Chapter 84 Breakdown

Chapter 84 Breakdown

The next day, Aurora stuck to her hellish routine, and at the end of the day, she was, as usual, using the camp building as support and heading back to her room at night. nOve-lb)1n

Yesterday, when she got to her room after the conversation with Atticus, she regretted what she had said.

'It's not his fault,' she thought. She knew yesterday she was just looking for someone to pour her frustrations on.

She knew deep down that Atticus had nothing to do with the way she's being treated. 'He'll probably not talk to me again,' she thought sadly as she kept struggling to walk.

Just as she got to the same corner she had that interaction with Atticus yesterday, she heard a voice, a voice she was all too familiar with already, "Do you want to keep doing this?"

Her eyes widened. 'He didn't leave,' she thought. She quickly turned and saw Atticus standing there, his piercing blue eyes still maintaining that emotionless gaze.

She clenched her fist and replied, "I don't need your pity. You should mind your business." And just like yesterday, she turned and started walking away.

Atticus again did nothing to stop her and just watched her leave. After she left, he turned and started heading towards his room.

The next day, Aurora made sure to leave very late in order to avoid a certain blue-eyed boy, in case he decided to come again.

But despite her caution, as if on replay, she still heard the same emotionless voice as she was passing by the corner, "Do you want to keep doing this?"

'Shit,' she thought. But this time she didn't even turn to face him. She didn't say anything. She just kept struggling to walk forward, trying to get to her room.

And as usual, Atticus did nothing to stop her.

'He left,' she thought, saddened, while walking towards her room after not seeing him at the corner again.

After that, anytime she was going back to her room, despite realizing that he wasn't coming again, she couldn't help but look around, anticipating his voice anytime she got to the usual corner. But the same thing repeated itself, and she unwillingly left to her room.

And then the days passed. She was walking back to her dorm room, having already accepted that he wasn't coming back, and no amount of anticipation could change this.

As she got to the usual corner, she heard a voice that she had been anticipating for a while, "Do you want to keep doing this?"

Aurora froze. His voice made her feel warm, very warm, despite it being cold.

She quickly turned and saw the usual emotionless gaze he always had.

Seeing him, she didn't know how or why, but tears started streaming out of her eyes like a flood.

Aurora broke down, her legs losing all their strength as she fell, wailing and crying loudly, while wiping her tears with her sleeve, muttering within sobs, "No, I don't want to do this," sniffling her nose,

"I... it hur...t so bad."

Hi everyone,

I apologize if things have been a bit slow or uneventful lately. I wanted to give Aurora some depth because she will be an important character in the future. I tried to keep it as shorrt as possible, so please have mercy on this humble author ????.

On a brighter note, the moment you've been eagerly awaiting, yes, that one ??, is right around the corner. So, stay tuned and anticipate!

Thank you so much for reading. I need golden tickets ??.
