...Long Gone...
HE FORGOT ABOUT IT
Two people were watching their friend from afar, who was currently playing with her adorable little girl.
........
Do you think he'll ever come back?
She utters a sigh as she shook her head.
？？？
I don't know. it's been years already.
........
If he does.... what are we supposed to do?
Aiden turned around and he immediately let himself fall into his girlfriend, hugging her tight.
The raven haired chuckled,
Aiden Helix
You missed me too much?
Rose Volkov
I haven't seen you for a week, after all!
Rose Volkov
No texts or calls from you too! I thought you already left me!
*whines, while pouting sadly*🥺
Rose noticed his eyes got a bit paranoid, not looking straight to her until he cleared his throat
Aiden Helix
Rosie, I love you okay? how can i ever leave someone like you?
Rose Volkov
Promise that you'll never leave me?
She asked, taking her pinky finger out
Aiden Helix
yeah, I promise.
He replied, interlocking their pinkies.
Rose Volkov
Now lock the promise 😗
Aiden Helix
okay *smiles a lil*
Aiden Helix
Promise locked 😊
Rose Volkov
anyway, how was your trip?
Rose Volkov
Fine? only fine?
Rose Volkov
Come on, tell me the details!
Aiden Helix
well... My parents are doing good. My sister is good as well.
Aiden Helix
Hmm... nothing much to share, I guess?
Rose Volkov
Then why weren't you answering my calls and texts?
Aiden Helix
I.... I had a lot of things to do back there.
Rose Volkov
Care to tell me what exactly were those things?
Aiden Helix
Rose, I just came back from a trip so i am really tired.
Aiden Helix
would really appreciate it if you stop asking questions for now.
She bits her lips as Aiden said those words.
She understood him because he is indeed tired from the trip but she wasn't just expecting his response to be this.
It was first time for her seeing his boyfriend like that.
Aiden noticed Rose's sudden mood change making him sigh again.
Aiden Helix
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lash out on you, I'm just really tired!
Rose gave him a reassuring smile
Rose Volkov
it's fine. I understand.
Aiden held her hand and squeezed it, leaning in to kiss the younger's forehead.
Then they made their way to Aiden's car to drive back to their dorm.
Aiden and Rose have been dorm mates ever since high school started.
it's also what started everything between them. However, their high school days are about to end and Rose still doesn't know what the future holds for the both of them.
Aiden said as he let himself flop comfortably on the couch as soon as the two entered their dorm.
Rose Volkov
Are you hungry?
Rose Volkov
Do you want me to cook something?
He shut his eyes and hummed
Aiden Helix
No, I'm fine. I just wanna rest.
He said, his voice getting softer with each word
A small smile curved on Rose's lips as she watch his boyfriend fall asleep slowly.
Rose Volkov
(He really is tired, isn't he?)💭
Rose grabbed a blanket from the room and covered him with it to prevent him from catching any cold.
She dimmed the lights and gave Aiden a kiss on the forehead before making her way to her bed. She took one final glace at him before laying down and shutting her eyes close.
Rose Volkov
( Yeah, we should rest. Tomorrow is a special day after all)💭
Next day, she woke up, a smile forming on her lips I'm excitement as she thinks of what day it is today.
She immediately got out of the bed and went out of the room, anticipating that Aiden would be in the living room but no, it was empty.
Not even any sound from the shower can be heard. She then noticed a note attached on the fridge.
Aiden Helix
✉️: I didn't want to wake u up when you were sleeping so soundly. I'll be heading to school first. Oh and don't worry, I'll just be having my breakfast outside as well.
A sigh escaped from Rose's lips. Her mood completely changed, her morning becoming not-so-happy one.
She walked her way towards the calendar attached to the door, putting her forefinger on the encircled date which is today.
Rose Volkov
Did he forgot what day it is today.?
She let out another sigh and shook her head.
Rose Volkov
It's fine! He's probably just tired. I'm sure he'll remember it later!
she said to himself, trying to cheer herself up.
She opened her closet only to take another glance at the hoodie she bought for him, making her lips curve into a smile
Rose Volkov
I hope he likes it😊
Rose was starting to get worried, her boyfriend doesn't seem to remember at all
Rose Volkov
(Did he seriously forgot about the special day like this? the date is literally on the board!)💭
Classes were about to end, Rose just kept staring on the date written on the board, hoping that Aiden will soon realize what day it is today.
But no. Classes just ended and no sign of him remembering it. They didn't even had a normal conversation during lunch, Aiden seemed to be quite all day.
Rose Volkov
(is he really tired?)💭
She snapped out of her thoughts as she realized Aiden was already standing in front of her.
Aiden Helix
You're spacing out again. come on, let's go home!
Rose nodded and held his hand as they walk their way back to their dorm.
She kept her silence during their walk, a lot of thoughts going through in her head.
They arrived at the dorm and Aiden did his own thing, putting his airpods on and scrolling through the social media as he sat on the couch.
Rose stood there, staring at him as as tries to prevent herself from being overdramatic.
Rose then decided to take the trash out. she went out of the room and made her way to the garbage room, dumping the trash in there.
She sighed one more time before heading her way back to their dorm. Before She could even open the door, she thought of something.
Rose Volkov
(He's just tired, maybe if I bring some drinks and food, he'll remember right?)💭
A smile curved into Rose's lips as she felt the excitement rush through in her.
she turned her back and made her way to the convenience store to buy the two of them some snacks and some beer.
she has always been the simple type of person who doesn't like celebrating luxuriously. after all, rose doesn't have the money to do so.
Aiden is a rich guy, like literal rich guy. regardless of Aiden's richness, Rose treats him like a normal person.
She doesn't ask him for stuffs, she's not materialistic after all. Being with him is enough for Rose.
She payed for the drinks and snacks in the counter before making her way back to the dorm again.
She returned to the building with a smile on her face with so much anticipation. but as she enters the room
A sigh came out of her mouth again, dropping the plastic bag on the table.
Rose Volkov
you really did forgot, huh!
Rose didn't wan to overreact, but it pains her to think that her boyfriend actually forgot about today.
She puts the drinks in the fridge and the snacks in the cabinet.
Rose took another glance at Aiden for a while, then she walked towards him, crouching to meet his eye level.
Rose Volkov
Happy anniversary, D! ~

I'M SORRY / IT'S OKAY!
Rose woke up with Aiden besides her. The younger assumed her boyfriend must've woke up in the middle of the night.
His strong arm's were around Rose's waist, hugging her comfortably.
A smile crept onto Rose's face just by the sight of her boyfriend.
Rose slowly removed Aiden's arms around her, getting out of bed. She sighed as she checked the calendar.
Rose Volkov
(Our anniversary has passed... and he didn't remember it) 💭
She went to kitchen and made some breakfast for both of them. Her mood was completely down the whole time, she just couldn't bring herself to be happy.
she understands him, she really does. But it was understandable for him to be upset. After all, anniversaries only come once in a year.
She cleaned up after eating her breakfast. She left Aiden's breakfast on the table before preparing for school.
Usually, Aiden and Rose would go together school, but today just doesn't feel like a mood for the younger.
She doesn't even think she can look at him straight in the eye. She left a note on the table, telling him she's going ahead.
She took another glance at him, kissing her boyfriend on the forehead before leaving for school.
Aiden woke up, trying to find the figure besides him. As he opened his eyes, he realized his girlfriend was not by his side.
He streched his arms before getting out of the bed. As he made his way to the kitchen, there was already breakfast prepared on the table, but Rose was nowhere to be found.
he then noticed a note attached to the fridge.
Rose Volkov
✉️:D~.. I'm going ahead. I prepared you breakfast, I hope you like it :)
Aiden shrugged and proceeded to eat his breakfast while scrolling through his social media.
Not long enough, he prepared for school and dressed himself in his uniform.
He opened the fridge to get some water when he suddenly noticed a bunch of beers stocked inside making him confused.
He opened the cabinet above and saw a lot of chips.
Aiden Helix
what's with all these food and drinks? Did Rose buy them?
He shook his head and decided to shrug it off. He grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and headed his way to the campus.
As he arrived in their classroom, he noticed Rose was not sitting in their usual place. Usually, the two of them sit besides each other during class, but today was different.
Rose was by the window, near the front. He was about to take a seat next to Rose's seat but apparently, someone already did.
Aiden watched Rose almost the whole time. He found the younger rather unusual today. Rose would usually be focusing on the lecture but instead, she was watching the birds outside the window, as if she was in another world.
As class ended he made his way to Rose's direction. He tapped on her shoulder while the younger was packing her stuff. Rose flinched as she felt the tap, eyes widening as she sees Aiden.
Aiden leaned closer to her
rose nodded, looking away from Aiden's eyes.
Aiden sighed, leaning away and ruffling Rose's hair.
Aiden Helix
I don't know what you are going through right now but cheer up, okay?
Rose gave him a nod and a lil smile
Aiden Helix
how about we go to--------
before Aiden could finish his sentence, Rose grabbed Elsa's arm who was just by her side,
Rose Volkov
S-sorry! I can't today, Elsa and I have somewhere to go!
Elsa furrowed her brows in confusion
Rose stepped on Elsa's foot making the latter scrunch her face in pain,
Rose Volkov
we do, right!?
Rose said, giving her an intense look to her best friend.
Aiden just tilted his head in confusion as he watched rose and Elsa walking out of the class hurriedly.
Suddenly, he felt an arm around his shoulder. As he glanced to his side, he saw Isaac.
Isaac Kingsley
Yah bro! how are you feeling today? hm?
Aiden Helix
I'm feeling normal, Isaac Kingsley. Thank you for asking.
Isaac Kingsley
huh, you are pretty normal. I thought you'd be bragging to me about yesterday.
Aiden furrowed his brows in confusion.
Aiden Helix
what's with yesterday!? 😕
Isaac Kingsley
Oh----- didn't you and rose just had your 3rd year anniversary yesterday?
Aiden's eyes widened as he heard Isaac's words.
Aiden Helix
That was yesterday!?
Isaac Kingsley
yeah! wait------dont tell me you forgot about it!?
Aiden Helix
(is that why there were drinks and snacks in our dorm?)💭
Aiden clicked his tongue, immediately grabbing his bag and rushing outta their classroom.
Issac stood their dumbfounded, blinking his eyes as he try to process the situation.
Isaac Kingsley
Did he literally forgot their fücking anniversary!?
Rose sighed as she leaned against the wall, lowering her head.
Rose Volkov
sorry for dragging you out here so suddenly, ella!
Elsa Warren
it's fine. why were you avoiding him?
Rose Volkov
He..... he forgot our anniversary.
Rose Volkov
D... he forgot our anniversary was yesterday.
Rose Volkov
even today, he doesn't know that it had already passed. we never even got to celebrate......
Elsa Warren
Dude, that's fücked up!
Rose Volkov
It is. I don't want to be overdramatic, you know.
Rose Volkov
He's tired from his trip, so I don't really blame him. But.... I just can't bring myself to talk to him normally as if nothing happened.
Elsa muttered as she wrapped her arms around her friend, giving her a comforting hug.
Elsa Warren
It will be okay!
Rose buried her face in Elsa's shoulder as she sighed.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps making her look up only to see her boyfriend who was sweating probably from running.
Elsa pulled away as she realized Aiden was there. she gave rose a nod and said
Elsa Warren
I'm going ahead, roseooo~
Before rose could even stop elsa, the latter already walked away, leaving the two of them alone.
Rose bits her lips, lowering her head to avoid eye contact with Aiden.
Aiden slowly walked closer to her, placing his fingers on Rose's chin and lifting her face up.
Rose refused to look up in Aiden's eyes, she just couldn't do it.
Aiden sighed, wrapping his arms around her waist and leaning closer to the younger's ears.
Aiden Helix
I'm so sorry...
Rose breathes heavily and hugged her boyfriend back
Rose has always been that type of person in their relationship. she's not very emotional so she tends to forgive without hesitation.
What Aiden did might've caused rose such pain but the younger was willing to set it all aside.
After all her boyfriend did apologize, what else was he supposed to do!
Rose Volkov
i-i bought this hoodie for you
Rose said as she slowly handed her gift to Aiden.
Rose Volkov
I'm sorry that it's not a branded clothing. I don't have---------
Aiden sushed, placing his hand on Rose's cheeks.
Aiden Helix
I love it..... thank you!
A smile curved onto Rose's lips as she hug her boyfriend tightly.
Aiden patted her head and whispered
Aiden Helix
I love you too baby. I'm sorry for forgetting our anniversary. I just-----had alot things going through my mind rn.
Rose Volkov
it's fine, I understand.
Rose pulled away from the hug and Aiden immediately crashed his lips on her's. Rose immediately compiled the action, moving her lips against her boyfriend's perfectly.
Aiden kept on pushing rose in the kiss until the younger's back hit the door on their bedroom. Aiden placed his hand on doorknob, twisting it open, not breaking the kiss between them and pushing rose inside before locking the door.

HE LEFT YOU!
Rose opened her eyes, feeling the pain in her body from what happened in between her and Aiden last night.
She saw Aiden out of the bed, Buttoning his white dress shirt as if he was about to go somewhere.
Rose called out as she rubbed her eyes.
Aiden glanced to her direction
Aiden Helix
Oh, Rosie. You're awake!
Rose Volkov
Are you going somewhere?
Aiden Helix
my grandfather called for an urgent meeting.
Rose Volkov
about what----
Before rose could ask about the "urgent meeting", Aiden leaned in and gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
Aiden Helix
I need to go, baby.
Aiden Helix
Take care, okay!?
He said as he grabbed his phone and his suitcase before leaving her girlfriend alone in the room.
Rose Volkov
he's really one busy person, huh!
She tried to get outta bed but her back pain is preventing her to. She sighed, grabbing her hoodie from the side and putting it on instead.
She leaned by the headboard of the bed and turned her eyes to the window, staring at the clear sky.
Rose Volkov
Aidan's grandfather... huh
Rose couldn't help but recall the past about her boyfriend's grandfather. The meeting of the two are quite cliché of a story, if you'll ask.
it was Aiden who first fell in love with Rose. Rose has always been the ignorant type of a person who doesn't really care about other people unless it's her friends, but Aiden was determined to get Rose.
The love story of the two started when they were assigned to be dorm mates for the rest of their high school life which Aiden took as an opportunity to court rose.
He had to go through a lot of rejections but in the end, he was able to make rose fall in love with him.
However, meeting Aiden's family was quite the problem for Rose. Aiden always tells her that it'll need some time before Aiden can officially announce his girlfriend.
in the end, Rose did met aiden's family. But it was a nightmare. Aiden's parents and sister didn't really have any prblm with their relationship. but his grandfather did.
Unlike Aiden. Rose was just a normal aspiring high schooler who pays her own tuition fee to study. Aiden, on the other hand is a rich guy who already had a future planned for him.
His grandfather didn't approve Rose, mainly because of his social status. He didn't trust the younger for his grandson's future.
He humiliated her in front of Aiden, his parents, and his sister. He humiliated her in front of the family table.
Rose was honestly at the verge of breaking up, but Aiden refused to. He told his girlfriend he'll be talking to his grandfather about the issue.
It's been 2 years since Rose last met aiden's family. Aiden has been telling Rose that he already talked to his grandfather and that everything about their relationship is all good now.
However, Rose still can't help but wonder if what Aiden said was true, considering the fact that he can't even meet his family again.
These days, Aiden has been very busy. The last trip that he had was when he went to America because of some family matter.
The two of them haven't been spending too much time together since Aiden was always not around. Despite the lack of time, that they have, Rose choose to understand her boyfriend's situation. After all, She doesn't really understand the life of the rich so she believes she has no right to complain.
But then again, She still can't help but wonder if everything Aiden was telling her was true.
Rose Volkov
is he..... l-lying?
Rose shook her head, trying to clear the negative thoughts inside her head.
Rose Volkov
No, I shouldn't doubt him. I..... trust Aiden.
It's been a week since Aiden left for the "urgent meeting" and rose still has no clue on what it is about.
She has never received any calls nor messages from her boyfriend. whenever she tries to call him, he's always out of reach. She tried to contact him through his social media, but to her surprise, Aiden has deactivated all of his accounts.
There she stood, completely uneasy about the situation while her friends tried to calm her down
Elsa Warren
Roseooo, you need to calm down.
Elsa Warren
He's probably just handling some of his family business again.
Winter Gray
worrying about it won't do any good, Rosieee.
Winter Gray
it will only stress you out.
Rose Volkov
But-----its been a week!
Rose Volkov
I can't help but worry about him!
Jayden gave Rose a pat on her shoulder.
Jayden Torrance
Aiden will be fine. you should chill out too, you know?
Isaac Kingsley
you have been stressed enough for the finals, you need a good rest.
Rose Volkov
Didn't you guys received any news from him?
Rose asked the both of them.
Jayden Torrance
No, I also tried calling him but he's not answering.
Rose Volkov
how about you isaac?
Isaac Kingsley
None as well.
Rose Volkov
i-i'm scared. What if he leaves me after what happened between us that night?
Rose Volkov
what if he's just------
Isaac Kingsley
Rose, don't think like that. you need to remove your negative thoughts from ur head.
Suddenly winter stood up from her seat with eyes widened as she held her phone.
Elsa Warren
what's wrong winnie?
Winter slowly looked up to Rose, not knowing what to say.
Winter Gray
R-r-rosie-e-e......
Elsa grabbed the phone from winter's hand and gasped as she saw wha was on the screen.
Elsa Warren
what the fück-------
Rose Volkov
what? what is it?
Isaac and Jayden walked to Elsa's direction to see what was on the phone.
Their eyes widened with shock as they landed on the screen.
Jayden Torrance
what the fück is this!?!?
Rose grew impatient. She grabbed the phone from Elsa's hand to see what her friends just saw.
She froze in her place as she read what was written on the screen.
Rose Volkov
n-no w-way......
She kept staring at the phone, her hands shaking as she repeatedly read the words.
"AIDEN HELIX, CONFIRMED TO BE ENGAGED WITH THE DAUGHTER OF THE WILLIAMSON FAMILY"
water started to form in her eyes, until she felt a drop on her cheeks.
Rose Volkov
T-this c-can't b-be right?
Elsa Warren
Roseooo.... he's gone.
Elsa Warren
Aiden Helix has left you.
Rose Volkov
A-after what happened between us that n-night?
Another week has passed since Rose saw the news about her boyfriend. For the past days, she has been looking herself in her room and opening all her books to study for the finals.
But the problem is, she's overworking herself.
Rose tends to do this. she opens all her books and calms herself by studying when she has problems. But this time, it was more of a torture for her.
She still can't accept the fact that her boyfriend is already engaged to someone else. She has been studying too much, too much that she didn't care about her health anymore.
She cries herself to sleep every night, and every morning she wakes up, she immediately opens her books to study. She has been skipping her meals. She can't even bring herself to drink water.
Her friends have been very worried about her, especially Elsa and winter. They stayed by Rose's side all the time. They tried to persuade their friend to take care of herself but the latter just ignored them.
Jayden and Isaac have been trying to find a way to contact Aiden but no matter what they try, they just can't reach him.
It pains their heart every single time they see Rose. She was like a human being who had a living body but dead soul.
Elsa and winter refused to leave Her side, afraid that their friend might do something dangerous to herself.
These days they've been noticing that rose was often going to bathroom. At first Elsa and winter didn't really mind, but then it came to their thought that their friend might've been harming herself inside.
The next time they saw their friend go to bathroom, they immediately followed her. As they got inside, they saw Rose vomiting.
Elsa got even more worried
Elsa Warren
Rose, have you been vomiting for the past few days?
Rose coughed, nodding her head in return.
Suddenly Winter's eyes widened with shock when she thought of only one thing.
Winter Gray
Rosieee~ are you perhaps........ pregnant?
Elsa Warren
Well, I don't even think he'll ever come back.
Elsa Warren
it's been 5 years. he's probably been married to his b!tch now.
Elsa Warren
why did you even think of that all of the sudden?
Winter sighed, shaking her head.
Winter Gray
I don't really know, it's just..... suddenly came to my mind.
