Aurora's P.O.V
I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe, I just couldn't! I couldn't do anything, the moment I got home I immediately headed for the shower, let the cold water pour and I've been sitting here ever since. At least this way you can't see my tears because they're hidden amongst the billions of water drops coming from the shower head. Finally gathering the last strength I have, I get up and take off my wet clothes as I head into my closet, wearing sweatpants and a hoodie I jump into bed shivering and cover myself with the blankets. I text Justin, telling him I'll be working from home for a while so he should cover for me at the office. I try to sleep but I keep twisting and turning, against my own better judgment I take sleeping pills then down them with scotch. In a couple of minutes I start feeling drowsy then black out. A week has gone by and I'm still drowning myself in my work, I refuse to let myself even think about the incident that happened in Bens office because I know that if I do I'll just get lost in it all. After my zoom meeting with my authors I head for the shower, the cold water washed over me, grabbing my attention immediately. I know it's winter but when I take a cold shower I get consumed by the chill of it all, instead of thinking. Slowly sliding to the ground, I just sit and feel nothing.
"Aurora!" I finally hear her voice and when I look up it's Kim. "You couldn't hear me? And you're taking cold showers again?! Aurora what is going on?" Pulling me up she guides me to my bed and wraps a blanket around me then bends down in front of me. I think she's done yelling because all she does is look at me, like really look at me, waiting for me to say or do something, anything. After some time goes by I get dressed, well more like Kim helps me get dressed then moves me to in front of the fireplace, lighting a fire then making hot coco. "Here, drink this, it'll warm you up." She says handing me a cup. I quickly cling to it, absorbing as much heat as I can. After taking a few sips I exhale in relief. "Talk." She demands.
"He's here." And that is all I have to say, because she knows exactly who I'm talking about, just saying it makes my body go stiff and so does she.
"Aurora..."
"I know what I saw Kim, he was there, standing in Bens office." I turn to her confused, "As if he was waiting for me, like he knew I was coming." My face turns sour. Her facial expression is what cuts me deeper, it's as if her face is telling me of the pain that's about to come, the torment, the agony and that's when I knew, that I can't run anymore.
"But I don't want to go!" I yell sadly, as my parents look at me confused.
"Aurora, you are the one who told us how you'd love nothing more than a ski trip in Zermatt and now that we surprise you with it, you don't want to go?" My father asks me disappointed. I know I may seem like such an ungrateful child but when I asked for this trip, two months ago, everything was still the same, Cy and I were still best friends, we were happy but now, so much has changed. All because of one, simple, consuming moment. Tears fall down my face and I turn, running to my room.
"Oh Cy." I whisper, right then I hear something hitting my window so I go to look and I see him at the bottom, throwing pebbles at my window.
"Come down." He whispers and I nod, sneaking out of my room I exit through the back door and meet Cy by the garden. "Hey."
"Hey." I say sitting beside him and we both fall silent.
"Aura.." In all honesty only Cy calls me Aura.
"I'm going on a ski trip to Zermatt for spring break." I blurt out and I swear for a split second I'm sure I saw his face go pale.
"Oh, well that's going to be fun." He says lowly.
"You're not mad?"
"Of course not αγάπη μου, you've been looking forward to this trip for months. I would never stand in between you and what you want. I'm just glad you get to go, don't worry, when you get back I'll be here, waiting." He says getting up, when I try to speak he silences me by kissing my forehead and then, he walks away "Bye αγάπη μου." I watch him walk away and there's something that tugs at my heart, telling me to stop him but I don't. Instead, I go back inside and go to bed, the next day we pack and head to Zermatt, getting there all I do is stay in my room but after a while I decide to give the place a chance and leave whatever happened in New York in New York. Throughout my whole ski trip I tried calling Cy, FaceTiming him and even texting him but he never replied, I was worried. So the first thing I do when I get home is run to his house, still in my skiing outfit, knocking on their door I can't help the smile that is slowly creeping onto my now plump lips. His mother opens the door but when she sees me a sad facial expression falls onto her face, she's usually always happy to see me.
"Hello Mrs Kensington, is Cy home? I've been trying to reach him all spring break but-"
"Aurora honey, Cy isn't here, he left."
"Oh, well how can I get a hold of him, when will he be back?" I search her eyes and there is so much sadness, what's wrong?
"Darlin' he's not coming back." It's as if the moment those words left her lips I fell deaf. He left, he left without saying goodbye or even leaving a footnote. He said he'd be waiting till I got back, he lied. The rest of my freshman year was a disaster, for months I couldn't eat properly, I couldn't sleep, I didn't even want to breathe and for the longest time I would always see him, or well his ghost but he was never there. It was all in my head, if I didn't have Kim I would have lost it.
____________end of flashback_________
Hearing Kim's phone ring I can't help but jump in fright.
"A it's okay, it's just my phone." She says gently laying her hand on my lap, "I'm going to take this okay, it's Spencer. Hey, right nows not a good time.." She says moving to her bedroom. Being left with my thoughts a feeling of rage slowly creeps up on me, I spent months, no years pinning over a boy who left me with no explanation and without giving a damn. Now he's coming back as a man just to fuck me up again? No! Not this time. "Oh no, you have that look in your eyes again." Kim says worriedly.
"What look?"
"That look you had on your face the day you chose to stop crying over him, that look of anger and determination, and honestly I'm afraid."
"The one who should be afraid is him, he should be very afraid." I say, with one thing on my mind.
