Without further ado, let the chapter begin!
Being at the infirmary wasn't a pleasant for Aaron now. Having the needles in his arm and hand is giving him flashbacks. Laying in bed didn't do Aaron any good since he would remember being strapped to a table and would be brutal tortured.
The only thing that kept him distracted from his unpleasant memories was the gifts right beside the table.
There was a few cards that said Get Well Soon, a fruit basket, and a small bouquet of flowers. He sigh quietly but heard constant knocking on the door.
"Come in?" Aaron slowly called out and sat up.
Rosie opened the door and let the Aaron's family inside. Aurora ran straight to Aaron and giggled, "Aaron!"
Aaron started to smile and held his little sister close. "Hey there princess. Did ya miss me?" Aaron asked as Sera hurried to them and hugged them tightly.
"Of course we missed you! Rosie told us everything, are you okay? I can't believe that you went through all of that sweetie." Sera worriedly exclaimed.
Aaron didn't want his aunt to worry more than she should and reassured, "Don't worry Aunt Sera. I'm stronger than you think."
Rosie sigh quietly and crossed her arms, Aaron's stubborn and Rosie knew he wanted to stay strong for his family. It was the only way that they won't worry as much.
Aaron looked around and started to frown, "Where's Liam and William?"
Sera pat his head and calmly said, "Liam is heading his way back home. Since we told him yesterday that you're back, Liam barely had time to buy a ticket. But he's on his way to see you."
"What about William?" Aaron asked.
Both Sera and Rosie were looking at each other. They weren't sure what to tell Aaron about why his father couldn't come. Aaron noticed them staying quiet and he started to roll his eyes.
"Let me guess, his girlfriend is more important?" Aaron mumbled quietly.
Rosie whispered, "I'm sorry Aaron. Your dad was only allowed to come next week."
Aaron held Aurora close and didn't reacted to the news. He always had an empty feeling when it came to his father. It was nothing new.
"Hey, my dad wanted me to tell you have a few weeks off. He wants you to recover from your wounds and to take some time off." Rosie gently told Aaron while she set a small base of pink roses on the table.
Aaron admitted, "I'll be fine after two weeks at most. I need to get back at work soon."
Rosie gave Aaron a look and crossed her arms, "Dad said you have to take at least a month off. Plus, you're on paid leave, so you don't have to worry much."
Aaron smiled faintly, he felt Aurora tighten her grip on him. Maybe taking some time off with his family won't be so bad.
Zane looked around his father's castle at the Abysus. He walked into the laboratory as he looked around for something.
After Zane confronted Biowulf and had their little fight, Breach stepped in and transport them to a secret location. At first, Zane wasn't sure what to do after he escaped from Providence.
He knew that Van Kleiss got captured. It was like something was telling him that his father is now defeated.
"What are you going to do now Zane?" Breach curiously asked from behind Zane.
Zane turned around to face Breach, Biowulf, and Skalamander. He held a file in his hands and admitted, "I..I don't know. I've been thinking about traveling around the world and finding my inner calling. Call it a clique but I think I need to do this. You three can tag along if you would like. But if you don't, then I won't stop you from doing whatever you want."
"Will you free Van Kleiss soon?" Biowulf said but Zane rolled his eyes.
Zane slowly pulled out a picture from the folder. He stared at the picture and noticed it was him and his mother when he was a little boy.
"He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Even if you three get him out of prison, do you think he'll be grateful?" Zane said and put the picture in his back pocket.
He heard the sound thunder getting closer to where they're at. Zane looked down at his hands and added, "You three can stay here. I need to go find some answers."
"Answers for what?" Breach asked.
Zane put his hoodie over his head and admitted, "If Michael experiment on different people, maybe they're went into hiding. I want to find them and ask them a few questions."
Ava looked at Six, Rebecca, and Rosie when they took her to a closed door in their home. She came back to their home just a few minutes ago and both Rebecca and Rosie welcomed her with open arms. Six was his usual self but Ava knew he was happy to have her back.
After Ava was getting settled, she was about to head to Rosie's room to set her stuff down.
However, the whole family took her to where the guest room was.
"Sorry Ava, but you can't stay in my room right now. Obviously I'm going to still use it until I move away for college." Rosie gently said.
Ava tilt her head and asked, "Where am I going to stay?"
"You're staying in your own room." Rebecca smiled when she opened the door for her.
Ava's jaw dropped when she walked into her own room.
The guest room became a perfect room for a little girl like Ava. The walls were painted light pink and has wall stickers of Ava's favorite Disney's princesses on it. Her bed is a small twin bed and her bed sheets were hot pink. The sheets had Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Rapunzel, and Belle. Above Ava's bed was a shelve drilled to the wall, there was a lot of Funko Pops of Disney princesses.
Around Ava's room was white drawers and furniture that were neatly place to complete the room.
"What do you think?" Six asked while they watched Ava slowly walked around her new room. She stopped in near the small bookshelf by her window and started tearing up.
"I love it! Thank you mommy! Thank you daddy!" Ava squealed and ran to hug the adults.
They were surprised to hear Ava calling them mommy and daddy. But it did warm their hearts nonetheless.
Rosie looked happy when she saw her parents holding Ava close and said, "What? No hug for me too?"
Ava laughed and hurried to Rosie as she held her arms up. Rosie immediately pick her up and Ava started to hug her tightly.
"You're letting me have your Funko Pops!?" Ava excitedly said when she pointed at the princesses pops.
Rosie nodded and shrugs, "I have too many Funko Pops in my rooms, so I thought it would be best to let you have some."
"How much do you have right now sweetie?" Rebecca asked causing Rosie to nervously smiled.
Rosie set Ava down and sheepishly admitted, "I...I lost track after 50 or more."
"You have a problem Rosie." Six frowned while Rosie argued, "I may have a problem but my addiction doesn't harm anyone! Besides, I buy the Funko Pops with my own money."
After wining the football game at his school, Ryan and his teams decides to go out to celebrate. The team was stuck with either going to see a movie or going bowling. In the end, the whole team decides to go celebrate by walking the Jurassic World movie that just came out.
Ryan and his team made to the movie theater just in time before the ten minute previews began.
He was busy getting some more snacks for his team when he heard a familiar laughter. Ryan stopped and his head around. Aaron, Rosie, Farron and Emma were walking in the movie theater together. Ryan recognized Emma as one of his classmates, she was really sweet and was involve with many events around school.
Ryan hurriedly grabbed the snacks and hid behind a large cardboard cutout. Trying to be sneaky, Ryan peeked out to see what the group were doing.
"Thanks for coming along for the double date Farron. Dad wouldn't let us go out unless we are accompany by someone." Rosie gratefully said while they waited in line for popcorn and drinks.
Farron smiled, "Don't mention it Rosie. Its worth it since you and Aaron are finally going on a date. Took you two long enough."
Rosie giggled while Aaron rolled his eyes and smiled as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"It took a while but its worth the wait." Aaron said and kissed Rosie's cheek. She started to blush heavily and happily agreed, "I couldn't agree more."
Ryan watched them from a distance but started to walk into the room that his teams were at. He sat in the back row and handed the snacks to them.
"What took you so long dude?" Austin asked Ryan while they were settling in their seats.
Instead of responding, Ryan just shrugged and tried to focus on the movie.
Not long after, Aaron, Rosie, Farron, and Emma went inside of the room and made their way to the middle row. Ryan internally groan, he tried to shrink himself into his seat even more. Why was this happening to him?
Everyone in the room began watching the movie and started to enjoy themselves. Except for Ryan, who was overthinking about everything.
He noticed Rosie getting up during the middle of the movie and leaving to go use the bathroom. Ryan quietly got up and started to follow her. This was his chance to finally talk to Rosie and make things right.
Once Rosie was walking down the quiet and empty hallway, she heard footsteps quickly coming her way. Her instincts got the best of her as she quickly turned around. She grabbed Ryan by the throat and twist her body around to flip him on the ground.
"Sorry. I forgot you get jumpy when someone tries to sneak up from behind you." Ryan groaned in pain.
Rosie looked down at Ryan and slowly held her hand out. "Are you okay?" Rosie asked and Ryan gratefully took her hand. They stood by each other awkwardly, Rosie glanced at the bathroom door.
"Um...I need to go to the bathroom." Rosie shrugged until Ryan quickly said, "How are things going for you?"
That question caught Rosie off guard. Instead of leaving Ryan, Rosie stopped and smiled softly.
"Things are going well. Van Kleiss is finally captured and locked up in a secure Providence cell. So that means Ava can finally return home." Rosie whispered.
Ryan could tell things are looking up for Rosie. It seems her life is slowly getting together after they ended their friendship. He honestly felt happy for her.
Rosie asked, "What about you?"
Ryan didn't speak, it almost seems like he was hiding something. But what?
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. Listen, it was great talking to you but I need to get back to the movie. Aaron might notice I'm taking too long." Rosie said and waved bye to Ryan.
He watched her leave and started to sigh quietly.
Weeks Later...
At the porch, Rosie was busy reading through her letter from the college she planned to go next year.
She was starting to look at the dorm rooms options on the college's website with her laptop.
The best option for her is to move into a dorm with a few roommates. That might be the best way to make new friends. The college offered a few new options for the dormitory. The one Rosie wants to move into is a two bedroom quad. She would wear the room with another girl but that didn't bother one bit.
Rosie started to compare the prices of the other dorms when she heard Rebecca call out for her.
"Rosie, we need to go the mall to find your prom dress!" Rebecca said while Rosie closed her laptop and hurried inside the house.
Rosie jogged upstairs and went to set her stuff on her bed. She went to switch her slippers to some comfortable shoes. If they're going to the mall to look for her dress, then it will take a LONG time.
Rosie would need to find the perfect dress, the right shoes, matching jewelry and a matching purse. This could take a few hours but Rosie thinks this might be a fun day.
"Rosie! Mommy said to hurry!" Ava yelled from downstairs and Rosie ran out of her room.
"Coming!"
