Four days had passed by since the incident with the burglary and therapy session. Needless to say I already hated this bull shit. Every single day I was going to therapy, just my dad and I, no one else. This was good because slowly our relationship was being repaired but nothing like the relationship we had before. I frown sitting at the table outside of Starbucks as I sip on my mocha frappe that I had ordered.

Being kicked out of high school really did suck, but I was going after my GED so I could just go onto college. Things were changing some for the better, some for the worse. I look up to see Aiden plop into the seat beside of me as I smile at him, “Hey.” He says leaning over and pecking my cheek.

“You seem tired.” I smile playing with the straw in my drink.

“The guys had me moving shit over and over for their studio hours.” Aiden sighs as he leans back into his seat.

“Want some food or a drink?” I ask him.

“Please, a coffee and bagel.” Aiden smiles up at me handing me his card.

I shake my head denying his card, “My treat.” I smile as I take and go inside and order what he wants.

I get his order and walk out and hand it to him smiling. I sit back in my seat and watch him devour the bagel and gorge his coffee down. I stare at him as he chuckles, “I was really hungry and thirsty.” He says.

I nod my head, “You know you didn’t have to be if you had someone there cooking for you,” I pause looking him over to tell he was happy about something. “Why did you move out from your parent’s?” I ask.

“Well after I got kicked out. I said fuck school and my dad got mad. So I moved out. Since then me and him have been the best of friends along with my mom.” Aiden smiles pulling a box out of his pocket.

He slides the tiny silver and black box near me as he smirks. I put my purse beside of my elbow on the table and open the box. I gasp at the gorgeous necklace that laid inside of the box. I pull it out of the box and up to where I could read it. You hold the key to my heart, Zoe. I smile even brighter as I take and put it on and get out of my chair.

I walk around to Aiden and hug him tightly before kissing his cheek, “I love it,” I pause and smile at him. “Thank you so much.” I whisper hugging him one more time.

“Zoe, would you be my girlfriend?” Aiden asks me.

I step back and look at him in shock. Did he just ask me what I think he did? I squeal out and giggle, “Of course I would.” I smile brightly leaning over and pecking his lips.

I start to pull back as he grabs me and deepens the kiss we’re sharing. I smile at how he’s doing. I had never had this before, and it made me feel all giddy inside and for once since everything had happened, loved. Aiden pulls away as I smile down at him, “Sorry.” He whispers.

“Don’t be, I loved it.” I smile pecking his lips again.

He nods his head and smiles at me as I return it. I turn around right as I hear someone shout my name. Seeing my dad jogging towards me I roll my eyes and sigh crossing my arms. “We’ve got therapy in a few minutes.” He says.

“I know.” I reply turning around.

I kiss Aiden one more time before walking towards the therapist’s office. This session should be interesting, and hopefully better than before. It was time to confess to what I had done, so things could be in the open and not secretive anymore.
