Ok, wow. All my readers seem to have the same reaction, Ch.1: I HATE Aiden. Ch.2: Aww, Aiden is sooo sweet. This chapter is mostly filler, it will go into detail about Aiden, and Ellie. I've decided to dedicate this chapter to Josh Irvin who was killed this past weekend in a car accident. He went to my school, and was a great guy, Josh my thoughts are with you.
And I Was Happy
Ch. 3 Secrets
Ellie gaped at Aiden in shock. Dylan's name hadn't been mentioned in three years. After a few minutes of stunned silence, Aiden asked, "Ellie, what's wrong? Is it something I said?"
Stunned out of her reverie Elli replied, "No! It's not you, of course not!" Aiden looked at her curiously and aske, "Then what is it? Does it have something to do with that guy? Cuz I can call him back." Ellie smiled at his protectiveness, "No, don't do anything... and don't tell Marco."
Aiden gave her a disgruntled look, and started to protest, but Ellie interupted him, "I know, it's wrong and it's evil, but we can't tell him. It would just upset him, and he's so happy right now. Aiden wasn't happy with this answer, but he trusted Ellie. After a few moments, he began preparing for bed. He brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and told Ellie goodnight. He lay down next to his lover and.... didn't sleep.

Marco woke to an empty, cold, Aiden-less bed. He got up to investigate, and found a note on the fridge, "Hey babe, went for a run. Be back later -Aiden." So that's where he was, Aiden was a fitness freak. Marco checked digital clock on the microwave: 7:30. He decided to go shopping, he could try to make up the anniversary for Aiden.
Three hours later Marco walked slowly, browsing, through a vintage record store. He was looking for either a 70's or 80's original recording. He looked and looked, but nothing seemed to be for Aiden. That is until he saw the display case up front. Right there sat an original 1976 Ramones album. Perfect. He signaled the clerk over, and requested the album. The clerk looked at him sceptically and said, "are you sure? Cuz it isn't cheap." Marco just smiled, money was no object when it came to Aiden, "yes I'm sure." He paid for the record, and left the shop. Marco checked his watch, 11 o'clock. He had just enough time to get across town. He strapped the record to his back, jumped on his bike, and sped away.

Across town, Aiden wasn't listening to his psychology professor. He couldn't stand hiding something from Marco, even though El said it would hurt him. He wanted, no needed to tell him. He hated secrets, and so did Marco. Once his class was out, he ran from the room, and across campus, disregarding his homework assignments. He stood at the door of Marco's class, standing on tip-toe to see over the crowd. He saw the small Italian moving down the hall with a bag in his hand. Marco looked up and saw Aiden, freezing in the hall. He smiled, nervously. Aiden then saw Ellie streak past him, straight to Marco. She grabbed his hand and tore him down an adjacent corridor, giving Aiden a warning look. Frustrated, Aiden tried to follow, but the crowd wouldn't let him pass.
The bell rang, and Aiden looked into Marco's class, they had snuck in through the door on the opposite side of the room. Marco wouldn't look at Aiden, and that was strange. Something was going on, and Aiden didn't like it. Did Ellie tell him? Was Marco hiding something? Aiden couldn't worry about it now, he had to get home. He had work to do.
(-)(-)(-)
Aiden sat at home watching the news, and working on a project. He checked his watch, Marco should be home anytime now. The doorbell rang, startling him. He stood and walked to the door, opening it. On the other side stood a very tall, handsome blonde man. Something seemed cold, and detached about him. After a short silence Aiden asked, "can I help you?"
The man looked at him, and said with a very familiar voice, "is Marco around?"
Oooh, cliffhanger! Ok, I know it's short, but I was trying to get it out fast, thank you to all who reviewed, you people are gods! Again, I will give out edible yumminess to whoever reviews!
