(Garroth)

I opened my eyes ever so slightly and turned to see Aphmau fast asleep. I smiled at her and sat up. Sunlight pierced my eyes causing my head to pound.

Ugh, what time is it?

I glanced at my clock that read 12:00am.

Is that why I'm so hungry? Beside my clock was a plastic container with a note on top.

If you're reading this I'm either gone or still asleep. I made some lunch, it's nothing too spectacular, just some pizza I found in the fridge. Sorry if it's cold

~Aph

I grinned at the gesture. I ate the cold pizza and laid back down. Aphmau was still fast asleep.

I needed to use the bathroom, but as I was getting out of bed my foot got caught in the sheets and I hit the floor with a huge thud.

The sound of small giggles made me forget the searing pain in my side for a second.

Aphmau popped her head from the side of the bed, a grin placed on her face.

"What a way to wake someone up" she mumbled in a raw voice. She breathed in and glanced at the clock, "ugh, it's so late" she groaned and collapsed back on the bed.

I chuckled and stood up.

"Go home"

"What?"

"You looked after me all night, and so far all day. Go home, I'll be fine"

She sighed and finally nodded.

"Fine, but if you need anything just call"

"Ok, oh and uh....d-did I say anything while I was drunk?"

"Uh...nothing shocking" she reassured and then headed towards the door, "seeya"

(Aphmau)

I walked to my car and drove home in silence.

As I pulled up into the driveway, a man was sitting on my doorstep.

I stepped out and tried to recognize the person. He looked up and his eyes pierced my own. His black hair sitting on his head, only moving slightly with the gentle breeze that danced in the air.

It....can't be....can it?

"Aphmau?" His voice was deep, and attractive. He walked up to me and gently cupped my face with one hand, "it's me...Aaron"

I backed away from his hand and ran into my house. Leaning on the door behind me. I reached up and felt my cheek where he touched.

Tears?

Sure enough, salty tears were traveling down my cheek. I got dressed and dried my tears. I hesitantly opened the door and Aaron was leaning on the railing.

"We need to talk"

I drew in a slow breath and nodded, allowing him in.

Aaron walked in and there was an awkward silence before he decided to talk.

"I missed you"

How long did I want to hear those words from his lips? The words I yearned for since the day we split up. And now they don't sound as sweet and heartwarming as I always pictured it. It felt like he was taunting me, like he was opening up the wound all over again, and pouring salt on it.

"I'd be lying if I said I never missed you" I said barely above a whisper, "but why now? Why come back after so many years?"

"I understand if you never wanna see me again, but I'm ready to start new. I want you back, and I won't beg, and I won't try to convince you. I just need to know...can we make this better again?" He intertwined our fingers, saying the words that I had craved for so long.

"So you can break my heart again?" I tripped over my own words and almost choked.

"I wouldn't do it again, I'm sorry-"

"Sorry doesn't cut it this time Aaron!" I bit out angrily, "I felt like another thing on a to do list. And you'd only throw me a bone every once in awhile to keep me interested! I felt like a dog!"

"I know! And not a day has gone by that, that hasn't bugged me!"

"We dated over four years ago now, and I've finally started to move on, and now you show up and rip apart the scars you left on my heart"

"Aphmau...I-I still love you!"

"That's what you said the day I broke it off. And then you decided it was too much to be just friends, so you ran across the country all the way to Falcon Claw, you would've gone farther but you couldn't run that far or that fast."

"Can you blame me?"

"Actually, I can. Aaron nothing you say will make me want to be with you again"

"What, did you find someone new?!"

"I..."

Come on! Answer! The answer is no! Find your voice Aphmau! Why are you hesitating?!

"I knew it" he chuckled dryly, "I'm such an idiot. I won't fight for something I already lost, I'll back off. Tell that guy he's lucky"

Aaron left, slamming the door. And the sound made my heart shatter again. I fell to the ground, shaking as the broken sobs escaped my lips.

Why am I crying again over him?!

I curled into a ball and held myself, rocking slowly to calm my shaking nerves. It feels just like the day we broke up the first time.

I drove while Aaron sat beside me in the passenger side. We parked in his driveway, we were silent the whole way, something that's been happening more often than not.

"Aaron.." I whispered refusing to make eye contact.

"What?" He asked sounding a little annoyed.

"It's over"

"What?!" Now he was angry

"Aaron! Don't yell at me! I should be yelling at you! You have been creating a distance"

"We aren't distant, we're beside each other right now stupid!"

"We're like stars..."

"What?"

"They appear like they're close, but in reality, if you look close enough, they're miles apart."

He clenched his fists.

"I still love you!" He sounded desperate.

"And why does that feel like a chore to say?!"

He paused, anger building up inside him

"Fine! See if I miss you!" He slammed the car door, the sound breaking my heart like glass.

The memory replayed until my tears lulled me to sleep.

I woke up at four in the morning, crying at the dream of the memory. I grabbed my phone and dialed Garroths number.

"Hello?" He sounded tired, I almost hung up, but his voice was soothing. "Aphmau? Why'd you call?"

I allowed a small whisper of a sob escape.

"Are you crying?!?"

I wiped some tears away and tried to find my voice, but I was too sad to even say hello.

"I'll be over in a minut-"

"No..." My hoarse voice croaked. I felt Garroth pause

"Why?"

"No..." A negative word to express all the negativity of my situation. I started sobbing again while laying down.

"I don't know what to do...you're crying yet you don't want me there? Why are you calling me then?"

I sobbed and held a hand to my mouth.

"Well whatever the reason, you should cheer up. You're so much prettier when you smile, and it brightens up everyone else's day. You deserve to be happy, and whatever is making you upset I would destroy in a heartbeat..."

I didn't hear the rest of the words, I had fallen asleep to the sound of his voice.

And I'll never find out what else he said

A/N So...this one Aaron appeared. How do you guys feel about that? I haven't decided if he's gonna show up later.....jk, I have made a decision, but you guys won't know until it happens,or doesn't. I love you all devils byeee
