"Why are you guys forcing me to do this again?" Wesley asked while Grayson and Lucas stood aside.
Huge dances were never for Wesley thus he didn't even attend his prom when he had the opportunity, but now he was being forced to go to the Valentine's Day dance at their university. While figuring out how to do his tie, Lucas and Grayson shook their heads.
"It's a tie man. Not something complicated," Grayson said.
"Answer the damn question, Grayson."
"Because. Aurora likes you. And she's an amazing girl. And if you guys got to know each other," Grayson said.
"Maybe something can come from it. She's a nice girl. Just don't do what Goldman did," Lucas said.
"You guys are insane. Nothing is going on with us and she'll never like me. Okay, done," Wesley said while Grayson looked at him.
"Ain't bad. She does like you. If not, be a friend to her," Grayson said.
"Are we going to get going or what? Otherwise we will be late," Wesley said.

Looking at the many people that had decided to show up, Aurora exhaled. She had smiled while she saw as management came in and out on her best face while she knew things would now start happening.
"Oh no," Aurora said as she saw how Logan and his friends stepped onto the campus.
She shook her head while trying to hide that she was there. But she knew that would be no use. In her red dress she was very visible and yet it didn't really matter what she did. Logan would see her. She exhaled as she saw how Lucas, Grayson and Wesley stepped in, instantly smiling as she knew she would be okay.
"Wow," Wesley said as Lucas smiled.
"Go over to her. Before Logan does," Grayson said as Wesley nodded and slowly approached the young girl.
"Aurora," Wesley said as Aurora smiled.
"I didn't expect to see you here," Aurora said.
"Nor did I. But I decided to come and see what was actually going on. You look absolutely breathtaking," Wesley said.
"Need help with that tie?" Aurora asked as she loosened the tie and started over.
"I'm not one for dances, but the guys did a group effort. Your ex is staring at us," Wesley said as Aurora briefly looked over to where Logan stood with Landon and Mason.
"Let him. I don't care. There you go," Aurora said, fixing Wesley's collar, as she smiled.
"Absolutely perfect. Even if I have to say so. Let's go over to the guys," Aurora said as the two of them went over to Grayson and Lucas.
"Someone is looking very snatched. You look nice, Aurora," Grayson said.
"She looks the prettiest of everyone here. Dances aren't my thing, but... Care to dance, Aurora?" Wesley asked.
"I would be honored, Wesley," Aurora said as they moved over to the dance court.
Moving forward, Aurora placed her hand in Wesley's, as he pulled her closer, holding her close to his body, and their feet started to move.
"Not bad for someone who states they hate dancing," Aurora said.
"You really do look beautiful," Wesley said as Aurora smiled.
"Thank you. Oh dear," Aurora said noticing that Logan was coming closer.
"Mind if I take this dance?" Logan asked.
"Not at all. I'll be right back," Wesley said moving over to his friends.
"They need time to talk."
"You've managed to put him into a mood fast," Logan said as Aurora avoided all eye contact with him.
"Surprised to see you here. You have no obligation towards any of these stuff anymore. Why are you here?" Aurora asked.
"Aurora, I never stopped loving you. Not for a second. And I hope you feel the same. You do, right?" Logan asked as Aurora finally brought herself to look at Logan.
"Logan, I did once. Not anymore. I wanted the break so we could grow. But you saw it as a breakup. I'm sorry. But I don't love you anymore," Aurora said.
The words had cut deep into Logan, as he looked at Aurora, woth nothing, but shock in his eyes. Biting his lip, he quickly moved away, as Wesley could see a meltdown coming a mile away. Quickly moving towards Aurora he looked at her while she shook her head, tears in her eyes, and he knew something happened.
"I don't love him anymore," Aurora said.
"And that's okay," Wesley said, pulling her into his arms, as she wrapped hers around his body.
"That's okay," Wesley repeated, stroking over her back, as she knew the time to cry was over.
She had two months to do that and still her heart didn't feel the breakup as bad. She was waiting for the worst to happen, but it never did. It honestly never did happen. Starting to move around again, Aurora caught her and Wesley dancing yet again. She softly chuckled, while he saw as Lucas and Grayson were watching the two of them, pleased with themselves in a way.
"Your friends seem pleased," Aurora said.
"They'll always be pleased. Grayson thinks dragging me out to stuff like this will... Never mind. Why did things end badly for you and Logan?" Wesley asked as Aurora exhaled.
"We were too different. I wanted a break to figure out what was going on between us and for me to grow. He saw it as a breakup. He didn't want it. So in the end he treated it like a breakup. And two months later I just don't have the energy anymore for anything. I want move on with my life," Aurora said.
"There are plenty of fish in the ocean. You'll find someone quickly enough," Wesley said.

"Aurora! Hey," Noah said as he approached the girl.
"Looks like everyone went with suits. Hi, Noah," Aurora said.
"You don't seem happy at all. What's wrong?" Noah asked.
"Just my ex thinking that he knows what's going on when he doesn't really. Logan approached me and suddenly he wants to resume our relationship," Aurora said.
"Two months after it had ended? And? What is your response?" Noah asked.
"I fell out of love. It honestly is as simple as that. I don't love him anymore. I mean, I do. But not like that. I'm not in love with him anymore," Aurora said.
"That's understandable. But is there someone else?" Noah asked as Aurora looked where Wesley and Grayson were talking.
"Maybe," Aurora said smiling.
"Just be happy. That's all your father would want. For you to be happy," Noah said as Aurora nodded.
"Yeah I know he would. Come on. Let's get something to drink," Aurora said.
