Michael drove away from Aurora's old apartment; this is a very strange situation He thought to himself as he risked a glance at the silent Aurora.
Aurora was silent; she didn't know what to think. Her parents loved her she understood that, but why were they continuing trying to find her? When she had told them this is what she wanted to do. She just didn't understand.
"You ok?" Michael finally asked
"Not really" Aurora admitted quietly
"Come on it isn't that bad"
"Yes it is, I can't believe them, everything was in my apartment, my school ID's and my club ID and there is probably something to link me to the theater there. I just don't understand how they found me"
"You can't hide forever Aurora"
"I know, but I want to"
Michael reached over and put his hand on her thigh and gave it a comforting squeeze. Aurora placed her hand over his and smiled.
"You are staying with me" Michael said finally
"Thank you" Aurora didn't bother arguing, it never worked anyway.
"You know you are going to have to go and talk to them soon" Michael finally said
"I know, but just not now"
"Soon" Aurora nodded and they traveled to Michael's apartment
+-+
Aurora and Michael went straight back to his place instead of going out.
"I can't believe it all my clothes, university books and possessions were in my apartment. I don't have anything anymore" Aurora said pacing the length of the apartment
"Don't worry, we will figure it out" Michael stood up and moved in to Aurora's way so she had to stop.
"I don't know how you can be so positive"
"Well I think there are some positives about you loosing everything" Aurora frowned, trying to think of some positives herself
"I can't think of any" Michael smirked and walked around behind her, pulling her backwards so her back was pressed against her chest.
"I now get to spend even more time with you, because you're going to be living here with me and I don't have to share you with university anymore" Michael said as he pressed his lips to her neck and made her tremble.
"Ok they are positives, but my clothes-
"We will sort that out tomorrow and get you some basic things, it isn't a total loss, and it just means when you talk to your parents you get everything back" Michael said kissing her neck again, smirking when she moved her neck back to give him better access.
Finally when Aurora couldn't stand the torment any more, she turned around within the space of Michaels arms and pulled him down to kiss him full on the lips.
Michael put his arms around her waist and pulled her right up against him, lifting her off the ground so he didn't have to lean down; Aurora in turn wrapped her legs around his waist.
Michael walked backwards turning around so that Aurora was now pressed against the wall and him deepening the kiss as he did so.
Soon things were getting serious and Michael with great difficulty pulled back to look at Aurora;
Her hair had fallen free of the plait and was hanging loose and attractively over her shoulder, her face was flushed and her eyes sparkled with love and her lips were red, making her look well kissed. She looked absolutely beautiful.
"We should stop" He said finally finding his voice
"I don't want to" Aurora said in a breathless voice
"If we don't I won't be able to" Michael admitted
"Then don't" Aurora said pulling Michael back to her.
There wasn't anything more to say, as they worked there way to the bedroom.

Aurora and Michael were dozing in bed together, when Aurora suddenly looked at the clock. It was 8:30, she swore quietly and careful so as not to wake Michael slipped out of bed and slipped in to one of his shirts and tip toed to have a shower and get ready for dancing tonight.
Half an hour later Aurora stepped out of the shower and dried herself off, remembering all her belongings were in the lounge room, she wrapped a towel around herself and stepped back in to the bed room.
Aurora gazed at Michael who was still sleeping peacefully where she left him as she walked out to of the room. Once she was dressed in a button down top and a pair of old jeans she walked back through the bedroom and in to the bathroom to blow-dry her hair.
Aurora was just brushing her hair and putting it up using a clip when Michael walked in. wearing a pair of jeans and a funny expression.
"Where are you off to" He asked quietly coming up behind her so she could see him in the reflection of the mirror.
"The club, it's Saturday"
"I thought you were going to quit that?" Michael said picking up her brush any playing with it. Aurora watched him closely; he was leaning back against the wall playing with her brush, which even if he didn't know it showed off his well formed figure to the best of advantage. He looked hot!
"I never said I was, I need the money for the moment" Aurora said trying to focus on fixing her hair instead of Michael.
"The theater pays enough and you don't have to worry about paying rent anymore"
"I am going to give you money to put towards everything it's only fair"
"You don't have to"
"No but I want to, ok" Aurora said turning around to face him "I don't want to fight with you, but I want to have a choice, otherwise I am just right back where I started"
"I know, and I'm sorry, but your ID was there, what if they look there for you"
"I thought you wanted me to talk to them"
"I do, but on your terms not theirs. It might be worse if they find you rather than you go yourself"
"I'm not ready just yet" Aurora said quietly "But I promise I will go and see them soon"
"What if they are there tonight?"
"Well I just hope luck is on my side"

Two weeks on and Michael and Aurora had settled in living together quite comfortably.
"I love waking up next to him every morning" Aurora told Sara quietly while warming up. Sara smiled knowingly
"Any sign of your parents" She asked, Aurora just shook her head.
"Michael keeps telling me to go and see them, saying I am only making it worse, and I know he is right I just don't want to face him"
Aurora and Sara didn't get a chance to talk after that because they began practicing the Hannibal dance.
Tyra was still being un-reasonable towards Aurora; it was actually quite funny when you thought about it, like being back in grade school. She was trying to put Aurora off singing by distracting her as well as her many attempts to trip her…
Tyra was out the front singing and the plan was for the girls to dance in front of her then loop around behind her at the end of the dance. One such time tyra, who was holding a stick and she stuck it out and Aurora tripped over it. She fell down on to her left wrist hard.
Cursing Aurora sat up as the music was stopped and everyone checked to see if she was ok.
"I just twisted my wrist, I'm ok" Aurora said while she glared at Tyra who was looking smug
"I'll go and get Michael" one of the dancers said before she scurried away.
"Unless my mind is fuzzy, Tyra didn't need her stick for this scene" Sara said standing up and ripping the stick out of Tyra's hand and chucking it across the room "You tripped her on purpose"
"Don't be so dramatic Sara" Tyra said calmly, although looking slightly worried
"Tyra you did trip me, and I don't care if you admit it or not, I will still be performing so no need to worry" Aurora said smiling sweetly.
Then Michael arrived
"You ok babe" he asked quietly crouching down beside her
"I'll be fine no need to fuss" Aurora said as she let Michael move her wrist to check for breaks and winched when he arched it slightly.
"We should go and get you checked out by a doctor" Aurora nodded and let Michael pull her to her feet and lead her out.
