Chapter 2

“So is everything ready for the sleepover? “

“Yeah, got plenty of junk food in the fridge for us to binge on, is Angelo able to come or he is working?”

“Um, I haven’t asked him yet. But I know he’s not working” Belle scribbled down on a sheet of paper, trying to fool her into believing she was busy focusing on something else, when really she couldn’t care less if Angelo was there or not.

“Okay. Geoff, Annie, Jai, Nicole, Ric, me, you and possibly Angelo is coming to the sleepover bash, correct? “Mattie looked Belle who was writing a list of movies.

‘That is correct’ Belle confirmed.

“This is gonna be awesome, been ages since we had movie marathon. And you’ll hopefully have someone to cuddle up to tonight” Belle sighed. “What?” Mattie was surprised by Belle’s lack of enthusiasm. “Nothing....it’s just I’m not really into Angelo that much....” This came as a surprise Matilda assumed Belle hooked up with him because she liked him, “Then why go out with him if you’re not interested...” her voice drifted. “For Irene’s sake I guess...I haven’t exactly been the perfect foster child have I?” Mattie tried holding in a laugh, “Ah yeah you’re right. You’ve done some pretty stupid things over the years”

“Exactly, plus I mean Angelo’s a decent guy.....he’s sweet, kind and mildly funny...” Belle’s voice lacked passion when she spoke of her boyfriend. “Mildly funny? Is there some other guy that you find funnier?” Mattie questioned her, keen for Belle to reveal all the details about her love life. “Ah no, look at the time I better be going” She got up of the chair pushed it in and waved goodbye. Breathing a sigh of relief Belle walked along the waterfront the majority of the time Belle would wear her bikini underneath her clothes today was no different, sweating like a pig she decided to take a quick dip into the ocean.

However, this side of the beach wasn’t patrolled ‘oh well’ Belle told herself, stripping her clothes off Belle made her way into the water. ‘Oh that feels so good’ the waves were more intense on this side, not caring about the intensity of waves she swam out even further. Now unable to touch the bottom she looked out not a soul was on the beach, it was nice to have some peace and quiet for a change. ‘Whoa’ a massive wave sucked Belle under, luckily she was able to resurface, ‘Argh’ Belle started to panic, and the waves crashed into one each other. ‘Help’ Belle screamed it was clear to her that she was now caught in a rip, the water starting dragging her out even further. What was worse was she was very close to a cluster of rocks. “Someone body help me” She then swallowed a mouth full of water.

“God Nicole is so annoying” Aden kicked the sand as he walked passed Belle who was struggling under the water. A blurry image of a figure walking pass on the sand made her scream again for help “HELLO, HELP, HELP” Waving her hand in the air, Aden stopped and looking out to the ocean barely hearing her cries for help he managed to spot her “Oh my god” Not knowing who was stuck out there Aden immediately stripped his clothes off and ran towards the water. “I’M COMING, HOLD ON” he shouted.

‘Belle?’ Aden managed to make out the girl’s face.

‘Aden??” Belle didn’t expect Aden to be saving her.

“Belle, grab onto me quick” Aden extended his arm out, Belle then grabbed his hand.

“Aden!” Belle screamed as another wave smashed on top of her. Aden’s hand couldn’t keep hold of Belle’s. They were both now inches away from the extremely dangerous rocks. “Belle, where are you” Aden said with water seeping into his mouth. “Aden” Belle’s body scrapped across the rocks, a small patch of red floated to the surface. “Ouch” Belle screamed in pain.

“BELLE? Are you alright?” he said as he swam closer trying to grab onto her arm or hand.

“It hurts” she cried.

“I got you, Belle I did you to swim, swim towards the shore Belle. You can do it, I’ve got you” Not letting go of her hand the two swam towards the sand. As the reached the shored as pulled her forwards and then decided to carry her over to the sand, lying down Aden saw her injuries. Blood streamed down her body, her arms and legs, and the side of her stomach had been severely cut. “Come on I’m going to take you to the hospital” Belle picked her up again, “Argh, ouch. It hurts Aden” Belle screamed in pain, the cuts was deeper than an ordinary cut. “Rachel help” Aden carried Belle and popped her down on one of the hospital beds. “What happened?” Rachel asked quickly scanning her body. “I was swimming and got caught in a rip. The water pulled me towards some rocks and now...” Rachel didn’t need Belle to explain any more. “Belle, do you want me to call Angelo or Irene?” Aden asked respectfully. “No” Belle shook her head as Rachel dapped some antiseptic on her wounds. “Are you sure, Angelo would be worried about you” Belle gave a look of anger “Why do you care so much about whether Angelo knows I’m in hospital or not?” Aden went to speak but no words could come out, why did he care? “I’m just trying to do the right thing” Belle looked anger “The right thing? Oh yeah sure Aden Jefferies wants to do the right thing for a change!” Rachel stopped and looked at her “Belle, Aden just saved your life” Belle looked at the floor and shook her head.

“Just leave Aden; what do you want everybody to think you’re some kind of hero now? Just because you saved me? What do you want Irene or Angelo to know that you saved me so they can tell everybody in the town how great you are now” Aden started to frown “If that’s why you think I did it then you’re more arrogant then I thought” Belle and Aden exchanged looks of anger “Why did you do it” she snapped quickly back. “Because I care about you!” This was it Aden couldn’t take anymore of this, and left.

“Oh my goodness Belle” Irene threw her arms around her when she arrived home; Angelo was wearing his police uniform “Why didn’t you call us girlie at the hospital?” Irene asked holding her tightly. “I didn’t want you to worry” Angelo then kissed her cheek “Don’t ever scare me like that again. God...” Angelo cuddled her. Rachel had called and informed of Belle’s accident, leaving out the part where Aden rescued her. “How did you get out you manage to get out of the rip?” Angelo looked at her worriedly. “Oh a local lifesaver spotted me and swam out” Belle lied, deep down somewhere she knew that Aden wouldn’t have wanted the credit, but it was very unusual for Aden to be so caring, especially towards Belle. “You’re safe now that’s the main thing” Angelo stroked her hair. Belle pulled a fake smile.

“Where have you been?” Nicole crossed her arms as Aden walked passed her and into the kitchen, jumping onto her feet Nicole followed him into the kitchen. “Go away princess Nicole” Aden refused to turn around to look at her, pouring a glass of juice he let out his frustration by exhaling. “Where have you been, Roman has been driving me crazy all morning” Nicole winged dumping he Gucci bag on the table. “Nicole, just shut the f**k up” Aden shouted at her. “Okay, Aden just calm down. Hey I know why don’t we go upstairs for a few minutes and you know...” Nicole winked at him. Aden sick and tired of Nicole chasing Aden and craving his attention yelled “NICOLE, I DONT WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU. I WOULD NEVER EVER EVEN IF I WAS PAID A MILLION DOLLARS THERE WOULD BE NO CHANCE OF ME HOPING INTO A BED WITH YOU!” Nicole’s mouth dropped open no one had ever refused an offer from her before “Well I guess that’s a good thing that you’re not coming to Mattie’s sleepover!” She groaned storming off.

“He what?” Mattie asked in shock almost falling over as she hung several decorations around the living room.

“Yeah, he saved me....Aden of all people....he only did it because he wanted to look like a hero”

“Or maybe he did it like said because he cares about you” Mattie sang laughing.

“Shut up” Belle said defensively.

“Belle, Aden has been teasing you for ages now. Maybe it’s because he likes you”

“Yeah right, and it’s not teasing. He’s just wants to annoy the hell out of me”

“Sure, sure...whatever you say. It’s so damn obvious he has the hots for you. Hey I know why don’t we invite him over tonight, Nicole is coming” Belle looked at her in horror. “You can’t be serious, weren’t you just saying a minute ago how great it is that I’m with Angelo” Belle was confused, why was Mattie all of sudden wanting Belle to get with Aden when she was finally with a decent guy.

Mattie giggled, “Yeah that was until you told me night in shiny armour saved you”

“Just stop it Mattie, I’m with Angelo. Aden doesn’t like me”

“Okay well then if he doesn’t like you and if you don’t like him, which you claim then why not invite him over tonight. You should at least say thank you to him instead of being a total brat about it”

“OH! I am not being a brat” Belle hit her with a red balloon.

“Yes you are”

“Am not” Belle said crankily.

“Are too. Anyway my mind is already made up. Aden is coming to this party” Mattie smiled cheekily, she could see her friend was majorly pissed off.

“Fine then I’m not coming”

“Yes you are”

“Wanna make a bet?” Belle of course would show up regardless of Aden being present at the party, Belle just liked to complain.

“Just deal with it, Taylor. So should I invite him or you?”

“I’ll do it....” Belle rolled her eyes.

There was a knock at the door, Aden thought Nicole had left her keys at home again. Not wanting to speak or see her he continued to sit on the couch and watch TV. The knocking continued annoyed Aden stood up forcefully and opened the door. “Hi” Belle put on a friendly smile, frighten by Belle’s appearance at his house Aden slammed the door. ‘oh my god’ His heart raced as well as his breathing ‘did I just shut the door in her face, man you’re such a loser’ Opening the door back up trying to regain his confidence “What do you want?” he asked carefully making sure his words weren’t stumbled.

“I was just wondering if you would like to come to Mattie’s sleepover tonight.” Aden stared for a second surprised by her offer. Unsure of whether he heard her Belle asked again, “Oh um. I can’t I’m busy...yeah I got an assignment to do...” Belle looked unconvinced. Aden doing school work what a shocker. “Okay...” Belle started to back away. “Why are you asking me anyway?” Aden quickly added. Belle turned around “because you saved my life and were friends” she smiled. “We are friends......?” Aden could hardly believe these words were coming out of her mouth. “So do you wanna come?” Aden licked his lip “Yeah sure” he causally said deep down he was nervous but also thrilled about it.

“Hey guys” Mattie greeted Annie and Geoff. Belle was already there helping Ric out with the preparation of the food. Angelo was due to arrive at 7. It was six thirty, Jai was in the longue room organising the sleeping bags and pillows. Aden then arrived at the front door, Belle was wearing a dress with yellow, green strips with a bit of orange at the end of the dress with a blue scarf (the dress she wore when they first kissed in home and away). Aden was wearing his brown jacket with a green shirt underneath. “Hi” Aden greeted Ric and Mattie; Nicole rolled her eyes when she saw that Aden had been invited as well. “Did he really have to come?” Ric whispered to Mattie. “Yes now shut up” she whispered back. Jai, Annie, Nicole and Geoff were already on the mattresses and blanket watching friends on channel seven. Aden then walked and saw Belle in the kitchen by herself taking hot sausage rolls out of the tray onto a plate. “Hey” he said quietly as he smiled. “Hi Aden” she barely looked up.

“Thanks for inviting me” he said watching her intensely. Aden looked around searching for Angelo, “Boyfriend not coming tonight?” he asked causally. “Yeah he’ll be here soon” Aden looked disappointed but Belle was too involved with the preparation of the food that she didn’t notice his disappointment. All of a sudden “Hello everybody, where’s my beautiful girlfriend?” he asked using that cheesy tone flashing a corny smile at everybody. “In the kitchen” Mattie yelled out. “Hey gorgeous” Angelo leant over Aden and kissed Belle’s lips. ‘God what a loser’ Aden mumbled under his breath. Making his way into the room to join the others Aden looked back at the kitchen Belle and Angelo began to make out, Belle giggled as Angelo’s hand was placed on her waist. Aden physically felt sick, realising his true feelings for Belle. He sat on the couch by himself, his eyes were teary. No one noticed or would even care for that matter that Aden was upset. Looking back on final time, Belle eyes opened glancing at Aden Angelo started to trail kisses along her neck. Belle’s eyes were locked with Aden’s, her expression was almost sympathetic.

‘I can’t do this, I can’t be here, I’ve got to get out of here’ Aden’s thoughts rushed a million miles an hour, his mind went through every possible excuse to leave the party, none believable or realistic enough. Angelo and Belle had finished in the kitchen, Belle dimed the lights and everybody made themselves conformable, except for Aden who sat by himself on the cough holding his pillow that he had brought tightly. Hoping it would offer him some comfort Belle’s arms would have been way cosier.

Ric and Mattie laid side by side on the mattress, Annie and Geoff were lying beside each other also, Belle’s head rested on Angelo’s chest area, while Nicole didn’t care that she had no one to cuddle up to she was just happy being there. “Are you cold” Aden heard Angelo asked Belle, Belle shook her head. Angelo despite her saying she wasn’t cold covered her with more of the blanket. Aden felt sick every time he looked down at the two. 9:32pm ‘How long can I take this for?” Aden asked himself in totally agony. Maybe he hadn’t been such a jerk from the start that would be him and Belle lying side by side. ‘But no I had to stuff everything up, as usual’ his mind screamed at him. Geoff, Nicole, Annie was sleep. Ric, Mattie, Belle, Aden, Angelo and Jai were fully awake. Jai was feeling very drowsy and would definitely nod off any minute. Aden was too stressed to fall asleep, but by 12 everyone had fallen asleep.

Angelo’s arms was in a position where it was pulling Belle towards him. Belle’s head slept on his chest.

“Stop it, don’t touch me. Get your hands off me. Please” Aden screamed in a childish voice, protecting himself by his hands, covering his private bits. “Shh” the old man whispered “It’s alright, I’m not going to hurt you Aden” But before he knew it the old man began to touch him in places where a child should not have been touched. “No, No, please. Dad help me, dad” Aden eyes shot open quickly panting and sweating Aden sat up looking around to see if anyone was wake. Usually when Aden had a nightmare he would have a glass of milk and then go back to bed. Tip toeing over to the fridge he obtained the milk, pouring a glass he heard a noise behind him. “What are you doing” Belle whisper Aden jumped with a fright. “Jesus you scared me” Belle laughed “Sorry”. It was one in the morning; this was the usual time Aden would wake up and have something to drink.

“Is everything alright?” Belle asked showing her concern.

“Yeah I’m fine, are you going back to sleep now?” Aden just wanted to get her out of his face.

“In a minute, give me a minute! I’m thirsty too you know” She complained grabbing his glass and taking a sip out of it.

“Sorry” Aden felt bad for always back chatting her.

“It’s cool...Aden I just wanted to say thank you for yesterday. Thank you for rescuing me” Belle said sweetly.

“Belle please don’t mention it. Seriously, it’s no big deal” he just wanted to forget it ever happened, it was better when she didn’t know his true feelings for her.

“Yes it is, I thought you were this self centred guy, but I was wrong” her mood lighten up, she used a friendlier tone with him.

Aden told her, “Belle trust me I’m everything you know me to be”

“I don’t think so”

Belle, you’re fooling yourself into believing something that’s not true okay. I’m a bad guy, I only did it for the credit I wanted to be seen as a hero.

You’re lying

I’m not lying it’s the truth

Whatever Aden, I know why you did it and it wasn’t because you wanted to look like a hero

Then why did I do it Belle, why tell me that

Because you.....you care about me....?

So what if I do, you’re with super cop and like you said were just friends? Oh and by the way you can’t just go from hating me to loving me can you. That’s just stupid

Maybe it is, but maybe deep down I’ve always had this sense about you

Oh that’s bull and you know it

“I’m trying to tell you how I feel, but you know what you can get stuffed” Belle stormed back off to her bed. Aden minutes later went back onto the couch and closed his eyes, looking up and him Belle looked at Angelo then at Aden. This isn’t where she wanted to be. Who cares if everybody found her sleeping with his arms around her, she certainly didn’t give a damn. Pushing the covers off her Belle quietly walked over to the couch, pushing Aden’s arms back she laid in front of him and then covering herself with his arms. Aden couldn’t barely move, but once he relaxed he tighten his grip on her body and cuddled her “goodnight Belle” he whispered into her ear. “Good morning Aden” she whispered with her eyes closed. Smiling Aden looking at the back of her head kissed her hair, ‘you’re so amazing’ he said inaudibly, Belle had already fallen asleep.

Hope you like this one, please tell me what you think of it. xox

Thanks for the message! In my story Aden is kinda of a lifesaver lol. There was a rumour going around that Aden was going to be a lifeguard but oh well we can still dream.

[Symphony]

That was such an enjoyable chapter - although I'm a bit worried about how Angelo will react to waking up ...

But I really felt for Aden in this chapter - especially when he was sitting along on the couch hugging his pillow!

Fantastic job with this - looking forward to next one!

Great chapter. Awww Aden saved Belle-what a hero! P

I feel for Aden when he's having a nightmare about his past.

Loved the chat between Aden and Belle. And how lovely they said good night to each other.

Update soon

Loved Hero Aden, but Belle didn't have to be so mean to him in the hospital Glad she thanked him in the end though.

That ending was AOL. I wonder what everyone else is going to say/do when they find out!
