You Belong With Me

My eyes fluttered open due to hearing the facebook chat kudunk sound. I glared at my laptop screen, ready to bite the head off whoever had woken me up, but stopped when I saw who it was.

Aaron Marcos

Hey there, gorgeous. ;)

My heart skipped a beat. I typed a quick reply of 'Oh hush, I'm not gorgeous.' and smiled when he argued that I was. That argument went on for half an hour, when he eventually said 'look out your window, gorgeous.'. I did. And I died a little, because there he was, outside, waving at me. I opened my window and smiled.

'Oh hello there, Romeo.' I teased.

'Shh, let me in?' He grinned.

'Hmm. Maybe.' I bit my lip, and he rolled his eyes.

'Please? It's very scary out here all alone, y'know. Someone could kill me, or a vampire could bite me, or-'

'I'm coming.' I laughed, and he smiled. I closed my window and quietly made my way downstairs, and opened the front door. My best friend was stood there waiting, and hugged me after I closed the door.

'Sorry that I rushed off earlier. It's just. I'm hoping that if I'm there when she needs me, she'll like me.' There he was, already talking about Juliet. Great.

'Maybe.' I whispered, my heart hurting.

'So... movie night?' He waved some DVDs in my face.

'Dude, it's four am. I should be sleeping.' I rolled my eyes.

'Okay. Maybe skip the movies, and just talk until we fall asleep?' He asked.

'I don't know, Aaron...' I'd never fall asleep if he was there. I never did.

'Please?' He looked down at me with puppy-dog eyes. I glared at him.

'Fine.' I sighed, as he grinned.

'Great.' He started going upstairs, and I followed, making sure to admire him on the way up.

♥♥♥

I rolled over and placed my arm over the empty space of my bed. But only, it wasn't empty. My eyes shot open as my heart was beating fast, but then I remembered.

'Hey,' Aaron smiled.

'Hey...' I say, glancing at my arm and quickly pulling away. He laughed, rolling over to face me probably, our noses almost touching.

'I thought you were gonna sleep forever.' He winked.

'What time is it?' I yawned, looking down slightly so I didn't blast him with morning breath.

'It's only nine am. But I couldn't sleep, so I just kinda sat here.' He shrugged. He stared into my eyes, and for a moment, I wanted to kiss him. But I refrained, not knowing what his reaction would be.

'Should've woken me,' I said, turning onto my back.

'Nah, you looked peaceful. So, what do'ya wanna do today?' He asked, and I smiled.

'Walk,'

'I was hoping you'd say that.' He laughed.

'I'm glad you're happy with my choice.' I laughed, too. Then my mother knocked on my door, asking if I was decent. Then I suddenly remembered Aaron, but told her to come in anyway.

But it wasn't my mother that walked in.

It was Juliet, who was in tears.

Naturally, Aaron jumped up to hug her. I remained on my bed.

'What's happened?' He asked, hugging her tightly.

'He left me. John left me!' She cried into his shoulder, and I sighed, wondering how many days it would be until I would be comforting Aaron.
