We Just Can't ✅ (NOT EDITED)

CHAPTER 23

Naomi's P.O.V

I open my eyes and find myself in a room that doesn't look familiar. My head is pounding, I know that I drank last night, the real question is how much did I drink.

I sit up and rub my sleepy eyes and then I realize something. Holy shit! It's Monday.

There's a knock on the door.

"Come in" I say.

Aaron walks in holding a cup of water and a pack of paracetamol.

"Good morning" he says putting the water and medicine on the side table.

"Good morning, is this Bimbo's house?" I ask which earns a chuckle from him.

"Nope, you spent the night here" he says.

I just nod not knowing what to say. Let me just pray my mum never finds out about this if not my burial will happen much earlier than expected.

"I know you're probably having a slight headache so I brought medicine for you" he says pointing to the side table.

"Thanks" I say with a smile.

There's a moment of silence and it's comforting so I don't feel like breaking it so I don't talk.

Then I remember that today is Monday and that we have to get ready for school.

"We have to get ready for school" I say getting up.

"We still have time" he says looking at the clock.

"It's 6:45am already, there's no way we'll get to school by 7:00 am" I say.

"I forgot you're an early comer" he says with resentment in his tone.

"I got you a birthday gift by the way" I say.

"Thanks. I've already seen it by the way" he says.

"How?" I ask.

I'm praying inwardly that I put it in my overnight bag and not my purse because if he searched my purse that means he saw my pills.

"I saw it in your purse" he says giving me an odd look.

Holy shit! I think he knows something.

"I also found this" he says dipping his hands in his pocket.

He stretches his palm forward revealing to me the pills.

This is bad. Really bad. He probably thinks I'm a weird drug addict now or something.

I'm a big fool why on earth did I have to bring it here with me.

"After some frantic searching on google I found out this is molly. Care to explain yourself" he says.

After some seconds of hesitation I speak up.

"You had no right to search my purse" I say feigning annoyance.

"I wasn't searching, I was checking for your phone when I saw it" he says.

"Why were you looking for my phone?" I ask still faking annoyance.

He's about to say something then he keeps quiet. Knowing Aaron for as long as I've known him that can only mean he had no relevant reason as to why he was searching for my phone.

"That's invasion of privacy" I say in a matter of fact voice.

"I don't care. Tell me what's wrong" he says in an authoritative voice.

I could just tell him now and end this burden that I have put upon myself.

"Nothing is wrong" I say.

"Naomi I know you wouldn't do drugs so whatever is bothering you must be serious" he says in a sympathetic voice.

"It's nothing trust me" I say.

He sighs heavily, I can tell he won't ask again at least for now.

"Where can I like shower?" I ask.

He points to the bathroom then he gets up and leaves.

I get my overnight bag and step into the bathroom.

I brush my teeth and take a bath. I towel dry my body as soon as I'm done. I search my overnight and realize that I forgot my school uniform.

"You are big fool" my inner voice mocks.

"Very big fool" 

What will I do now?

The door swings open to reveal Aaron.

"Sorry, I didn't know you were out of the bathroom" he says looking down.

"What if I was naked?" I ask with my hands on my waist.

"It would have been a sight to see" he says smirking which earns a loud hiss from me.

"I know you forgot your uniform so I borrowed one from Bimbo she has left for school by the way" he says handing me the neatly ironed uniform.

"Thanks now leave let me dress up" I say.

He turns around and leaves.

I put on the uniform quickly and the socks. Suprisingly it's a fit but I'm taller that Bimbo so the skirt is somewhat short.

There's a knock at my door.

"Come in" I say.

"Did it fit?" Aaron asks as he enters.

"Yeah but the skirt is kinda short" I say taking a look at the mirror.

"I like it like that" he say and I roll my eyes at that.

He's all dressed up so I guess he must be ready.

"Are we ready to go?" I ask.

"Sure" he says opening the door.

I grab my stuff and follow him downstairs and outside then into the car.

As soon as we get in the driver starts the car and the engine comes to life and we hit the road in full speed.

"Are you ready to talk now?" he asks facing me.

"Nope" I say.

"Fine. I really liked my gift by the way" he says.

"Oh that's great to hear" I say.

I got him wireless air pods sure they cost me some cash but it was all for a good cause.

"I know I'm beginning to get annoying but please tell me what's bothering you Naomi" he says giving me a sad look.

"Why do you want to know so bad?" I ask.

"Because my love, your pains are my pains" he says and that earns a smile from me.

Maybe I should just tell him now and get it over with after all he'll be able to do something about it. After some minutes of contemplating I gather all my confidence and I speak up.

"Aaron, Alex is..." I'm cut off by Aaron's phone which is ringing rather loudly.

"Hello" he says.

After a few minutes he hangs up.

"You were saying?" he asks with concern evident in his eyes.

I don't know how but my confidence just disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

"I'll tell you some other time" I say closing my eyes and resting my head on his shoulder.

"Whenever you're ready" he says then he kisses my forehead.
