Aatrox owns levels 1-2: his Q edges out-range and out-damage your Mortal Steel pokes, and a clean sweet-spot knock-up lets him chain his Q combo for a brutal trade. Don't walk up to last-hit inside his Q range — take the CS you can get safely and don't contest short trades you'll lose. His base damage and drain are simply higher than yours this early.
