Heal The Broken Pieces

Chapter 3: Blackout

Aurora’s POV

I wake up groaning as my head aches, this is one of the reasons why I don’t really like clubbing. There’s liquor and then a dance floor for you to puke after spending money. I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom where I look at myself in the mirror and grimace at how awful I look. I sigh going back out the bathroom for my phone before re-entering the bathroom.

I start playing my music before checking the time and it is now 5:30am so I sigh humming along to my song. I strip and get in the shower waiting for the water to get to the right temperature before stepping under and washing my hair and body then rinsing. I step out of the shower and wrap my hair then my body and walk out going into the closet where I dry myself completely. I grab ripped jeans and an oversized hoodie, deciding not to wear any bra today. I get dressed and leave the closet, removing the towel from my head and leaving it to air dry.

I grab my bag and phone before looking for my clutch that I brought last night and I found it under the bed so I take out my card and the remaining cash inside before leaving the room and heading downstairs and leaving the house, entering my car and driving off to school. I plan to avoid Archer from now on. I've never been too good when it comes to dealing with feelings, especially crushes, so I think avoiding him will suffice.

I park and get out of the car, locking my door before walking into the building heading for my locker. I reach my locker and check the time only to see it is now 6:30am so I sigh before putting my additional books in my bag for the day then locking my locker and heading outside and into my car. I drive to McDonalds to get some breakfast as I didn’t want to see Archer this morning if I went into the kitchen to prepare something to eat. I get my food and sit down at a table eating.

I start thinking about everything, how come I’ve never seen him in school before? I mean I haven’t looked at anybody since what happened last year. Sigh, I just can’t get involved with a guy right now, I have too much going on as is. Archer seems like a great guy and all that but I just don’t know, what if what happened last year repeats when I get involved with him? I can’t risk it, I’m so bad lucky, poor James. I miss you everyday and I don’t know what to do anymore, who to trust either. It should’ve been me, not you.

I sigh wiping the tears that have fallen before standing and leaving whilst checking the time only to see that it is now 7:01 which means that I only have 29 minutes to get back to school or I’ll be late so I run to my car and get in speeding off to school and I get there within 10 minutes so I sigh, looking through the window I see Archer’s car and I sigh going out and locking my car before pulling my bag onto my shoulder and squeezing the strap.

I enter the building and everybody stares at me mostly smiles, some sympathetic and some fake but I just continue walking while looking for Archer and when I turn on the corridor which has my locker I see him at my locker putting in something so I turn around and head straight to class. I plug my ears and hurriedly walk through the now crowded hallway.

I get to class and put my head on the desk for a while before actually falling asleep. I jolt awake after sometime only to see the teacher explaining something so I lift my head and rub the sleep from my eyes and stop the music playing before pulling out my earplugs and putting them away, for the rest of the session I’m paying attention and taking notes.

Second Period

I exit my classroom and walk to my other class and whilst doing so I see Ace and Hunter who wave me over so I smile going over. They hug me and I giggle returning the hugs.

“How are you Aurora?” I shrug at Ace

“Same as always, how about you guys?” they chuckle before looking at me
