"My darling girl, you will be safe here away from them, they will think you are gone but you will be safe and you will come back to your roots and to me. One day we'll be together. For now, I will give every last strength I have for you to fit in." the woman whispers to the baby that she was carrying. "I will always be with you."
Then there was a sudden cloud of darkness that came over. And a baby started screaming...
"AHH!" I woke up screaming while trying to catch my breath, inhaling deeply.
I literally screamed until my whole family woke up! we had quite thin walls and I then heard footsteps quickly approaching my room and i also heard someone knocking on my door.
"Aurora are you okay?" Dad asked me with a worried tone in his voice from outside of my bedroom door.
I couldn't reply, I can't even breathe properly. Why can't I talk?
My dad busts the door open and he quickly runs to my side with mom, my brothers came rushing in after that.
My Mom hugs me and pulls me closer to her while I'm still catching my breath.
"Auri, my baby girl, what happen?" asked mom as she looked at me with a worried expression on her face.
Shakingly I said " I don't know, it was a bad dream I guess, but it seems so real"
My mom signals Alex to get me water and Nick went and sit on my bed "what was it about?" he asked me curiously.
"I.....I don't know." I said sobbing.
I felt my mom flinch, I look up at her and she looked at my dad, Alex came in to give me my water and saw my parents looking at each other.
"What happen" Alex asked.
"Nothing, your sister just had a nightmare, Auri we are going to keep the lights on and the door open, if this happens again please wake us up okay?" said mom and I nodded.
"Mom, what about we just sleep here with her? we can take the old mattress and sleep on the floor," said Josh pointing at my other brothers.
"I think that is a good idea" Dad smiled and so did mom.
"Sweet Dreams Princess," said dad kissing my forehead and mom patting my back before they left the room.
"You can't just stop giving us trouble huh, Auri" said Alex while he pats my head.
"Well, you don't have to stay if you don't want to! Neither of you have to! I am not a baby anymore!" I raised my voice at them angrily.
Nick sighed "Auri, like it or not we need to take care of you, we are worried for you."
"Yeah, we don't want anything bad to happen to you, like what happened the last tim....." said josh
I stopped him and screamed "It won't happen again, okay"
"Stop shouting already, we just want to make sure that you are okay and besides we needed a brother-sister moment anyway, like we used to have when we were younger," said Alex
"Fine, I'm sorry for shouting, I just don't like anyone to mention that day," I said while looking down at my bedsheet.
"It is okay Auri, we won't mention it if you don't want to," said Josh while going out of the room with the rest of my brothers taking as they took out the mattress which was still new and put it on the floor next to my bed. "Auri, we will always be there for you as a family"
"Good night Auri!!" said everyone. I just smiled at them as they laid down on the mattress and then we all fell asleep till the next morning came.
The next day, everything went normal and I ate breakfast, went to school, and went to my classes like normal.
"Aurora!!"
everything went by fast.
"Aurora!!"
"I can't stop thinking about that dream, what does it mean?"
"HELLO?? EARTH TO AURORA!!"
I looked up and saw Mikayla in front of me leaning near my locker, looking at me weirdly.
"Are you ok? you have been spacing out recently," asked Mikayla.
"No.. I mean yeah, I'm fine" I said nervously.
"Well, okay since it's lunchtime, we better get to our spot then," she said with an exciting tone in her voice.
I just nodded and followed her and went through the cafeteria to the outside extended part of the cafeteria like yesterday, and saw everyone was there and even new faces too.
"Here she is!!" said Mikayla
She took my hand pull me closer to her. And who I saw in front of me were 3 people, 2 girls and 1 boy. They were all staring at me.
"Aurora, you didn't get to meet all the gang yet so let me introduce you" she went close to one of the girls.
She has beautiful brown hair and a slim figure wearing a cute long sleeve top and a long skirt with cute patterns on it that goes all the way to her ankles.
"This is Sonia, so you didn't see her yesterday because she was sick"
She then went in the middle of the other two. They both have black hair and one of them is wearing a jacket while wearing a cute long sleeve top which I can see coming out of her jacket sleeve and pants. while the other one is a guy who was wearing a hoodie and long pants.
"And this is Kimiko and Kyo and they are twins, but they like to be called Kimi and K, and yes K like the letter," said Mikayla.
So it went as per normal, Sonia, K and Kimi were really nice to me, I felt so comfortable around them, it's as if I have a connection with them but I still need time to get close to all of them. I have to be careful not to be so vulnerable around people.
After my last class, I went straight to my locker to take my books and homework back home until a girl came and slam my locker shut. I look at her she was tall and had beautiful black hair with highlights on them she was standing really close to me, I feel nervous and scared, she had a furious look on her face.
" Okay, I don't know who you are but, stay away from Ryder, he is mine!" she raised her voice at me. Everyone started to stare at me, some had looks of pity for me while others were just shocked.
So it took all the courage I have to say "We are friends, what is it to you??"
*What is going on with me! Why did i say that!, That's it, time to move again to a new town*
"Friends? who wants to be friends with you!" she mocked me and made me feel self-conscious about myself like others did before, I am not the prettiest nor fittest, I am quite chubby and short for my age and I am not really considered healthy to others. Her comments made me tear up but I was trying to hold it in not to give her the satisfaction.
I felt a sudden wind coming through and saw something hit my locker which slightly dented it and fell to the ground it was a hair chopstick, we were all confused.
"Hey Heather! The next one is going to be aimed at you if you don't back off!!"I saw that the threat came from Kimi who was holding the other pair of her hair chopsticks with her.
Heather was shaken even though she was trying hard not to show it.
"Whatever, Yamamoto!" Heather said and then ran off with her friends.
Kimi went near me and took the other hair chopstick off the floor and wipe it off.
"This thing over here is stylish and yet a deadly weapon, i got the idea from my Auntie Risa!" she said while holding it in a stabbing motion.
"Thanks, Kimi, I really don't know what she is going to do with me if you hadn't shown up," I said with admiration at how tough and brave she is.
"No problem, someone had to put her in her place, plus you were brave too, you spoke your mind and still have the guts to talk back to her. Not a lot of girls have the courage to do that," said Kimi.
I just smiled and blushed when she said that, this is the first time someone had called me brave, most people will call me weird or just ignore what I said and pretend they didn't hear me.
"Well, I will be going then, I need to look for Kyo. Bye Aurora!" she said waving at me while she went off.
I waited for my brothers outside of the main entrance, as usual, so we can walk home together, but they were late so I texted them. No reply, I try calling them, still no reply, i message and called all of them and still nothing!
"UGH! Where are you guys!!." feeling frustrated and tired I just sat at the school's staircase as students and some classmates going back home.
Suddenly my phone vibrated and I saw that Josh reply to the message:
Josh:
Hey Sis, so, we kinda forgot to tell you that we have Football Try-Outs today and it will end late.
Me:
We?! and how late? why am i just hearing about this and now? why didn't you put this on our family Whatsapp group chat, so we all can be notified? There is a reason why we all agreed to create that group chat.
Josh:
SORRY:( it slipped our minds, can you go home by yourself today? Oh, and tell mom and dad we'll be late for dinner.
Me:
Fine, I will tell mom but at least use the group chat next time, so we all can be notified about any events or any thing else that needed to be notified.
Josh:
Thanks, sis! You are the Best! :)
I put my phone back into my pocket and began walking home, once i reach home I open the door and saw that no one is home, it was quiet. I was feeling hungry, so I went to the kitchen to get a snack. I went to the fridge and notice a note that was stuck on the fridge with a magnet. It reads:
Kids,
Your father and I went out to the mart to buy some groceries. We will also be going furniture shopping. We won't stay out long. There is food on the stove for your kids. Do not make a mess and clean up after yourself.
-Mom
*In my mind*
*I'm alone? I'm alone! Yes!*
I felt like jumping around the house, well, I did! I went straight to the TV and watch anime! I never get the TV all to myself. Maybe my brothers joining the football team would be great after all.
After I watched 2 hours of anime, my phone started buzzing and I grab my phone and saw that it was the WhatsApp family group chat.
Josh
Hi! We just finished Football Tryouts, we going home soon!
Alex
Is there anything to eat at home? I am literally starving!
Me
Figuratively!, you are Figuratiovely starving, Alex.
Alex
Who cares?!
Mom
Will, you ever stop fighting, and yes there is food on the stove, your dad and I are shopping for furniture. We will be coming home soon. Please don't make a mess.
Josh
Sure, mom :)
Alex
Fine
Nick
Okay!
ME
Ok
After that, I went straight up to my room and enjoy the last few minutes of a brother-free day and have some relaxing and quiet day in the house. I started to look out at my window and saw a silhouette from the window that is facing mine. I ignore it and started to read some manga online. I love romance manga they always get me into that romantic mood where I could just leave reality and go to a world where cute guys would fall for me.
Or be a girl that had adventures, or has suddenly got an amazing talent for making pastries.
The window was open so I could feel the cool breeze, it was so calming.
"Aurora? Is that you?" a heard voice came from out my window?
I looked up and away from my laptop and saw Ryder??
