Chapter twelve

AURORA:

I’ve never been this nervous before. I could feel my heart thumping so hard, so fast, and out of my control. It felt as if their eyes or gaze would kill me. I had almost wished for the ground to open up and swallow me when the car halted right in front of the building and I couldn’t get my thoughts straight until I felt his hand in mine,

“Are you ready?”

I nodded my head and then stepped out of the car as soon as the door was opened. As we both began walking together, I heard his voice again “Take a deep breath aurora, no one’s going to hurt you.”

We got to the entrance and I was shocked at the kind of people present at the occasion. Maybe for a moment, I had forgotten the man my hands were intertwined with. I had forgotten it was Ethan Thompson standing next to me.

“Are you ready to take the spotlight?” He questioned, and just before I could give a response, I cocked my head towards my left and my gaze met with that of Jackson. for a moment, I was lost staring at his eyes.
