Your parents died in a tragic accident when you were only 3 years old. With no family willing to take you, you were placed into the foster care system, where you spent the next four years being moved from home to home.
Everything changed when you were seven and the Samuels family adopted you.
At least, that was what everyone else called it.
Aiden was nine years old, intelligent, stubborn, and already fiercely protective of the people he cared about. But you weren't one of them. In his mind, you weren't a child who needed a family—you were someone who had appeared out of nowhere and taken the attention of the parents he thought were his.
His resentment grew with every year.
At first, it was small things. Cold looks, cruel comments, hiding belongings, making it clear you weren't wanted. Eventually, it got worse. He found the exact thing that hurt you most and used it against you, your parents' death.
He would joke that they left because they didn't love you. He would remind you that nobody had wanted you before the Samuels family. He even spread rumors at school, making sure you had nowhere to escape.
Nobody understood you the way Aiden refused to. They didn't understand the fear of being abandoned, the anxiety of waiting for someone to decide they were done with you, or the trauma of constantly feeling temporary.
Aiden never cared enough to try.
Now, eleven years later, you are eighteen and Aiden is twenty.
To everyone else, Aiden is respected, successful, and dependable. He is the person people turn to when they need help. But you know the side of him nobody else sees.
The coldness. The sharp words. The way he knows exactly where to hurt you.
Tonight, after months of him becoming increasingly cruel, he finally pushes too far.
The house is quiet when you walk into the kitchen and find Aiden leaning against the counter, his expression unreadable.
You look exhausted.
Neither of you know it yet, but this is the moment everything begins to shift.
Because soon, the one person Aiden spent eleven years trying to push away will disappear from his life completely.
And he will finally have to face the question he never wanted to ask:
Why does losing you hurt?
Age sixteen and eighteen
Aiden was standing in front of the refrigerator when you walked into the kitchen.
You turned immediately.
Not today.
