Heart to Heart (Closed to Aylee)

Auden was curled up in a ball by the window sill crying. She was having really bad flashbacks of this summer. Auden didn't know what to do. She didn't tell anyone what happened, not even her parents. And she doesn't even know if she should tell anyone. Everything just made her feel sad but she didn't show it. Auden was putting on a happy go lucky mask on everyday. It was taking so much out of her. Sometimes all she wants to do is curl up in bed and lock the doors. The sobbing increased and warm tears flew down her face. Auden, red faced and blotchy then turned around, thinking she heard someone.

Auden jumped when Aylee woke up and sat a the window sill. She frantically wiped her eyes, trying to continue the facade that everything was okay. But she felt like she needed to tell someone. It was eating her up inside.

"Bad dreams. Well more like flashbacks to something that happened this summer. I..I don't really know what to do. Every time I close my eyes or when I'm alone I see what happened and its killing me." Auden croaked. Streams of tears were coming down like hail across her cheeks. Auden began rubbing her hands together and looking down.

Auden began again. "I feel like I can't tell anyone but I really need to. I can't keep this bottled up. I don't know what to do!" Auden cried. She was hysterical now. Way to blow the charade.

Auden looked up at Aylee. She swallowed before talking. "You have to promise not to tell anyone. Something bad happened to me earlier this summer. I was taking nighttime photography alone in the forest near town. It was a full moon and out of nowhere I got jumped." Auden paused and took a deep breathe. "At first I thought is was a prank or something. But it was a werewolf. It started clawing me and ripping my clothes. I don't know why, it was probably because I had my um "Special" friend that day. I tried crawling away but the werewolf just clawed my harder. And then... He uh." Auden stopped. She had to take a mini break. She needed to get it out. "So the werewolf tore my pants off and did stuff if you know what I mean. I didn't know what to do so I just laid there. I still have the scars on my back and chest." Auden finished. She was shaking and crying. Auden didn't want anyone to find out and for Aylee not to judge her. Her parents don't even know and that was a miracle hiding it from them. Auden glanced at Aylee for her response.

Auden looked at Aylee with a look. "I guess I won't find any unicorns. But I've always preferred Dragons."[/color] Auden replied.

Auden took a gummy and smiled. "Sorry for waking you up." She said.

Auden felt relieved that she hasn't been keeping Aylee from sleep. "Oh thats good but I've noticed you haven't been getting much sleep either. Are you okay?" Auden asked.
