He is awake

3:21 PM

Before opening his eyes, Aiden was aware that he is thirsty. So thirsty… His lips are dry, and he tried licking them to ease the discomfort, but it seems that his tongue is dry as well. How unpleasant.

He slowly opened his eyes and his sight landed on a glass of water on the bedside table. Convenient.

Aiden gulped the water in one breath and tried to remember, how on Earth did he end up in the bed? Did he get drunk last night?

That water was not enough to quench his thirst, but it helped a bit.

What's with the pain…? Did he get into a fight? Even if he did… who can hurt him like this? Aiden can think of few people, Stella comes to his mind first, but she would probably knock him unconscious and not fight him when he is drunk.

Last night… He remembers that he watched on the phone how Sarah went with Aaron… Sarah!

He turned to his right and exhaled in relief. She is sleeping next to him. She is safe.
