Aaron got out of his dressing room in hurried steps and is heading for his rehearsal toward the stage.
He gasped when someone pulled him from the back. It was sudden, and he didn't get a chance to retaliate.
"What…?" Aaron's words were cut short when he saw Aiden.
"You! Why did you pull me into the restroom?", Aaron asked angrily when he realized that he is in an oversized family restroom, and Aiden is uncomfortably close. Aaron stepped back and bumped against the wall.
"What do you want?", Aaron squeezed through his teeth as images of Aiden and Jessica flashed in his mind. It was years ago, but that betrayal still burns in Aaron's heart like it happened recently.
"I want to talk to you.", Sarah's voice came from behind Aiden.
"Sarah?" Aaron's eyes widened in surprise. He can recognize that sweet voice anywhere! He craned his neck to the side to see behind Aiden. Aiden is slightly higher than Aaron, so Aiden was blocking his view.
Sarah is optimistic when she thinks that Aiden and Aaron can be friends. Only she can make friends in strange circumstances. :)
