Aurora's Secrets Chapter 27
"Why the fuck are you smiling like that?"Aurora's head snapped up at the sound of the brusque voice, her eyes narrowing on that of Evan's. He tried to peek at her phone but she quickly hid it away from his view, tucking it into the front of her overly large large. It was a pink fluffy material that she was regretting wearing since it was almost sixty degrees out here, even with the air conditioning she could still feel sweat rolling down her back."Your lover boy, huh?" Evan perused, grinning mischievously.She scoffed and rolled her eyes, choosing to ignore him and facing forward. Her aunt stepped out of the dressing room then, clad in what looked like a black bottega that she was sure just came out this season,Aunt Christy twirled left and right, the light material flowing with the motion, "What do you think? Fabulous, isn't it?"The clerk that had followed her in nodded enthusiastically, "You look wonderful, ma'am!" she clapped, "It's almost like the dress was made for you." Whi

Her legs moved in accordance with the haunting tone, she pushed herself with her feet off of the ground and did a wide twirl. The music was like a soothing balm to her soul and the steps came easily to her. This was why she liked dancing The Swan, it felt similar to her own life. Trapped, unable to live life freely, to love freely and under a spell, most possibly for the rest of her life. She prepared to do the final quadruple arabesque when the music cut off suddenly, causing her eyes to fly open. "I can't imagine why people enjoy shitty dances like this," Ryan said gruffly, his hands were tucked in his pockets and he was leaning against the entrance doorframe. She cocked her head to the side and placed a hand on her hip, "When did you come in?" "That doesn't really matter," He answered, walking further into the room, "I brought food." He raised the lunch pack in his hand, the corner of his lips quirking up. She frowned when he settled beside where she stood, folding his legs as

Breakfast was usually an excruciating task for her, she had to sit through minutes of long talk and watching other eat the interesting food while she got the bland ones.Aurora had never gotten the chance to eat sweets or any of those meals advertised on TV, from the moment she clocked ten when her mother decided that her only child was going to become a ballet prodigy, those privileges were taken away from her.Her diet was watched strictly, she wasn't allowed to gain even an inch nor was she supposed to get thinner. Her mother's expectations was that she maintained that perfect weight or the supermodel weight as she called it.Aurora thought everything was bullshit though but she'd never complained. She ate what she was given and rejected was she was not supposed to eat.At least, that was how her life had gone until him.She blinked at the small piece of steak sitting on her plate, it looked juicy and smelled even juicer. She was practically salivating by now and her stomach begged

Knock Thrice."Who's there?""Scarface."Door opens, walks into the dark room, door shuts. Apprehension slithers in as she walked blindly through the narrow passage. Her vision slowly adjusted and she was able to see that they were heading towards the light area at the end of the passage.She was going to regret this. A warning voice at the back of her head was screaming for her to go back, that this was reckless and stupid.Her parents were going to arrive tomorrow and if she didn't come back tonight or if she was caught then her mother would throw another fit. Maybe ground her for a whole year.But she kept moving forward."Enjoy the party," The bouncer told her, pulling open the curtain that served as a entryway. Her eyes widened when she saw what was happening. It was a full house, quite similar to the one she saw back in Ontario. Everyone was cheering and she was pretty sure they were drunk as well.Aurora released a frustrated exhale. How in the world was she supposed to find hi

Her eyes were fixed on the marble floor, watching how it reflected the bright lights overhead. She blinked dazedly, a small exhale leaving her nostrils. She could hear the chatter that was going around the room but it sounded muted in her ears.For some reason, she couldn't get what bear Man said to her the other night out of her head. It had kept her awake and even bothered when Ryan didn't message her after that night. Asides asking if she got to the hotel well, there was no other word from his end.Aurora hadn't wanted to admit it but she was beginning to worry. Ryan was the only stable thing in her wrecking life, if she lost him then she would truly lose herself again and she didn't want to go back to that robotic dark hole."AURORA!" A cutting voice from above her jolted her from her thoughts and she snapped her head up, meeting the glare of her mother.Miriam Rochester narrowed her steely grey eyes at Aurora, ruby-red lips puckered in dissatisfaction. "What in the world are you

The wedding procession went smoothly as planned, she kept watching him with hawk-eyed focus but nothing happened. They moved on to the reception hall, watching as the bride and groom danced to a popular Taylor Swift's number. "You look fidgety," Her mother's voice startled her and she jumped when she felt her presence behind her.Aurora looked over her shoulder, before hesitantly grabbing a flute from the table. She gingerly took a sip from the liquid, reveling in the way it cooled her throat."Watch it," Her mother warned, eyeing her, "You don't want to get drunk now, do you?"Aurora let out a sigh, turning to face her mother with a goofy grin on her face, "I won't," She threw her another fake large grin before sauntering off.She looked around the hall, her eyes widening when she couldn't find Evan amongst the crowd. He was just sitting on the table across from her and now, he was gone."Shit," She cursed softly, running her fingers through her hair. Her eyes darted around the larg

"How long will she be asleep?""Probably for another two hours.""I think we should let her rest.""Look! She's waking."Aurora moaned softly, her eyelids fluttering as they struggled to open. She tried to raise a hand to wipe her face but her limbs felt weak and immobile. She cracked open an eye, wincing at the bright light shining from above."Miss Rochester?" She heard a monotonous voice echo, "Are you okay?" Aurora muttered something even she didn't quite understand what she had said. She tried to twist but felt cold hands clamp her down, the icy touch was enough for her eyes to fly wide open.Her gaze finally settled on the older-looking doctor with large glasses perched on his nose. "Miss Rochester?" He called again, pointing a flashlight to her eye and holding her lid still. He did that for the first and then the other eye before dropping his hands. "She's alright."Aurora frowned, following the strange doctor's line of sight. Her gaze landed on her family, her mother was the

Aurora sighed when the IV was removed from her wrist, she watched as the nurse place wool on top and the bandaged the area."Leave it like that for some minutes so the bleeding would stop, okay?" The nurse cooed gently and she forced a smile in return, nodding in understanding.The nurse winked before packing up the tray and walking away. Aurora sighed again, relaxing her back against the headstand. It'd been almost a week since she'd been in the hospital and since that time, both her parents had flown back to Toronto due to their businesses. Evan has stopped coming to visit so she guessed he had gone back too, not that she was keen on seeing his face.It was her aunt Christy and Chandler who were been doing most of the checking up. The doctor had advised that she remained in the hospital for another week so that the stitches would heal up a bit. At least, now she was able to sit and walk around.Her gaze was focused on the device in her hand, Aunt Christy had brought it in for her ye
