Trying to Make it Better
"I'll be there in about half an hour. Don't let him do anything stupid....Yeah, I'll see you there....Okay...Bye."
I ended the call. I called Garroth to tell him that I would be heading over to his house later to talk with Aaron. I did want Aaron to get anymore worried about whatever he thought he did to me. Also, it would look bad if I just let him worry without talking to him about what actually happened.
I walked over to my closet and picked out a random outfit.(outfit up top) I was planning to hang out with Zane after I was done with the whole Aaron problem. Zane was a genuinely nice person. I really don't understand how the others say otherwise. Even his own brother told me that Zane was not a very nice person. However, I think he's a great person and that his clothes are awesome. He agreed to take me shopping with him someday.
I walked into the restroom to shower. I carried my clothes to the bathroom with me and placed them on counter next to the sink. I took off my pjs, turned on the shower and stepped in.
~~~~~~after the shower~~~~~~~~~
I stepped out of the shower and dried my self off with a towel. I quickly got dressed and dried my hair. I applied some lip gloss and walked out of the bathroom.
I grabbed my phone and my keys from my bedside table. I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my black bag. I put my keys in one of the small pockets of the bag and walked downstairs. I went into the kitchen and ate my breakfast.(aka a cupcake and a cup of water) When I was done, I put my cup in the sink and walked outside. After I locked my door, I headed to Garroth's house. It was only twenty minutes away so it wasn't too far.
As I was walking, my phone began to ring. It was a call from Aphmau. I decided to ignore it. Don't get me wrong, I hang out with Aphmau and all but...she gets annoying sometimes. She's overly nice and she's too friendly. It's nice to talk to her sometimes but then it gets annoying.
As I continued to walk, I felt my phone Ding so I checked it. Aphmau sent me a text.
Hey! Just making sure you're okay. I hope you called or at least texted Aaron already. He seemed really worried. Do you want to hang out later?
~Aphmau
I rolled my eyes at the text. I really don't want to hang out with her today. Plus, I have plans with Zane after I visit Garroth. I decided to text her back.
Hello Aphmau. Actually I'm on my way to go see Aaron. Anyway, I can't hang out today. I have plans. Maybe some other day we could hang out.
~Y/n
Hopefully she stops bothering me now. I continue my walk to Garroth's house. My phone starts to ring again. This time it's a call from Garroth. I answer it.
"Hey Y/n. I'm glad you answered."
"Ok. So what happened? Why'd you call?"
"Just to tell you that when you get to my gate, press the small square button on the screen. Someone should answer. Most likely it'll be my mum. Just tell her that you're there to see me. She'll let you in right away."
"Okay. I'll do that. Bye Garroth."
"Bye Y/n. See ya soon."
I hung up.
~~~Timeskip to Garroth's house~~~
I finally made it. Garroth's house isn't too far but I'm lazy. I'm tired. I walk over to Garroth's gate screen and press the square button like he said. There was a small beep and a lady's voice was heard.
"Hello, this is the Ro'meave residence. How may I help you?"
"Oh, ummm, I'm Y/n. I'm here to see Garroth."
"Oh! How lovely! Come on in Sweety!"
The gates opened. I walked through them and they started to close again. I began to walk up the flower decorated path up the hill. It was really beautiful. Finally, I reached the front door. I was about to knock on the door when it opened. Standing in front of me was a tall lady with long hair. She was smiling and holding a plate of cupcakes.
"Welcome! Do you a cupcake?"
I immediately nodded and took three. I took a bite out of one and and it was better than I expected. It was so delicious. I've never tasted a cupcake as delicious as this one.
The lady must have noticed my expression because she giggled.
"You're just like my little Zu-Zu. He can never have enough of these. Come on in Sweetheart."
She gestured me inside. As I walked in I heard someone walk downstairs. It was Garroth. He didn't look happy. In fact, he looked annoyed. I wonder why. He walked over to me and tried to grab my hand. I quickly moved out of the way. He looked at me confused but still annoyed.
"Umm, Ms. Ro'meave? Is it okay if Garroth and I hang out in his room?" I asked. I didn't want to be rude and just walk into his room without asking his mom first.
"Of course, Sweetheart! Have fun! Don't do anything Beyonce wouldn't do!"
With that, she walked back into the kitchen. I looked at Garroth and he led me up the stairs. He took me to his room. When we got there he opened the door and let me in. I noticed a person sitting on a chair looking out the window. I recognized the person as Aaron.
I slowly walked behind him.
"Hey Aaron."
"Garroth, I'm not in the mood. Please take your horrible Y/n impersonation away and leave me alone."
"Okay. Rude. I come all the way over here to apologize for my harsh attitude but instead I am insulted. How rude."
Aaron turned around and looked at me. His eyes widened. I could see the worry and concern being replaced by happiness and relief. I guess apologizing was the right thing to do.
"Y/n! I'm so sorry for what I did last night. I'm sorry for touching your arm. I should have asked if you were okay with physical contact. I'm truly sorry Y/n. I don't want to do anything that can cause us to not be friends anymore. I'm really sorry Y/n."
"It's okay Aaron. But it's me who should be apologizing. I should have told you what I wasn't comfortable with. I shouldn't have reacted that way either. The way I reacted was harsh and mean. I apologize for making you worry. I wasn't responding to your calls and texts because I fell asleep. After I stormed off, I ran home and slept. I'm sorry for what I made you go through."
Aaron slowly shook his head and smiled at me.
"How about we were both wrong. Me for doing something I wasn't supposed to and you for being sort of harsh. Deal?"
I gave him a small smile and nodded.
"Deal."
Aaron smiled bigger and looked at me. I looked back at him. He seems like a nice person. I feel like I can trust him and the others. They are nice people and are never mean to me. Or so I thought.
Almost immediately as I thought that. Things went down hill.
"Enough of this crap."
Aaron and I turned around to look at Garroth. He looked very annoyed. Especially at me.
He walked up to me slowly.
"I have a feeling that you haven't been quite as honest or open as we have been to you." He took a step forward and I took a step back.
"You know, you never told us about yourself. Why you live alone. Where your parents are. Why you never talked to anyone." He took three steps forward. I walked backwards. He kept walking forward until he cornered me.
I started to breath hard. My heart started to speed up. And not in a good way. My head started pounding but I willed myself not to cry. Horrible memories of my father abusing me poured into my mind. I remembered the bruises I would end up with. Tears threatened to fall but I wouldn't let them.
"So, where IS your family? Do you even have one? Why don't you liked physical contact, huh?"
He came closer and put a hand on my shoulder. It felt like fire on my skin. Anger began to rise inside of me as I heard him talk about my family's whereabouts. He has no right to ask me about my personal life.
I pushed him off of me. I was shaking with anger and fear. I felt like I lost control of myself. I punched his face and kicked him in the stomach.
"You have no right. You have no right to ask me about them. I don't know what you are so mad about. It's not like if you are involved in any way. You are not part of my life so stay out of it."
I ran out of the room and went straight for the stairs. However, I felt something grab onto my bag. I turned around and saw Garroth grabbing my bag.
"Y/n! Wait! I'm sorry. I wasn't mad. I just wanted to know more about you."
"Oh yeah. And you decided that a good way of doing that was by yelling at me and torturing me. You know what? I don't ever want to see you again. Stay away from me. Tell the others I don't want to see them either. It's best if I just stop seeing you guys."
With that, I pulled by bag away from Garroth and continued running down the stairs. As I reached the bottom, I saw Mrs. Ro'meave standing there holding a plate of cupcakes. Normally, I would grab all of them but this time I wasn't in the mood.
"It was a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Ro'meave . I'm leaving but I hope to see you soon." It was a lie but it would be rude to just tell her I would prefer to never see her again.
"Oh. You're leaving so soon. I was hoping you would stay for dinner. Well, it was wonderful meeting you, have a great day!"
I smiled. Then, I walked out the door. I ran down the path and reached the gate. I pressed a small button on the side of the gate and it open. I walked through and began my walk home.
As I was walking, I felt the tears that I was holding in finally come out. Tears ran down my face but I didn't care. I continued to walk. I was just reaching the park that's close to my house when I heard Gene's voice.
"Hey, darling."
Gene walked up to me. Sasha and Zenix were right behind him. Zenix was look as angry as always. Sasha, who always looks calm, was looking slightly annoyed.
"You didn't show up to our fight, darling. It's a shame. I was really looking forward to breaking every bone in your body."
I scoffed. He actually thought he could seriously injure me. I don't actually remember agreeing to a fight though.
"I guess I didn't really care much about the fight so I forgot about it."
"Are you sure that's what happened, darling? I think you were just too scared and decided not to show up."
"As if I'm scared of you. How about we fight tomorrow after school. We could do right here in the park."
"Hmm. I'm okay with that. Okay, we will meet here tomorrow after school. You better show up darling."
Then he walks away. Sasha and Zenix following him. I never really question why he calls me "Darling." I guess it's just to annoy me. I sigh and shake my head. Then I continue to walk home. I just really want to go to bed already.
