It was pretty much just a normal day at school for Aidan. He had just got out of his last class and was fast walking through the halls, eager to see his girlfriend before she left. He saw Aubrey standing on the side of the hall with a guy talking loudly to her.

That's weird, Aidan thought. He ducked around a wall to listen in on their conversation.

"You are so stupid Aubrey, he yelled, he would never love someone like you!"

Aidan gasped, how could he say that to her???

Aubrey whimpered and when she tried to talk her voice quivered, which is how Aidan knew she was about to start crying.

"H-h-he l-loves me, h-he t-told me h-himself," she manages to stutter.

The guy laughs.

"Your mother told you that you're beautiful and that's a lie," he snickers. "Listen, I don't care what he told you, it doesn't change the fact that the only reason he's dating you is to tell people that he's dating someone. I can assure you that you're just a filler, a sloppy second. No one would ever want to love someone as ugly as you. Not even plastic surgery could fix you," he chuckles and stares her down.

Aubrey broke. Aidan saw her sprint down the hallway and run out the door. He runs after Aubrey, making a mental note to kick the guys ass later on. Aidan runs out the door looking frantically for Aubrey, seeing her run to her truck, jump in and drive away. He makes a dash for his own truck, knowing exactly where she was headed.

As Aidan heads down the road he slightly worries that her parents might be home, before realizing that her parents aren't ever home so he doesn't have to worry. He pulls up at Aubrey's house sprinting up to the door and going in, frantic. He looks around panicking and goes to check her room. What he sees breaks his heart in pieces.

Aubrey's laying on the floor curled up in a ball. Her hair is covering her face as she unsuccessfully tries to hide the fact that she's crying. Her sobs rack her small, thin, body. 

"Aubrey?," Aidan says tenderly.

Aubrey looks up, her normally dancing blue eyes clouded with tears. She smiles at him and tries to wipe her tears before Aidan can see. Aidan smiles at how she's still being strong even when she's broken.

"Y-yes l-love," she attempts to say cheerfully, her smile faltering.

"Don't act like you're fine when we both know you're not," Aidan scolds her tenderly as he crosses the floor, lifting her and setting her on the bed with him.  "I love you so much, he says, you are the most beautiful person in the world"

"I'm not beautiful, she sobbed into his chest, I'm just your sloppy second!"

It enraged Aidan that she even had this thought running through her mind."Look at me", he said sharply. When she kept her head down he lifted her face to his. Aidan stared into her ocean blue eyes as she stared at his own chocolate brown eyes. "I don't care what anyone says or thinks, I know we were meant to be together. I have never felt this way for anyone and I never will other then you. You are beautiful and I don't care if I have to say that to you 200 times a day to make you believe it, I will. I love you more then anything in the whole world."

She cracks a small smile and giggles.

"What's so funny?,"Aidan demanded.

"Well, through out your whole love confession I was wondering when you would finish and kiss me," she replied giggling.

Aidan laughs, relieved that she's happy again and places a small tender kiss on her soft lips. He loves the way she tastes so he happily obliges when she deepens the kiss. 

I want-no I NEED more, Aidan mind screamed as he yanks off her shirt. He looks into Aubrey's eyes and see's how much she wants this, but he also sees the sleepiness in her eyes from crying so much. Aidan sighs, knowing he has to put his needs off a little bit longer for hers. 

"C'mon, he says pulling her into a cuddle, let's go to sleep"

She laughs as she replies,"you're just going to yank off my shirt, leaving me cold to go to sleep?"

"It's okay, he murmurs in her ear cuddling her tighter, I'll keep you warm."

She hums and quickly falls asleep in his arms.

"How could you not know, he whispers, careful not to wake her, how could you not know how truly beautiful you really are?"
