It had been a week since Aurora had stood up to Mr. Myers and he threatened her. One night Aurora was eating dinner with her family when her brother brought up school.

"Well Rory, how's school going?" Aurora's brother Jason asked her. Aurora looked at him and pushed her salad around on the plate.

"It's going okay, I guess." Aurora replied.

"Just okay? I thought you loved school." Her mother said leaning up.

"I don't think my teacher likes me." Aurora stated.

"Oh he likes you, you just have to do more of what he asks honey." Her mother responded.

"But you have no idea what he's asking mom." Aurora thought.

"Do you think we could talk to the principal and get me put in another class?" Aurora asked.

"Come on Rory; don't give up so easily with a difficult teacher. Who do you have?" Jason asked.

"Mr. Myers." Aurora replied looking at him. Jason choked on the bite of his steak.

"What's wrong Jason?" Their dad asked him.

"Nothing. My food just went down the wrong way." Jason replied.

"Well then, can we please get on with our dinner? Aurora is not switching classes, end of story." Their dad stated and that was the end of that. Aurora finished her dinner in silence and then went upstairs letting Jason and their mother do the dishes that night. She had just sat down with her algebra book when there was a knock at her door.

"Come in!" Aurora said without looking up for her notebook. Jason walked in and sat on her bed, next to the desk.

"Rory, I need an honest answer; has Mr. Myers tried anything with you?" Jason questioned. Aurora stared at him for a minute.

"Yeah." Aurora said weakly after a minute or so.

"What? Did he hurt you?" Jason asked.

"No. I stood up to him and he told me if I told mom and dad that I wouldn't live to regret it." Aurora replied.

"Well I'm not mom; we are going to do something about it. I am going to the University of Houston, in Houston, Texas as you know. Apparently Mr. Myers used to teach there and there was a really large case a few years ago." Jason said.

"I can't believe I was so stupid I didn't see through all this." Aurora stated. She had started crying. Jason walked over to her.

"You aren't stupid. This is just a really bad man. You and I are going to talk to the police tomorrow and we are going to file a report." Jason said.

"I… I can't do that. He told me I wouldn't live to regret it." Aurora stated.

"Don't worry about that Rory. We will find you a place to hide. I am not going to let anybody hurt you. You're my little sister Rory, I love you." Jason responded.
