When Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 11 Part 1

Eli's POV (A/N-this is going to be a catch up of everything that happened from the party to where I am up to with Aidan's POV. Okay? Okay. Also, anything that's in bold is me noting my thoughts, not the story. So it doesn't get confusing :))

I woke up, feeling drowsy and a pain was beginning to develop in my head. I lifted my head up, and looked around the room I was in. It was small, with a door to the right of me, that was open slightly, pouring light through the small gap. I blinked a few times to get my eyesight adjusted to the small amount of visibility in the room. Where was I? I was starting to panic. (At a disco. Haha. I made me laugh.)

As I awoke more, I could hear voices coming from the next room, though it was too quiet to make out what they were actually saying, I recognised one of the voices instantly; Aidan. My head couldn't take the light and the droning sound of them speaking so I closed my eyes once more.

I woke up once again, and immediately attempted to get up, but my legs apparently wouldn't cooperate with me, so I just lay down in the bed. I put my head on the pillow, and realised it smelt of Aidan; really good. I imagined him stroking my head, entwining his fingers in my hair, me lying on his legs, drawing circles on his knees, burying my nose in his jeans. It felt nice.

After what seemed like an eternity, I heard Aidan stop talking. Maybe they left, I thought. A few minutes later, though, I heard the voice that wasn't Aidan exclaim loudly. "Shit! Why did I tell him. Oh - God" He said between sniffing. "He's going to tell everyone. Why. I shouldn't have acted like I was drunk I, I, shouldn't have tried to act like I'd forget about everything just to have people talk to me normally for once... I, I, I... Need to g-go." Was the last thing I heard before whoever it was walk upstairs, where the music was still quietly playing. It had died down from earlier, but it was still going on. At that point I questioned how long parties lasted. I usually nagged my cousin to take me home by the time it got dark.

My head hurt. I wanted to go home. But Aidan was gone. I wanted him to be here. I wanted to feel safe with him again. I wanted to hear his laugh, and to feel his hand. I forced my legs to move to his figure, sleeping on the sofa. I sat down next to him. I didn't know what to do, so I started drawing circles on the back of his hand with my thumb. I started to whisper. "Aidan, I want to go home. Aidan, please Aidan, I want to go home." And repeated that over and over again for hours.

It was hours before my cousin came down the stairs to the room we were in. He had a small smile on his face, which made me smile too. "Is that your friend?" He said. I nodded a little. He smiled and said:

"Good. A dude who was invited by some hot college chick came up to me. He wasn't even with her. He needs to be more grateful, honestly. But by the look of him, he was doing some of the stuff. His nose was destroyed.

Anyway, he said that you were here and another guy fell asleep. Do you know where he," He jerked his thumb towards Aidan, lying on the sofa. "lives?" I nodded a little but blushed. Is it weird to remember where people live? I didn't know. "Great. Come on, let's get him home."

(A/N- Hey fy ffrindiau! New chapter dance time *flails*. Soooo, the only thing I have to say really is the song for this chapter is English Kids in America by Lower than Atlantis! Okay? Okay.)
