My Best Mistake ✔︎

Chapter 7

I put my phone down and close my eyes hoping to get some sleep.

My peace is ruined a few minutes later when I hear thuds coming from my window.

I quickly grab my table lamp and hold it in my hand ready to attack whoever is out there.

If the person seems strong I'm not even gonna try to fight them.

In my opinion, getting kidnapped doesn't seem as bad as getting abused in this hell hole everyday anymore, so even if I do infact get kidnapped, I don't think it's gonna be that ba-

My thoughts get rudely interrupted by an extremely loud thud.

Nevermind I take back everything I said. I would much rather stay in this hell hole then to get kidnapped.

"Let me in!" I hear the kidnapper say.

"No! If you want ransom money then go find another kid cause trust me you won't get any money from my parents." I say hoping they go away.

"Seriously Lee? You really have a problem with kidnappers." The person says.

Wait Lee?

"Aaron? What are you doing here?" I ask.

"Can you just let me In first?" He asks impatiently.

"Alright, alright just hang on for a bit." I say knowing it's gonna be hard to get to my window.

I struggle getting up and actually fall back twice but manage to get to the window.

I unlock it for him and he immediately jumps in.

"What took you so long?" He asks.

"Um hello? I'm sick remember."

"Oh yeah, right. How are you doing by the way?" He asks.

"Not good so I won't be coming school tomorrow either."

"Yeah I saw, you texted me. Well since you aren't going school tomorrow how about we watch a movie?" He asks.

"Yeah sure. Let me switch on my TV really quickly." I say and walk to the switch and turn it on.

I hand the remote to Aaron and he puts on netflix and starts browsing for a movie.

The only way I even have Netflix right now is thanks to my brother who pays for it.

I lock my room before slowly but carefully placing myself beside him.

I by mistakely move in a way I shouldn't move and my whole body stings in pain causing me to let out a hiss.

"Are you okay?" Aaron asks quickly turning to me.

"Yeah, you see I fell off of my bed today so I kinda hurt myself." I let out a breathless laugh.

"Are you sure?" He questions unconvinced.

"Yep one hundred percent." I give him a smile that pops my dimples.

He nods them continues browsing till he stops and looks at me.

"Shall we watch 'Through my window'?" He asks.

"Hell yeah! That is one of my favourite movies." I say with a big smile on my face.

The Netflix intro blares and we fall into complete silence.

I just can't wait to see my love, Ares Hidalgo.

"Oh and I brought some snacks." He says taking out a paper bag full of snacks

"You are amazing I could just kiss you right now."

"Then do it." He smirks.

I sigh in response and focus on the movie instead.

***

The movie is almost over now and my eyelids feel heavy. I am so close to just falling asleep.

I look up at Aaron as I am laying on his lap and he is fast asleep.

I slowly get up from my position and turn off the movie. I look at my bed and it's filled with wrappers of snacks and chocolates.

Eh I'll just clean it tomorrow.

I brush of the wrappers and they all fall to the floor.

I turn off my table lamp and get into a comfortable sleeping position.

I think I'll finally get some sleep.

I close my eyes and almost immediately fall asleep.
