Soulmates // Aidan Gallagher

12 ~ nightmare

'Okay so..' Y/n started 'The plan.'.

Aidan finished chewing the food in his mouth and send y/n a frown 'Plan..'.

A chuckle escaped y/n her mouth as he stared at the boy in front of her 'The plan to reunite my teacher and..'

'Ed.' He finished for her with a playful smile.

'So are we doing this together now?' Y/n slightly bit her lip as she kept staring at Aidan 'Now that we know each other.'

Aidan's smile widened as y/n mentioned the word 'together' and he nodded in agreement 'Of course!'

'So we're going up to his house right?' He asked, wondering whether he had remembered it correctly.

'Yes.' Y/n answered 'We'll pretend that we're doing this project for school about policemen. We asked the police bureau for information for our project and they send us to Ed.'

'Are you sure that your parents are okay with you going with us?' Y/n asked Aidan as they both walked towards y/n's parents.

Y/n had called her parents to go home, with Aidan so they could start their plan tomorrow already.

'Yes they are.' Aidan answered.

He smiled kindly as they arrived at the parking where y/n her family's car had been parked. Y/n's parents stood there waiting and y/n could see her mom's face lightning up when she saw Aidan and y/n arriving.

They had been informed that Aidan and y/n wanted to spend more time together and y/n her mom had suggested that he stayed the night with them.

Since that was absolutely perfect for the plan, they accepted immediately. Aidan his parents were also okay with it. Both y/n and Aidan their parents had talked a while and had gotten to know each other.

All of them seemed to get along pretty well and that's probably why Aidan's parents accepted that their son could stay with y/n's family for the night.

'Don't do anything stupid!' Aidan's mom had joked.

When that had gotten mentioned, y/n had felt really awkward. Of course they wouldn't.

'Oh I'm so glad that y/n has gotten a soulmate as kind and handsome as you.' Y/n her mom said as they drove to their home.

'Thank you miss.' Aidan answered shyly.

'Don't call me miss.' Y/n's mom chuckled 'Call me y/mom's/n.'

Y/n shivered and sweated immensely. Her breathing was getting faster within seconds and she kept rolling and turning in her bed.

'Are you okay?' Aidan asked quietly as all this had woken him up.

There was no reply and with the very tired feeling he had, Aidan his eyes closed again.

Suddenly y/n got abruptly shaken awake by her own and she sat up straight. She layed her hand upon her forehead and realised she had been sweating a lot.

'What happened?' Aidan asked as he still was half asleep.

'Just a nightmare..' Y/n tried to slow down her breathing but failed horribly.

They were both sleeping in y/n's room, although not together. Aidan was sleeping on an air mattress next to y/n her bed.

Her answer made sure Aidan was fully awake and he also sat up straight 'Are you okay y/n?'

Y/n realised lying had no sense and she let out a gasp as she had been trying to keep her tears in after waking up from her nightmare.

It did not take long for Aidan to stand up and walk towards her bed. 'What happened in the nightmare?'

'My friend..' Y/n wiped a tear away as she looked down, not wanting Aidan to see how broken over the damn nightmare she actually was.

Aidan sat down next to the crying girl and he took her in his arms. Not having energy, y/n gave in immediately and continued sobbing into his chest.

'My friend and I had a fight a while ago..' Y/n started as she felt the heat of Aidan's body warm her up 'It was about our soulmates. She didn't trust you. She wanted to protect me. It was the last time we spoke.'

'I talked to her.. In my nightmare.' She continued and Aidan listened 'She got so mad.'

Y/n sobbed and Aidan took her even more in his arms. 'It's okay.' He whispered softly.

'I'm here.' Aidan stroke her hair softly 'And you can talk to her tomorrow, okay? Make things right?'

'Make things right..' She repeated his sentence.

The tiredness took over y/n her body and she felt her eyes closing. 'Do you want to hold me?'

Aidan understood that she needed his comfort and now that they knew and met each other, he was always going to make sure she felt good.

At least he'd do everything for that.

'Of course.' He answered as he took her blanket and layed it carefully upon both of them.

He tucked her in and he putted his arms around her waist so she layed comfortable.

It didn't take long before he could hear y/n her soft breaths which were calmer now. She hadden fallen asleep. 'Goodnight.' He whispered softly and he closed his eyes.
