Chapter 11 You Were There For Me

Alana's POV

We wish for things we cannot see.

We leap and we fall.

But know exactly who you're leaping because they might just pick you up.

I wake up feeling drowsy and I unlock my door, padding to the kitchen. I stop in my tracks as I find Aiden laying on the couch sleeping.

I sigh and walk over to him, planting a soft kiss on his cheek.

Some people won't understand why I would take such a chance after what happened seven years ago but it's exactly that.

It happened seven years ago.

I knew sometime I would have to let my walls down to be truly happy and well, I guess now's the time.

It isn't as easy as it seems. . . opening up, but I understand what where he came from.

Doesn't mean I'm not gonna make him pay though, he pressured me a bit too much last night.

I walk towards the kitchen and start preparing breakfast. Soon I hear his footsteps approaching. I don't turn around, just listen.
