Our Complicated Love (Completed)

Chapter 12

Aurora had looked as she had woken up in her own apartment for the first time in awhile. Lately she has been with Logan ever since her mother and siblings had passed, but she had known that she needed to move forward from everything, although she still wanted to recover from it all. She had gotten dressed as she saw it was 7:30 and heard someone knocking on her door as she opened it.

"Andrew! What are you doing here? Come on in," Aurora said as she hugged her cousin.

"I came to pop in. Are you on your way to class?" Andrew asked.

"All of my things are virtual today so don't worry. No, I only have class at 9. Coffee?" Aurora asked as Andrew had nodded.

Andrew and Aurora were just a year apart in age, but they were in the exact same school year their whole lives and they got along fine when they were together. But they didn't exactly stay close by so they rarely ever saw one another besides for family gatherings.

"How is the bank?" Aurora asked as she gave Andrew a cup of coffee and they sat down.

"It is good. This is an amazing place you have. Where do you work?" Andrew asked.

"Travel agency in town. I am considering going for something else eventually, just not right now," Aurora said.

"I'm here with reason, Aurora. Uncle Nathan had called a family gathering and we would really want to see you there as well. Think about it," Andrew said.

"Who is coming?" Aurora asked.

"Well... There are us Williams' and then Uncle Nathan and his clan. And Uncle Michael actually said they were coming as well. He is dragging Abigail and Samuel there as well. Oh, and Uncle Ben as well," Andrew said.

"Things haven't worked out amazing lately with my parents. At the farm outside Charlottesville?" Aurora asked as Andrew nodded.

"Yeah, why not? I haven't seen you guys in forever. My plans for the summer are anyway already made to go to Florida so it will be nice to see you guys again. Tell Uncle Nathan that I'll be there. Just give me the address again," Aurora said as she got a pen and paper.

"Sure. It's Saturday and it starts around noon but come whenever you want," Andrew said.

"I will," Aurora said.

Aurora had arrived at the college while she was gathering her things and saw Logan and Landon outside the place, smoking. She got out of her car as Logan saw that the young girl was in a good place as he showed her to come closer.

"Morning. Ready for the day?" Logan asked as Aurora had nodded.

"Yes, I am. I actually just made plans for Saturday and the summer. I'm heading to Florida in June and this Saturday I am going to Charlottesville," Aurora said.

"To do what?" Landon asked.

"Oh, my cousin just invited me for a family gathering. My uncle has a farm where we occasionally go to have a barbeque or just to hang out. I haven't gone in years so this year I am going. And for the summer, my mom's family is in Florida. So I am visiting them," Aurora said as she saw how Caden Saltzman walked past them.

"And now I am dealing with another situation. Excuse me. Caden!" Aurora said as he had turned around and smiled at her.

"Hey, what's up?" Caden asked.

"You need to stop. I am no longer going to fight with you anymore about your feelings for me, but I want you to stop. My life is about a lot more than just boys. I have a lot of problems to sort out with my family and to deal with my mother and siblings being dead. And I hope you will appreciate that," Aurora said.

"Actually, Daniel also spoke with me, and I'll leave it. Friends?" Cadena sked as Aurora had nodded.

"Sounds good to me. I gotta go. See you," Aurora said as she had joined Logan.

"Everything okay?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, everything is fine," Aurora said.
