Narration:

BlueBrooks town killer was found it was Mr Mcgee the bookstore owner newspapers filled with accusations of Ms Mcgee aired about her helping her husband which. Made the decision for her to leave town is clear for her safety. She paid her respects to the families who her husband harmed. The bookstore shut down and got destroyed. While Ms Mcgee was evacuating her pharmacy.

Aurora visited her one last time to see Ms Mcgee who she wished the best. The ceremony was approaching everyone helped out to do a proper burial.

Night of the ceremony.

The police officers including Aurora were wearing they're uniforms. The colors were Navy Blue and Black for the dress code. Everyone was mourning the lost of their community.

Riley Stevens
Hannah Monroe
Alice Fairchild

A preacher started the ceremony " we are gathered here today to mourn our love ones. Those we never truly leave us. There are things that death cannot touch, there are sadness in tears they are not a mark of weakness but of power. They are messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and unspeakable love."

Soon family members of the victims began to speak for the ceremony. How much they missed their daughter and sisters.

Aurora decided not to speak since she didn't know Hannah nor Alice very well and it was a Cliche for her to make a speech. It was also a time for close families to discard their grieve and say their last goodbyes.
After the burial families began to eat and listen to music

*The night we met began to play*

Which brought flashbacks to Aurora's last memory of Riley

Aurora's Pov:

I was in Riley's room she was teaching me how to slow dance for a event the following weekend then night we met played.

*I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I've been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met.*

Riley grabbed my waist and pulled me in we rocked back and forth while looking in each others eyes.

"You're a really good dancer" she smiled at me, I chuckled at her comment. "I've been skilled since I was three, criminology isn't the only thing I'm good at."

*And then I can tell myself
What the hell I'm supposed to do
And then I can tell myself
Not to ride along with you*

We danced until Riley was moving her face closer till she was hovering my lips but I pulled away.

"Aurora" I looked up it was Theodore, he grabbed my hands to dance and led me to the dance floor with the others.

"I had all and then most of you*
I started to cry, " I couldn't love her and I couldn't tell her" Theodore pulled me closer. "It's not your fault"

*Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met*

I thought about Riley and she was the supposed to be dancing with me.

*I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met.*

I looked around at everyone dancing all these people shared the same feelings grieve and healing.

And to heal we can still remember but have to move on, moving on is not forgetting. It's about moving forward and not looking back

I continued dancing with Theodore until I heard voices calling me then I awoke

I saw my parents in front of me shaking me awake
"I told you to eat something before you left"
"Honey, calm down it's a process of the treatment"

I looked around the room Dr Rochester and his assistant was looking at me.

"What happened?" I asked, Dr Rochester answered my question quickly "you simply fainted due to the lack of food."
I remember why I was here Dr Rochester was my Doctor helping me with my disorders.

I'm not a Detective, Dr Rochester is not a Forensic scientist, there was no fairytale Killer.

My mother grabbed me to pull me up from the couch she thanked Dr Rochester and told me to meet her and my father in the car.

"Everything okay Aurora, Dr Rochester asked "Yes I was thinking about Riley"

"The graduated senior Riley Stevens?" Dr Rochester asked then it hit me. I was 16 years old all of that was a hallucination due to my eating habits.

I told Dr Rochester about my weird fever dream and he made a note of it. I thanked him and left The building heading to My parents car.

Then I saw her Riley Stevens she smiled at me and ran to hug me "Aurora hey" I squeezed her tightly while embracing her into a hug "what's with the Bear hug, I saw you this morning"she asked.

"It feels like so much longer"I Said. "Riley smiled
Then she asked "hey Friday night is the prom I can totally teach you how to dance and we can go pick out dresses together."

A cheesy smile appeared on my face "like me and you together? I guess it's a date then."
"you're weird Reed, I gotta run see you" Riley began walking across the street to meet her friends at the movie theater.

Then My parents called me to the car "Aurora, let's go you have school tomorrow," I got into the car and we drove back to our house while driving,

My mom passed me three books "Mr Mcgee wanted me to give you these mystery books he thinks you'll make quite the Detective one day."

"Oh, he has no idea," I smiled and looked back out of the window.
