Selfie Trauma

Chapter 5

Aiden's POV

I have defined myself as the most worthless and heartless person ever.

When I saw her crying, my heart was shattered. Why would I say something like that to a girl I like?

When she sent me out of her house, I needed to drown my sorrows away. So I went to the best club in town, Cherry. My whore of a girlfriend came with me.

I drank so much, I didn't even know how I got home.

I woke up the next morning to find a girl beside me on my bed. I quickly removed the blanket wrapped around the both of us and relaxed in relief when I saw that she was still putting on her clothes.

"Summer. Summer, wake up"I said and got up, hurriedly.

I winced as my head was pounding severely. I poured a glass of water from the night stand and drank it.

Summer groaned. She sat up and rested on the headstand.

"Morning, babe. What was wrong with you, yesterday? You were so messed up and you drank so much. Luckily, I was there for you"she said, smirking and flipping her hair back.

"Thanks. I hope...did we....did anything happen last night?"I said, clearing my throat. Just to be sure.

"No. Nothing happened. I made a move but you refused"she said, shrugging.

"Ok. Let me go get some aspirin for myself"I said turning to leave.

"Why were you calling Scarlet's name yesterday and saying you were sorry?"Summer blurted.

I froze and turned around sharply.

"What did you say?"I said.

"What? Did I stutter?"she said raising an eyebrow.

"I was calling her name. Oh shit. What has she done to me?"I said, running downstairs with Summer following shortly behind.

I found my phone in my jacket pocket on the couch and I called her.

Scarlet's POV

My alarm rang, indicating that it was 9:00. On a Saturday. I turned it off and went back to sleep.

Nice. Lazy Saturday.

My head was hurting so much. I cried so much yesterday that my eyes were bloodshot red.

Just then my phone started ringing. I groaned and looked at the caller ID. I couldn't see it because my head was hurting and I answered.

"Hello. Who's this?"I said holding my head.

Crying so much is the cause of my head aching right now.

"Scarlet, is that you? I'm so sorry about what happened yesterday. I swear it wasn't my fault. I was so stupid to believe....."

I hung up. Aiden wasn't going to bring the worst out of me. He called me again. Five times. Then he gave up.

I made my way downstairs to the kitchen quietly so I won't wake either Jason or mom up. I didn't want them to see me in this condition. I don't even remember the last time I cried. Probably two years ago.

I sighed as I gulped down the aspirin.

"Did you get a hangover?"someone said from behind me, making me jump out of fear.

"Jay! Why did you scare my that way?"I said, putting my hand on my chest.

"I just asked a question. How's that scary?"he shrugged and then he stared into my eyes. "Carl, is there a problem? And were you crying?"he asked, worriedly, coming closer to me.
