The New Girl

Chapter 70 - Trouble

Aurora Jones.

I could feel my entire body stiffen the moment the words left Jon's lips. Never once did I think he would ever bring that up, yet here he is practically ripping my heart out of my chest.

I trusted him with this information and hoped he'd never bring it up, ever! I was foolish to believe that, especially when I knew exactly why he was being so hostile to my new friends.

"I'm sorry to bring your mother up in an argument, but you and I both know you shouldn't be hanging around them. Their world is completely different than ours and what happened to your mother only proves-"

"Get out!" I cut him off. "I won't allow you to use my mother's death to try to make a point only you would think is right!" I practically screamed.

Jon grabbed my hand in his. I would've snatched it away, but the tight grip he had on me made that impossible. "I'm doing this for you, Aurora! You can't be with people like them! They mess with your head-"

"Not once have I felt threatened by them! Even if I have, it's obvious they've all made up for it and are now doing everything they can to help me regain my memories and move past this! Anyone with common sense can see you are not here for that, so it's better for you to leave!" I shouted, once again, struggling in his grip.

All the relief of seeing Jon earlier has faded into nothing. I no longer want to be around him or even want to think about anything he's said or done! I was wrong about him, Jon has changed completely! He would never say or do anything to hurt anyone yet here he is tearing my heart apart.

This has really taught me to be careful with who I trust. I never once thought I'd see the day where Jon broke my trust, yet here I am. As much as this hurts, I knew I had to get him to leave. I couldn't even look at him anymore.

I haven't told anyone how my mother died. Everyone just assumes it was an accident or she got sick, but they're all wrong...

My mother committed suicide.

It's not something we like to talk or tell others about, so we just let everyone assume she got sick or was involved in an accident. No one ever dares to ask and when they do, my father and I just stay silent. Whenever we did that they'd apologize and we would all move on with our lives.

"I'm not going to leave, especially because you don't want to admit how right I can be about this! This is a big deal and I'm only trying to help you because I love you!" He snapped.

The beeping of the heart monitor began to quicken as Jon's hand tightened around my hand. A shock of pain was felt throughout my hand causing my heart rate to quicken.

I did love Jon, I really did. Leaving him was one of the hardest thing I've ever had to go through, but I just couldn't handle it. I wasn't going to be able to juggle a long distance relationship and starting a new life all at once. I figured he understood that, at least that's what he told me. I guess he really didn't and now has some sort of crazy plan to get us back together.

My head began pounding and I began to feel weak, "Jon! Let go! I can't have you here right now! I need to be alone!" I shouted.

I couldn't handle this right now, I wasn't strong enough for any of this. The pain of remembering everything my father told me about my mother was too much to bare. I was going to lose consciousness if Jon didn't leave.

I couldn't allow myself to pass out again. My doctor has already warned me how dangerous too much stress could be for my body and I'm really trying to calm myself down, but Jon is making things really difficult for me.
