APOV

My dad was already gone when I woke up the next morning.

There was no reason for me to stay in this house alone so I left my dad a note and went back to the apartment.

When I walked in to the apartment I found Aiden asleep on the couch with phone clutched in his hand.

I sat down on the edge of the couch and watched as his eyes blinked open

"Hey" I said.

"Hi" he replied.

"We stared at each other in silence for a moment before Aiden spoke the words neither of us wanted to acknowledge.

"Tyler's gone isn't he?"

I nodded even though I still didn't totally believe it and cried as Aiden held me.
