I will provide a summary of the second trigger before it comes so you can read everything leading up to it, which is very important.

(Aurelia's Pov)
The next day
When Mattheo first made his offer I thought absolutely not. But the more I thought about it, the more convinced I was.

If this works out everything will change. I'll be happy, and have people who care about me.
It's a complete 360 from now.

And If this goes wrong I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'll be destroyed.

But somethings telling me to take the chance.
I don't know if I'll ever be happy, but I know I deserve to try.

"Everyone's in my dorm, they know everything except for what you told me." Said Mattheo.

"Let's go." I said.

We got to his dorm, and I nervously walked in.
Everyone stared at me, and I felt myself sweat.

Mattheo and Theo's dorm had a similar layout to Draco and Enzo's.

Next to one of the beds were three couches. The girls were sitting on one, and the guys were on another. Mattheo, and I sat on the third.

Everyone seemed incredibly attentive, and it made me nervous.

I looked at Mattheo.
"I don't know if I can do this." I whispered.
"You can, I believe in you." Whispered Mattheo.

I looked at everyone, and took a deep breath.

"I'm gonna tell you what the memory is.
I'm telling you because I want help.

That being said, what I'm gonna say is heavy. Once you know there's no going back. If some of you think this is too much, or don't wanna get involved I understand.

If anyone wants to leave now you can."

"Mattheo gave us the same warning, and we're choosing to stay. We may not have been acting like it recently, but we care." Said Enzo.

"We wanna start fresh. All the conflict that's happened is officially erased." Said Theo.

"All of it?" I asked.
"Yes." Draco replied.

"So, I'm gonna explain everything. I want you to know why I am the way I am.
It might take a while."

"Take as long as you need." Said Hermione.
Ginny gave me a reassuring nod.

"My parents started a business 25 years ago.
It popped off, and they got rich. They were living their best lives.

Then my mom got pregnant, but I was an accident. The only reason I wasn't aborted was because my parents didn't want it coming out to the media.

And they constantly reminded me.
"Aurelia we wish you were never born" "
Aurelia you ruined our life"
"Aurelia, you're worthless"

They never even attempted to form a relationship with me.

I took care of myself most my life. I started making my own food at 11. I became independent at a young age.

You've seen my back tattoo, but Dracos the only one who's seen the marks.

My parents whipped me when they were angry.
