Aurora's P.O.V
"Tomorrow's the Christmas Eve party and I feel like we're not prepared."
"Miss, everything is almost up, we still have to put up the tree but-"
"We still need to put up the tree?! What do you mean?"
"Relax." Cy says coming from behind me and I sigh. That kind of sounded like a soft command. Ahh! Pull yourself together!
"Sorry." I give him a wide smile, sinking into my body and he softly chuckles. "Okay, run me through the schedule again please Mary." I ask, rubbing my forehead.
"Of course Miss, first we have to confirm the place settings for dinner, you still haven't approved the menu with Chef Carlyle and-" Just then I see Cy passing by with a huge Christmas tree basically swallowing his body and my eyes widen.
"Wait a minute, what do you think you're doing?"
"Carrying a Christmas tree?"
"No, it's basically eating you alive. Can't you get someone else to do it? You could get injured or, I don't know, hurt." He chuckles.
"I was a truck driver Aurora, I think I can handle this much." Then he walks away and Mary chuckles.
"What's so funny?" I pout childishly.
"I'm sorry Miss it's just, you guys seemed like the old you just now and I couldn't help but laugh. It's joyous." Feeling my cheeks warm, I tuck a strand behind my ear. Yeah, we did, didn't we.
"Mr Kensington!" Thud. A chill runs through my body and before I know it, my feet are moving on their own, rushing to him.
"Cyler?!" I run to him, with my breath lumped in my throat. Finally getting to him I find him sitting on the floor, rubbing his shoulder while softly chuckling.
"Caught it." He says before looking up at me.
"Mr Kensington are you alright?"
"Huh?" He looks at the worker for a moment. "Oh yeah I'm fine." Then he turns to me again. "This ornament looked important so when I saw it fall, I wanted to catch it before it reached the ground and broke." He's right, that ornament is important, it's one of the three my mother and I made when I was little for Christmas, I've cherished it ever since and I love it so much. But right now as my teeth sink into my lower lip and my hands form fists, I can't help but hate that ornament. Is it really so special? So special that he'd willingly fall to catch it, just so it doesn't break?
"I was worried." I whisper.
"Huh?" Babum. What is this? My body feels like it's shifting.
"I was worried." I say making my way to him. Grabbing the ornament out of his hand, I shatter it to the ground.
"Miss!"
"I was worried you were really hurt!" What is this gut shaking feeling?
"Aurora I'm fine." Sinking to the ground I clasp onto something, tightly, as everything and everyone become a blur. What if he was hurt?
"Aurora." Hurt again?
"Aurora!" He c-can't get hurt agai-
"AURORA LOOK AT ME NOW!" Shocked and wide eyed, I can faintly feel the tears slide down my face as I look up at him.
"C-Cyler, are you hurt again?" Why lips quiver. "Cyler please be careful, if you get hurt I'll d-die." I wanted to say it louder but it came out in a more hushed tone.
"Aurora." I'm the one who's scared so why, why are you the one who looks so pained Cy? "Okay, please let go of the shattered glass now." Stretching out my trembling hands I hear light glass fall and a second later, Cy thrusts me into his arms, holding me tightly. He feels warm compared to my chilled body but everything is starting to get hazy.
"Cyler..." I call out to him before my body falls limp in his arms and darkness consumes me.
Cy's P.O.V
It's not just me, everyone else is also paralyzed with shock as she lays limp in my arms. What's going on right now? How can I even begin to wrap my brain around what just happened? Can I wrap my brain around it? But if I panic then everyone will panic, I need to do something. Sighing, I look down at her.
"Mary, Benson."
"Yes sir?" They say in union coming into view.
"Benson please inform the workers to evacuate the house and take an hour break, and Mary if you could clean up this mess, that would be great."
"Yes sir."
"Of course Mr Kensington, gentlemen this way please." The few workers in the room with us follow after Benson and Mary, exiting the room. My knees feel wet, it's probably because of Aurora's blood. Lifting her up I carry her to her bedroom and lay her on the bed, just then Mary comes in.
"Sir I brought you the first aid kit."
"Thank you Mary." Fetching a big bowl of warm water I clean her hands first then wipe them gently, picking out any pieces of glass left in them, I disinfect her cuts, apply ointment and bandage her hands.
"Sir, I'm done cleaning everything up."
"Was she like this?"
"Sir?"
"When she believed I was dead, was she like this?"
"No sir." Then why- "She was far worse." It's as if those words are freezing me in place.
"How bad did it get?"
"I can't say for sure since Mr Cyan was the one who was by her side the most but, when Benson and I would visit her when you were still presumed missing. Miss Aurora had just found out she was pregnant with the twins but she would occasionally break out into a fit, kicking and screaming, saying that she would rather have you than them. It took her a long time to accept the twins but during that process she hardly ate or slept. She nearly perished when they announced your death, it was hard sir, for her the most because, you are miss Aurora's world Mr Kensington, whether you remember her or not." I want to speak but, no words can be formed. All there is is this gut wracking feeling at the pit of my stomach. After some time I hear the door close, signaling that Mary's gone.
How can someone love like this? How can I be so important to someone like you? From what I heard from Ben I was terrible to you, I left you, abandoned you and hurt you yet you still came back to me. I don't remember anything from our past but I wonder, did I love you as much as you love me? Did I put you first as you do with me? Where you my obsession as well?
"Aurora was I even good to you?" Kitten. Wait- "Ahh!" I can't help but scream out, falling to my knees. My head! What is this screeching pain inside my head?!
"Mr Kensington?"
"Mr Kensington! Call a doctor!"
