Aurora is the fifth member of FreakShow. Chase, Claire, Haley, Aurora, and Hamzah.
But she feels something for one of them. Something more than just friendship.
She loves Hamzah.
The next day breezed by. At school, I tried my best to ignore Jenny, but she would always find a way to laugh at me or point out my injuries. Let's just say I cried in the bathroom. Twice. When I finally got home I collapsed on my bed, and started crying again. Sobs quietly shook my body. I decided the best thing to do right now would be check my phone. My friends always make me feel better.
Aurora: i'm bored seen by 3
I sighed and gave up on that. I decided the second best thing to do would be get in comfy clothes, eat ice cream, and cry.

I was about halfway through Twilight:New Moon When my phone started buzzing. I picked it up.
Incoming FaceTime: Hamzah💕
I honestly didn't care about anyone or anything in the moment, and I carelessly picked up.
"Hey Aurora what's-" He paused mid sentence after seeing my tear stained cheeks and contorted crying face.
"Whats wrong?" He asked softly.
"He just- he just left her. In the woods." I said through spoonfuls of ice cream. Hamzah furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. I turned my camera around to show him the movie. Fresh tears spilled as I watched the scenes. But it wasn't only because of the movie, it was because of everything at school, as well.
"Are you sure that's all that's wrong? You seem pretty upset," He asked. I sighed. Am I really that easy to read?
"No, it's not all.." I admitted quietly. I turned the camera back to me and I saw Hamzahs face soften.
"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked. I sighed and looked up to the ceiling.
"Maybe."
I set up my phone on the coffee table, against a plant.
Then, I ranted. I ranted about Jenny and Dean, I told him what had happened the day before, and I told him how I felt. How I felt like a huge piece of trash. A piece of garbage. He listened quietly as I chatted, nodding along at parts. When I was finished, he was quiet.
"I'm so sorry Aurora."
"You weren't the one who punched me," I pointed out. "It's not your fault." He sighed and looked at me.
"I know. But I'm sorry that happened. If I see that Dean guy I swear I will-"
"Woah calm down Jamal, don't pull out the nine," I joked. He chuckled. I smiled. I realized in that moment how lucky I was to have Hamzah. If I didn't have him talking to me right now, I would be a mess.
Hamzah and I continued chatting until it got dark, and I had to go make dinner.
"Bye Hammie, have a goodnight." I said. Hamzah smiled at the nickname.
"Sleep well Aurora."
He ended the call before he could see my face turn red. I smiled at nothing as I got up to go make myself dinner.

I finished dinner fairly quick. I always eat alone. Here's the deal, my mother passed away when I was a toddler, so its just been me and my dad. The problem with that is that my dad is a successful business man, meaning he is always away on business trips. And I mean always. The first time he went on one was when I was eight. He left me a note and some food in the fridge and told me he'd be back in a couple days. I've learned to be independent over the years, shopping for groceries, cooking, finances, all that jazz. Although it was nice to be able to blast music as loud as I want, or invite anyone over, it was incredibly lonely by myself. And when my father did come home, he was gone from 6 - 11, usually when I was asleep. I guess that's called child neglect, but whatevs.
I sighed and cleaned my dishes. I turned on the alarm system and then went to get ready for bed.
The next day, I was at lunch, when my phone buzzed.
Hamzah💕 hey rory, can we talk?
My breath caught in my throat. My friend, who I only have lunch with, saw my face.
"What happened?" She asked. I shook my head and tucked my phone into my pocket.
"Nothing." She gave a look but went back to chatting with the others. I sighed, and got up to go to the bathroom. As soon as I locked myself in a stall, I pulled out my phone.
Me sure what's up?
I held my breath as his typing icon appeared.
Hamzah💕 ahhhh can we call?
I was confused. Why did he want to talk?
Me sure
Incoming Call: Hamzah💕
I quickly hit accept and put the phone to my ear.
"Hey Hamzah, what's up?" I asked.
"Aurora," He said, taking a deep breath.
"I like you."
