On the rollercoaster, a little boy threw up on me. His mother apologized profusely and scolded the child.‘’I told you I didn’t want to come on the ride. I’m scared of heights.’’ The boy cried.‘’Hey, if fine. There is no need to cause a fuss,’’ I said, trying my best not to gag.When the rollercoaster did another loop, the little boy threw up on me again and never thought I would find myself wishing for my favorite ride to end so badly.When the ride came to an end, I gave the woman a tight smile as she apologized again.‘’Well, I guess you hate that ride now, huh?’’ Aaron said.‘’No, I need to go wash this off.’’Aaron followed me to the restroom.When I came out, I noticed that Aaron wasn’t there and thought that he must be in the restroom as well.I walked over to where a man was playing a shooting game.Up on winning, the man turned to the first woman he saw and planted a long kiss on their lips. That woman was me and when he pulled away, I stood there in horror, not knowing how

When I went back to my seat, Aaron looked up at me and took my hand.‘’Listen, I’m sorry for what I said. It’s just that… I still have feeling for you Mia. I always had, and with you being here with me is making it hard for me. You have no idea how much I try to hide it and can’t.’’I tried to say something, but he stopped me. ‘’I know that it is bad to feel like this, but you… you are always good to me, even when I’m being an asshole to you. You get me, see through the walls I put up and break them down every time, no one else can do that. I always try to hide it and can’t.’’‘’And if I’m being truthful, I never wanted you to show up at Johnathan’s funeral but when I saw you in the backyard… I just couldn’t hide it anymore but had to for the sake of Jolie. I feel horrible because it’s like I’m using her. She is so kind but…’’Aaron reached up and push my hair behind my ears and I hope those girls aren’t watching. I glanced around but we are the only ones still in Dick’s Drive-In.‘’I

I wiped away the tears that were pouring down my face."Are you ok there, little lady?" The bouncer asked."I'm fine, I just got a bit overwhelming in there." It wasn't a complete lie. What Aaron did was just too much because I knew he didn't mean it. We were just caught up in the moment."Mia, are you ok? Why are you crying?" Aaron asked, coming out to stand by me."Nothing, can we just go?"The bouncer looked between the both of us."Are you sure you are ok? Is this guy bothering you? Maybe I should call you an Uber."I gave the bulking bald guy a smile.It was awfully nice of him."No, there is no need for that. Aaron is just my stepbrother."I said that, so both Aaron and I could both understand that nothing could happen between us.The bouncer still sized up Aaron, as he did the same."Ok, just be careful."Aaron removed his jacket and placed it over my shoulder even though the hot was hot.As we walked back to the house, a couple bumped into us, but it clear they were drunk, an

By 4 p.m., I was driving Aaron to the airport. I gripped the steering wheel while doing so and was glad when we arrived at departure.I thought Aaron would have gotten out of the car, but he sat there.''Aren't you going to say goodbye?" He asked.Honestly, I didn't want to because I didn't know how."Mia.""Goodbye, Aaron," I said and waited for him to leave so I could move on with my life."Could you at least help me with my luggage?"But truly, he didn't need any help. He had only two small carry-ons. One that belonged to him and the other to Jolie."Sure."We got out of the car and helped Aaron to roll on of the carry-on to the sliding door.He took it from me, our hand touched, and I pulled back."Safe flight," I told him."Safe drive home."I nodded, and instead of either of us walking away, we stood there and stared at each other.I hugged myself, not knowing what to say to him.His phone rang, and I let out a breath."Hey babe," he answered.I nodded to myself and walked back

After what happened in my bedroom with Aistin, I saw him only once around campus, and he didn't even look at me. I never laid eyes on him again, and it left me to wonder if he would see me around and go the other way.Maybe I should take his advice and sort shit out with Aaron, but how can I? He was happy with Jolie, and she loved him."Hey, I ran into your guy," Ellie said, coming into the living room"My guy?" I asked, confused."Austin.""Oh, no. He isn't my guy.""No wonder he didn't even look at me when I tried to talk to him. Was he a one a done type of guy?"At first, I didn't respond, I buried my face into my pillow and screamed."I guess that night didn't go well."I talked into the pillow."What? Your voice is muffled.""I accidentally called him Aaron. Twice."Ellie burst out laughing, and I looked up at her."I guess we had the same type of night.""What are you talking about?" I asked, and she came to sit beside me."I went back to hmm, Cory's apartment, and I accidental
