The right choice
Pov "Aurora
I get up all in one breath trying to breathe well I struggle to understand where I am I hear something moving behind me then a hoarse voice calms me immediately.
Andy: Calm down it was just a nightmare I feel his arms around my body hugging me and holding me in his embrace.
Andy: you are in my room and I am next to you.
You don't have to worry you are safe, that's why I want you to accept my grandmother's proposal.
You can finally sleep peacefully at night.
I reciprocate the hug by holding his hands and squeezing harder he puts his head on my shoulder
Andy: Please Aceta Aurora we'll be fine He makes me sit back on the bed and close to each other we fall asleep.
In the morning I get up and I am alone in the bed I go to the bathroom I find some changes I take a shower and I dress the bed right and I go downstairs going down the stairs I hear talking in the living room I run immediately as soon as I hear my sister's voice I see her I run I meet and hug him tightly.
Aurora: what are you doing here?
Linda: Andy came to get me
Grandmother: sit down
We sit across from her on the sofa
Grandmother: I have been leased to speak to your sister too and she agreed with my request, it is up to you to decide what you want to do.
I look at my sister has tears in her eyes Linda: I do not want to leave so far from you I will not be able to get by I do not want to leave you alone I will not do it even if you hate me one day I will not abandon you.
He starts to cry I hug him
Aurora: It's okay not to cry
Grandma: okay? Ai decided?
I look at my grandmother and I smile at them she comes to hug me immediately and I return a tear and I hurry to erase it but looking towards the stairs Andy is looking at me seriously and then smiling as he does I return the smile.
Andy: So let's organize this wedding ??? Grandma: I see everything but you will have to do your part !!!
Andy: What do you have to do ??? Grandmother: first go to his house and talk to the father then .... well these hands here must shine you know ???
He takes my hand and shows it to Andy
Andy: no problem there is no rush I'll do it soon I look at the grandmother and the more he does not understand what he means Grandmother: then you will understand dear
Confused that I never look at them as they start laughing and so does my sister
Aurora: what's to laugh about sorry?
Andy: nothing let's go we have something to do your sister accompanies her soon our driver you and I have many things to do.
He takes me by the hand and takes me away from home getting into the car I turn towards him.
Aurora: Did I do well Andy? I mean....
Andy: It's the best choice you could have made you know I was thinking how to blackmail if you said no
Aurora: you are bad
Andy: I have already become like this and so I will perhaps die
Aurora: joke you are not bad you are a wonderful guy and you just show the worst of you that's all. Andy: hmmmm ,,,? If you say so We arrive in front of my school
Aurora: what are we doing here?
Andy: Get off He tells me raising his voice a little I do as he asks me quickly he puts his hand around my waist getting closer to him Andy: come on we go on stage
He makes me walk towards school and is taking me to where everything happened yesterday there is full of people everyone makes room to pass us arriving in the center of all I see my bullies who are on their knees with their heads down as soon as they hear that we have arrived they begin to tremble seriously
Aurora: what's going on here? I squeeze Andy's arm
Andy: well you are all here I must inform you that what you have said is not true at all this girl has not done everything you have said I will tell you more and my girlfriend and in a few days we will get married
As soon as I hear this I get scared I look around and I see him and that he is watching I panic and I start to squeeze Andy's arm tighter.
Pov "Andy
I feel Aurora's nails as they enter my flesh from my arm, I look at her and see her frightened face is shaking and I don't understand why she is looking at someone I have something? I can't read her face and the second time I see her face like that, the first time was when she was attacked by her father but I don't think her father could be here at school.
Andy: from now on, whoever touches my future wife's hair will have to do with me I don't want to hear anything about her and if she needs it you have a duty to help her with respect and I expect it from everyone, not just from them bullies.
President: Andy maybe ....
Andy: and you dear president you will have the task of keeping an eye on everything that happens to them in this school otherwise I will not finance anymore she is your school I was clear enough?
President: yes very clear
Andy: Well now we're leaving I signal to the boys and they start beating up the bullies. Aurora is holding my arm
Aurora: please stop
I hear Aurora's screams I look at her she has tears in her eyes.
Aurora: I don't want all this, you know I hate violence.
Andy: Do you hate violence? How did they do it with you? Let them feel on their own skin what it's like to be inferior to others.
I take her by the hand and try to pull her, she escapes from my grip and, putting herself in the middle, stops everyone at the risk of getting hurt.
Aurora: please stop
Everyone stops except one who continues to beat without listening to him so I no longer see the anger and I punch him I feel myself being taken by the hand and holding it tightly Aurora: enough please
Andy: if she said enough, her orders must be followed who are you to continue? Never allow yourself again and this must be a lesson for everyone.
I get up quickly take her hand and drag her behind me until I hear her complaints and stop shaking hands.
Andy: I'm sorry I'll go slower I'm sorry I turn to her she is crying so I hug him tightly.
Andy: I'm sorry I got angry and I forgot you hurt your foot.
I feel she reciprocates I still feel her trembling but she holds me tight with her thin arms. Just a little hug to look at her face I move them a lock of the hair on her face
Andy: I'm sorry I didn't do it right and that ..... Aurora: promise me not to do more harm because of me I do not deserve all this is not right to get you in trouble for me.
Andy: listen Aurora I already consider you my wife so as they respect me they have to do it with you too whatever it is.
She agrees I take her in my arms
Aurora: no need for ....
Andy: If I pick you up, let's get to the car first In the car and very quiet
Andy: Do you trust me?
Aurora: sure why?
Andy: So why were you shaking at school? She remains silent in the car I turn to her taking her hand in mine.
Andy: look you don't have to be afraid when I'm here so now knowing that you trust me I realized that you weren't afraid near me but have you seen someone who is afraid I will come? Who is it ?
Aurora: a few weeks ago my father agreed to give my hand to someone who has been behind me for years and I know a despicable person well and I have not .... I could say anything to my father do you also know why not?
Andy: so he saw everything he knows you're engaged to me now so ???? ....
Aurora: Sooner or later I had to face my father Andy: Just tell me if he got your consent ??? Aurora: that one there could only have me dead
Andy: I won't touch it until it touches you ok? Aurora: I'll have to prepare for the worst I'm sure he has already informed my father so .... Andy: I won't let them hurt you I'll go with you She looks at me confused
Andy: Do you remember you agreed to marry me so I'll have to inform your father.
I start the engine as soon as we are in her neighborhood I see out of the corner of my eye Aurora shaking her hands and hurting her wounds.
Andy: It's gonna be okay believe me
Aurora: he is not a reasonable person ... my father ...
Andy: I can handle guys like him In front of her house I park the car as soon as we get off a lot of people and already around us I feel the looks on Aurora, her head is bent, I go and take her by the hand.
Andy: I'm with you, let's go inside
As soon as we ring the door she found me in front of her sister bruised crying Aurora runs to her hugging her it's a horrible scene I'm glued in front of the entrance I can't believe what I see.
Aurora: I'm sorry baby what happened?
The sister does not speak and is shaking
The father: here you are finally you have arrived I don't have time that I already
see Aurora on the ground I run to help her to raise her but I feel a hallucinating pain in my head I put my hand to hold my head with all my strength I recover getting up I see blurred her sister crying on the ground and I see Aurora being taken from someone take her out I take a step holding on to the wall I go out three people try to put her in the car I run towards them looking for clips I'm still confused I only hear Aurora's cries for help I see how she struggles against them to escape her desperate screams they break my heart I try to get closer and help her I try but then total darkness.
