The night was draped in a blanket of tranquility as Aurora, Becca, and Bella huddled together in Aurora's room, the soft glow of fairy lights casting a warm ambiance. Bowls of popcorn and snacks littered the floor around them as they giggled and shared stories, relishing in the comfort of each other's company.

" ok wait so your saying you might date my brother ! " Aurora shrikes " I mean I'm not surprised iv seen it coming Bella everyone did "

" wait so your not mad " Bella says as she moves her head towards Aurora , Becca smacks that back of Bella's head " Bella ! I am trying to fix your hair !"

" sorry -"

" anyway why would I be mad if u date and all goes well and u get married we're basically sisters "

" that is very true " Bella states " oh my gosh I'm going to miss the both of you !"

" me too !"

" me too !"

As the night draped the room in a velvety darkness, Aurora, Becca, and Bella sat huddled together, their laughter echoing off the walls. It was Aurora's last night before she embarked on her journey for "The Black Phone" filming, and she cherished every moment with her closest friends.

~💋~

It was midnight , Becca and Bella were knocked out in the guest room since they hated how cold Auroras room was

But to be fair it wasn't

Suddenly there was a knock on the window.

Startled, Aurora turned to see Walker's silhouette against the moonlit sky.

"Hey," he whispered, his voice barely audible through the glass.

Aurora's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him, a mixture of surprise and joy flooding her senses. "Walker, what are you doing here?" she asked, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips but she hide it .

"I couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye properly," he replied, his gaze intense as he met her eyes.

Becca and Bella exchanged knowing glances, silently slipping out of the room to give them some privacy.

As Walker climbed through the window, Aurora's heart raced with anticipation. She could feel the weight of their unspoken feelings hanging heavy in the air, the tension between them electric and palpable.

Without a word, Walker closed the distance between them, his lips meeting Aurora's in a soft, tender kiss.

Walker pulled back slightly, his gaze lingering on Aurora's face, searching for any sign of hesitation or uncertainty.

"I've wanted to do that for so long," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper, filled with a mixture of longing and vulnerability.

Aurora's heart fluttered at his words, her cheeks flushing with warmth. "Me too," she confessed, her voice barely more than a breath.

There was a moment of silence between them .

" look Walker -"

" Aurora - "

" you go first "

"Aurora," he began, his voice soft and remorseful, "I'm sorry for how I reacted at the park. I didn't mean to hurt you or make you feel like I was mad at you. I was just... surprised, and I didn't handle it well."

Aurora gently lifted his chin to meet her gaze. "You won't lose me, Walker," she whispered, her voice filled with sincerity. "I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere."

"I wish we had more time," Walker murmured, his fingers gently tracing the curve of Aurora's cheek.

"I do too "

"I wish things were different," he confessed, his voice tinged with sorrow. "I wish we had more time." He leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips.

Aurora nodded, her own emotions mirroring his. "I know," she murmured, her lips meeting his for a fleeting moment. "But we'll make the most of the time we have left, won't we?"

Walker met her gaze, a bittersweet smile tugging at his lips. He leaned in, filling in the space between them. "Of course we will," he agreed, a hint of determination in his voice. "We'll make every moment count." He kissed her longer this time, savoring the closeness.

Once he let go, Aurora pulled him back in.

"Yeah, we will," she whispered.

~💋~

they laid on auroras bed together all cuddled up Walker whispered softly.

"I'm glad you're here with me, Walkie."

Walker shifted closer, "Me too, Rory "

"I," he began, leaning in to press his lips against hers in a tender kiss, "will," another kiss, "miss you," a third kiss. Aurora smiled against his lips.

~💋~

The next morning, Aurora slowly blinked her eyes open, feeling the warmth of the morning sun filtering through her window. As she stirred, she became aware of a weight draped over her, and she turned her head to find Walker snuggled close, his arm draped protectively around her waist. She couldn't help but smile at the sight, feeling a flutter of butterflies in her stomach.

Careful not to disturb him, Aurora reached for her phone on the nightstand, unlocking it with a soft click. With a mischievous grin, she quickly typed out a message to her friends:

The power puff girls

Blossom
Walker came last night he knocked on my window and he's with me rn text u more later

Buttercup
WHAT

~💋~

As Aurora gently placed her phone down on the nightstand, she felt Walker stir beside her. His eyelids fluttered open, revealing sleepy yet contented eyes that met hers with a soft smile.

"Morning," he murmured .

"Morning," Aurora replied, her heart fluttering at the sight of him so close. "Sleep well?"

Walker nodded, his hand reaching out to gently brush a stray strand of hair from her face. "Really good , you?"

Aurora nodded, a soft blush tinting her cheeks as she met his gaze. "Yeah, I slept really well," she admitted, a shy smile playing on her lips.

Just then, the sound of footsteps echoed outside her door, followed by a quiet knock.

"Aurora? Are you awake?" It was Violet

Aurora quickly glanced at Walker, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Yeah, I'm up," she called out, trying to sound casual.

Violet entered the room, her eyes widening in surprise as she noticed Walker lying beside her sister. "Oh, um, sorry. I didn't realize you had company," she stammered, shooting Aurora a knowing look.

"It's okay, Vi," Aurora replied, trying to hide her nerves. "Walker and I were just... talking."

Walker sat up, offering Violet a friendly smile. "Hey, Violet. How's it going?"

Violet returned the smile, albeit hesitantly. "Uh, good. I'm good," she replied, still clearly flustered by the unexpected sight of Walker in her sister's room.

Before she could say anything else, the door burst open, revealing Aidan and Jack .

"Morning, everyone!" Aidan exclaimed, his eyes lighting up when he spotted Walker. "Hey, Walker! What are you doing here?"

Walker chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "Hey, guys. Uh, Aurora and I were just hanging out."

Jack, always the protective older brother, eyed Walker with a hint of suspicion. "Hanging out, huh? It's 10 am in the morning how did you get in here .

" he came at 7 Becca texted him and he's head kay "

Her siblings put there hands up in defense and left without another word .

As Walker started at Aurora , Charlie lingered in the doorway, his expression serious.

"Walker what are you doing here ," he said, his tone firm but not unkind. "She's my sister what'd you want with her "

" look Charlie I'm leaving in a day I'm leaving tomorrow in afternoon cant I see my best friend ?"

With a sigh, Charlie stepped aside, "Just no funny business , okay?" he said, his tone gentle yet firm.

"Okay ," Aurora replied, getting out of bed and giving her brother a quick hug .
