Aurora

Chapter 30

                                    Aurora

I smile at the flowers on my bed. Beautiful daisies, with a note attached to it. Although I know who it's from already. I open up the letter but wasn't expecting what it said.

"Daisies huh? Never thought you'd like them always thought you were a rose kind of girl. -Z"

I drop the note and flowers and back away. Who in the world is Z? This was the second note I've received from them..maybe it's just one of the boys playing a joke?

I place the flowers in a vase and the note in my desk. I'll ask them about it later.

I walk over to my nightstand and grab the book Hu and I were reading. I walk downstairs to the kitchen and see Arianna, Diego, Gabriel, and Andres all laughing. I smile and sit down at the island and open my book.

I was about to turn the page when someone taps my shoulder. I close the book a little and look over at the person, I smile. Marco smiles back at me but then yawns. "Morning Hermana." He places a kiss on my head and sits next to me.

"Buenos Dias hermano." He lays his head on my shoulder and looks at the scene in front of us. I just noticed they haven't acknowledged I was here, I don't mind they are having fun.

"I don't like her you know." Marco whispers, I look at him with a raised brow.

*Flashback*

"Yes his name is Zack Daryl, 45 years old. He's serving 25 years for the death of your daughter." Ricardo says.

I sit on the stairs listening to the conversation. Ricardo came over and asked to speak to my parents alone, I was always one to listen but this was about my sister. I heard them both start to cry, I peek my head out a little and see mama collapse into pa's arms.

My heart slowly breaking at the scene in front of me, I knew 25 years wasn't enough years. The man who hurt my sister deserved life in jail, I can't imagine the pain mama and pa are going through.

I stand up and walk to my room closing the door slowly and laying down on my bed, praying he'd get life. Ana deserved to live longer, she was young and didn't deserve to leave earth.

*End of flashback*

"Why's that? It's not nice to say that Mar." I whisper back and he frowns.

"She's how do I say this..a brat? Yeah, a brat. She thinks by whining she'll have everything she wants. Why can't she be like you? You're perfect." I look at him and frown putting my book down.

"Mar Shes your family, don't talk about her like that. And I'm not perfect I have flaws just like you." He sighs but nods and says sorry.

I pick up my book and continue reading when I get a message. I pick up my phone and check who it was.

Pot Head 🍃
Heyy, you up?

Emilio changed his name in my phone the other day, said it stands for "smoking weed a lot." I didn't question it and left his name like that.

Hi milio is everything okay?
Yeah just miss your snacks
Three little bubbles pop up.
And you of course.

I giggle and text him back.

I'm sure you did. I can drop you off some cookies later if you'd like.
Fuck Aurora you're amazing, I literally love you.

I smile and Marco looks at the phone and frowns.

No bad words, and I'll ask Andres to take me.
See you later Little one.

I exit out of our messages and place my phone back down. "Please don't tell me you like him." Marco whispers to me.
