The secret touch

Chapter 1

My name is Aiden, and this is my story.

Yeah I guess it's kinda cringe that I'm recording my life through a camera, but everyone does that now days, and my therapist suggested it would be a good idea so she can see how much I've improved, with my sessions. I guess I could start by saying no one actually knows where I came from, don't worry, I am actually human, but there was never a missing persons sign for me or an amber alert. I just kinda appeared one day in my parents life and I've been here ever since. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, my mom actually found me wondering in our neighborhood when I was two. She called the police and they did everything they could to find my biological parents, but at the end of the day, no one showed. I'm extremely grateful that my mother got so attached to me cause she ended up signing a bunch of paper work to adopt me. She says my only words at the time were "my name is Aiden". I didn't speak much for a while. I think I just got used to being around my parents so much, I finally started opening up to them, as family. But yeah, no parents, no record, nothing. This is why I'm in therapy. For me it's such a struggle getting to terms with the fact that, I'm never gonna get to know what truly happened.

*stops recording*

- Mom, I can't do this. It's so stupid, the camera is just there.- I yelled. So naturally I heard her steps approaching the door.

- Come on honey, you know if Dr. Beatriz suggests it, you need to at least give it a chance.- she said.

- Fine, but I won't keep doing it now.- I said, and got up.- I wanna hug you now.- She just smiled and opened her arms.

- You never told me, how you got Dad to agree, to keep me.- I said.

- Have you seen you ?- she asked smiling.- How could we not ? My beautiful redheaded princess.

My mom has always been so loving, I literally don't understand what I did to deserve her. It's been 14 years since she first hugged me, and I still feel the same sense of security, when she does.

- So, are you going out with Jason today?- she asked. With a smirk on her face.

- Mom we aren't dating.- I say.

- I know, I know, but he is really cute, and I do believe he likes you.- She said.

- Mom, we have really different personalities.- I said thinking about how he is all popular with his singing videos, and he is all fun and games.- Yes we are both weird, he is just the kind of weird, people like better, and I'm not. Honestly I don't think we'd be friends if not for the fact that aunt Jess is your best friend and he is her son.

My mom shook her head in disapproval. I guess she doesn't think you can have a best friend and not fall in love with each other. There was a time I thought that she might've been right about me and Jason, but him and I are past that.
*gets a text*

-Wyd?- text from Jason.

Speak of the devil they say.

-Not much, hbu?- I replied.

- Let's go get, chipotle?- he asked.

- Not in the mood, hbu McDonald's?- I replied.

- Ice cream machine is always broken, but yeah I'm up for some nuggets, be there in five.- he replied.
