Graycynn's Point of View
I never knew much about Ayden he was always really quiet about his home life I never really understood why, until now. For as long as I had known Ayden he never mentioned his father as far as I knew he didn't even have one. Some secrets you can't tell they are meant to be one person's secret. But was it really meant to be that way when you're married. Would he still be so quiet about his past or would he come out and tell me, I want to help him and I want to know what's bothered him. Maybe things will change that's all I can hope for, right?
We had been at home for day and a half all ready and Ayden still seemed shaken, but what am I supposed to expect. He has been a little closed off and a little more protective over me. He doesn't sleep at all, and refuses to eat or drink in his case. I tried to lull him to sleep but it hasn't been working. I'm worried about him….
"morning" Ayden walked down the stairs still with dark circles under his eyes but pretended to smile
"good morning" I said smiling and standing up off of our brand new couch .
"Do you want to go out today?" I asked trying to egg the conversation on but it didn't seem to work he shook his head and continued to the kitchen, I walked in after him still trying to get a conversation running, I sighed when I entered the room and began to talk.
"Ayden, we need to talk about this…" I said trying to sound sympathetic
"not right now…later…maybe" he said looking down at his cup filled with red thick liquid. It resembled wine but I knew it wasn't it had an iron smell to it.
I smiled to my self we are getting somewhere at least he's drinking, and not as grumpy as yesterday. I nodded at him and left the room in silence. I was going to rent movies maybe that would wind him down.
"I'm going to the video store I'll be back in a little" I yelled from across the rooms hoping he could hear me. He quickly dashed out into the kitchen.
"I'll come too" he said sighing and putting on his shoes and grabbing a jacket
he grabbed the car keys and opened the door for me and locking it behind us. It was mostly quiet drive to the video store. Silence flooded the car except for when I brought up random subjects to try and get him to talk… maybe it would lead into more conversations that we could talk about, or maybe I was getting in the way. I wasn't sure what to do or what to talk so I just turned the radio on. A happy upbeat song turned on with a tune that made me move my legs with the rhythm. Ayden quickly hit the button to a different station with a man talking about politics.
"Are you listening to this?" I asked questioningly
"how long have you known me" he smirked and I was a bit lost for a minute until he said more
"have I ever liked politics!" he said a full smile now stretched across his face now
I laughed because in Civics' he was all ways the one groaning all the way through it when he wasn't flirting with the girls, ducking questions with funny remarks or making me quiz him before a big quiz.
"What movies do you want to get he asked" he said he seemed a little happier already
"I don't know, you want anything specific?" I asked as the car came to a stop in front of the green and red video 7 building.
"Nah not really" he said getting out of the car and shutting the door and walking toward the door.
I followed behind not being as quick as him. The door made a painful screech when we walked though the doors which caused me to flinch. We made our ways thought the aisles quickly and picked out three movies. And went to the cashier I knew I was in for an ordeal all the way when we were walking through the store the lady behind the cash kept giving me looks and eying up Ayden. We approached the counter to hear a high squeaky voice come from the lady behind the cash
"hello!" she squeaked
"well hello" Ayden said leaning against the counter causing the lady behind it to blush. I elbowed him in the side and he straightened up quickly
"we'd like to rent these" Ayden said quickly in a moni-tone voice.
"Yes" the lady said taking the movies and turning but of course not before she shot me a death glare.
I just sighed and stepped behind Ayden I was never up for confrontations with the exceptions of a few. Ayden turned gave me a sorry smile and wrapped his arm around my waist I laid my head on his shoulder and the video girl turned around before I could move. And received the same look as before… just what I needed. Ayden took the DVD's and held my hand all the way out of the store and to the car he opened my door for me and closed it after I had gotten in climbing in beside me. He needed to talk I could tell and I was ready to listen to what he was going to say.
