Euphoria [E.Hale]

Aurora's POV:

I continued walking away from Jay with tears in my eyes. I still didn't dare to look back to see if he had followed me or not. I was hoping he didn't, I really don't want to see his face right now. I was mad at him, no, I was furious with him. He cheated on me with my friend after everything we had been through. I know I'm only 17 but I've gone through a lot of crap things growing up. Along with Jay and we have always been by each other side. We grow up together, and we end up dating when we were 13. And I was always there for him when he need me, when his mom was in the hospital, I was there. When he broke his arm I was there and Just for him to betray me when I need him the most.

Finally looking around me, I found myself in the woods next to the field. I let out a sigh as I took in the somewhat silent. It was pretty dark, so I couldn't see that much. I didn't really mind though until I heard a noise coming from behind me. So I quickly turned around to see who or what it was. And that was when someone grabbed me and slammed me into a tree. Pain runs through my entire body, I close my eyes

"Ow" I mumbled

I felt the person who slammed me into the tree holding my wrist tightly. I slowly opened my eyes, just to see Jay. And to be honest he looks mad and annoyed. I don't know why he is mad here, I'm the only one who should be mad.

"¡Jay aléjate de mí!  me estas lastimando!" I said as I tried to get out of his grips, I felt them slightly tightening, I knew they were going to leave bruises

"no Aurora, me vas a escuchar atentamente" He said as he got close to my face "You're going to stay away from your boyfriend and his friends. understood?"

"He's not my boyfriend and Why in the world would I do that, idiota?!"

"Because Rory, I'll tell them about your little secret, our little secret"

My eyes widen "You-you wouldn't"

Jay looked me dead in the eye "I would, and you know it too. So unless you want them to know about our secret, you're going to stop talking to them. Or even better I could break him and then tell him"

"¿Cómo es que cuando finalmente te olvido y empiezo de nuevo en un lugar nuevo, tienes que arruinarlo?"

"Because I apologized for my mistake! And you didn't forgive me!"

I flinched at his tone before shaking my head "It's not a mistake if you did it twice, Jay! And both times with the same person!"

He rolled his eyes "I'm giving you a choice here, Aurora. You either stay away from your little boyfriend and his stupid ass friends or I'll hurt him, and then tell him our secret" He spoke softly, completely ignoring what I stated

"So what is it going to be?" One of his hands left my wrist and gently pushed curls behind my ear and then rested on my cheek

"Jay..." I whispered pleading to him to not do this to me, I'm scared of him...

His hand moved so his fingers were on my jaw and his thumb was across my chin. His grip was tight and it was hurting me. So I end up flinching away from his touch but he didn't let me move.

"What is it going to be, Aurora?"

"I-.." I thought for a few seconds and I knew the answer. But I hate it, I didn't want to say it but I knew I had to. I took in a breath "I'll stay away from Eli and his friends" I said quietly

Jay smirked "Good"

"Promise me, y-you won't tell them if I do this"

"lo prometo"

With that, he let me go, turned around, and walked away toward the school. He didn't even turn back to look at me but I knew he was smirking. My knees gave out from underneath me, and falling to the ground I quickly pushed my back against the tree. I pulled my knees up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them and put my head down. I completely broke down into tears as my body shook. I can't believe I let him threaten me and Eli like that. And I agree with his stupid decision, I'm so mad at myself. I fall right into his stupid trap once again...

...

After a few minutes, I was able to collect myself and leave the woods. I have just hoped that Eli and they had left to make it easier for me to ignore them. Especially, Eli, I don't think I could handle seeing his face when I have to stop being friends with him. I hate how much he means to me, no one has made me feel this way, just Eli. Not even Jay made me feel the way I do with Eli and we grew up together. So if I could just ignore Eli without seeing him, I'd be fine. But clearly, I'm having trouble luck today, because I spotted Eli and them.

And we made eye contact, I watched as his worried face turned into a relieved one. This is going to be more difficult than I thought. I walked over to them, mentally going over what I'm going to say. I'm scared to see what was about to go down, especially Eli's reaction. I was praying that Eli wouldn't care that I'm gonna stop being friends with him, along with Lindsay and Tim. I walked up to them slowly, I could feel my heart beating faster the closer I got. I don't want to do this, I really don't. But I have no choice...

I glanced down at my wrist and saw bruises and hand prints on them. I quickly pulled the sleeves down, since I was now in front of them, "There you are Aurora! I was legit thought you got kidnapped or something" Lindsay said jokingly

"Coach is surprisingly going to take to get pizza! You wanna g-..." Eli started to say with a smile but stopped talking and his smile dropped when he saw the look on my face "What's wrong?"

Lindsay, Tim, and their parents Immediately noticed that something was wrong with me as well. I took in a small breath.

"We need to stop talking to each other" I stated bluntly

I could practically see his heartbreak. I don't know why though, we've only known each other for a week. "Wait why?" He said in a whisper, I almost missed it "We were fine earlier, did something happen?"

I didn't dare to answer his question, mostly because I couldn't tell him the truth. I just looked at him for a few seconds, then at everyone else. Lindsay and Tim looked concerned, Lydia, Stiles, and Scott just looked very confused, and as for Eli's dad, he had a blank face and his eyes were narrowed down at me. I can't stay here any longer, if I do then I'm gonna break down.

I pushed past Eli and started to walk away, but he immediately grabbed my hand. I quickly turned around, and all I saw was hurt in his puppy-like eyes. But dismissing the butterflies I felt in my stomach, I pulled my hand away from him. Once again I turned around and left, this time he didn't stop me.

"Rory..." I heard him say softly behind me, but I never stopped walking.

My heart felt like someone ripped it into two. This is all my fault for giving in to Jay's threat, I should have agreed. But I don't want them to know my-our secret and him to hurt Eli... I'm too attached to Eli to let Jay hurt him in any way.
