Chapter 2- Old Friends
Aurora and Jesse arrived at Dawn at 10:00 P.M. They decided to bring their friend and Mutant X teammate Emma DeLauro with them. They could tell that Emma was still upset about Tyler's death at the Wycoff Chemical Plant. Aurora and Jesse hoped to cheer her up.
They all showed the bouncer in front of the club their ids and entered the club. By now, the club was full of people dancing to the loud music booming through the building.
"Aurora!" someone called.
Aurora looked over and saw her friend Gabriel Masters standing at a table waving to get her attention. His date at his side. Aurora, Emma, and Jesse walked over to the table.
"Hey Gabe," said Aurora.
"Hey guys, I'd like you to meet Carla Johnson. Carla, this is Emma DeLauro, Jesse Kilmartin, and my best friend Aurora Mulwray."
"Hi," Carla said shyly.
"Nice to meet you," said Emma.
"Okay, now that we've got the introductions out of the way, lets get some drinks," said Aurora.
"Got it covered," said someone behind Aurora. Aurora knew that voice anywhere. She turned and saw a guy she thought she'd never see again.
"Luke?" said Aurora.
"Hi Aurora," he replied as he smiled at her while trying to hold four drinks at once. He placed them on the table they were sitting at.
"Who are you?" Jesse asked suspiciously.
"This is Luke Christianson. He's Gabriel's cousin." And my ex-boyfriend, Aurora thought, feeling awkward with Luke being there.
Luke was different from his cousin. You couldn't tell they were related by looking at them. Gabriel was skinny with slightly pale skin. He had brown eyes and black hair that was always in his face. Luke on the other hand was taller, muscular and tan. He had blue eyes and short brown spiked hair.
"I though you were going to college in Europe," said Aurora.
"I am. I thought it would be nice to visit my cousin since I haven't seen him in a while. I was going to visit Gabriel months ago but I was unable to."
"Yeah, I know."
Emma looked at Aurora and could sense how uncomfortable she was. Emma picked up one of the drinks and swallowed it.
Aurora turned to Gabriel. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him away from the table. "Why didn't you tell me that Luke was in town?"
"He arrived this morning and I was unable to reach you. Your phone was off. It's not like I could just come over to your place and tell you. I don't even know where you live."
"Don't go there please. Great, just great," she said sarcastically as she and Gabriel walked back to the table.
When she walked back to the table, everyone was talking as they drank except fro Emma. She wasn't at the table. Aurora looked onto the dance floor and saw her dancing with some hot guy she met. Luke handed Aurora a drink. She took it and swallowed it in one big gulp.
"Shall we dance?" Jesse asked.
"I'd love to," Aurora answered. Jesse took her by the hand and headed for the dance floor.
