Dear Aiden - Aiden Gallagher fanfic

Chapter Eighteen

Michael's POV 

I ran my hands through my hair, exhaling an exasperated sigh.

Ashton is such an ass. Lying to his own sister, who has amnesia, about us bullying her, and blaming it on somebody she loves.

You can see it in her eyes how much she loves Aiden.

Even now, with no memory of him, her eyes and face light up whenever she sees or hears him. She probably doesn't know it just yet, but I think they're in love.

Ashton obviously hates the idea of it, but he just started caring about her so he really doesn't get a say in the matter. I decided to follow him out, since he's my best friend, and stumbled upon him smoking in his car.

I got in next to him, and took a cigarette from the box, snatching his lighter. Once it was lit and clutches between my teeth, I looked over at him.

His eyes were red, and his cheeks tear-stained.

"I fucked up man." He whispered, just about to cry.

"I know you did, but you can fix it."

"No I can't. I've already tried and failed."

"You failed because you went about it the wrong way."

"And because Aiden always puts stuff in her mind."

"He's just trying to protect her."

"Because he wasn't here to do it for two years?"

"Yes. He's just trying to make up for that."

"So am I!" 

"But he did the right way!" I yelled back at him. He sighed and set his head on the steering wheel.

"Why am I such a fuck up?"

"It's one mistake."

"One mistake that we are going to have to live with for the rest of our lives!"

"Stop yelling."

"I'm sorry."

"I know you are. She doesn't."

"What do you suggest then?"

"Just go to her and apologize. Tell her how sorry you are and you just want her forgiveness."

"That really works?"

"It's better than taking advantage of her and lying."

"Okay. Fine. Should I like, get flowers or something?"

"I guess. What's her favorite?"

"Shit I don't know."

Aiden's POV 

Kat clung onto, finally slowing her shaky breaths.

"It's okay. I got you baby." I kissed the top of her head again.

"If he would've just old me the truth I'd've forgiven him."

"I know you would, baby."

"Are we dating?"

"Erm, Yeah. I guess so."

"Then why did Ash get so mad you told the doctors we were?"

"Because he doesn't like me."

"Why not?"

"Well, I better tell you the whole story." So I did. Even the parts about me being an ass and leaving her. 

"Oh," she said after I had finished talking to her. "Well, it's okay. I get why you wouldn't want to tell me."

"Really?"

"I mean, it was pretty shitty move but I get it."

"Thanks, baby." She slid up a little so she could rest her head on my shoulder while my arm was still around her.

"Love you, Aiden,"

"I love you too princess." She slowly fell asleep on my shoulder. "I love you so much."
