Sorry it's been so long since I updated this. I had real serious writers block with this. Finally, I broke through and found a way to continue. YAY!

The rest of the car ride was more painful than Alan ever thought it could be. Afterhe had told her he didn't want to talk, Aurora shifted in her seat, her back turned towards him.
Truthfully, he did want to talk and he wanted to talk right then and there. The problem was that he was afraid of what she would say. He knew he probably wouldn't like it and things would end in a worse argument than when they broke up. There were things he wanted to say too, but he knew they would start a problem too.
When they finally pulled into the driveway, Aurora was the first one out of the car. As Dad pulled the luggage from the trunk, Aurora stood beside the car. Alan knew that she was now officially ignoring his existence. It was fine with him. It gave him a chance to think of what he would say. He knew they'd talk at some point if his Dad had anything to do with it. Until then, he'd have to decide what to say and how.
When his luggage was finally free, he snatched it up and made his way inside. Josh joined him on the porch. "What happened between you two? The way you're both acting, it had to be really bad."
"Josh, I don't want to talk about it right now." Alan forced the key into the lock and shoved the door open. "Besides, why would I tell you?"
Josh shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. I mean, honestly? I just wanna know what happened. I'm a little lost." Josh dropped his bags on the tile in the front hallway. "She seems pissed, man?"
"Dp you think I can't tell that?" Alan stopped walking, bags still in hand. "Part of the problem is she wanted to break-up. But, every reason she gave was a lie, and I know that. I know the truth. She just won't admit it."
"That's rough, man." Josh shook his head.
Ignoring him, Alan just nodded.
Josh grabbed his bag and followed behind him. "So, when are you going to talk to her about it? I mean, I think you should hear the truth from her. You might feel better."
Stopping, Alan took a deep breath. As much as Josh annoyed him, he was right. Alan did need to hear it. He knew the truth since that day. Still, it didn't make him feel better. It hadn't come from her. That's what he needed.

"Aurora," Dr. Hyatt pulled her luggage out of the trunk as he watched Alan stomp into the house. "you really do need to talk to him. I think it's important."
Shaking her head, Aurora leaned against the car. "I tried, Sir. You heard what he said. He doesn't want to talk about it now. I probably should just leave him alone. Maybe go stay at a hotel or something."
"That's not true." Dr. Hyatt stood next to her. "It's the best thing for both of you. I hate seeing you two like this. You guys belong together." He fiddled with the car keys in his hands.
"Well, I don't see that happening." Aurora walked around and grabbed her luggage. "Maybe if I had just come out and said what I had to when I had the chance, this wouldn't be happening."
She carried her bags through the door. Placing them down, she looked around. Memories flooded her head as she did. All the movie nights they had on the couch. All the take-out dinners they ate in the kitchen. She let out a small laugh, remembering. She'd always have the memories. It was the real thing that wouldn't be there anymore.
