Love, Laura (Ayden Lee fanfic)

29.12.2019, Laura

A lot of drinks later we were all a bit tipsy. Except for Max he was fully drunk. It was worrying me but he assured me he was fine and I trusted him. He went to the bathroom while we ordered some more drinks.

But after twenty minutes he still wasn't back. We looked all throughout the place but there was no sign of him. I tried calling him and the girls texted him a bunch. I went absolutely mental thinking of the worst.

"What if something bad happened to him?" I panicked.

"Clam down I'm sure he just got a bit lost. You saw how drunk he was" Emily reasured me. I calmed down for a second and called again.

Somehow we were now already at the hotel. We thought we shoud check the pool downstairs and then work our way up. I was calling him again right infront of the hotel. He didn't answer.

We were walking down the stairs to the pool area. I walked in first. I was met by a figure I couldn't see because of the darkness. The lights turned on and I saw a boy. He seemed my age. But right after I saw him I saw something that scared me for life.

My boyfriend. All over another girl. A single tear fell from my face.

"Oh shit. Baby it's not what it looks like" Max hurried to explain.

"No it's exactly as it looks like" the boy I saw first said. I looked at him waiting for more answers.

"Why don't you tell your girlfriend how you cheated on her with my sister, Max?"

How did she know his name? And how did she know he cheat- Oh my god he cheated. I started shaking and coughing. My head started spinning and I felt as if I was falling. The boy rushed towards me and caught me before I hit the floor. He brushed his hand over my face. I saw his mouth moving but his voice seemed so distant I couldn't understand what he was saying.

He screamed loudly and this time I heard.

"Call fucking 911!" were the last words I heard before I was consumed by darkness.

I woke up in a bright room. I was laying down in a comfy bed. I moved up a bit. I looked around realizing I'm in a hospital room. Emily and Kirsty caught my eye.

"What happened?" I asked. Emily rushed to me.

"It's okay don't worry you're okay" she said holding my hand.

"Why am I here?" I asked quietly. Emily looked at Kirsty. Kirsty nodded.

"We found Max by the pool with another girl. You passed out. The doctors said you could have died but luckily we were quick enough to call for help"

Memories from yesterday flooded my head all too quick. I remembered a boy. He was first to help. I wanted to know who he was.

"So you know who the boy is?"

Emily nodded. "His name is Ayden. He's the girl's brother. He told you what actually happened"

"And them saved me from hurting myself more by falling" I added. She nodded.

"Is he here?"

Kirsty left the room and seconds later a boy came in. The boy. Ayden. I smiled sadly. He came over to me.

"Hey I'm Ayden. The boy from yes-"

"Yeah I know who you are"

"Well I wanna start by um, apologizing. It wasn't a good idea to just shoot something like that at you"

"Not it's fine. I'd want to know anyway" I smiled and he returned it. He started to seem familiar. Not just from yesterday. From before. Even his name was so familiar. I just couldn't quite figure it out.

He stayed with me for a bit. I asked for him to stay of course. Emily left as well. With each second I liked him more and more.
