I didn't want Aaron to walk out, but I let him. I kept my eyes on him every second, refusing to even blink for fear I would miss him. As he motion for me to come in, I slowly followed him, and walked out I meet him, just as he covered a hole in our door. Great, I felt safe now. I wondered how long for them to fix it, and suddenly, never wanted to move so badly. I lived our flat. It was always our home, but lately. Lately it was a building with too many bad things happening. Gambit had crept out of the room, and was looking at the door, his ears pulled back with a slight head tilt. I watched Aaron putting on his suit, and going on as he put in the tie. I searched him over, and walked to him, needing to hold his hand. I didn't want to go, suddenly. I could hear the noise outside, and I wasn't sure about it. However. I didn't want to be alone right now. More so in this place. I felt safe with Aaron, and not so much here. I thought a out telling him I wanted to move, but decided not to right now. He had other things to worry about. "I don't want to be alone," I told him, my brown eyes locked on his. "I want to be with you right now. But, I will stay and wait of you want."

I kissed Ren and looked at him. "You can borrow one of my suits," I told him, pulling him close to me. "It might be a little long, but it'll work." I could still hear the reporters waiting for my exit and looked at my Ren. "How do you want to leave? I could go then you could follow or we could leave holding hands or with Gambit or what?" I looked at the band aid I had put on his forehead and gently peeled it off then kissed where it had been. I smoothed Ren's hair over it and felt my phone vibrating. I picked it up and my mom was wondering where I was. I told her I was on my way before hanging up and held Ren's hand. I jumped when a camera flashed and turned towards the door, seeing the camera pull out from underneath the towel. "We should move," I said, a small chuckle forming under my voice. We would be able to move. We could get a house with a backyard for Gambit to run around in and a nice neighborhood. It would have three bedrooms and Ren and I could have two kids. I pulled away from my fantasy and tugged at Ren's shirt, my blue eyes traveling over his brown ones. I needed to make sure he was even fit to leave the house. If he wasn't, my lawyer would understand and we could reschedule.

I took a breath, as Aaron spoke, thinking about what to do. Following his hand to my forehead, I smirked, forgetting about the band aide that was on my forehead. I thought about going a head and changing now, but winced as Aaron held my hand and a camera clicked and flashed. I sighed, and looked at him side longingly. "Yes, I would like to move, love. Some place quiet. Maybe even out of the city." I used to love the city, but lately, I missed the quiet life. "With a fence and a yard, and a sun room." I smiled at Aaron, not as scared anymore that I saw into his blue eyes so perfectly. I pushed away lightly from him, and walked to the bedroom to put on one of Aaron's suits. I pulled off my shirt, and took a deep breath as a surge of pain rushed through my body. Maybe I should go get looked at. I bit my bottom lip, decided quickly against it. When I put on the suit, Inpulled at the sleeves a bit. Aaron was right. It was a little too long, but not too bad. I swallowed as I stood at the door of the bedroom, and looked at the door to the flat. Ran a hand trough my hair, and tried to keep from breathing heavily. "I wish we had a back door," I told him with a nervous smile. "We can do whatever you want. Maybe we should bring Gambit for a walk... However, maybe we should keep him here. To keep an eye on the house with everything that just happened. Who knows what these people might try to do."

Ren looked cute in my suit and I straightened his tie. "We can have a white picket fence and a nice courtyard," I said, looking into his eyes. I kissed his lips lightly and looked at him. "We can look at houses as soon as possible." I pulled away from him and patted Gambit on the head. "Keep our flat safe," I told him with a small smile. I took a deep breath and opened the door. Many of the reporters had left, but there were a few stragglers. They asked me where I was going and I didn't answer them. I turned around and waited for Ren, holding my hand out for him to grab it. I half wanted to give the reporters a show and just pull him to me and kiss him, but I knew that on top of everything else, he'd probably never talk to me again.

I was never before in my life afraid of cameras. I loved and breathed them. I could take one apart a d put it together again without much thought. I loved film over anything else. However, that was just it. I was a behind the camera person. I felt hot and cd at the exact same time as Aaron opened the door and they started to ask him questions. At least it didn't seem to be as many as in the hospital. I close my eyes, and then opened them, to see Aaron's hand. I grabbed it, as sweaty as mine own was, and held on as tight as I could, closing the door behind us, locked. I looked down, and then slowly up, looking into his beautiful blue eyes. I wanted to grab him, and hold him, but I couldn't do it. Not as people began to talk and I winced at the blinding flashes. I hated this, but I needed to be with Aaron. Just needed to keep looking and thinking of only Aaron.

I pulled Ren down the stairs with me and into our garage. I walked past all of the cars and got in the driver's seat. When he got in, I ran a hand along up and down his thigh before starting to drive. I reached for his hand and made sure the windows were rolled up. "Are you okay, Ren?" I asked, looking him over. I pulled out of the garage and began to easily drive to the office. I was still really worried about him and his family. I felt my phone vibrate and picked it up, frowning as I saw it was the hospital. My phone, along with Ren's, was attached to the car, so I just answered it with the steering wheel. "Hello?" I asked. A stern voice on the other end introduced himself as a doctor at the hospital. He said that a guy named Eddie Redmayne was in the hospital and I was the first one on his call list. "I'll be right there," I said, regretting how harsh I had been to him when our roles were switched. "You don't have to come in with me," I told Ren. I called my mom and told her to reschedule with my lawyer before speeding down the highway to get to the hospital.

Once inside Aaron's car, I leaned back in the seat, resting my head on the head rest with my eyes closed. As I felt Aaron's hand on my thigh, I felt a rush over my body just before I opened by eyes and looked over at him. I saw him reach for my hand, and intertwined our fingers together with a weak smile. I wondered if I looked as bad and tired as I felt, as Aaron questioned if I was alright. I nodded lightly, not able to talk still just yet. It felt good to be in our car though. In our car, and holding hands. This was okay. Looking out the window, I started to think of the house we could get. The house with the white, picket fence and a courtyard. I thought about us having lunch outside in the courtyard, and then playing around the front yard with Gambit, and later on, with our dog and our kids. I smiled, thinking about it, and leaned by head on the cool, car window. I was trying to forget everything that happened, and focused on what would happen. So far, the future looked to make up for everything that was happening now. I jumped, my daydreaming taken from me, as I suddenly heard a voice over the speakers in the car. I hadn't seen Aaron look at his phone or answer it, and I didn't expect to suddenly hear a voice on the car-phone system. At first, I was worried that the doctor was calling about Aaron. Maybe they got a test result back that was read incorrectly, and he needed to go back. When I heard the doctor say Eddie's voice, I glanced over at Aaron, with a slightly questioning look on my face. It faded soon, as I saw his own facial expression, and then just shrugged at his words. "If you need me, I'll go with you," I replied easy enough. "However, I think Eddie would prefer if I wasn't there. So, I can just wait in the car unless you see it's going to take more than a half hour." I never broke my smile as I spoke to him, and thought that maybe I would use the alone time to think for a while. I didn't want to be alone still, but I would do whatever Aaron wanted, and I didn't want him to worry about me if someone else needed his attention.

"I'll be just a minute. We can go look at houses after," I told him. I unbuckled my seatbelt and leaned him against the car window and kissed him. I got out of the car and smoothed my hair over with a small smile on my face. I walked into the building and was led to his room from there. I made my way to his room and saw him asleep on the bed, my blue eyes worried. I sat down in the chair by his bed and watched him take deep breaths in and out. I moved my hand over his shirt and saw where the bullet wound had been. I unbuttoned it slightly and looked at the wound. "I'm sorry," I mumbled, moving my hand near it. It was on his side near his stomach. I checked his heart rate as I touched him and it increased as I did. I sighed and kissed his hand, wishing I hadn't been so harsh to him earlier.

I leaned, up against the window with a smile as Aaron got out after kissing me. I took out my phone, and unlocked it, the major part of my confusion and depression gone for now. It was cute how Aaron told me we could look at houses after he got back. I would never have thought to be one of those people in my life. I never thought we would ever leave our flat, and it was both strange and wonderful to think about us really, truly, getting a place together. I opened the web browser, and played around with looking at some of the houses for sale near us, to keep my mind from thinking anything I didn't want it to. I stopped as a text from my dad popped up, and frowned a bit over it. It said nothing more than saying that we needed to talk. Right after it, followed a text from my eldest sister, quoting something about how my soul could still be saved and followed about something to do with it wasn't worth it for his money. I threw my phone in the back seat, angry at the last part. Is that what they thought? That I was just with Aaron because his family had money and he was getting it? I didn't care. I didn't even know he was the son of that man, nor about the money. We could be making min wage and working at a fast food place, while living in a small studio for all I cared. I loved Aaron for Aaron, and nothing more or less. He was my everything. Everything I lacked, he had. He was the me I wanted to see me be. For the most part, anyway. I tried to not think of anything as the phone began to ring.

The doctors came rushing in as his heart rate increased and saw me near him. I quickly wrote a note and slipped it under his hand before leaving so the doctors wouldn't have to force me out. I made my way back to our car and got in it, seeing a flustered Ren. "Are you okay?" I asked, closing the door. I rubbed my hand on his upper thigh again as our car sat in the parking lot. I watched as the sky dimmed and leaned my head on his shoulder. "I guess we'll have to look at houses tomorrow," I said. I remembered when we had been together for two years he took me in this car and drove to a cliff so we could over look the city and watch the sunset. It turned out to be a weird color because of the pollution and I laughed, kissing him anyway. It was moments like those, the ones that weren't planned, that I remembered the most. They always seemed so perfect even though they weren't.
