K-Hip Hop Dance On // COMPLETED

Chapter: 11

Andrew POV
I need to get my head together. I shake my head with thoughts already flooding. I need to talk to Aiden but I don't know what I'd say or why.. I walk into my apartment, not expecting Aiden to be there since he was avoiding me, but when I get in and pass his room, I see him decorating a bit. Pinning a poster of this rapper I like on his wall. I need to say something.. I stop in the doorway, about to spill my guts but all that comes out is, "what do you want for dinner..?" I ask. He doesn't even flinch. "Not hungry.." He says adjusting his blue hat on his head. I sigh and look away , about to give up, but something comes over me and I just walk in. "Aiden.. I know I was your bully.." I start out, stating the obvious. "So what?" He says not even looking at me and occupying himself with pinning the poster. "I used to be terrible.. I'm really trying now.. I made you hurt so bad.. I put a problem on top of your other problems. I was a stupid kid who had problems of his own.. I'm sorry Aiden. Now you can be honest with me.. I wouldn't kick you out of the group or think you aren't capable. Hate to admit, but you are a pretty good dancer." I say, telling my full truth. It feels weird, I've never apologized to my victims. I try looking at him. He still looks away. Maybe I should tell him.. "Also.. I know how you feel. On the day of the crash, it was my family, yours and an elderly couple collision. Aiden I saw you cry, I saw you trying to wake up your parents.." I say my voice starting to shake. Aiden wipes around quickly and looks me in the eyes. "Y-You were there too??" Aiden looks up. "Crazy huh? Why does fate make us meet so many times but with bad things? In elementary, I dealed with the wreck the only way I knew how, I bullied people." I say, looking into his eyes. I then see a tear fall down his face. "W-What happened at the wreck with you?.." He asks me. I look down a bit and then look up at him. "My.. Little sister was killed. My mom was okay." I say to him, finally relating to him. "I'm.. So sorry.." He says, then looking away. "I was being selfish.." I laugh and look at him, "no bro it's completely understandable. And I hurt you.. So I want you better." I hold out my hand slowly, and he looks at it frightened. "Come on, touch my hand. You can do it." I say with a smile. He shakes his head, "are you crazy..? I-I can't.." I look at him. "Why?" I ask. "I'm afraid of it. I'm afraid of it being all my fault.. It was my fault! They shielded me and died on top of me! It's all my fault! Their touch got so cold.. And it sent me into a panic attack. The once warm touches and memories were stone cold!" He confesses, crying hard. I look at him sadly. "It wasn't your fault Aiden. I don't want you to feel this way. We are in this together." I hold out my hand out once again, and to my surprise, he raises his shaking hand up and slowly puts his finger tips on mine, then pulls away quickly. I frown, getting so sad at how bad it is. "Don't worry.. I'll get you there. I'll stick by you. And I'm sorry about hurting you." I say those last words and start to walk out, but he stops me in the doorway, "Andrew.. Y-Your little sister.. How was she like?" He asks me, his body still shaking. I turn and smile, "she was so lovely. She teased me a lot and was always curious. I regret not letting her play with my toys now." I laugh a bit, remembering her. "Go to sleep now.. He have rehearsal and if you miss it, I'll fight you!" I say trying to look tough. I actually make him laugh, "okay okay. Goodnight." He says. "Goodnight." I reply, then shutting his door. So much happened tonight.. And I feel so much closer to him. It's like I can't stop caring about him and I don't know why.. It's like my heart won't stop worrying.. Ever since I met him again.. I don't understand what's with me.. Aiden POV
I stare at the door for a good 3 minutes after Andrew left, trying to absorb everything that just happened. How could Andrew be where I was 3 major moments in my life? He was in that collision too, he was my bully. He bullied to deal with the pain of his sister being gone. He had that bad too. No one could ever relate to that pain with me. Now he's here as my leader in a dance crew. Why is life doing that? Does.. He really want to protect me now..? Is it out of guilt? How can someone help me with it? No body has ever tried to help my phobia get better, they just tried to prevent people from making my panic attacks happen. I wonder how life would be like without having the phobia.. When it comes to my phobia and trauma I think it'll never get better. I don't know how to feel with my hands or my heart.. You know how hard that is..? I feel myself about to cry so I shake off my feelings and start undressing and getting ready for bed. I also heard lately that he finally broke up with his terrible girlfriend. When Kwonyeol and Andrew were talking about it at the store.. I heard everything. Did he think he was that bad that he didn't deserve anyone better? He really does feel guilty.. At least, he finally won't be pushed around anymore. Dunno why I care about his relationships and such.. I sigh and then fall asleep.
