I somehow managed to get through an entire shift without once running into the twins.

I finally emerged from the bathroom after pulling myself together and was pleased to find the twins had already left. My pitiful joy was short lived when Cameron handed me a note.

“They wanted me to give this to you.” Cameron frowned, “They didn’t hurt you did they?”

“No.” I shook my head. That was all the answers I was willing to give.

“Good.” Cameron nodded, “Just making sure. Men who hit women are scum.”

“Agreed.” I nodded.

“Here.” Cameron grunted, “Take my phone number in case you need anything.”

After getting over the initial shock of Cameron being nice to me, I looked down at the note in my hands. I waited until Cameron walked away to read the messy scrawl on the paper.

‘Quit avoiding us, Aurora. We need to talk. Alec & Kade’

Of course the simple note had my heart thundering in my chest. Not a chance in h**l would I risk talking to them. I took Grace’s threat seriously, and come this Friday I would be out of town for good. No more confusing twins, no more threatening and psychotic girls. While my life had not been pleasant, I’ve never been assaulted at that magnitude before. Sure, Frank couldn’t keep his hands to himself but with a well placed kick to the b***s he’d leave me alone. I never had someone viciously a****k me the way Grace did, and it definitely left a lasting impression. Everytime I caught a glance at my swollen face, I remembered her words. Her demand was simple, stay away from the twins. As much as my heart pleaded for me to go to them, I wasn’t that stupid. After the damage Grace did on my face, I couldn’t imagine what else she’d do. I fully believed she’d have no problem ending my life. She probably wouldn’t even get caught for my m****r. I’d just rot in the ground, and soon enough the twins would forget about me.
