My Average Life

Aaron's p.o.v

It's been 6 months since I decided I needed to leave... The only reason I haven't left yet is, I'm not ready. Being a newborn and having a newborn baby is far too much to handle.

I've distanced myself from the family... It's difficult but they have all made it perfectly clear, they won't be leaving, saying 'we don't get run out by wolves'. I'm not in the position to fight, I just need to keep my son safe and if that means leaving the family I love, then so be it.

My eyes open to the sunlight pouring through the window, it's a nice feeling waking up to the early morning sun on your face. I'm sure rob has noticed the slight separation I've made from his family... And from him. But I can't think about that right now, it hurts too much. I love him more then anything, but if he won't come with me then he'll lose me. I slide out of bed, stretching my arms above my head. Walking into the bathroom I shower and dress in a white polo and medium blue skinny jeans with white converses. Nodding as I finish my hair I head out to get Evan, Rob took him downstairs earlier when he woke.

"Morning" I greet Rob as I descend down the stairs. "Hi, love. Evans been fed and changed" Rob stands from his kneeing position in the middle of the living room, leaving Evan on the floor as he makes his way outside. Standing there for a few moments watching the door where Rob exited, I sigh. Looking back over at Evan laying on the thick cream carpet surrounded by toys and an empty bottle. "Hi little man! What have you been up to?" I do the high pitch mummy voice as I lean over my grinning and wriggling infant, clearly happy to see me.

Hearing someone approaching I look up towards the kitchen when Rose walks in "He is such a happy baby, clearly loves you." She smiles warmly "He is really smiley" I smile back. "Where is Rob?" She asks sitting down on the couch closest to us, "He went outside, maybe to hunt?" I ask lifting Evan up. "You don't know? What's going on Aaron? I'm worried about you", "Nothing is going on..." I inform heading to the closet to get Evans jacket and stroller "I'm heading into town Rose, I don't know when I'll be back. Let Rob know when he returns please?", "of course dear" she smiles curtly.

I must admit I love being outside now, I feel so free! Just the wind blowing across my cheeks makes me happy. I can breath.

It's been so long since I've really been out, just going to town is good enough for me! Deciding to have a rest and get Evan out of the wind for a while we head into the café, the warm air and smell of coffee assaults my senses the moment I walk in. I miss coffee! Walking to the counter, pushing Evan ahead of me we wait in the cue (surely it would be rude to sit and use a seat and not buy anything?). The line moved steadily until I was at the front of the line, well there's no line now no one came in after me. I recognize the clerk behind the counter, it's tom! The really cute and sweet guy from over a year ago! He looks the same apart from his hair is now blonde not almost white, he suits it the black I mean. "Hi can I take your order?" He asks without looking up "Hi yeah, erm can I get a cookie and a coffee please?" I ask, that's when he looks up, clearly recognizing my voice "oh! Hi!" He bounces smiling, "hello" I smile sweetly "is that to go or eat in?", "eat in please" "great! I'll bring it over" he winks "thank you" I smile sweetly and pull Evans stroller round to a table, the same table I sat at when I was pregnant with Evan non the less! Sitting down I face Evan towards me in his stroller, he looks happy enough. Maybe a little warm now we are inside so I remove the blanket from his lap.

Only a few minutes later Tom walks over with my coffee (not that I will be drinking it) and Evans cookie (which he will enjoy I'm sure!) "here's your order Aaron" tom sets the tray down on the table with a smile, "Thank you Tom" I nod kindly "So hey! Who's this?!" Tom asks referring to Evan "this is Evan, my son" I smile down at my baby before looking up at tom, "your baby? Wow!", "yeah my baby, he's almost 7 months" I smile "7months? Wow, he's cute too! Just like his daddy!" "Thanks" I blush taking to cookie from the tray and handing it to my hungry little boy. "So... What are you doing after leaving here?" Tom asks sitting down on the other side of the table "erm... Not sure? We're just hanging, aren't we little man" I reply to tom but speak to Evan in the last bit, "well cool! I'm off in 15 mins if you wanna do something after?" He asks "sure, I don't mind" I smile glad for the social life I might get a little of! "Great see you in 15" "okay, I'll be here" I laugh "great!" Tom walks back to the counter to serve some more customers. "He's nice, isn't he Evan 😉" I wink and gain a giggle from him.
