Katelyn's POV

*Play Song*

Months

Its been months, and it still traumatizes me.

The shaking...

The screams....

The waves....

Many of us got out with minor injuries, except Crystal, Aaron, and Laurence.

Crystal had a nasty knee dislocation.

Laurence had a bad concussion.

Aaron also had a bad concussion, and a calf injury.

Aaron....

That poor guy....

Its been months since Aphmau has disappeared, and he hasn't recovered.

He goes to work and all, but he is silent.

We barely see him anymore, though we take turns going to see him.

Today was my turn.

Oh yeah Ella and Riggs hit it off.

They just realized life is short, and you shouldn't waste it away on doubt.

They also took at look at Aaron...

I open the door, taking my scarf from off the coat hanger and swinging it around my neck.

I walk down the pavement, the cool wind skimming my face.

The evening air smelled of daises and lavender.

Lavender...

Aphmau..

That woman...

Losing her....

It was like losing a sister..

but for Aaron...

It was like losing a family member...

A friend...

A lover...

I walk down his walkway, stopping at the oak door to ring the doorbell.

The door opens, revealing Aaron, his face blank.

He is wearing his usual long black cargo pants, and red hoodie.

Ever since Aphmau went missing, he has been wearing a red bandanna across his eyes.

Which I only presumed to be Aphmau's.

He leaves the door open, returning to the kitchen.

I follow him in, fiddling with my scarf.

He leans against the fridge, crossing his arms.

"You guys don't have to come ya know?" He says, massaging his temples with his fingertips.

I walk over to his cupboard, snatching up a red mug.

"We know Aaron.....but you need people there for you...help you through this..." I reply, walking over to the shelf, plucking a teabag from a small box. 

"You say this as if this is a phase" He retorts, looking up.

"Aaron...." I try, but he stops me.

"I just don't know Katelyn..." He says, shaking his head slowly.

"I had known her the majority of my life, loved her the majority of my life...." He states, staring at the wall.

I listen intently, pouring hot water from the kettle into the mug.

"Its been months...months...and the pain hasn't gotten any less severe"

"I just.......don't know how to move on..." He grimaces.

I walk over to him, handing him the mug.

He looks up at me, taking the mug from me.

"Thanks"

"Aaron....you think Aphmau would like you doing this to yourself?" I question, crossing my arms.

He sips at the mug.

"What do you think she would say?"

After he finishes his tea, he looks down on me.

"I will never know...will I?"

Have a nice day my crystals!
