Aurora's P.O.V
"Mm, no, nooo." Rapidly waking up I try catching my breath, after my heart rate slows down I take a deep breath. I haven't had nightmares since... wait, I finally take the time to notice my surroundings and only now do I notice that this isn't my place. Where am I ?! I can feel my heartbeat starting to quicken, whose pyjamas am I wearing? My feet touch the heated marble floor as I look around and try to find my way but, keep entering one empty room after another. This place is so huge it's aggravating!
Finally, I get the whiff of food being cooked and I know I should be panicking right now, trying to find a weapon to protect myself with or something but, weirdly I feel kinda safe right now. I quietly follow the smell and peek around the corner, I see his big hands cooking, following them I see his strong arms showing through his tight shirt, his firm chest, strong jawline, light pink plump lips, his carefully trimmed short beard and finally his ruffled midnight hair. I find myself slowly biting into my lower lip, Cy. The last time I saw him we were teenagers, when did he grow into such dominance? He radiates so much power that it's almost suffocating but my administration quickly fades away when I remember how he broke my heart and didn't even care to look back.
No! I am not going to let him come into my life only to hurt me again, furiously marching towards him, the material of my pyjamas catches under one of my feet and before I know it I'm heading for the floor, I shut my eyes and brace for impact. I gasp when I feel his arms wrap around me, he lifts me up as he pulls me to his chest, protectively, I hate that I can feel my anger and resentment melt away. "Take me home, now." I say calmly after some time then push my way out of his arms. I don't look at him, I just keep by back turned to him and he passed me, dishing up breakfast.
"Eat first then, I'll take you home." My stomach grumbles so I don't say anything, I just take a seat on one of the stools by the kitchen island. He hands me my plate and I start eating, so does he, almost done with my food he speaks. "I don't care what it takes but I'm willing to do any and everything to get you to forgive me, however long that may take. I'm not going anywhere Aura." He says getting up, I don't say anything still instead, I make my way to what I'm assuming is an elevator that leads to the outside and wait for him to come. Finally arriving, he pushes a bottom and the doors open, we get in and they close, walking out I notice that this isn't a hotel it's actually a house, a house with an elevator! He leads the way to the garage and my heart almost stops when I see the amount of cars he has, wow. As we're walking I hear a third set of footsteps making their way to us and somehow my instincts place me in front of Cy protectively and my hands form fists.
"Good morning sir." He says and I quickly notice that he must work for Cy, driver maybe?
"Morning Eric, this is Aurora, Aura this is my trusted driver Eric." Cy must really respect and trust Eric if he introduces him in that manner and so effortlessly, like that's exactly how he wanted to say it. My body eases up and I lightly bow my head when he greats me. Entering the car I sit at the end of the seat, balancing my head on the window, we exit the garage and start making our way to my place. I don't want to be here so why do I feel so comfortable? It's a long and quiet ride but finally we arrive and Eric opens my door for me. I know not saying thank you is rude but I don't know why I can't speak, I want to but I just can't. Making my way to the door I stop when I hear his voice.
"Aura-" It's as if the spell I was under just broke and I snapped.
"Do not ever call me that! You lost the right to call me that the day you left without even bothering to leave even a FOOTNOTE! I don't give a fuck if you're going to work day and night to try and make me forgive you because I will never forgive you. The day you left, you showed me exactly how worthless I was to you, how I meant nothing to you and guess what, I believed you. I don't want you in my life nor do I need you in it so just ... just go back to whatever hole you crawled out of." I say turning and running inside. Quickly closing the door I slide to the floor, my chest feels so tight, like I can't breathe. Tears start falling and I sob, Kim rushes to me and sits on the floor with me, holding me as I cry.
"It's going to be okay Aurora." She says comforting me but I shake my head.
"I-I c-can't do it again Kim, I can't go through this again! This time I'll break I swear." I confess in between sobs. I have survived many things and I know how strong of a person I am, but I also know that I could never survive Cy again, I barely made it the first time and I had Kim and my mother, so I know I can't do it again. I know he knows that as well so why is he doing this? Does he hate me that much? Did all those years we spent together really not mean anything to him?
