[ I am waiting for you , find me ,my love] ,Aiden bolted from sleep, he touched his face to find it wet with tears, his heart was stuffy his head filled with questions.
Whenever he has that dream, he felt at a loss like a part of him was missing but he couldn't remember it very clearly, not the woman's face, or who she was just that sad soft voice that seemed engraved in his soul.
He signed slightly and got out of bed as he sluggishly made his way to the bathroom, where he took a cold bath to clear his head. He made his way downstairs for breakfast.
[It was about time you showed up I was about to wake you, good morning hun how was your night]Claire, his foster mother asked. Aiden smiled at her as he scaned the room. His foster dad and their son was already at the table.
Aiden has no memories of his life before two years ago when his foster parents Lauren and Claire found him and took him home,took care of him and gave a place to belong and call home. He smiled as he walked to the dining table.
[Good morning mum, sorry for the wait my night was fine] Aiden replied as he took his seat at the table.[how many times have I told you no reading at the table] Claire scolded as she glared at her husband.
Lauren lifted his head and smiled placing the newspaper aside raising both hands up as a gesture of surrender.[ Surely whatever my wife says is law] he said nodding his head seriously.
Claire blushed deeply as she forced a glare at him,he suddenly laughed as he winked at her making her face as bright as a tomato. Aiden looked at them and smiled his parents really had a good relationship,which somehow made him envious.
After all was set breakfast was served, the room was filed with warmth and laughter, he was going to miss it he thought.
[I found a job today as a tutor]he decided to drop the bomb there and then and it worked as Lauren choked on his coffee going into a tight fit of coughing.
[At a small town, two towns away called palmwoods. I was hired by the Von Nelson family] he went on to say as if the first wasn't shocking enough this time their eyes widened so much it felt like it may pop right out of their sockets.
A complicated light flashed in their eyes disappearing as quickly as it came,[ what about school,you would be starting collage soon] Claire said worry and concern evident in her brown eyes.
[I know but I would like to work a little before admitting.] Aiden replied with a shrug,not the least bit concerned, he started eating again so he missed the subtle changes in the people present.
Aiden excused himself after breakfast as he went packing in his room,the sound of knocking at his door halted his actions.[ can I have a word pup] he asked as he stood in place. Aiden nodded and he walked in scanning the room as his eyes landed on the baggage he was preparing.
[ you don't really have to work,we are a family and we are more than capable to cater for you, so you don't have to do this] he said trying to persuade him to stay. Of course he knew he could stay and he wanted to but deep down he knew he had to go especially to that place.
Aiden smiled but said nothing,seeing that it was useless trying to stop him ,he sighed deeply [fine here you go remember to call when you arrive] he said no more after handing him a box, he stood and walked to the door, pausing before saying[ if you wish to come back our doors are always open] he smiled sadly before walking out.
Aiden took the box opened it only to find an address and some money,he smiled slightly his dad had never been one to be good with farewells.
[Okay,here I go ] he said as he finished packing bidding farewell and setting of to a journey that entails and unravel a lot.
