I'm Not As Good As You Think

(H)

'Do you want to do lunch?' I texted Aaron with a smile on my face. He messaged me back with a yeah and I got excited. I just want to touch him again.

I finally got out of my class and found Aaron. He has so many new bruises on his face. I got sad and walked up to him.

"Are you okay?" I asked putting my hand on his shoulder. He jumped a little and I immediately took my hand off him.

"Yeah." He said sadly and I sighed softly. Why won't he tell me anything? He turned around to face me and smiled weakly. "Ready for lunch?" He asked and I nodded. I'm afraid to even touch him.

We got to his bike and I softly wrapped my arms around his waist. We drove to a store to get some lunch. I got a sandwich and he just got a water. We drove to the park and he grabbed the blanket and his bag before going to our usual spot.

"What happened?" I asked softly putting my hand on his knee. He looked up with sad eyes and I could tell he was trying to come up with something.

"I lost a fight. I'm fine though." He said with a fake smile. I sighed and started eating. He smoked more than usual before packing up his stuff and lighting a cigarette. "My family is going to be out of town all week, if you want to spend tomorrow night at my house?" He asked weakly.

"I would love to. I'll just tell my dad I'm staying at Izzys again." I said happily.

"Okay, we should probably get back to the school." He said sadly. We packed up and I followed him back to his bike. I got on behind him and wrapped my arms around him. I don't want to hurt him.

We got back to the school and he held my hand as we walked into psych. School went by painfully slow. I just want to know what's going on with him.
