Chapter 17
A brand new lifeDongho sighed handing Aiden over to A.J “Hold him, my legs are numb…”
A.J laid Aiden head on his shoulder, looking at the teen face
“So how did you know?”
“…”
“A.J”
“….”
“A.J??”
“…”
“A.J!!”
“Huh?”
“I said, ‘how did you know where they were?’”
“I overheard Jung-min on the phone talking to a girl saying ‘I’ll see you there baby, remember the club at seven’”
A.J said shifting slightly
“Aiden’s gonna think it was all a dream…”
“Maybe” Dongho said, looking at Aiden “He’s gonna be pissed….maybe I should warn the coaches tomorrow….Aiden will sure take his anger out on the ball”
“I feel bad for you”
“Why?”
“Because after school you’re stuck…with him”
“True…I’ll die before I get home…” Dongho whined.
When the bus stopped the two got off
“Where to?”
“I guess Eli’s house, I don’t know if Aiden has the keys….unless you feel like climbing through his window”
“And why do you sneak into Aiden’s room?”
“I don’t!” Dongho defended himself
“Explain yourself!”
“Remember when I took Aiden home from the pizza parlor?”
“Mhmm…”
“Well, he forgot his keys and we had to climb in through his window”
“I see, so your house it-”
“Hold on….hey hyung, I’m heading ho- oh…you and Kevin are home…WHATDDA MEAN ‘SAY WITH A FRIEND FOR NOW’?! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROU-”
“Don’t tell them about Aiden, at least not yet…” A.J said making Dongho stop mid-sentence
“E-Eh? Nothing, have fun with your date, message me when you guys are heading to the Woo’s house…okay….ne, ne…bye”
“Come on, let’s go through the window” Dongho rolled his eyes and hopped over the fence
“I’m over-AH!” he yelled as a body fell into his arms and caused them to fall
“Nice catch!” A.J chuckled landing beside the fallen teenagers, Aiden yawns loudly and cuddles closer to Dongho, resting his head in the crock of his neck
“That was close…come on let’s hurry” he whispered standing, carrying Aiden.
When they finally got into the house A.J went down stairs and got some food but froze when he saw two figures on the couch
“Sehun did you hear something?”
“Ne Luhan…”
The two turned and saw A.J
They all stared at one another before they all screaming at the same time
“What happened?!” Dongho yells making everyone in the room stop
“Who are you?!” Sehun yelled, holding onto Luhan
“We’re Aiden’s friends, and you?”
“We’re Hyung-hwa’s brothers….”
“W-What’s with all the yelling??” Aiden’s voice came from the stairs, A.J walked partly up the stairs
“Don’t worry, your uncle’s brothers just freaked out; how are you feeling?”
“I-It hu-urts…” Aiden croaked, feeling weak; A.J climbed the rest of the way and hugged the teen
Aiden wraps his legs around the elder’s waist and held on as he walked down the stairs slowly.
Dongho watched then sat on the love seat and motioned A.J to hand Aiden to him, when Aiden was in his lap he hugged him
“He’s not worth your tears Aiden…don’t cry” he said feeling hot tears soak his t-shirt
“Dongho is right…” A.J said rubbing the younger’s arm
“What happened?” the Chinese brothers asked; A.J told them what happened while Dongho took Aiden to the kitchen to feed him.
Dongho checked every so often to see Aiden sitting at the table silently, but when he’d turn around again and continue, he would hear a soft sob or the teen sniffling
Scratching the no existent itch on his head, he looked down at the plate with a simple sandwich “A-Aiden are you hungry?” he asks, turning
The younger nodded “Y-Yes…”
“Here, it’s the only thing I know how to make, so…ta-da~?” he says, making a pose
Aiden smiled slightly, a soft laugh escaping from his lips
“Thank you”
Dongho smiled when the latter took a bite, “Is it good?”
“Ne it is-” Aiden stopped mid-sentence, looking at Dongho; mainly his smile
When the elder realizes he frowns, going back to the cold version
“Good, I’ll be in the living room…” he escaped quickly.
_Aiden’s POV_
The sandwich was really good, even better than Vinnie’s
“Is it good?”
“Ne it is-” I stopped, he’s smiling
To me??
I like his smile, he looks cute…
My heart began to beat faster
When he noticed me staring he put a frown on again, “Good, I’ll be in the living room…” and he just left.
I breathe out and look at the sandwich and eat the rest slowly
When I was done and sighed and put the plate in the sick, I walked out to the living room and I saw Luhan and Sehun; I sit between them and caught no sight of Dongho or A.J
“Where are they?”
“Oh they went to your room to look for blankets an-” I didn’t stay to hear the rest because I was running up the stairs, and open my door to see them laying on my bed
“What are you guys doing in my room??”
“Waiting for you to show us where the blankets and such are…A.J won’t let me look…”
Mentally sighing in relief I go into my closet and move all my stuff and got the necessary items and place them on the ground
“Here…” I said “So you guys are staying the night?”
“Of course, we are not leaving you alone”
“Thank you” I said with a smile then jump, landing on them
“Ow!”
“Yah! That was that for?!”
“Oh hush; I’m not crushing you guys am I??”
“Maybe…” they mumble and I hit one with my leg and the other with my hand, laughing when they whine again.
At some point in the night all three of us lay on my bed, A.J and I talked most of the time while Dongho listened
They helped me forget about the events from earlier
Looking over at the clock I noticed it was 11: 45
“We should be going to bed…We have to get up early”
“Ne…” A.J says, moving to his sleeping bag
“Good night Vinnie!” I yelled and he yelled back
“If I so much hear something from your room I am coming in with a bat!”
“Nothing will happen! Aish!” Eli yelled and I laugh softly and lay down on my bed and yawn
“Good night you guys” I sung softly and started to fall asleep.
I have amazing friends
I just hope Sungmin doesn’t hit Jung-min first; because I get first hit tomorrow…if he tries to talk to me
He better be ready for an angry Woo on his …
Wait…did I just say that….good thing Kevin can’t read my mind
Hehehe….time to sleep!
