21/12/12

That night was very cold, And plus I was in my bra and underwear.. I didn't have anything else to wear to bed.
I curled my body as tight as it could go, trying to capture the warmth from inside the doona, blocking out the coldness. 
I kept thinking Aidan's parents would come in the room I was currently sleeping in and ask who I am and what i'm doing sleeping his brother's bed. But I had to constantly keep reminding myself that it was just Aidan and I left. Just remember, it's so hard to get used to. 

I kept hearing noises from outside of the doona. I wanted to see what it was but the chicken inside me stayed covered  with a little peekhole to look out from. No one in my eyesight that the tiny peekhole provided for me showed that no one was there. I was shaking from coldness and nervousness. I couldn't wrap my head around anything.

Aidan was already in bed. So I couldn't go have a cup of tea with him and talk about my sleeping problems. I had to try fall asleep on my own. Unless, I go to Aidan's room and wake him up and talk to him there. But that's pussy of me, and plus he thinks i've been taking this extinction of the human race really well. Which of course I wasn't. And anyway, everything could go back to normal any day, or I could wake up from this nightmare which seemed really realistic.

Hours past and it finally AM. 6:37am to be exact. And I had little to no sleep. This bed was absolutely uncomfortable too. I think i'll take the couch tonight.
I decided to get up anyway since there was a little of sunlight. I put the kettle on and sat on the couch awkwardly and just stared into space. 

Did I mention that the electricity, gas and water was still on? It hadn't gone away like humanity. Strange huh? It was almost as if the world was on pause. And the other week I did notice the traffic light stayed yellow for a good amount of time without moving and the green person telling me to walk never turned red. 

As the kettle noise turned quieter I walked over to the bench and made myself a cuppa-tea. It was nice. When I was done I sat back on the couch and brought my knees to my chest and cupped the cup inbetween my hands and was taking little sips of it. The sun got brighter, my cup become more and more empty, and by now Aidan had  come awake aswell. He came around from behind the hallway stretching upwards, swinging his arms up crossing them over while yawning. He showed off his tones abs and musclular bicep tention. I got a quick glance, but looked away placing my empty cup on the coffee table.

"No shirt.. Why?" I asked.

"Up early.. Why?" He asked.

"Is that a joke? You've actually gotten sleep in the last week? Wow." I chatted on. "Must not care that we're the only ones fucking alive!" I raise my voice.

"Calm down, try to enjoy it while you can." He smiles, winking playfully. 

"This isn't a joke Aidan! We need to do something about this!"

"Oh, I love it when you say my name." He speaks fluttering his eyes. 

"Just piss off." I say rolling my eyes and leaving the room to sit outside on the deck.

I go and sit on one of the dining chairs and close my eyes. Begining to cry to myself. Tears rolled down my face and by then I just wanted to be alone. 

"Jayde," Aidan begins. "I know this is hard, and i'm not really sure what's going on. But what you have to remember is that all we have is eachother, so you can't just go off your head like that when you feel like it. It is hard, I know you miss your family-"

"Friends." I cut him off. "I miss my friends."

He flared his nostrils once. "I know you miss your friends, but we should atleast try to get to know eachother."

"Fine." I say. 

The rest of that hour, and the following one we talked about our interestes, hobbies and all that other junk. For awhile I forgot about reality for a sec. Which was nice.

Aidan simmers down his laugh. "So, we should go find us some lunch then?"

"Mmm." I mumble. "I'm not really hungry."

"But you haven't aten since yesterday..." He says while scrunching his eyebrows. 

I walk off from the conversation and walk into the bathroom closing the door behind me. I lean against the door for a minute or so and just think of nothing. My mind goes blank and my eyes are well and truely closed.

"Okay, well, ugh- I'll put on a sausage roll for you then." He says trying to speak through the crack of the door.

I nod to myself and begin to turn the shower taps to a luke warm temperature. I hadn't had a shower since the day before the "day", so to feel the warm water rush through my hair, and run down my back was the most thrilling feeling. I let out a light moan and use my hands to wash my face. I wash my hair, body and even my teeth with the unopened toothbrush Aidan left out yesterday. 
When I was done, I dried myself off and dressed myself in the clothes from a few days ago. It was disgusting, but it was all I had. I walk out of the bathroom, tilting my head to the side dying my hair on the right. Aidan was sitting down eating his sausage roll watching the basketball. When we made eyecontact I gave him a small smile and he flicked his head up towards where my lunch was. I sat down silently and started to nibble on it.

Aidan and I made small talk with eachother but that was it. I didn't feel very comfortable around him yet. I'd only been 9 days. So later that night Aidan put on a movie and we watched it. The movie 'Avatar' went forever. Well, it felt like it. And before I even knew it, my eyes started to get really heavy, really quick. Aaaaand then. I fell asleep.
I open my eyes slowly to find myself resting on Aidan's shoulders. I could feel his head on the tip of mine, so I assumed he was asleep too. I was really comfy too. We had a really fluffy blanket around us so I was qutie warm. Plus Aidan's body warmth. I didn't know what to do. I didn't like being so close to Aidan, it was making me uncomfortable. So, in that case, I tried to wriggle out of this position without him waking up. And so far I succeeded. I kept at, little by little. Until I realised he had been awake the whole time, watching me. 

"Sorry.." I whisper.

He groans from being asleep. "It's okay." He says in a dark, sleepy voice. 

He rolls over and gives me the blanket. 
what?
I try to spread it out over both of us. I watch for his reaction but he had already fallen back asleep. I lay back down slowly and pull the blanket up to my nose. Maybe this head-to-toe action isn't that bad. But it was still weird.
