A loud noise coming from  the other room caused me to stir

I sat up slowly looking around "Peter?" I asked my voice horse, I cleared it and reached for my phone

4:45 Am

Why the hell am I awake at 4:45 in the morning?, I asked myself  as an another noise came from the other room 

I stood up and walked over to Peters door, I opened it slowly and stuck my head out

Nothing

I walked out and over to Peter's bathroom and looked inside

Nothing

A another noise filled the quiet house and scared the life out of me, I walked over and opened my bed room door 

I looked around the dark room, taking a step in I looked to the bed and saw nothing 

"Aiden?" I whispered walking around my room looking for any sign of him. Groaning coming from my bathroom is what made me turn around and walk over, I opened the door to find Aiden leaning against the counter trying to do twenty thing at once

"Aiden?, what are you doing" I asked rubbing my left eye walking into my bathroom

He looked up holding his shirt in his mouth, I gave him a questioning look as he tried to take the bandage off his rib and dropped the bandages onto the counter

"Uh?" he paused looking at me for help, I smiled "the bandage started to fall off and a stitch came out-" he cut him self off groaning from pain

I walk over to him and toke the things from his hands and set them on the counter

"Let me" I said and grabbed the needle from the sink, poking the thread though and stitch the one side back up

But as I was fixing the stitch I noticed a bruise on his right side 

A new bruise

"Aiden where is this from?" I asked lightly moving his face to the left so I could see it better

"It was there when Jake-" "-cut the shit Aiden" I said cutting him off

"That bruise was never there last night" I said trying to surpress a yawn but failing miserably

He smiled "you tired Thompson, go back to bed" he said trying to stand but I push him back "Tell me" I ordered

He sighed "No" 

"Yes" I said

"No" he repeated

"Yes" I repeated back

He groaned "Em It's fine, okay?" he asked and I shook my head "Nope tell me" I ordered again

"Peter found me, he said he didn't think you were scared so he investigated and found me in the bathroom trying to fix the stupid bandage. He got angry that I was here and punched me" he said looking down 

I sighed opening a new large band aid and placing it on his warm skin

He flinched as my, probably cold finger glazed his skin 

"I'll talk to him, if he doesn't find me first" I said turning to the sink to wash my hands 

I dried my hands and picked up my phone and looked at the time

4:56 am

Shit! Dad will be home soon

"I- uhm" I paused turning to Aiden, who looked at me with those beautiful blue eyes "I hate to kick you out but my dad's going to be home soon, and I don't want you to get your ass kicked even more" I laughed showing him the time
