VI

Aronaj POV

I woke up earlier than usual so I got up and decided to go cook breakfast I saw Cameron come out of his room so I said "Morning, I'm sorry I fell asleep on you yesterday it's just that yesterday was tiresome." He looked at me saying "It's okay Aronaj." I said "How about I teach you how to cook something simple?" He looked at me worried "Are you sure you want to do that?"I cut him off saying "Come with me sir I'm teaching you."Dragging him to the kitchen by his hand with determination in my little eyes.

When we got there I fixed my glasses and then took out the ingredients today I'm making waffles and omelets as that's really simple. I told him and put everything I needed in front of me on the island. Soon I started to explain  each step telling him facts here and there as it was going really good.

I of course let him stir and a few other things as he asked a few questions here and there.

Soon I finished and asked him to help me give them their food as most likely they will eat in there rooms.

We got the little cart and started to give out food Rose and Ender were hanging out in Rose's bedroom. So I gave my two beautiful besties their food talked to them then walked out to Alec his food. Alec was reading as usual so he put down his book calmly got his food started to eat after we all exchanged words.

Cameron and I decided to eat next to the fire it has a really nice warmth. I slightly shivered as I was cold despite having my fan on year-round. Cameron and I ate in a comfortable silence as we weren't awkward with each other surprisingly even with the awkward moments. I finished first so I washed the dishes I used then went to my room putting my Bluetooth headphones in and started to listen to "Toxic by Britney Spears" and started to dance around my room having fun as I packed my things up as tonight we are leaving this place.

I afterward choose an outfit for my calm day.

I danced around my bedroom having fun and sing acting like I had an audience which made me feel good. The music was controlling my movements and making me feel the rush of performing. I smiled and kept going acting like the crowd loved my performance as I was dancing I got a notification from the school saying they are opening back up.

I was excited so I called Kaden on FaceTime as the phone rung it soon picked up and it was both Kaden and Aaron answer so I said "I'm not bothering you guys am I? Please be honest with me."Letting my insecurity show though and in my face. Aaron looked at me and said "No, we were just about to call you."I asked again "Are you sure?" Then they both nodded when Kaden said "Hey Aronaj are you okay?" I looked down then saying "Well kinda." Aaron asked "Why do you feel bothersome?" I answered honestly "Well I was abandoned in my childhood as my father ran in and out of my life constantly. In that time he promised me numerous things but lied to me so I felt like a burden at a young age. Which made me extremely independent from childhood and that's why I sometimes feel bothersome. Also giving me a fear of questions and makes me hate to ask for help or anything."

I smiled with tears rolling down my face and looked at them and they asked "Laine do you need to vent?" I nodded and I confessed everything "I'm a depressed, anxious, ADHD kid who feels worthless and lonely at times. I feel empty I feel like I can't be sad because I want no one to worry. I have voices in my head talking shit about me and I hate it. I can't sleep some nights because I feel like I don't deserve to do anything." I cried hard as I cried Rose and Ender walked in.

Asking what's wrong and I just got overwhelmed and ran into the bathroom locking the door crying my heart out. They tried to get in but I screamed "Leave me alone please!" And "I'm fine!" Soon they left the door and I calmed down after about 30 minutes of crying nonstop. I got off the bathroom floor and looked at myself and I started crying again.

I opened the door to see Cameron outside he looked at me worried and I just ran to hug him.

I hugged his waist with a few tears coming down my face and I told him how I felt about my self and all he did was comfort me and then told me after siting me on my bed "Aronaj Laine Jones you are none of the things you've just said and I know that as your a great person as you helped me for the better." I sniffed asking "How did I do that?" He responds "You've made me happier as a person and more talkative." I smiled saying "Thank you so much!" I hugged him again this time more sincere .

Soon I got me some juice and then I sat down looking blankly.

My friends asked what happened to me from Aaron and Kaden also Cameron finding out everything. They were worried so they just got me a naproxen to help me as they knew I had a headache. They gave me the pill and I lied down saying I want to take a nap so I took a nap on the couch.

Rose POV

I was worried about my baby girl as when she gets like this it's not pretty and I can tell when I saw she look blankly she's broken as her eyes showed it also the brown girl was usual smiling but we know that she is emotional and sensitive no matter how strong she acts. She's a soft baby that is just her but I know she's a strong girl as she deals with a lot I can tell.

I about to go check on her when I saw that Cameron was already in there with her looking at her every so often with a worried face. I could tell that he cared for her and it wasn't just a normal caring look it was a loving caring look. He looked like a worried boyfriend taking care of his girlfriend who wasn't feeling well.

I could tell that he loved her and it's been a while since he has.

I kinda peeped it but I didn't want to seem weird. As I can just feel when people have crushes I've been if doing it since middle school. I smiled then went off to text my friend Kane.

Cameron POV

I was sitting in my room when I decided to get a glass of water and check on Aronaj. So I walked to the kitchen and put some ice cubes in a tall glass cup then put some water inside. I walked to the living room sat my water on the table then move some of her curly hair out her cute face.

I sat in a chair near her wondering: Why does she feel this way? Who hurts her? Has she done this a lot? Is she going to be okay?"I have millions of questions going through my head but I knew I should calm down because it's not going to help to stress.

We are leaving today so I just walked upstairs and started to pack my things.

Aronaj POV

I woke up with a headache seeing it's almost time to go. So I went upstairs as I remembered everything that happened today I felt drained but I still managed to get to my room and get my things. I was about to carry them downstairs when Alec and Cameron came Alec picked me up over his shoulder while Kameron grabbed my bags. I wanted to struggle but at this point I'm mentally and physically tired so I let it be.

Alec sat me down saying "AJ get in the car." I listen he was the oldest and most mature out of all of us. He was also very fatherly and dominate giving you a big brother or daddy vibes. I turned the cold air all the way up to were I was sitting as I was still tired.

They made sure they got everything then everyone got in the car Alec and Rose are in the very front as Alec was driving. Then Ender is in the middle by herself listening to music. Lastly, Cameron and I were in the very back I had my head against the window trying to fall asleep but my headache wouldn't let me as it was uncomfortable. While Cameron was just playing a game on his phone.

I decided to lay in his lap were his hoodie came down into his lap. I looked at him asking first "Hey Cameron could I lay in your lap I'm tired?"His face turns a little red as he said "Y-yes you can." I pulled up the hood on my hoodie put my fluffy blanket over my body and fell asleep as he played with my hair.

3rd person

The car of young adults was quiet as the calm mixed boy was calmly driving as the cool air from the vents and cracked window blew in his face.

The older girl beside him was calmly playing on her phone and going through social media calmly smiling as she read positive messages that made her feel good.

A younger girl in the middle let her music flow to her ears as she calm thought of story ideas which were kinda hard to find as writer's block can take away time so she keeps calm and read a story to get rid of her worries.

Then there was a couple in the back a sleepily brown girl let the sunshine on her beautiful curly letting her natural highlights shine.

While the boy couldn't help but stare at the girl he'd hoped would be his he simply just loved her for a long time he hoped it happened her truly hoped it did but took time for he never knew if she had the same feelings as his.

All they have is a hope all of them hate to brag but this is the strongest friendship that could ever be had.

So they arrived home

Aronaj POV

I was woken up by a slight push and I looked around to see that I'm in Cameron's apartment I asked "How did I get here and where is everyone?" He explained "We got here and then we started getting everything out of the car as we had got here as Alec was going to drive Rose and Ender. While you said you'd stay here for a while then we brought your things inside of my apartment. You at that point walked to my bedroom and went to sleep."I looked down saying "I must have been half asleep when I did those things as I don't remember any of that."

I just got up asking what time is it he said "7:00 am you slept the whole yesterday away." I just nodded saying "I'm sorry if I was bothersome to you." He said to me "You'll never be bothersome to me."With a little confidence in his voice as he said it in a shy way I just smiled ruffling his hair.

I then said, "Take a warm shower you look, tense Love?" He turned red and went to shower taking all the things he needed. I went to the kitchen making me some ramen when there was a knock on the door so I went to it and saw a woman who said: "You must be Cameron's girlfriend because your beautiful." I was going to say "I'm not his-" she looked at me saying "Don't deny it I see that you love him."

I just looked at her when she handed me something saying "3 days" I nodded then closed the door going to the living room to read the papers saying the apartment complex is being sold to a company and the apartment needs to be evacuated as it's being distorted.

I calmly made my food then wait for him to come out sliding him the paperwork then saying "You have to move out because the owner needs to sell this place." He looked shocked and worried so I then said "Good news you can move in with me as it's lonely in my apartment."He looked at me to ask "Are you sure that's a big choice to make and that's your personal space so it might bother you and-" I cut him off dangling a spare key saying "I want you to and I don't mind as your not problematic and you'd be a good roommate I can feel it plus I'm closer to the university."

He nodded then we packed up his things which he didn't have too much of as most of the appliances came with the place. We fitted all of his things in the car then we turned in his key afterward leaving to my home. We unpacked his things ate then putting everything away.

We lastly ate chicken we got an order to the place and we went to bed.
