Aurelia

09 - breakdown

Aurelia

Oh God please let this be a nightmare. Please.
My whole body's shaking. His steps get closer and my breathing increases. My body tenses.
Aaron's father stands up "Luciano Romano it's a pleasure to see you here."
"Thank you Alexandra".
He faces towards me and Aaron.
"Oh wow what a pleasant surprise. My daughter Aurelia."
He makes me feel sick. It take all my courage to not stand up and make it clear to him that I'm not his daughter. But I can fuck this dinner up because only God knows how much problems it will create.
My father walks towards us.
Please no, God please
He stand directly in-front of me "how are you? Aurelia." I tense up at the question and he seems to notice because a small of satisfaction creeps on his face. He continues to look at me. All these years and I still don't understand why he gets pleasure from watching me squirm. It makes me hate him further. I shift in my seat uncomfortably.
I really don't want to be here anymore.

"Fine" I mange to say. I don't think I'll be able to say anything further because if I do my voice will crack and I'll start crying.
It's getting too much. My father decides to sit right next to me. My legs are numb and I feel weak. I hate this feeling, the feeling reminds me of the times my father would beat me up. I shift towards Aaron trying to get away from my father as possible. Everyone decides to continue eating. I feel too sick. My vision is becoming blurry and it's getting hard to keep my tears in. My heart beat is going way too fast and I'm starting to feel really dizzy. I get up to excuse myself but my legs betray me. I nearly fall over but before I do Aaron holds me from my waist, his large, warm hand stops me from falling. My breathing increases and he notices because he looks straight into my eyes. His gaze makes me feel tingling sensations. His hand is now resting on my waist.
"We'll now make our way home." He announces.
They nod they head and Isabella gets up and give me a hug. "Take care of yourself." She whispers in my ear. I took into her beautiful hazel eyes that are quite identical to Aaron. I force a smile and just as me and Aaron are about to leave the dinning room my father's voice interrupts us. "Aurelia child I hope to see you soon." His voice sound calm but I can see right through it". He words are laced with venom and hatred.
"Yes father" I know I sound so fucking weak right now. I just want to disappear. Aaron grabs my hand and we head out.
"Aaron I need to go to the bathroom."
He grabs my hand and we head downstairs and take a right. My vision is becoming blurry and I'm trying to hard to hold in Thea tears that just want to flow down my face. We reach the bathroom and I leave Aaron's hand and run inside. The second I step inside my tears overflow and pain clouds my head. I feel shortness of breathes and my breathing becomes rapid. I start to inhale much deeper and take much faster breathes than usual. I want to feel something other than pain. I cover my mouth with my hands to stop any sound from releasing. I feel so overwhelmed.
I look into the mirror
"Aurelia calm down"
But I can't there's this voice inside me telling me that I deserve pain. I fall to the floor as I'm unable to breathe. My hand are shaking. I start trembling and I feel nauseous.

Aaron

There's something which isn't right. Dinner was going well but when Luciano appeared. Aurelia started squirming. She felt tense and there was just something which wasn't adding up. It been a long time since she's been in the bathroom. I walk towards the door and knock "Aurelia are you okay?"
There's no reply.
I can hear some noises in there though. "Aurelia"
There's surely something which isn't right. I move closer to the door and I can hear whimpers. The fuck. I move the door handle but it's locked . I kick to the side of the door where the lock is mounted. Using a front kick, I drive the heel of my foot into the door, giving the kick a forwards momentum and keeping my balance. The door breaks open and I see Aurelia. She on the floor her hands are covering her face and she's trembling. I run towards her and put my arms around her.
"fragola your going to be fine, I'm here" [strawberry]

I pick her up and her strawberry scent engulfs me. She holds me tighter and I make my way outside. I feel her heartbeat against mine and it's really fast.
"Aurelia" she doesn't look up. I want to know why she's in this condition.
"Aurelia please give me a sign, anything to show you'll be fine" my voice surprisingly sound soft.
She grip of me a little harder.
I make my way to my motorbike and place Aurelia at the front. I take off my blazer and cover her with it. I then sit facing her and watch as she puts her head on my chest. After staying like that for a good few minutes her heart starts to beat at a regular pace. She moves closer to me.
"cazzo mi distraendo, Bella" [fuck your distracting me, beautiful]

I drive onto the main road trying. Aurelia wraps her arms around me. My nose brushes against her hair, and I breathe in, her smell consuming me.
My fucking body betrays me as I press her closer to me, my heart starts beating at a pace it never has.
When we reach home and I give the keys to the valet and pick Aurelia up, heading inside. I make take Aurelia to my bedroom and place her softly on the bed.
I tell Lyra to come upstairs and change her.
I leave the room and get changed into a black hoodie and some black sweatpants. I then head back to my room and Lyra has changed Aurelia into a grey crop top with the some shorts. I turn off the lights and go lie on the couch. I really want to know what happened. Aurelia seemed so fucking hurt and I realised so late. I look at Aurelia and her chest move up and down other than that she literally a statue.

Think but to this afternoon when I told her to get on the motorbike, I could tell she was unsure. She seemed hesitant but when she got on it and her arms wrapped around my waist and her thighs clenched, it took me everything to not pick her up and drag her back to the estate.

She makes everything so difficult but I enjoy it.

Love you all
