Our Complicated Love (Completed)

Chapter 13

Aurora had woken up and realized it was early the morning. She smiled as she looked at her phone and saw that Andrew had send a location for the farm. She smiled as she got out of bed and quickly got dressed in something casual for the day. While she had listened to music on her phone she got everything ready and took everything out from her car. She had looked at everything around her while she had shaken her head and drove.

The hour drive to the farm outside of Charlottesville turned into thinking time for Aurora. She had smiled as she looked how the trees have passed her and how she could think about everything that had happened. She shook her head as she had arrived at the farm and immediately saw as the electronic gate went open. Looking over at everything, Aurora had parked her car, and saw how an older man came to her.

"Aurora, is that you? My my, look how you've grown."

Nathan Wincott had approached the young girl as she had smiled. Her uncle was one of the many people that had reminded her of her father and who she could always trust. Regardless what had happened. And although she was hesitant to visit her father's side of the family, she was glad that she came.

"Hi, Uncle Nate," Aurora said.

"How are you?" Nathan asked as Aurora saw how her aunt came close.

"I'm good. Hi, Aunt Emily. Where are Alexander and Alyssa?" Aurora asked.

"Somewhere. But sit down, how are you lately? I was so sorry to hear about your mother and siblings. That must have been hard," Emily said.

"It was actually. Especially about my mom. I didn't really see her beforehand and it seemed like our relationship was non-existent," Aurora said.

"Well, you're home now. And it's good to have you here, even just for the day," Nathan said as people started to arrive.

Aurora had looked at everything. Gatherings with the family was always fun for Aurora, but the one thing she had hated was when they started to drink. She looked around at the men drinking and what had originally seemed like a family things became more casual with the neighbors. Aurora had exhaled as she stood up and walked around the farm as she saw how some of her older cousins approached her.

"Hey."

"Abby, hi," Aurora said as she hugged her while seeing how Andrew and Samuel were behind her.

"Hey, kid. How you doing?" Samuel asked.

"Kinds going rough. But a lot better than awhile back. Why is your dad drinking like that, Andrew? Does he not realize he still had to drive home?" Aurora asked.

"Stress at work, I guess," Andrew said.

"How are you really doing?" Abigail asked.

"Shortly after my mom's death, I went through a breakup. Let's just say that the relationship still needs to be dealt with. But I'm actually doing okay," Aurora said.

"That's good to hear then. That's very good to hear," Abigail said.

"I'm glad I came. Although I know a lot of drinking is going to take place," Aurora said.
