One
She's lived alongside him for months. During that time they've flirted, argued, even kissed. But he still refuses to let her get close to him. This infuriates her; she has never failed in getting what she wants. He lets others get close; Roman, Belle, even Morag, but never her. Sometimes she wonders why he's so messed up; it's obvious to her that it's something to do with his family. She sees him as no-one else does; when he's at home and he's just being himself. She loves him when he's like that; she only wishes that he could see it.

The teenager runs along the beach, trying to catch up with the one he loves. He calls out her name, and she turns, a smile lighting up her face. He reaches her and they embrace; a warm hug then a tender kiss. Aden turns away from the sight and begins to walk towards home. Every step hurts as he thinks about the girl on the beach, the girl that was once his. He missed his chance with her, and now she has somebody else. He remembers the soft touch of her lips against his own, and he starts to cry.

Campbell had always irritated him. 'Bible Boy' had been the best at everything; football, friendships, school. Aden had seen the way that Campbell and his grandfather had worked together, and that had hurt. Because even though Campbell complained about the old man, they loved each other, and looked out for each other. Sometimes Aden wants to tell him to stop complaining and to just be glad. But that would mean explaining about his own Grandad, and about how much he had been hurt by him. Instead Aden taunts Campbell, insults him, hurts him; because it's easier than telling the truth.
