-PART TWO-
Aurora's POV
Tears welled up in my eyes. Hiccups intevened between uneven breaths.
I kept my head deeply buried under the bed covers in my room.
Anthony had already tried to coax me out but I refused. I just wanted to be left alone.
Soon after, I heard a soft knock on the door. I told Anthony I wanted to be left alone already, why wouldn't he listen?
"Go away!" I yelled.
"Who hurt our princess, huh? Who do I have to fight?"
My tears stopped and I sniffled a few times trying to force myself to catch my breath. I jumped from my bed and opened the door to find Noah waiting on the other side. It was so good when he was home from college. Everything was so much better when Noah was here.
As soon as I opened the door, he scooped me up into his arms and brought me downstairs. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and buried my face into the crook of his neck. I felt him press a kiss to the top of my head with a soft chuckle.
"Now, let's not make this a habit. But just this once, we'll let you have ice cream for dinner. Dad already said okay."
He pulled out the ingredients for a sundae and made my bowl for me just how I liked. Then, he waited patiently until I finished my bowl of chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup and sprinkles.
"There's chocolate all over your face, baby." He teased before grabbing a tissue and wiping my face.
When he sat back down, he spoke. "Now, tell me what's the matter."
He listened to me, outraged and upset on my behalf, at the comments some kids made at school. I couldn't even remember what exactly had upset me anymore. It all felt irrelevant.
But I did remember that I felt like everything would be okay because he came and he listened to me. He made everything better. That's why I hated it so much when he had to go.
There wasn't a singular moment when I fell for him. It made me wonder if, perhaps, I always loved him. Maybe I just didn't understand what any of it meant until a few years ago. Maybe it was all the things he did which added up over the years.
