Double Trouble

Chapter Seven: Too rough to do anything

I’m at home and Rob’s taken the day off to make sure I am fine. He has been waiting on me by hand and foot all morning and I feel bad about it but I can barley do anything myself. Rob is worried and said if I am not feeling better by this evening he is making me take tomorrow off too.

 I have nothing to look forward to at school. Paul and Vicky probably don’t want to speak to me again and Austin well that’s defiantly a lost course for now. I wish he would just open up to me. I can’t believe he had completely blocked me out of his dreams. I have had no dreams of him as I slept all last night and a lot of this morning.

 I miss him. As much as the dreams are beginning to scare me I still can’t help but miss Austin. Seeing him in front of me and I want to know if he is scared, if he saw the glimpse of a man in a white coat. I have no idea why it scares me but there is something about it that makes me want to run and hide.

 I wish Rose was here. I like Rob now and we get along but I still hate him slightly for leaving me waiting outside school in the rain and cold and he can never match up to Rose, even if he is trying his best. I do appreciate that a lot more than I thought I would ever have though.  

 I wouldn’t tell her the truth. Would she even believe me? I don’t know but I’ve kept this a secret from everyone and the only person I can speak to about this is Austin and somehow I am going to speak to him again even if he don’t want me to.

 “Aiden are you alright?” asked Rob as he came into my room holding a bowl of soup and a glass of water on a tray. I noticed I had tears dripping down my face. I wiped them away and smiled at him.

 “I am fine,” I lied to him.

 He placed the food on my bedside table and sat down on the chair next to my bed. “I know we don’t know each other as well as I would like us to be but if you need someone to talk to. I am here,” he said softly.

 I looked at him. I couldn’t tell him about my dreams but I could ask him for some advice on something and since Rose is not here, Rob will have to do. “I got into a little bit of a fight with my new friends and I don’t know what to do,” I said to him.

 “What was this fight about?” asked Rob.

 I thought hard before I answered him. “I got angry for now reason. I just snapped,” I said.

 “If there your true friends they will forgive you as long as you are sorry. They will understand.”

“You really think so?” I asked him.

“I do Aiden. I need to ask you something. Do you know why you passed out?” he asked me.

 “I was just sitting on the wall, thinking. One moment I was on the wall and next I felt pain and I blacked out,” I said.

 “Have you been eating enough?” Rob asked.

 “I think so,” I said to him softly.

 He nodded to me and hinted at me to eat my food. He passed me the tray placing it on my lap before he walked towards the door. “Rob,” I called to him.

 “Yes Aiden do you need anything else?” he asked.

 “No I am fine. It’s just I want to say….thank you,” I said gently.

 “You’re welcome,” he said before he left me in my room in silence. I began to eat my food feeling slightly more close to Rob now. I miss Rose a lot still, I still have all the problems with Austin but his words had comforted me for now.

 The time I finished eating I began to feel drained again and as Rob took my tray away I fell back to sleep. I found myself standing on a edge of a cliff looking down at a waterfall below. I remember going here once. I have no idea why. It’s a distant memory of my past which I hate to reopen. Why am I here?

 “Have you been here before?” I heard Austin’s voice from behind me.

 I turned around to find him behind me. “I thought you didn’t want to talk to me again,” I said to him.

 “I don’t. However I need to know if you have seen this place before,” he asked me again.

 “I have. It’s a memory I don’t like to reopen often.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know if I can tell you that!” I snapped at him. I regretted it straight away. I don’t want to act like him and keep secrets and not to open up. Austin is the only one who can know how I feel. I need him to talk to me about this and since he is talking to me snapping at him should be the last thing I should be doing but I responded without thinking, letting my anger get the better of me yet again.

 Austin looked down at his feet. My words clearly hurt him. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to sound rude. It’s just personal that’s all,” I said softly to him.

 “No it’s my fault. How can I expect you to tell me things if I tell you to leave me alone,” said Austin.

 As I went to speak back to him it all vanished and I woke suddenly finding Rob holding onto me. I found myself shaking badly to the extreme my covers had fallen of the bed. Rob steadied me before he passed me a glass and helped me to take two tablets.

 “Aiden,” he whispered.

“I’m alright now,” I said to him.

 “You’re not going to school tomorrow,” said Rob. I nodded to him not complaining. I had no idea why but I felt too rough to do anything right now including school or trying to make up with Paul and Vicky.
