The Angel's Beast

Chapter 2

*flashback*

"I hope you will understand me. This matter is serious, especially for me." He said while looking into my eyes before he sat beside me.

He explained to me about the 'serious' matter. Is this guy serious? I just sat there, staring at him in shock before bursting out laughing. He looked at me, confused and angry?

"Don't laughhhhh it's serious." He said whining. I calmed myself down and wiping the tears off my face. I took a deep breath before facing him.

"You're scared of cats? How and why? They're so cute and precious." I said while turning myself to face him. "Their claws...its sharp." He said while crossing his arms. I chuckled before getting up. "Where are you going?" He asked while sitting 90 degrees. 

"Going to adopt a cat." I said jokingly. "Roseeeee" I heard him whine again. I laughed while getting my phone. "I'm just kidding." I said while sitting beside him. I opened a few texts I got, most of them congratulating me. Then I saw a text. A text from a person I didn't nor want to receive from. My ex. 

"All good there my rose? You're face changed." I heard him saying in a worried tone. I shook my head before smiling at him and closing my phone. Then I realized what he called me. My rose. "W-what did you call me?" I asked him, feeling a bit shy. "My rose. I called you my rose." He said while smirking. I felt my face heating up. "Someone's blushing." I heard him say teasingly. "Oh shut up." I said while turning away from him. I heard him laughing, which I'm not gonna lie, made me laugh too."

"I didn't expect us to be this close even though we don't know each other." I said while laying down beside him. I saw him smiling while looking at me. "I remember being scared that you were abusive or something." I said while chuckling. I heard him scoff sarcastically before looking at me. "Me? Abusive? I'm the most gentlest gentleman you'll ever meet." He said with confidence while flipping his not so long hair. I laughed at his response. "It all feels like a dream." I said while looking up at the ceiling. Silence. No response from him.

"Aaron?" I called out his name before looking beside me. Aaron was staring at me with a tense but..sad face? "Aaron? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked while sitting up, its getting scary.

"It feels like a dream you say?" He asked before chuckling. "Aaron..you're freaking me out." I said while getting scared. He looked at me, dead in the eyes. "Because it is a dream my rose." He said while looking at me, no emotions displaying on his face nor eyes.

I stared at him, in shock and confusion. A dream? It feels so real. It can't be a dream right? "W-what are you talking about?" I asked in fear. "This is a dream mia bella. You're about to wake up. May we meet again, my rose." He said before everything went dark.

I started opening my eyes, light shining brightly. I flinched due to the brightness. After opening my eyes and adjusting to the light, I looked around me. It looks I'm in a...hospital bed? What happened? Where's Aaron? Was it all just a dream? Why did it feel so real? Questions started forming in my head before someone came in.

"Honey! You're awake!" I heard my mom saying while running to me and hugging me. "M-mom? What happened? Why am I here? Where's Aaron?" I blasted her with questions. My mom pulled away, looking at me with teary eyes. "You got into a car accident. You have been in a coma for 3 years." My mom said while crying. What? Coma? Car accident? I've been in a coma for 3 years? "W-wheres Aaron?" I asked my mom while tears started forming in my eyes. This can't be real. My mom looked at me confused.

"Aaron? Who are you talking about honey?" My mom asked while caressing my face. What? "You arranged me a marriage with a guy named Aaron. Mom what's happening?" I asked while crying. I can't take all this in. "Honey I never arranged your marriage with anyone." My mom said. "Honey, did you dream about something?" She asked while wiping my tears. I explained to her everything.

"My god.. It's okay honey, it's all just a dream." My mom said while smiling. Someone then entered the room. I'm guessing it's the doctor. "Sorry for disturbing, but I'm here to check Ms Aurelia's condition. 

After the check up, it's been confirmed that I am diagnosed with amnesia. The doctor said I can go home after one day. I can't believe this. The dream felt so real...as if its part of my old memory. 

After getting back home, I went into my room. It was clean, which means the maids still cleaned my room even though my rate of survival was low. I sat on the bed, trying to recall any memories. But when I tried to do it, a bad headache attacked me. I held my head which was throbbing in pain. I drank some water which reduced the headache. 

"Aurelia?" I saw my mom in front of my door. I smiled at her. "Yes mom?" I said while getting up. "Dinner is ready, freshen up and come." She said while smiling and closing the door. I went to my closet. "W-what?" I saw a familiar looking pajamas. The one I wore in my 'dream'  I let out a sigh and went to take a shower. I wore the pajamas, brushed my hair and went down. I heard a few people talking. "Mom?"

I called her out, which resulted everyone in the room to look at me. "Oh there she is. This is my one and only daughter, Aurelia Rose." My mom introduced me to the unknown faces. I scanned each faces, until I saw a familiar one. A very familiar face. Aaron?

"Nice to meet you Aurelia. I'm Xavier Astor. This is my son, Aaron Alexander Astor." He said while tapping his shoulder. Aaron? No this can't be. "Honey are you okay?" I heard my mom asking me, worried. I shook my head and sat down with her. After having dinner, I went to the garden outside to calm myself down. As I was walking, I saw someone familiar. Aaron.

I walked up to him before starting a conversation. "Hey." I said while smiling. He was sweet in my dream, he should be in real life too. Right? He stared at me with cold eyes before looking in front. I stood there, speechless. He isn't like the one in my dream. "Have we met before?" I asked after gaining strength. He turned to look at me with his cold eyes.

"I don't know you nor do I want to get to know you." He said in a cold tone before going inside. I stood there, frozen. This isn't the Aaron I saw in my dream. I don't know why but I feel...hurt. Without realising, tears started dripping down my cheeks. I quickly wiped them away before taking a deep breath. I'm a strong girl! A useless dream can't hurt me. 

After calming myself down, I went back inside. I kissed my mom goodnight before going to my room. I responded to the thousands of texts I received before going to bed. Hopefully the dream will be erased from my memory when I wake up. Before everything went black, I noticed Aaron's figure at my door. That's the last thing I saw before falling asleep.
