It's been almost a month since Aiden left. I thought I would be fine; I've lost plenty of people throughout my life, this isn't any different. And when I say "I thought", I mean that i thought it would be fine, but it's not. I can't get Aiden off my mind.
And unfortunately for me, that means I haven't been able to focus on anything else. My grades have been terrible, I haven't been able to have a normal conversation with anyone, my friends and family are worried. I didn't think Aiden was anything special to me...but apparently I was wrong.
I open my eyes, lying flat on my back. From in my bed I could hear my mother downstairs. She was on the phone with someone. Wanting to hear who it was, I crept out of bed towards my door. Slowly opening it, I stepped out into the stairs. Sitting down, I listened.
"No I don't know what's wrong! That's why I'm calling you! What?! No I haven't been giving her anything! You know what?! We're done here! Good day sir!" Hanging up the phone, I watched her walk around the corner. I crawled down the stairs, flopping onto the couch.
"Auuuuuuuugh." I groaned. It's official, the world's gone to shit. And I know what you're thinking. All this for one guy? Well, you're wrong. It's not all about Aiden.
I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. I lift it to my face, reading a message sent from Jesse.
JessBear: hey. Sorry about how things have been. I know that you probably don't want to talk to anyone right now, but I'm here if you do.
nikki96: hey
JessBear: how have you been holding up?
nikki96: eh.
JessBear: well, that's better than nothing
nikki96: ya heh heh
nikki96: tbh tho, it's been a terrible week
nikki96: I feel like it never did truly stop tho
nikki96: they only hid it for a bit cause they were scared of Aiden
JessBear: I'm sure they'll stop soon enough
nikki96: maybe..
nikki96: sorry gtg
JessBear: ttyl
JessBear: and nikki
nikki96: Ye?
JessBear: it'll get better
JessBear: I promise
As I turned off my phone, I hoped that Jesse was right. Lately the teasing has really been getting to me. I remember that one night I came home from school. I walked into the bathroom and... It'll get better Nikki. It will. Eventually.
