“Sweetie don’t worry about it, I didn’t take any of that to heart anyways.” He said.

Ugh how the hell can he do that? Just be…nice!  

“Why do things have to be so hard?” I cried out. My hands brushed over my eyes wiping away the stale tears.

“It has to be, or we wouldn’t realize how important it really is.” He simply stated. His hand rubbed my leg and returned to the steering wheel. Sadness flashed in his green eyes as he turned his eyes back on the road.

God I don’t want any pity. I’m a big girl I shouldn’t have started any of this shit in the first place.

“You have taught me so much, Master Yoda.” I laughed and turned to look out into the darkness.  

 He grinned before speaking, “No problem young Jedi, it’s all in a days work” I shook my head at his imitation. “So are you staying with me tonight Spencey.”

“Yea, if you don’t mind. I don’t want to be alone.” He shook his head understandingly and my eyes reverted back into the night.

“Um thanks Aiden for tonight, although it didn’t quite work how I wanted.” I said as I snickered.

He looked at my sympathetically and pulled me in a hug. “Everything will work out believe me hon.” He gave me the goofy smile and headed to his room.

I looked for Aiden’s iPod and flicked through the song list. God could a song fit the mood anymore than this.

Here we go:

“Smiles and her laughter,
It’s the only thing that I’ve been waiting for, a time.
Regardless of our distance, and our hope, grows greater.
Swept by pretty eyes and laughter for, a time.
The only thing that I’ve been waiting for.

I closed my eyes and just let the lyrics course through my head. Ugh why me? Why did I have to have to go for the unattainable girl? 

“She’s simple yet confusing,
Her sparkling eyes make me weak at my words, they tremble.
Days seem like years in this month of December.
The winter, coldens me for I have yet to sleep.
And never, will I give up trying ’cause you’re everything to me.”
