That's the best way to describe what I've been feeling. Aiden's been.... acting really... off. This is all affecting him much worse than he's letting on to. I've tried to get him to talk but he's been really distant. I think Dean and Candy showing up and finding out Dean was being stalked has really got him on edge. Then add in the fact he has to play a normal person when he's got all this responsibility thrown at him. He's been stressing about college.
He's talking about dropping out. That... that really concerns me. A lot. He's not sure he can handle school and all of this. He's concerned about Yggs. He's concerned about Dean and Candy. Bran and Co. And now he's got this concerned for Fox. He's not said these right out but I've been with him long enough where I can... just tell. I know.
Also, he knows about this blog now. Of course. I told him he could come read it. I need this to vent though. Especially when I'm this worried. I'm the one working here right now and if I don't vent this will cloud my work. Sure, we're sitting good and pretty for a long while, but I want to keep us comfortable. And to do that I need to keep my job. Good news is I miscalculated my credits. I thought most of what I was doing was for electives. Turns out I could have graduated with the Fall classes. So the few electives I have, they're it. I graduate this Coming year. Nice to have that out of the way. Like a lot.
Also. Aiden's really stung up on working up this idea of having a safe haven here for runners. You're running from It or Slendy? Come here. You'll be safe. I'm not sure how that will work though. Especially with Aiden being what he is now? He's hellbent on trying to help. He's hellbent on putting all of these abilities and attributes he may develop to good used. Using it to our advantage. I'm concerned though that he was a bit gun ho with bringing Fox onto our side. I just hope this doesn't get Fox in any more deep crap. Or beaten or.. anything.
Aiden's worried. Hey Bran, if you get a chance. Ask Fox his age, would you? Also if you could get a real name from him or something. Or even where he's originally from. Sorry I still find it hard to believe he doesn't know about things that are suck common knowledge. Surely he remembers stuff from his past? He can't have been working for them for that long could he have?
I don't know. We haven't had much time to talk about that stuff.
ReplyDeleteWe're just talking about arbitrary things. I think he knows I still resent him for what they're doing to Skye...even if he's trying to make up for it and help. So I think he's trying to win approval and become friends.
But you know...those'll be my first questions when we've got time for an interview like that.
He mentioned that communicating via my blog was "a tad tedious and messy". I think he was hinting at something. I'll see if I'm right soon enough.
Aiden. Ai-Ai. If you read this. You don't have to feel so stressed. You're not the only one doing this. Think about us. Five teenagers. TEENAGERS. Fighting for all of you and others and trying to maintain our normal lives. You'll be okay. Please try to calm down.

Keep in mind. He's not one of the ones that are messing with Skye anymore. And I'm sure Aiden will figure something out. Like I said. He was very gun ho about doing this and didn't think it through. Impulsiveness. It'll be his death.
