097- CATCHING UP TO DO

097CATCHING UP TO DO AURORA The four pair of eyes... Richard, Greta, Julian and Malia... watching Jayden's every move doesn't seem to bother him at all."If you're staying, then I'm going to head out and let you process all of this," Jayden says softly. "But I'm only a phone call away. You call me, text me, even just think my name, and I’m back through those gates in five minutes. Got it?""Got it," I murmur.Jayden doesn't immediately turn to walk toward his car. Instead, he reaches up with his free hand, his fingers gently cupping the side of my face. His thumb strokes over my cheekbone, wiping away the remaining dampness of my tears.Then, right there, with everybody watching us... he leans down and presses his lips to mine.Out of the corner of my eye, I can hear Greta catch her breath softly, and I know Richard and Julian are standing just feet away, taking in every second of it. Heat instantly floods my cheeks, radiating all the way to the tips of my ears.When Jayden finally

It's that no matter what I do or how I hope it's not true... Richard and Greta are my parents and there's no going back from that.My reaction isn't how the normal average nineteen year old girl would react. They would freak out and bawl their eyes out.

099SLEEPING OUTSIDE AURORA Greta takes a step toward me, her hands still shaking, her eyes still desperate. "Sweetheart, please... she didn't mean that. She's just confused and overwhelmed...""And I'm not?" I scoff, shaking my head. Does it surprise me that her parents would condone this behavior? Not at all. "Aurora," Richard begins, stepping up beside his wife, his broad shoulders looking weighed down. "Listen to us. We didn't mean for tonight to turn into this..."I raise a hand, stopping them both in their tracks. The gesture is sharper than I intended, but I can't take another word."Don't," I rasp, my throat feeling like sandpaper. "Just... don't. I want to go to bed before my head actually explodes."Greta’s face falls, her glance shifting down to the covered covered tray resting on the side table. "But... what about the food?
