Chapter 65: The Hangover From Hell

Aurora's POV:

I wake up with the hangover from hell, no exaggeration. Ali is still asleep on the bed next to me. It's eleven am, and I'm checking through my messages.

There's one from Tallulah, asking if I'm staying at Landon's. She clearly didn't hear me come in last night. Cameron sent a text last night asking about transport to the fundraiser today. He wanted to know if I was going with Landon.

Even my mother has tried calling me, but there's nothing from Landon; nothing at all, not an apology or even a hello.

I think that might be all the answer I need.

It's over.

I look over at my little sister. She's snoring gently; her mouth wide open and her arms flayed across the bed. I had forgotten how much room she likes to take up in bed. I wonder if I can talk her into coming with me to this fundraiser. I wish I hadn't agreed to go at all.

I return my mother's call.

"Hi mum."

"Hello darling."

She's bright and happy sounding.

"You called?"
