Chapter Eighteen: Ace

I've been trying now for two weeks knocking on Aurora's door but she hasn't left her room except to get food from downstairs, Nova and Otto got back from their honeymoon just to go on a mission not even 4 hours later. Leaving Aurora and I alone together. I cant keep this up... pretending like I have a chance of explaining my side. I pack my stuff into my suitcases grabbing a Letter. I figure at some point Aurora will wonder why I'm no longer knocking and come looking, hell she may not even care but it's worth a shot.

Dear Aurora,

I didn't cheat, I'd like to start there. I was at the drink station grabbing drinks. A hand slithered around my waist and I felt lips kissing up my neck. It felts like you so I closed my eyes letting well who I thought was you reach my lips. I grabbed her face and began kissing her back. I didn't realize it was you until I pulled away. I wanted so badly in that moment to just go back in time after seeing the hurt on your face. I would never do anything like that to you Ror and I need you to believe that. It's become very clear to me that I'm not going to get a chance to explain. I've found a place further away and I'm leaving to go there. You won't hear from me again. Because I know what you think ive done is unforgivable, and sometimes the person you love has to be let go. So this is me letting you go. I know i'll never get a chance to know if you've forgiven me let alone know if you even read this but I want you to know. You Are extremely important to me, my soulmate, and I know that this situation has caused a lot of emotional pain to you. But I want you to know you'll always be my girl, my princess, my Ror. And I want you to know i'll love you until the end of time. Goodbye Aurora.

I fold the paper up and place it on my bed, hoping that if she ever enter s my room she sees it. I grab my bags throwing them over my shoulder. I tie them to the back of my bike and begin driving away. I look back at the house and I can't help but cry thinking about all that i'm leaving behind.

I pull up to my apartment complex and untie my bags bringing them inside. I already had it furnished in an attempt to make it feel more homey when I got here but it's not working. Because the truth is I'm homeless. I've lost my home... and i'll never get it back ever.

I decide to go to a bar in attempt to get rid of my sad thoughts. I'm a couple drinks in and tipsy. I see a girl eyeing me down and I decide to stand up and walk over to her smiling at her. You know what they say in order to get over somebody get under somebody else. Actually I don't think anybody says that but whatever. I sit down beside her. "Ace." I turn to look at her she looks nervous. "Im layla." I lean in. "Want to go home with me Layla?" I know it's a bit bold but I don't care, I have absolutely nothing to lose. She smiles nodding. "Sure." I grab her hand helping her down and we begin the walk back to my apartment. Which is only a block away. I unlocked my apartment door and before we're even inside she's all over me. It doesn't feel right with another woman's mouth on mine. A woman's mouth who isn't Aurora but I push through... ill have to get used to it. I pull her into my bedroom as we strip. I Put a condom on and slip inside of her. And when I pull out its broken. "Fuck." I whisper. "What?" She questions sitting up. "Are you... are you on birth control?" Her eyes widen.
"No...please tell me it." I nod my head. "Yeah it broke." She begins to cry. "I'm still in college, I can't get pregnant. Go get a plan B!" I nod and put back on my clothes.

When I get back shes pacing in the kitchen. I set the plan B on the counter. "I want your contact information. I whisper. She looks up at me "phone." She holds out her hand and I place it in her hand. She swallows the pill and leans on the counter for a second. "I'm gonna go." she whispers as she grabs her purse walking out. I slam my fists on the counter. "Fuck!" I yell. I walk back into my room and start a shower. I turn it on and begin to wash myself off. If shes pregnant I will have fucked it for myself even more because I could never love another woman. She'd be stuck with a man that could never love her. A loveless relationship, and a child with parents in a loveless relationship.
