Jack was standing in the kitchen. "Are you guys heading out?" He asked.

I nodded and quickly walked out of the house. We both got into the car. Me in the drivers seat and her in the passengers.

I started the car and began to drive. Our first location was a cafe that looked very aesthetic. I knew she would love to take pictures there and just enjoy being there.

Maela's POV

I had no idea where we were. It looked like a cafe. It was very cute inside. There was flowers and plants everywhere. It seemed very earthy inside. I loved it. There was so many cool places that I could take pictures for Instagram.

We sat down at a table near the middle of the cafe. "It's beautiful here," I said to Aidan who was looking around at everything. "How did you find this place?"

"Jack helped me," he looked at me. " he thought you would like it so he told me to bring you here for breakfast."

I smiled wide, from ear to ear. "We have to take pictures before we leave."
