Ultimate Book Of Creation - Chapter 3 An Old Friend

I stare at the man across from me with a red face. When I saw it was him, I dashed to my room and searched for my favorite outfit for thirty minutes while shouting at him for scaring me. I found my one of the designs I had made , but when I came out he was asleep on the couch.

“So. How have you been? I heard you broke up with Shitface. You good?” He asked me wile sipping his coffee. I stare at him with a blank expression. ‘Did he really just ask me if I’m good?’

“Yeah, just great. It’s not like I’m totally pissed about him sleeping with my sister and then giving his ‘I was drunk excuse’. So yeah, peachy.” He makes an ‘O’ face and sips his coffee again.

“Welp, I hate to say it,but… I told you so!” He jumps up and points his finger in my face while laughing. I glare at him and without thinking, I jump up and punch his pretty face.’Whoops, why did I just do that?’ He steps back and doesn’t move. His head was bent down to the side and his hair covered his face. I couldn’t see his expression, but an uneasy feeling swelled in my stomach as adrenaline started to flow through my body, heating it up.

“Athena… Do you remember what happened last time you punched me?” His head slowly turned to look at me while he rubbed his jaw. Dark green eyes stare at me with unspoken promises and I remember all to well what happened last time. ‘Oh shit. I’m in trouble, I’m so gonna die. I’m finished, kaput, done for.

“Listen, Aaron, I wasn’t thinking. Lets just sweep this under the rug and…” His eyes grew darker by the passing minute and my face grew hotter. It’s only been a month since I broke up with Frank. actually, it’s almost been a year since I broke up with Frank since the time differences between here and my world are far apart. Still, I haven’t seen Aaron since I got with Frank, he said he had some business to take care of.

“Thea… An eye… For an eye.” I turned and dashed to my room and slammed the door closed and locked it. Calm footsteps approached my door and knocked four times. “I know your in there. Let me in.” My heart starts pounding in my chest as I search for a way to escape. Aaron and I had known each other for a long time. I know he knows how to pick locks, I showed him how.

I open my window and made it seem like I got out through it then, I hid under my bed and push some boxes in front of me so he wouldn’t see me under there. The only downside to it was that I wouldn’t be able to see his feet in some spots too. The door clicked, signaling that he was in, and his steady foot steps stopped at my bed, then continued on to the window.

“Huh? She ran away? That was quick. Now lets see where she hid the porno’s. I’d be surprised if she throw them away.” I stare at him with my mouth open as an ‘O’. ‘Th-that bastard! Those are his that he asked me to hold onto! Who’s are who? I only opened them a couple times when I really, really board!’ “found them! Uh… did she really get her own? Never knew she’d be that board considering how many books she has, it’s like a smaller version of a library!”

‘No! Ella gave that to me two years ago when I stopped looking at girls! Damn bastard, stay out of my stuff!’ I was about to get out from the bed when there was a knock on my door. A muffled voice could be heard calling my name when the door creaked when it opened.

“Thea? You in here? I tried to call you but you never answered. You okay.” A small laugh came from Aaron’s mouth as he mumbled under his breath, “And the jealous, thieving little sister has arrived.” I frown at how he used to address my sister, but didn’t want to show myself.

Ella walked into my room and stopped by the door when she saw Aaron. “Hey Aaron, didn’t know you were here. Have you seen Thea?”

“You can stop with the bullshit now, she’ not here.” Aaron snorted and closed my closet and prepared to walk past her but she blocked the way.

“How do I know your telling the truth?” I couldn’t see their face, but could tell enough that they really hated each other. ‘I didn’t know they disliked each other this much?’ I watched as Ella slowly put her arm over Aaron’s shoulders and swig her hips. My mouth fell open at the sight and I couldn’t tear my eyes off them. Ella was shorter than me by four inches, I always teased her for it by saying the man she’d get would have to listen to me because I would always be taller.

“What’s the point in lying, you’ll do anything you can to hurt her and get everything your pathetic ass can. besides,” He threw her arms off his shoulders and backed up, “It’s not worth my time. Your, not worth my time.”

“Haha. This is why I like you Aaron. Why do insist on chasing after her when she’s never going to love you like you love her. Just be with me. I’ll soon take over her business once she’s dead. I’ll be able to get anything and everything she has and more. What do you say?”

“I say, your crazy, and I’m sure your boyfriend wouldn’t want to know you were chasing after other men.”

“Ha! that retard is easy to manipulate, I got him to cheat on my sister just like the rest. Only difference is she found out I was the one this time.”

“I think you should leave. And leave the keys here to.” Ella laughed and walked out the room. When I heard the front door close I didn’t move. Aaron walked to the window, then sat on my bed. “She’s gone. You can come out now.”

I move the boxes out of my way and slide out from under the bed. I stared at him for a moment. Everything was passing through my mind as I just stood there. ‘All this time… She was the one who betrayed me? She want’s what I have? It doesn’t make any seance. I gave her everything she asked for and more. How could she do this to me? I told her almost everything about my stuff, while I bought her equal to or grater stuff!’

“Come.” Aaron pats the side next to him and I crawl over and lay my head on his shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’m here. No one’s gonna hurt you. You can cry now.” I break down in tears on my old best friend and only cry while he pats my back and rocks me back and forth in his arms.
