A/N: Hi 🙋‍♀️, this my first time write fan fiction, so bare with me. Also my grammar will mostly be bad but I'm not going to fix it until I finish writing if I do at all. If you are one of my irl's..... well this is awkward

Aurora's POV

Walking the streets late at night probably isn't the best idea, but it's the only way I can clear my head these days. Most people would be scared due to the high crime rate but I've done this a lot and I know the neighborhood by heart so I'm not too worried.

I pull my phone out of my pocket to change the song I'm listening to, while also glancing at the time. It's only 11 pm so my dad should still be up, maybe I should walk around for another hour and watch the stars. I reach up to take out my earbuds and rub my temples. I have had Four on a loop all day to drown out my dad, specifically Spaces.

I sigh and put my earbuds back in, looking around me. I am walking down a common street, but there's no one around. Everything is closed already except for a few gas station here and there. I look up to see that the lights at Daisy's diner are still on and decide to make my way over.

I cross the street not really paying attention because there's no one out this late anyways. I walk up to the southern styled diner, pulling the door open and hearing the familiar jingle. I look to my left seeing three guys sitting in a booth at the far end.  I walk to the counter and sit down as someone comes out from the kitchen.

"Aurora darling, how are ya honey?" Miss daisy asked with a warm smile.

"Hi Miss Daisy, I'm fine thanks and as always call me Rory" I laugh, everyone calls me Rory except for her. I have been coming to this diner for as long as I can remember. I used to come with my family but now I just come by myself. Miss Daisy is a older woman, with greying hair and silky chocolate skin. She moved here from Georgia 30 years ago but still has that southern charm, which is why everybody adores her.

"Now Suga, I practically gifted you the name Aurora myself when I went to see you and your Mama the day after you were born and I'll see fit to use it" she said waving her finger at me. I smile and look down picking at my finger nails. "What are you doing out so late?"

"Oh you know, the usual, running away from my problems" I joke but am also serious, I was basically doing anything just to not go home at the moment.

"Oh honey, aren't we all"

I watch as she pours me a cup of coffee. I turn slightly in my seat to look at the guys again after hearing someone talking rather loudly, but as soon as I did they all quieted themselves again. I look back to Miss Daisy to see her humming while sweeping the the floor, in her own world.

I pour some cream and sugar in my coffee and stir it slowly watching the liquid flow over the spoon. I look back over to where the guys were to see they had disappeared. That's weird I didn't even hear the bell on the door. I let the thought go as Miss Daisy makes her way back over to me.

"How are things with your father?" She asks putting the broom away, leaning against the counter and crossing her arms.

"Same as always, we are either fighting or there is complete silence while we ignore each other." It has been this way for awhile now and as bad as it sounds it has become a routine for us.

"He should be asleep by now," she said while checking her watch,2 "if you are willing to wait for me to close, I can give you a ride home." She offered while walking through the kitchen door to turn the lights off.

I wait for five minutes until we make our way out the door. She turns to lock the door and then we walk to her car. It's an old car, that's mostly falling apart and has more than it's fair share of duck tape but she cherishes it like it's a brand new Corvette.

We get in and she start the car. The heat turns on right away, as does the radio, playing some funky disco music. I give her a funny look at that and she laughs.

"It wakes me up in the morning, that's all, don't knock it till you try it." She laughs again and I shake my head.

"Okay Miss Daisy whatever you say"

We sit in comfortable silence for the ten minutes it takes to get to my house. We're almost half way there when we stop at a red light.

I notice a someone walking down the street and turn into an alleyway. He was tall and lean but looked like he had some muscle. He was wearing black jeans and a hoodie with the hood up, but a tuft of blondish brown hair was peaking through, he in all honesty looked quite suspicious. As we drove away the sighting falls to the back of my mind as I get distracted by the car moving again.

Niall's POV

I walk down the street a little faster as I see the car stopped at the light. As I turn the corner into the alleyway I look over my shoulder to see the car drive off. Good there can't be any witnesses for this. I put on a hard exterior as I approach the guy I am meeting.
