The name's Asher Black, yea I know what you're thinking, it's me in the flesh no need to go running around wondering if you're dreaming asking people to pinch you and shi..... "Asher Xavier Black, mind your language, there are children running around you, more precisely our children."
Do you know what that is? Well if you don't I'll tell you, that's my skater girl, my poison Ivy, my..... "Asher, handsome wants to go outside with the kids, can you let him out?"
"Skater girl I'm busy can't he use the doggy door? I'm telling our story....."
"You can just let them read it" Stupid dog, he doesn't know when to stop bugging my life.
But maybe my wife is right, said no man ever, never the less, a man knows not to anger his six month pregnant lady, especially if she has four older brothers.
Besides, you should listen to skater girl and read our story because my lady and three children needs their superhero, according to an old man I met once 'Son never let that smile and glow leave your lady's face, and when you aren't there anymore leave something for her to be happy.'
"Why is it that whenever I try to get closer to you, you always shy away from me?" Aiden asks, hurt dripping from his voice
I look at him and instantly i'm filled with regret and fear.
"You wouldn't understand Aiden." I say pleading with him
"Try me," He challenges.
"Listen," I pause. "I need you to understand that when I push you away, it's because it's the only thing I know how to do anymore."
He opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him, holding her palm up like a white flag. "You need to understand that everyone else has left and my problem," I say raising my voice.
"My problem is that I'm scared,"
"I'm scared of getting too attached to someone, until eventually, that someone has the power to control me. To end my world when they feel like it." Aidens eyes bore into mine but he doesn't say anything.
"Are you attached?" He asks.
I glance away and then back at him nodding "With you? Too much." I say as a tear rolls down my left cheek
"I'm scared that you are going to leave." I whisper as Aiden wraps his arms around me.
