Better The Devil You Know

Hallelujah My Ass

"Which one do I get? There's hundreds!"

"Ummm... Get the most expensive. And buy a couple."

"£20! For one! Jesus." Aurora grabbed a handful throwing them in her basket as she spoke to Lucy on the phone.

Walking out of Boots, Aurora hung up, promising to call back soon.

Her hands were shaking slightly as got in her car, driving to the office.

She was currently an hour late to work which would've mattered if she wasn't married to her boss.

🖤

"Hey Aurora!" Sarah greeted her as she hurried in.

"Hey! I'm so sorry I'm late."

"Don't worry about it. Nothing much has happened."

"Where's Nathan?"

"In a meeting, but he should be out soon. Want me to tell him you're here?"

"No I'll see him after. Thank you though!"

Aurora walked past Sarah and down the hall, clutching her bag with her newly purchased items close to her chest.

Walking into her office, Aurora quickly shut the door, locking it behind her and leaning against the door.

Noticing the pile of paperwork she had to go through and the list of clients she needed to call, Aurora pushed her hair off her face and took a deep breath.

She shook off her coat, throwing it onto the sofa as she shook her blouse out, flushing uncontrollably.

Kicking off her heels and fiddling with her long pencil skirt she fussed around, her forehead beaded with sweat.

A knock on the door made her panic.

"I'm busy, come back later."

"Aurora? It's me." The comforting voice made Aurora run to throw the door open.

"Oh my god, you're here. Thank you Jesus." Aurora wrapped her arms around Samantha.

Shutting the door again, Aurora turned back around.

"What are you doing here?"

"To help you dumbass. You think I'd just let you do this on your own. Besides you are full on panicking."

"I am." Aurora practically cried.

"I know. So go in there," Samantha gestured to the bathroom, "take it, and then call me in ok?"

🖤

"Ok, run this through with me again."

Aurora was sat curled up on the floor hugging her knees as Sam sat on the toilet.

"My last period was the beginning of June. Three months ago."

"Ok."

"I thought I had really bad food poisoning..."

"Yeh you said you ate dodgy chicken."
