Chapter Two: Could He Trust Him..?
After the party Auden thought the best thing to do was ignore everyone, he completely went off on Eddy because he was upset. He just wished he didn't have a difficult time trusting people, it was already hard for him to allow people to be around him. It was like he was closing himself off more and his mother had noticed this and was starting to get worried. He would lock himself in his room for hours and only come out to eat something. His mother has had enough and decided to drop him off at the mall and leave him there on his own, maybe he'll run into a few of his friends.
That's how he got left standing in front of the mall dressed in winter clothing, his gloved hands pushed deeply into his pockets. He didn't know what to do with himself, he had enough money to get a few items of clothing and some food from the food court if he was to get hungry. He just couldn't believe his mother ditched him, and the malls was at least three miles away from his house and that was a deadly walk in the snow.
"What now?" he asked himself, his eyes wandering around the parking lot of the mall. He watched as a group of friends walked by him going into the mall, probably to watch a movie or do some shopping together. He felt more alone now, than he was sitting in his room all day. He was really debating on risking his legs to take that walk home.
"Auden?"
The sound of his name caused him to turn slightly to the side where he heard his name. He really didn't think he'd run into someone that knew his name here, it seemed like today wasn't his day since he's been avoiding people that he goes to school with. And to have Eddy standing a few feet away from him made the guilt stronger than before.
"What are you doing at the mall alone," Eddy hesitated but moved closer to him with caution.
Auden frown slightly at this act, he didn't want people to be afraid of him. He honestly didn't know what he wanted, did he want Eddy to leave him alone? Or did he want him to keep trying to get his attention? To prove that jocks aren't all the same, that he could trust him.
"My mom kind of ditched me," he looked away from him, he just wanted this guilty feeling to go away. He took a deep breath before speaking up again, "what are you doing here?"
Eddy smiles a bit, and rubs the back of his neck, "I was actually shopping for an apology gift for you, I know I kind of crossed-"
"What?" He asked. He was the one that was being a jerk to him, why the hell was he buying him an apology gift. This was freaking insane, he should be the one apologizing to him. He throw this entire fit, and started to ignore him afterwards, he was the biggest jerk in the world. "I should be the one apologizing to you."
Eddy shook his head, his hair swaying with the motion of his head. "You don't have to, you've obviously went throw something that bothers you and I should've realized and shouldn't have tried to pressure you for an answer on why you wouldn't give me a chance I was being selfish."
Auden couldn't believe this, he was apologizing to him this just made him feel even more guilty. Maybe Eddy wasn't like 'him' but he was like that too until the physical and mental abuse, how could he know he could trust Eddy, he couldn't. He would just have to what and see if he could trust him.
"You don't have to apologize," he gives him a smile which wasn't much, it was small and very weak. "How about we go get something to eat from the food court? Come to think of it I didn't get to eat before my mother dragged me here."
Eddy had a grin stretched on his lips, "let's go."
This was the very first time the two would be hanging out without the presence of Edd and Kevin, and Auden was starting to feel nervous about this fact. In the back of his mind this question still lingered 'can he trust him?' he just couldn't shake it no matter what. The two of them entered the semi full mall, and headed straight to the food court.
Auden shivered softly, getting this strangle feeling of being watched. His eyes would wander every once in awhile at they walked throw the crowd. It was starting to creep him out, he unconsciously would move closer to Eddy. 'Could he be here? No that's impossible he doesn't know where you are Auden, stop freaking yourself out.'
"What do you want to eat?"
Auden glances over towards Eddy, before looking off to find something he'd like to eat. "How about some pizza? I haven't had that in awhile," he grabs Eddy's arm and pulled him towards the line, trying to distract himself from the strange feeling of being watched.
Eddy looked down at Auden's hand that was on his arm and smirked, this was something right? This meant that he had a chance with this blue haired cutie. He had to do everything that Double D told him, and he'll get to be with Auden.
"Is the pizza here any good?" Auden asked while looking at the menu. He knew so many good pizza places back in his hometown, however he didn't know any good ones here. He looks over towards Eddy noticing he was still holding his arm, he blushes lightly releasing his arm.
Eddy couldn't help but chuckle at his action thinking it was cute, "this is the best pizza place in the entire mall, that's my opinion though."
He nodded his head knowing he could have a different opinion as Eddy, his taste buds whenever exactly like everyone else's. He looks away from moving forward along with the line, it was kind of awkward that he was here with Eddy without the others. And he still couldn't shake this strange feeling and it was making him uncomfortable.
The other seemed to notice his discomfort, because he started to give him a worried look, which he just responded with an poor excuse of a smile. He wasn't really that good at hiding his feelings, he turned quickly catching a glimpse of ashy blonde hair.
'Was that him? No it wasn't stop scaring yourself.'
Eddy gently places his hand on Auden's shoulder causing him to flinch in fear. "Auden are you alright? We're next in line."
Auden breath was slowly quickening, he was just scaring himself. "I'm fine, I was just daydreaming and you've kind of scared me," he chuckles softly and walked up towards the counter ordering a pineapple and ham pizza, which Eddy got one with chicken.
