Chapter 53 - Aurora
"Do you…" Danny appears beside me and I shake my head.
"Not yet, I can't." I lock myself in the bathroom, breathing shakily, staring at my face in the mirror until I know I'm not going to fall apart.
It'll get easier.
Forcing a smile, I open the door, walking out, ignoring the concerned looks of my friends and pretending everything is fine.
I will not let them break me.

The next day I plan to pretend he doesn't exist, but he's waiting for me outside the doors with his friends.

"Shane, what's going on?" My mother sits down on my bed. "Don't try to fob me off, you've been laying on the bed for days staring at the wall. Is it Aurora? Has she done something?" "We're done, I broke her mum, I broke us and I don't know how to fix it." She pulls me into her arms, cradling my head while I tell her what happened. About the bet, how I feel and how she won't let me explain. "It's fixable." My mum says decisively, stroking my hair back like when I was a child. "It'll just take a little time, tell her how you feel and show her how much she means to you. It'll work out, I'm sure of it." "Thanks." She leaves the room to answer the door. Minutes later, Luke appears dressed up in black jeans and a purple shirt. "Come on mate, we're getting your girl back, s

Something breaks inside me when I say those words. He looks so hurt and I can't stand to see it. I don't think about what I'm doing, I just start running. The pain in my legs and lungs helps block out the pain in my heart, so I keep running until I can't breathe. Panting heavily, I look around, I don't recognise anything around me. I turn in circles, trying to get my bearings when I notice a car pull up beside me. "Rory?" Luke lowers the window and I scowl, walking away from him. "Rory, get in the car, I'll take you home." "No, thanks I'm fine." He creeps along beside me. "I can see you're not. If I have to, I'll wrestle you in the damn thing, but I'm not leaving you here." I stop, turning to look at him. Everything hurts, I need it to stop hurting.

Luke: Rory's at mine. Get here. Fast! It takes me ten minutes to get to his house, walking straight in and seeing her dress on the floor, two glasses on the table and an empty vodka bottle. Luke's on the sofa, his head in his hands, his shirt open all the way down. "I didn't, but shit did she make it hard not to." Luke slurs at me. "She's upstairs. Sort it out will you." She's under his quilt. She looks up at me, but struggles to focus. "Shane?" She gulps. "Are you ok?" "No." Tears run down her cheeks and I'm at her side, wiping them away with my thumbs

"Morning love muffin." Luke's smiling face rests on the pillow beside mine when I wake up. Oh god, what did I do? My gaze drops to his naked chest, a vague memory of standing in my underwear and kissing him flashes into my brain. "How much do you remember? Because, I shit you not, it was fucking amazing." "I don't remember anything." I say, burying my face in the pillow, forcing myself not to crawl away when his arm curls around my waist and he slides in too close. "I thought you might say that. So I've got us breakfast ready for round two this morning." He smacks my bottom and jumps out of bed. "How are you not feeling like death?" I complain, mor

"You look beautiful." I tell Aurora as she opens the front door, she's wearing a beautiful black dress that brushes the floor as she walks and she must have heels on, because she's almost tall enough that I don't have to lean down when I kiss her."You don't look bad yourself." She grins, looking me up and down in the stupid tux I got just for her."Woohoo Rory, get your ass in here." Luke hollers, sticking his head out of the sunroof of the limo we rented, her friends slip passed us to climb inside.As soon as we're in and the car starts to move, he pops the cork on a bottle of champagne while Jenny passes around plastic glasses.Despite complaining how lame the night will be, he definitely seems to be enjoying himself, Ruby sits beside him, clinging to his arm as

I'm sprinting down the hallway towards my classroom, late. I really hate being late. It's not unusual unfortunately, because my mother lives by her own schedule, a world in which timings don't matter. Except they do, rigidly, in my world. The only reason I'm not constantly in detention for it is because I get good grades and my teacher, Mr Whiting, once tried to explain the importance of being prompt to my mother and ended up on the wrong end of one of her tirades about living in the moment rather than to some man-made timescale. According to my mum, nature gives you all the timings you need and it's unhealthy to go against nature. I usually drive in, but my car's in the garage, so until it's fixed I have to pester my mother and resign myself to the fact that I'm going to have to sprint to my first class. Turning the corridor, I slam into someone, ricocheting off of them and flying backwards onto the floor. Laughter erupts all around me as I ga

I'd been pissed off with Billy for dragging me to the freak party, just because we heard the music from his house and he wanted some free drinks, but it turned out to be a very interesting evening once the drunk ginger girl poured her cup over him.Not that I was still pissed off by then, I'd seen enough of that party to wonder why I'd never been before, booze everywhere and randoms hooking up in whatever room wasn't currently occupied.She was definitely the best part of the night, off her face and bitchy as hell, but still with it enough to lie when I asked her her name. Her anger towards me was obvious, for what I'm not quite sure, but once I kissed her she transformed.'Touch me.' When she'd whispered those words and spread her legs for me, I'd wanted to crush her up against the fence and take her right there.If only that idiot hadn't spoiled the mood, twice.I'd turned back to watch her limp away with her friends, my j

Sunday, I throw on jeans and a shirt, winding my hair up into a loose ponytail, I slide my feet into my comfy trainers and wait for Rae to pull up outside to take me out with them all.Shane's jacket is still on the chair in my bedroom and I have no idea how I'm going to give it back to him. The idea of seeing him, or more to the point, him seeing me and recognising me, turns my insides over. I can't think about it without worrying I'm going to puke."Aurora." My friends wave at me from the car excitedly and I hobble down the path to the car."What did you do?" Jenny asks in an amused voice, turning around to face me as Rae drives us to the cinema car park."Long story short, I was running and ended up getting tripped over and twisting my ankle.
