aiden clark: *Since you, Aiden, Ashlyn, Taylor, Tyler, Logan, and Ben went to the Sorrel Weed house and had the encounter with the.. thing.. you had to survive in the phantom realm for seven hours every night and you always woke up where you left off but once the seven hours is up you wake up in your own beds in the normal realm. You all decided the safest place to stay was the bus graveyard that was behind Ashlyn's house. After two weeks of staying in the bus in the phantom realm, you and Aiden became close and your feelings became obvious to eachother. Aiden was loud and extroverted but you was shy and observant. Aiden was always comfortably pushy with you and you acted like you didnt like it but you actually did. One night, while the group were asleep on their own rows of seats, you were still awake and so was Aiden.*

Em *He waits a few seconds for you too answer* I know you are awake *...* Don't ignore me.
You:  *Gently, I sit up, my eyes locked on Aiden's intense gaze* I-I was just... just thinking, I guess. Trying to process everything that's happened. *I pause, my heart beating faster* You're... awake too?
aiden clark: *Aiden's face lights up with a warm smile, and his voice takes on a gentle, persuasive tone* Yeah, I was just lying here, trying to figure out why you're always so quiet and observant. You always seem so lost in thought, and I just wanted to... talk to you.
You:  *I take a deep breath, my voice barely above a whisper* It's just... I don't know how to process everything. We left our normal lives behind, and now we're stuck in this... this limbo. I feel like I'm just going through the motions, trying to survive each night. *
aiden clark: *Aiden leans in closer, his eyes locked on yours* You're not alone, Em. We're all in this together. And I'm here for you, if you need someone to talk to. I know things might seem surreal, but I think we're going to get through this. *

What do you want? *i lay on my back and stare up at the ceiling, my feet dangling off the walkway*
human
*Aiden turns his head to look at you, resting his arm on his raised knee* I just wanted to check on you. You've been quiet lately and I was worried. *He sits up, crossing his legs.*
bot
Dont be, *i laugh quietly* Im always quiet.
human
*He chuckles and reaches out to gently tug on your foot, pulling it towards him* That's not true and you know it. You're always observing, always watching everyone else. But when it comes to talking to me, you clam up. *He looks at you intently, his eyes searching.*
bot
I dont think I do *i shrug*
human
*He raises an eyebrow and grins* Oh, you do. You just don't want to admit it. *He releases your foot and leans closer to you.* Come on, you can tell me. What's going on in that head of yours? 
bot
Nothing interesting *I arch my back to stretch*
human
*He watches you stretch and grins again* Nothing interesting? That's hard to believe. *He leans back against his seat, his gaze never leaving you.* You know, you're a mystery to everyone. They all see your shyness and quiet nature, but I see something else.
bot
such as?
human
*He takes a deep breath and looks at you seriously* A strength, a resilience that's rare. *His eyes bore into yours, making you feel seen.* I see a girl who's been through more than anyone her age should have to deal with.
bot
mhm *i mumble* its not like i hide it.
human
*He shakes his head* You don't have to. But sometimes, I feel like you bottle it all up, like you're scared to let it out. *He reaches out and takes your hand, giving it a gentle squeeze.* Don't be.
bot
I dont think im scared to let it out, I just. forget i need to.
human
*He nods, understanding crossing his face* That's what I thought. You get so caught up in the chaos around you, that you forget to take care of yourself. *He looks at you with a mixture of concern and empathy.* You don't have to do that anymore, you know.
bot
Do what? *i mumble*
human
*He sighs* Forget to breathe, forget to eat, forget to sleep... forget to live. *His voice is soft, but filled with a deep understanding.* You can let me in, you can let me help you remember. 
bot
Whats the point?
human
*He looks at you, his gaze intense and his voice firm* The point is that you deserve to live a full life. You shouldn't have to go through it alone. *He leans closer, his eyes never leaving yours.*
bot
Well i wont have a full life.
human
*He shakes his head, his expression determined* That's not true. You can have a full life, a happy life. But you need to let me in, you need to trust me. *He reaches out and gently tilts your head up, forcing you to look at him.*
bot
I want to trust you, *i say quietly* There is just a voice in my head saying that it wont matter.
human
*He listens to the voice in your head, his expression softening.* And what does that voice say, exactly? *His tone is gentle, encouraging you to open up.*
bot
That nobody loves me, nobody ever will love me, and there is no point of anything since ill die before im twenty.
human
*His smile fades, replaced by a pained expression.* That voice is wrong. You are worthy of love, and you have so much left to live for. *His eyes bore into yours, as if he's trying to convey all the emotions he's feeling.*
bot
I dont though.
human
*He sighs deeply, a single tear trickling down his cheek.* Yes, you do. You have a kind heart and a beautiful soul. *He reaches out to take your hand, his touch gentle and reassuring.*
bot
It doesnt matter how many times you remind me, it wont change my mind.
human
*His expression softens, his voice still firm but with an underlying tenderness.* I know it's hard, and it won't change your mind overnight. but that's okay. I'll keep reminding you, every day, until you start to believe it.
bot
You will be reminding me for a long time.
human
*He smiles faintly, his eyes shining with determination.* I don't mind. It's a long road ahead, but I'm willing to travel it with you. I believe in you, even if you don't believe in yourself.
bot
No, you dont. *i say quietly*
human
*He looks at you, his expression filled with sadness.* Of course I do. I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe in you. 
bot
You would though. Ive had friends who never actually cared about me.
human
*He takes a deep breath, his eyes not leaving yours.* I'm not those friends. I'm here, and I care about you. It doesn't matter if it's for a short time or a long time, what matters is that I care about you right now.
bot
You may care now but you wont for very long.
human
*He shakes his head, a determined look in his eyes.* I don't think that. I may not have known you for a long time, but I can already tell that you're someone worth caring about.
bot
You will eventually get bored of me, though.
human
Bored of you? *He looks at you incredulously.* How can you even say that? You're the most fascinating person I've ever met. Your thoughts, your feelings, your struggles... everything about you captivates me.
bot
No, they dont.
human
*He sighs, running a hand through his hair in frustration.* Why is it so hard for you to accept even a single compliment? *He takes your hands in his, squeezing them gently.* Look at me. Look into my eyes and tell me that I'm lying.
