By his side

Chapter 12

Mia's P.O.V

I never thought I'd actually bring someone up here ...okay, I would have someday but never thought that someday would be so soon. Bringing Aaron up here feels right. I don't know why, but it just does.

"Do you come up here often?" Aaron asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Yea. Just when I'm stressed or have to clear my mind," I answered and he nodded "This place is really nice."

"Yeah, I know. It's the place where I can temporarily escape from life." I told him.

Ever since we moved here, I instantly dubbed this spot as my favorite spot of the house. Whenever I am in deep thought, I just come up here it feels better.

"You know, even I have a place to go when I am in a sour mood or stressed. Maybe I'll take you there someday. I've been going there since I was 9." He said, looking up at the sky gazing at the stars.

"I'd love to go there."

"Do you hate anyone or feel disappointed with people who you love too much or something." He asked with a sad tone laced in his voice and looked everywhere but me.

"Umm yeah. I have been disappointed many times but I guess I don't hate them. To be honest, with the time being, I started to understand that you get disappointed with people who are actually close to you cause those are the one's who you trust the most and have expectations from." I answered. I knew that the question he asked so randomly might be connected to him in way. I felt like something or someone is bothering him and being  a best friend, I wanted to help him but I didn't want to pressure him. I wanted to ask him so badly if anything was wrong or something but I knew that this wasn't the correct time.

"Hmm. I wish life was simple, Mia." He said looking straight in my eyes. His deep blue orbs piercing in mine and I could see that there were so many emotions hidden in those eyes that I couldn't figure out.

"Well, nothing is simple but you can turn some difficult situations into simple ones and there is only one option for it, which is to fight and be optimistic no matter what. Fight for yourself, that's it." I said giving him a small smile and he nodded.

None of us spoke anything and just fell into a comfortable silence. Honestly, there wasn't a need to speak. Although we were silent, it was as if we understood everything that we wanted to talk or tell each other.

This is what I was talking about earlier. Being up here with Aaron feels right. It feels so good whenever I talk with Aaron. I feel free, comfortable, it's like both of us understand each other so well. I don't know a single person who I got close and comfortable with, in such a short period of time. I never opened up like this even with my ex-boyfriends lol. I don't how I managed it to happen with Aaron.

"There is one more person you feel comfortable with, 'your DUMMY'" My subconscious chimed in the back of my head.

My eyes grew wide as I realized that I feel the same way whenever I talk to him, I feel the same comfort, I feel the same warmth, I feel free, I feel confident just like the way I feel whenever I'm spending time and talking with Aaron. The difference is Aaron is my best friend. I know him...but about Mr. Artist, I know nothing. I know I am saying this for the hundredth time now but well, I don't even know his name for crying out loud. I also dont know if I will feel the same way when I meet him.  And...And...

"So, mind sharing the monologue you were having in your mind for straight five minutes?" Aaron said, poking my shoulder, giving my brain a break from excessive thinking that I was doing.

"I was just thinking about, you know ...Uh, about him. Mr. Artist" I said slightly blushing.

"Thought so," he said chuckling and giving my shoulder a slight bump, "What about him tho?".
