THE BOY NEXT DOOR

CALM DOWN & I'M SORRY

Ross's POV
"Guys!!!! Something's wrong with Aimee!!" She says, running back in the back yard where Aimee ran off. I quickly ran back there passing Rydel.

"She keeps yelling and she's hitting everyone! She won't listen to a word we say and she keeps saying a guys name and kept yelling leave me alone. It's almost like she sees someone that isn't really here" Rydel says.

I look around to make sure there isn't an unusual person here. Just making sure.

I go over to Aimee who was hitting Connor. He tilt my head over to everyone signaling to go over there. He nods and ran over there holding his arm.

I looked back at Aimee. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Is all she kept yelling. 

"Aimee, no ones here. It's all going to be okay. Look at me" I say, in a calming voice. She ignored me and kept yelling.

I went to grab her hand but she kicked me in a place no one would wanna be kicked. I tried to ignore the pain.

I look over to see my mom on the phone with someone. "Aimee...." I say.

Yet she still ignored me. I had no choice but grab her hands to the point she can't hit me. She tried to get out of my grasp but nothing she did was working.

Eventually she calmed down. She slowly falls onto the ground pulling me with her cause I was holding onto her.

"I don't want him to hurt me!" She cried out.

I looked at Connor to see maybe he knows. He just shrugged.

"Aimee, who? Who's trying to hurt you?" I asked, calmly. She just looked at me and stared at me blankly.

"No one is going to hurt you ever. You have your mom and brother that'll protect you. You have my family and most importantly you have me. I'll protect you no matter what it takes. If that means I have to jump in front of a train for you, than I'm willing to do that. Aimee, I won't let anything happen to you and that's a promise!" I say, making her smile a little which made me smile.

"There's that smile I love" I say, hugging her. I picked her up and let her go. "Your mom is on her way home" My mom told Aimee.

"I'm sorry for this!" Aimee says, with quilt in her voice. "Aimee, this isn't your fault. If you ever need anyone to talk to, come to me. I love you and you're practically my best friend" Rydel says. Aimee smiled hugging Rydel.

"Lets go inside!" Mark says, walking into the living room. We all followed behind him. Aimee sits on the couch, so I decided to sit next to her. She looks up at me and gives me a smile.
