"Why the fuck would you do this to me, Aurora?" Alex cried out, trying to pick his friend up off of her bed. There was too much blood this time. There was no way he was going to be able to save her like he had time and time again. Strains of long, flat red hair fell over Aurora's pale face. She looked as though she was at peace in her sleep, but Alex knew better than that. Her arms dangled lifelessly as Alex carried her to the bathroom next door and set her down. "You gotta wake up for me, okay Princess?" Tears ran down his face, he was a blubbering fool trying to save this girl as he sat both himself and her in the porcelain bathtub and turned the shower on as cold as the water would go. "Wake up!" Alex banged his fist violently onto the wall next to him and started to shake her with his other arm. Maybe this is completely fucking hopeless, he thought to himself, but couldn't let his mind go any further than trying to save the girl. "Come on, Princess." As Alex sat behind Aurora, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders and squeezed while his head collapsed on top of hers.

"Al." Aurora's voice was cracked and sounded chalky. Alex exhaled once he heard her voice say one tiny syllable.

"Princess, keep talking." Alex urged her, but had yet to turn the water off despite both of their bodies were shaking from the freezing water that was spewing down from above.

"I'm so sorry," Aurora cried out, signaling that she was in an immense amount of pain both physically and mentally. Alex kissed the top of Aurora's head and let shamelessly let his tears keep falling. Aurora used what energy she had left to lift her frail hand and place it on his. "I'm sorry," she said one more time, hoping that her friend would believe her.

"Don't you ever do that to me again, Aurora!" Alex screamed at her. Too many emotions were left pumping through Alex's blood that he couldn't control anything he was doing or saying. His breathing had sped up because of the anger that he felt towards her and the situation and he started to clench his jaw without hesitation. "It's not fucking fair to me and it's not fucking fair to anyone else!" Alex tightened his grip that he had around Aurora's shoulders and intertwined his fingers with hers. Finally he let his breathing slow down and he shook his head. The boy was heavily exhausted from everything that had happened in the last twenty-five minutes. It started with a phone call and it ended with the two in a bathtub that was chilling them to the bone. Finally, Alex stood up and stepped out to get towels for the both of them. Alex picked up her tiny body and wrapped the towel around her and seated her on his lap. Aurora cradled Alex's cheek with her hand and stroked his face, trying to smile as if nothing had happened. "You have to promise me this won't happen again, Aurora." The teenager said sternly through his grit teeth, but no answer came his way. "Goddammit, fucking promise me that, at least." There was no anger in his voice, only worry and sorrow.

"Okay." Aurora's voice was less than a whisper and she eventually hung her head in shame.
