Aurora
"Aurora this isn't going to work." Aunt Amber said as she walked into my newly trashed bedroom.
"Why?" I asked.
"Your mother has called interpol and having your father arrested." She said. The doorbell rang and the butler opened the door. Officers came in my room.
"We're here to take you home." A lady said softly to me.
"I ran away. Didn't get kidnapped and techincally my dad can have me." I said. They looked at each other and one gave me a letter.
"Give this to your father." The woman said then they left. I looked in it. A court date. For the custody battle. I bit my lip.
"Aurora I have something to tell you." Aunt Amber said.
"What?" I asked.
"I also want custody." She said. I looked at her.
"Why?" I asked.
"Well me and your parents friends. We think it's unhealthy to be in the middle. Technically we were told to keep you in our care until this ends. You won't be going to America for a little while." She said. "I bought out an apartment building just so we could have privacy. It's supposed to open later this year." She said.
I went numb. Am I worth this much to fight over? I'm just a girl with two parents who are rich and hate each other. Aunt Amber kept talking about how her and her friends were a good choice and they would let me see my parent and it's not permanent.
I walked outside and got in her car. She started to drive and it was quiet. We got to the building and a man greeted us. He hugged me and her.
"Aurora this is my husband." She said.
"Hi Alfie." I said bitterly. Aunt Amber nudged me.
"Hi Aurora." Alfie said hugging me. I politely stepped away then ran through the building. I found a room picked the lock and collapsed on the ground. I hate my life!
Stupid split parents. Why don't they just share me!?
Patricia
Amber suddenly called us yesturday saying we have a niece. We all decided she'd be in healthy condotions with us. She isn't taking it too well. Eddie and I rushed over.
"She locked herself in a room." Jerome said as we got there. I bit my lip.
"And noones trying to get her out?" Eddie asked.
"She cussed out Amber, Mara and Joy. They said she was grounded and she said go fuck yourself so no not anymore." Jerome said.
Nina and Fabian have a child who cusses? Never thought that could happen. But I do understand it. I mean the custody battle is planned to last a long time. I mean we're choosing custody for two countries here. Both rich, powerful, mentally sane.
We went to where she locked herself in. Amber, Alfie, Mick, Joy, and Mara sat outside. I heard crashing and screaming inside.
Eddie picked the lock. A vase smashed against the wall next to my head.
"Aurora you're grounded." Eddie called as we walked through. She was hiding behind the couch. She had grabbed everything sharp or glass.
"I'm not listening to any of you." Aurora snapped. Shattered glass was all around her. She was bleeding.
"Eddie leave for a second." I said.
"But-" He started.
"Go." I said. He did. Aurora looked at me.
"What?" Aurora snapped.
"Don't pull that teenage angst stuff. I was that. I know that really you're just upset." I said.
"You don't fucking know anything." She said.
"Aurora we know your parents. We just want what's best for you. Your parents are crazy about you." I said.
"Then take me too them." She said.
"Their devious. They're already trying to lock each other up in prison. One would frame the other for some crime to get you and the other would do the same. Then you know what would happen? A foster home. You would go into a foster home. They probably would dump you into a bad one for all the crap you put judges through." I said. She burst into tears and hugged me.
"I'm sorry. I just want to go back to normal." She said.
"I know." I said. She wiped her eyes.
"I only wanna talk to you." She said.
"Fine but you're grounded." I said.
"I don't care." She said.
"Alright. We're gonna be friends okay?" I said holding outhMy hand. She high fived and smiled. She seems cool.
