Dark Days

Chapter 19

Aiden's POV:

"Her?!" My crackhead friends said in unison. Rolling my eyes "Yes her and be easy with her alright? She's more sensitive to average people please guys" I said with such seriousness I even surprised myself. Then I noticed people all around the cafeteria were staring at us like if we were crazy not caring I shrugged it off. What did make me raise my head was hearing the comments people made of Peanut and oooooohh boy was I ticked off.

"Omg I can't believe she got Aiden our angel under her greasy slutty finger." That was the one that ticked me off I glared daggers at the scrawny fake plastic bitch and she quietly shut her trap.

"Hey woah bud you good your fuming out smoke from your head *chuckles* relax just ignore it and introduce this friend who literally none of us see" agreeing with Dante to not let the haters get to me I look back to Jailyn who has her head down and waiting while chewing on her bottom lip which made me want to kis- 'WOAH WOAH WOAH cut it out Aiden!! Wtf woah I did not just think that and I do not most defiantly do not- do want to do wAIt no no I don't I don't.... right?'

"Ready Peanut?" She raised her head hesitates for a few seconds but then nods confirming. I smiled somewhat proudly and I finally took a side step and relieved her to my friends "Guys this is Jailyn, my dear friend *smiles big lightly blushing*"

Jailyn's POV:

As Aiden moved out of the way and I was met with five people 'wait five people!?!? Dang.. that's a lot of friends' staring at me staying quiet. Each second they stared I grew anxious rubbing my arm looking making sure to cover my cheek that got cut up. Suddenly one loud voice just said "Omg she's so tiny!" Flinching from their loud comment but I tried to keep my cool not wanting to embarrass myself much on first impressions. I heard a deep chuckles from beside me "She is very cute and tiny " which was from none other than Aiden himself and I was a tomato.

"Awe she's adorable anyway it's nice to meet you Jailyn I was wondering when I would me the famous Jailyn" I tilted my head in confusion the girl with Meredith from "Brave" like hair said. "Yeah no offense but I thought you'd be a little taller *chuckles*" a boy with dirty blonde hair and thick framed glasses a lot like mine. I blushed and giggled lightly "oh no worries I get that a lot surprisingly" signing.

Then realization hit me and I froze and immediately ducked my head. They all looked at me confused some shocked other beyond baffled. "Oh yeah I forgot to mention Jailyn is mute and yes I am somewhat fluent in ASL so fear not for your savior is here *chuckles*" Aiden said and took a seat and gestures for me to also sit which I take quickly and gratefully. Taking a deep breathe I looked at them and mentally told myself
'Its alright we'll be alright Aiden's here we'll be alright'.

"Well Hello I'm Jenny bestie #1 of Aiden big lesbo and stem *winks* *chuckles* " the crazy red hair girl said making me blush with her bold action not knowing someone was a bit jelly. "Anyway I'm Dante and love your glasses" the boy smiled and I signed a thank you to which Aiden happily translated for me.

*times skip*

I was in my last class and I was smiling at the thought of meeting Aiden's friends. They were actually very nice they didn't judge or see me as different it was nice to be seen by more than one person at a time. What I can say was I was defiantly not prepared for all those comments or in general questions about me. I do admit I felt bad I had to lie for some things ' Which I'm assuming what I'm talking about more like who'. But overall I call a success on my part forgetting the fact I wanted to run and bolt every five minutes or how my leg was non stop shaking also mentioning how I was super sweaty especially my hands 'Oh my god they saw right through oh god they're probably making fun of me right now who was I kidding nope no oh dear lord Oh no oh god' As if the skies knew I was panicking they just somehow had to decide to add more to the fire

*phone buzzes*

Aiden_7: Hey I'll pick you up at 4pm at your house so we can get ice cream and hangout. See you then peanut!

*internally screaming*

'What do I do?!?!?!?! I can't bail on him again he'll be crushed besides maybe being with someone would be better than being home alone okay okay we'll go wait we'll-' Before I knew it I sent an okay and my address to him and the school bell rang 'Oh lord Jesus what have I just gotten myself into'. As I was packing my stuff and walking to my locker I got pinned and shoved against it by none other than "What's up freak" yes you guessed it... Tyke. I whimpered quietly to myself and started to shake god I hate how this little punk reminds me of "him" it made me sick to the stomach but I know no one can ever be nearly as bad as him, never. "Don't think just because Aiden is your "friend" it'll go easier on you he's probably just using you as his little fuck toy like anyone else takes interest you. You're pathetic and don't you EVER forget it." he growls in my ear and punches my stomach for his own sick pleasure. I stand there feeling more empty than before [He's right you know] Not you again.... [ Oh you bet it's me you "freak" Aiden doesn't give two shits about you. You should just forget about that-] Nope nope not listening but... maybe he's right... I am pathetic...
