Chapter 2

I groaned as I turned around in bed as the sun's rays got in my eyes. This was one of the worst possible ways one could wake up to. I frawned yawning as I sat up checking the time on my phone; it was 9a.m. I sighed throwing my upper body back down, I shouldn't even be up by now. I knew my crazy schedule enough to know I was supposed to wake up around 11 today.

My body felt heavy and tired as I turned around facing the open window. I can't believe I forgot to-I snapped back up looking at the open window and curtains. I know that I slept late last night but I was a hundred percent sure that I closed the window and the curtains. My head started spinning as I stood to my feet.

I felt like someone had they hands tightly wrapped around my neck as my chest moved up and down- a head splitting migraine coming over me as specific memories flooded my mind- as I tried to take control of my breathing. This can't be happening again. He was here again. He's going to take you like he promised. He-This can't be happening. This can't be -

What can't be happening again, it's impossible for it to be happening again if it never happened in the first place. The words played over and over again in my head until I regained my vision and ability to control my breathing.

I took in a deep breath listening to my conscious. I felt better, better enough to be awake. After a moment of composing myself I wrapped some sheets around myself and headed to the window. This technique helped me a lot- I never dived deep because there was nothing yet I felt like there should be something. I slowly approached it looking outside I didn't know what exactly I expected to find but I was seeking relief which I didn't get.

There was not a body in sight. I wasn't sleepy anymore I was just worried and scared. As much as I had no clue of my next step what I did know for sure was that there was no way I was telling my parents. I had my reasons as to why and one of them including not wanting my freedom to be taken away from me and the other was I didn't want to worry them over possibly nothing, not again.

Questions swamped up in my head. If someone had broke into the house an alarm would have went off. If they tried climbing through my window an alarm would have been triggered and how on earth did they get through the gate. I closed my window shut and closed the curtains before stepping back. You need to calm down, there is a perfectly good explanation for all of this.

What if- everything seemed to stop as I heard a sound downstairs, I rushed downstairs, at this point I didn't care what I would find as long as it wasn't him- either way the suspense would be gone because it was slowly sucking the life out of me. I sighed in relief when I saw my Aunt in the kitchen with her back turned to me. I quickly blinked the tears away and ignored the pounding of my racing heart against my chest.

"A woman shouldn't sleep until the sun gets into the crack of her ass." she said her back still turned, I chuckled at her words - something I would never follow but none the less I kind of missed her. I looked at the open kitchen -that my mom had single handedly designer as if she would ever use it- she does use it when she was back that was barely ever. From the granite grey counter tops to the wooden pizza oven she had wanted- I saw no point of it.

"Good morning to you too Aunty." It's was a bitter sweet feeling to see her seeing as the hole in my heart seemed to take over my emotions. Deep down I felt bad-I sometimes suspected if I had hurt her for being too close with her sister and never truly building a solid relationship either her.

"Aurora you sleep too much. It's not good for you." she said making me wince at my full name before smiling at her. I went over to give her a hug when she held her hands out to me. By her attire I could tell that she was off to work- which reminded me why we weren't so close- she was just like her older sister who is my mom. Being a workaholic runs in the family.
