Chapter Six
A/N: So you know they moved right after school ended. Plus, I know this sounds wierd, but Jenny wasn't allowed to start kindergarten until a year later so she'll be going into her senior year and the triplets skipped a year so they'll be Juniors. And I do not own 'Once upon a broken heart' by the Beu Sisters in any way.
That day was massive chaos spent trying un clutter the boxes they had brought and with ten people find who's stuff is who's can be quiet a task.
Surprisingly by five that afternoon is had settled but the kids had gotten restless and were begging to explore this new town.
Jake and Peyton finally consented.
"There should be a basketball court not too far from here. But everyone goes." Jake said, "I don't want you gone for too long. Your mom and I are going to get some groceries and stuff for dinner tonight"
Soon, the eight kids had found the river court and were in an intense four on four game when Aurora decided she was bored, picked up her guitar (which she rarely left at home), and headed away from the court.
"Where do you think you're going?" Jenny called after her sister.
"I'm just going to look around. See what else there is to do. It's not like I'm going be gone for ages." She laughed at Jenny's concern and continued on her way.
Soon, a sign announcing open mic night at the local cafe caught her eye so she decided it might be fun to check it out. As she arrived a lady who looke about the same age as her parents was announcing that the mic was now open and then headed to behind the counter.
Two people went up and did their thing then Aurora decided to give it a shot.
ACROSS THE ROOM (so you know Haley and Karen run the cafe. Deb moved away to bigger and brighter things but was in constant contact)
Roman Scott was sitting at the counter listening to his best friend (and uncle) Milo go on about what the two of them were going to do over summer break.
Roman was a tall dirty blonde basketball star of his high school taking very much after his dad, the famous Lucas Scott, but Roman played soley for the love of the game. And unlike his dad he refused to hook up with any cheerleaders. No offense to his mother-he loved her. But he didn't want to get to deep with anyone fearing heartbreak of either him or her, whoever she maybe.
"Earth to Roman," His aunt and grandmother had come from out of the back and had leaned to talk to him. However they were interuppted by Schuller.
"Looks like we got someone new here. I've never seen her before." She said referring to the curly top brunette who had just stepped up to the mic.
Roman turned his full attention to her. He didn't notice the odd looks that came upon the faces of either his grandma or aunt. He didn't notice to when Karen swept Haley to the back or that they had absently told the three to man the counter.
All he heard was the song she was singing. He recognized it as song he himself liked (though never admitted it) It was a song about 17 yrs old called 'Once Upon a Broken Heart' by the Beu Sister and had been played at his parents wedding. Only the version this girl was sing was adapted to guitar.
(Aurora singing)
"Once upon a broken Heart,
I was walking alone in the dark Looking for a way to start again What I wouldn't do for a friend There was no love in my life There was no light in my eyes All the tears that I had cried and cried Seemed like they'd never end
And I never believed fairy tales came true But now I know that they really do Now that I found you Now that I'm here with you Just look at the sun shining You showed me a world I'd never seen I woke up and fell into this dream Happily ever after just took time Once upon this broken heart of mine
Long ago and far away I could never dream of the day That your love would come my way and stay And sweep me away
And I never believed fairy tales came true But now I know that they really do Now that I found you Now that I'm here with you Just look at the sun shining You showed me a world I'd never seen I woke up and fell into this dream Happily ever after just took time Once upon this broken heart of mine
This is the way a fairy tale feels.
This is the way I know its real Cos this is they way a broken heart heals
And I never believed fairy tales came true But now I know that they really do Now that I found you Now that I'm here with you Just look at the sun shining You showed me a world I'd never seen I woke up and fell into this dream Happily ever after just took time Once upon this broken heart of mine"
The girl put her guitar back into it's case then head out the door.
In THe BACK
Karen and Haley stared at each other still comprehending the girl. She looked just like him. Them really.
Finally Karen asked, "That couldn't have been? They left so long ago. They wouldn't come back."
"I don't know she looked about 15 or 16. Then it might just be a some kid at the high school with no connection. Let's just go ask the kids."
They headed out to find Milo and Schuller talking.
Karen asked "Hey did you guys know that girl who just sang."
Milo laughed, "No we don't but Roman might by now."
"What's that supposed to mean."
"He just went after her."
