"Need a hand?"

I turned to see a good looking man. He stood about 6 Feet tall, had fluffy dirty blond hair and blue piercing eyes.

He wore a white button up shirt and black dressing pants.

He had a welcoming, innocent smirk on his face. I smiled back at him "Sure"

I took a step back as he picked up the last box out of the trunk and put it on the dolly. I shut the trunk close and locked the car.

He pulled the dolly out on the side walk.

He sighed "well I have to get back to work."

He point to the restaurant across the street.

"Wait your a waitress?" I questioned

He shook his head "Nah I'm the manager."

I nodded "Um do you have any job openings by any chance."

He shrugged

"Uhh Yeah actually we do, Come in on Monday."

I sighed "I'll get my resume ready."

He chuckled

"No resume needed. you got the job."

I smirked "Really?"

He nodded "Yeah I mean why would I need a resume all you do is serve food."

I nodded "Thanks."

He turned to look at the restaurant and look back at me "No problem, I'm Nate by the way, here's my number."

He took out a business card and a pen from his pocket and jotted his number and handed me the card.

I smirked "Thanks Nate, I'm Aurora."

He raised his eyebrow "Aurora? Nice name."

He lightly smiled shoving his hands in his pockets then turned around and walked away.

I grabbed the handles of the dolly and pulled it into the building. I took the elevator to the 8th floor where my one room apartment was. It was pretty small, But it was really cozy I liked it. I had put led lights on the ceiling and in the bathroom before hand and everything including the view was just a vibe.

I had gotten to the 8th floor I went down the hallway the find the number 524 which was my apartment number.

Once I found it I took out my keys and unlocked my door. I pulled in to dolly and quickly unloaded my boxes.

Then I quickly peaked my head out into the hallway to see if anyone was walking, I quickly pushed the dolly away from my door and shut it.

There it was my tiny apartment in all its glory. My Favorite thing about it was the window was a whole wall and there was the perfect view off Seattle.

It was crazy to me. Just a week ago today life was so different, I thought of thing's differently.

One thing that came across my mind from time to time is if Ryder knew about the police that just barged into my house and just shot my Mom with no hesitation.

Of course he knew and I kinda wanted to ask him a favor, But then again. I haven't talked to him since that day when we almost kissed.

I sighed as a walked to the couch and sat down with my hand on my head not knowing what to do now.

My friends knew I needed space and we haven't talked since the funeral. It was around 9pm.

So I changed into peach colored off the shoulder dress and walked to the nearest bar that was a few blocks away.

Once I got to the bar, I went inside and took a seat at a bar stool.

"ID?"

I showed the bartender the fake ID Kait had gave me.

"Ok what can I get for you?"

I groaned "Just the usual rum and coke."

(Six drinks later)

I was pretty wasted, My brain felt like that was gonna explode out of my head and I was hoping I would maybe get a text from Nate..

"What are you doing here?"

I look over to see Ryder leaning back against the wall with his arms crossed over over his chest.

I groaned "Are you like stalking me are something?"

He rolled his eyes in annoyance

"You really think I have the time to stalk you?"

I shrugged "I don't fucking know dude."

He exhaled sharply "So what are you doing here by yourself?

I raised one eyebrow as if it wasn't already obvious "Grabbing a drink."

He had cold stare, and as usual a don't give a shit attitude, He definitely knew I was wasted.

"I'm going home and your not dragging me because I'm a independent, smart, careful woman bye Ry Ry."

I walked past him pretty unstable but with pride I had my head up high and a smirk on my face. Until I slipped and fell on my ass.

"Smart, independent and careful huh?"

I looked up to see Ryder towering over me. He didn't look to surprised that I slipped.

I rolled my eyes "whatever."

Pain grew in my ankle as I struggled to get up.

Ryder sighed "here."

He stuck out his hand, I looked up at him as I took his hand. He pulled me up, Couldn't feel my legs causing me to have a hard time standing still.

Ryder gently put his hands on my waist by surprised I fliched a little but it helped me stand still.

He looked down at my heels and looked back up at me in confusion

"I think you should take those off."

I groaned "I'm no going walking with my barefoot."

"Your logic is worse then your struggle to handle alcohol."

I gasped "Hey you no no talk to Aurora like that!"

He shook his head "Just shut up and lets go."

I nodded "Okie Ry Ry."

"Don't call me that." He snapped

(5 Minutes later)

Ryder had basically dragged me out of the bar and I was confused like what is he on cause one second he's a little bitch and then next thing you know he's actually a decent fucking human being.

He offered to take me home. Obviously I had no choice because he would do it anyway.

I whined "These shoe's are killing me."

Ryder let out a sharp sigh "I told you to take them off."

I stopped at a bench to take them off. I groaned in relief as we continued walking with my heels in my hand.

Being the drunk bitch I am. I decided to ask Ryder for a favor that I had been wanting to ask him.

"can I ask-"

Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I put my hands on my stomach as the pain grew stronger and my vision became more blurry.

"Hey are you-"
