If I Could Turn Back Time
Escape
Aurora's POV:
It literally took no longer than three seconds for Sab to reply to the first text I'd sent her all week. In all honesty though, I wasn't really expecting any less. She's probably been sitting on the edge of her bed all week in anticipation waiting for some kind of response from me. Her and Trent both, but they weren't the only people I was avoiding all week so they shouldn't feel left out.
I can only imagine the burning questions that ran through her mind all week. Like, were we still going to the show or is Aurora even still alive? It's probably a miracle that I am since I haven't been taking any of my medication like I should be but that's another story for another time. All that aside though the bigger issue here was what tonight's near future was ready to throw at me so when Sab replied to the text I sent her asking if we she was still up to going to the gig tonight I wasn't surprised at the 'fuck yes' answer I got in reply. I'm ready to be tonight's bitch, figuratively that is.
When Trent's car pulled up in the driveway in record time I wasn't all too surprised because I knew Sab would have been dragging by the ear out the door the second she saw my name flash on her phone screen. I heard the car doors open and close in unison followed by their heavy footsteps whilst I began to mentally prepare myself to walk out of this bedroom, once and for all. I took one last glance in the mirror at my faded red hair and quickly pulled it into a messy, top knot bun and slid on my cons.
"I'm ready," I chanted to myself building up, what seemed like, some sort of encouragement. It wasn't working very well if I were to tell you the honest truth.
As I began to turn the handle to the door I heard the front door squeak open from my bedroom window as my Mum came to greet my best friend and boyfriend. Without a doubt she would have been taken back by their most random appearance by the door step but I didn't doubt for a second she wouldn't be as surprised as she will be when I walk around the corner and leave the house.
"I'm sorry guys she still hasn't come out of her room and she's not letting anyone in either, you'll just have to give her a little more space," I heard Mum's tired tone through the window as she tried so hardly not to hurt their feelings as she turned them away. Just then I rounded the corner to where they all stood.
All four of them were in sight; Mum, Trent, Sab and last and certainly not least Mike. I tried my hardest not to scoff at the sight of him but it 'accidentally' slipped. Mum's mouth was on the floor and I could literally see her catching bugs in it and Trent's eyes were brighter than the sun when we finally made eye contact. Boy, I hadn't realised how much I'd missed him.
"I'm fine Mum, I'm sleeping at Sab's tonight I just want to get out of here," I tried not to give too much information away but without not giving too much detail so she didn't question my motive. She was probably just happy that I was out of my room so she'd let me go anywhere without a second thought right now.
"Oh uh that's fine I guess it's just me for dinner tonight.." she trailed off as she turned to Mike. I knew it! I knew he was touring with Of Mice and this was the perfect opportunity to make him sill the beans and it seems Sab had the same idea because she opened her mouth before I could even make a sound.
"Wont Mike be home tonight Miss Bennett?" she swayed back and forth on her tippy toes as she tried to innocently question my Mum.
"Oh no he's uh.." Mum desperately stared at Mike begging for him to help with her lies.
"I'm going to the studio with the guys tonight for practice before our show ton- next week," he nearly slipped up and I wasn't the only one who noticed, Sab and I immediately gave each other a knowing look. We knew we had to be careful not to get spotted by any of the guys tonight, especially Mike, because they'll have our butts kicked out of the show before we can even see Austin walk onto the stage.
"Whatever I don't care, I'll be home tomorrow some time," I pulled open the screen door without even a kiss on the cheek for Mum before she could stop me.
"Do you have your medication?!" I just waved off Mum's question with a wave of my hand. I didn't have it but I was doing fine without it all week anyway. What's the worst that could happen.
As the three of us jumped in Trent's car, me in the front seat next to Trent hand in hand, Sab and I couldn't hold in our excitement as we drove down the street on the way to possibly the best or worst night of my life so far. I couldn't believe I was actually doing this. I was lying about going to my biological rockstar Dad's concert. I was finally doing it. God Mum would kill me if she ever found out.
"Oh my god what if they play the most perfect set?" Sab's girly mental breakdowns interrupted my train of thoughts. I was so deep in thought that until now I hadn't realised I let go of Trent's firm grip so I latched back on quickly earning a quick one of his dreamy smiles as he gazed at me from his intense stair on the road as he drove us into the city.
"What if Alan or Mike sees us in the crowd, they'll kick us out?" don't get me wrong I was excited as Sab was for so many reasons but I was never this rebellious and it was making me sick to the stomach. These past two weeks has been a whole new me and I love it but it's so different I didn't know if I could take it. But this is what I wanted right? Change, a good change, the real Rory. Yeah, right, that's definitely wanted. So stop freaking out. God I wish it was that easy. My minds racing and I'm even fucking arguing with myself in my own mind, it's making me insane.
"Stop being so serious Rory just enjoy the gig then worry about the serious stuff," thankfully Sab saved me once again from my pretensions thoughts. She was right, she always is.
"Hey she's allowed to be nervous she's about to meet her Dad at a show she's sneaking to with her step dad there, that's pretty bad ass Sabrina," Trent came to my defence the sweetheart. It made me blush, he was right too, they both were.
"Duh, I know that, I'm also here but are we forgetting Of Mice and Men in my all time favourite bad and this is my only chance to ever see them live, I just want to enjoy the show," she had a point, I'll let her have her fun tonight, she deserves it for helping me this much.
"Fine, sorry I'll worry about all the crazy stuff later. I'm super excited to see Uncle Oli play again!" I tapped my feet excitingly on the car floor.
"You say Uncle Oli so easily like it's nothing how do you not freak out, he's my idol!" Trent was almost nervous.
"You've met him he's normal like us!" I laughed.
"Oh my god guys we're here! We're here!" Sab screamed as she dragged out the last 'e'. Trent and I's conversation was lost in her squeals as we pulled into a parking space and ran eagerly across the road to the venue.
I hope the hour long wait in line in between sweaty emo kids and holding onto dear life to my ticket is worth all the drama that was about to come my way.
