If the long flight wasn't enough, the car ride put the cherry on top of the cake. So, to pass some time by she decided to check her Faceline which she quickly regretted when she saw all the messages and tagged post from Dylan, her ex-boyfriend and Amelia, her ex-best friend. "Mom, how much longer?" I asked, hoping it wouldn't be too long. Her mother turned around, "About an hour, hour and a half or so, Sweetheart." I nodded, looking back at my phone, browsing around until I ended up dozing off.

"Grandpa!" I yelled as I ran into his arms. "My sweet grandbaby, it's good to see you," he said as he released the hug. "Dad" Aurora said, giving him a soft-hearted smile. "Aurora, my sweet child" he said, hugging her tightly, nodding to Aldrich. "How's mom doing?" Aurora asked as they all made their way to the family room, taking a seat. "She's the same, she just went to sleep" he replied. When will the doctor be back? Aurora asked as she and Phillip took a seat on the loveseat and I, taking my favorite spot-the recliner.

Her grandfather took a long sigh, "Not until Friday, I'm afraid."

"Oh dear...will she be alright until then?"

"She has to be…"

Minutes passed and mom, dad, and grandpa were all still chatting away when I started to fall asleep. Quickly, I recovered and stood up, "May I be excused? I'd like to get some air" I asked as my glance shifted from my parents to grandpa and back to my parents again. Grandpa nodded, "Go on Sweetpea, don't go off too far though." I nodded and leaned over and pecked him on the cheek, waving to my parents as I left.

I took a long inhale before exhaling the nighttime air, how refreshing. I started to walk down the road taking in the scenery. When I came to the end of that road, I spotted a small convenience store, smiling as she headed in. I held my stomach as my stomach grumbled for food, I headed over and grabbed a soda and a bag of chips, eating them as I walked up to the counter. After, I paid the cashier I headed home.

No one heard me walk in the front door, making my way closer to the family room I heard their voices growing louder.

"What are you going to do? She's almost fifteen" Grandpa Phillip strained, obviously frustrated.

"Papa, we're going to tell her soon...when the time is right"

"Now, now is the right time Aurora!"

"Father, we have a plan and it will be done soon" Aldrich assured.

What on earth are they even talking about? I walked in, "What's the big deal about my birthday?"

"Welcome back, sweetpea." I smiled at grandpa and took my seat back in the recliner. Looking at my parents, waiting for them to answer-silence. "Well…" I strung along, pushing for them to answer.

"Absolutely nothing, just talking party plans, Rhoslyn."

"Mmhm.." I said hesitantly, not fully buying it. "Well, I'm bloody exhausted!" I yelled as I stood up stretching. I kissed them all on the cheek and headed to my room. My bedroom. Gazing at the bed, my body began to crave for it. I shook myself and got ready for bed, flopping myself on top of the bed.

So soft…

So warm...

And, with that I drifted off into a deep sleep.
