A Tongue Like a Nightmare That Cut Like a Blade
"Aurora?"
“I’m so sorry for what I did,
I wish that I could fix everything,
I wish that I could have told you that I loved you one last time,
I’m so sorry, Dad,
I know how much of a terrible daughter I am,
Why did I do the things that I did,
I wish that I could erase all of it,
If I could wish for anything,
I’d wish that I hadn’t walked out that door,
Because you’d know how much I love you,
And you might be here with me.
I shed no tears,
In all of these years,
I guess that I’m too ashamed of myself,
I haven’t spoken,
I haven’t broken the silence that I promised myself,
For you.
I’m sorry for all the things that I’ve done.
I’m so sorry for what I did,
I wish that I could fix everything,
I wish that I could have told you that I loved you one last time,
I’m so sorry, Dad,
I know how much of a terrible daughter I am,
Why did I do the things that I did,
I wish that I could erase all of it,
If I could wish for anything,
I’d wish that I hadn’t walked out that door,
Because you’d know how much I love you,
And you might be here with me.
I speak no words,
Or sing like the birds,
In front of anyone because you’re not here,
I can’t forgive myself,
Is it right to forgive oneself when it’s their fault,
Their own father is gone.
I’m sorry for all the things I have done.
Sometimes I wish I was dead,
Wouldn’t it be better
If we were together again,
I can’t get the scene out of my mind,
It’s what I find,
In every place in my head,
Sometimes I wish I was dead.
I’m so sorry for what I did,
I wish that I could fix everything,
I wish that I could have told you that I loved you one last time,
I’m so sorry, Dad,
I know how much of a terrible daughter I am,
Why did I do the things that I did,
I wish that I could erase all of it,
If I could wish for anything,
I’d wish that I hadn’t walked out that door,
Because you’d know how much I love you,
And you might be here with me.
I’m sorry for the things I have done.”
The autumn haired girl stopped singing her song and set the guitar down on the rocking chair. That’s when she noticed the eyes that were looking at her’s. Her eyes became wide, and she back up a little.
“Aurora?” the man tried to say, but he was unable to.
Aurora pushed past him with all of her speed and locked herself in the bathroom . She slipped down the door still she was just crouching there. Her arms covered her face.
How could she let someone hear her voice? She promised her dad that she wouldn’t let anyone hear it. She had tried so hard too. Even though she had been mute for years, this was the first slip up, and she hated herself for it. Aurora knew that she should have stopped writing songs and singing when she thought no one would hear her. If she had, this wouldn’t have happened.
“Aurora. Please come out. Please just talk to me.” Aurora didn’t say anything. She couldn’t. She didn’t want what just happened to happen again. “I know that something’s wrong. Please talk to me. Please, Aurora. You can’t just keep your feelings locked up inside. Trust me. That won’t do you any good. I understand what’s it like. Please talk to me. Please.”
The girl with one green eye and one blue eye did not talk to him. She just stayed the way she was all night long. Aurora didn’t dare exit the bathroom. She wasn’t ready to face him. She didn’t even know what to say. What do you say after something like that happened?
Aurora started to fall asleep very quickly. Before she fell asleep though, she heard one last sentence escape his mouth, “I want you to talk to me and get better because I like you.”
Alex didn’t know what he was going to do with the girl. It was obvious that he was not meant to hear her voice, but why? She was one of the best singers that he had ever heard if not the best. He was even jealous of her vocal chords.
That’s when he remembered the song.
Aurora must have lost her dad, and she blamed herself for it. She must have done something so horrible that she is unable to forgive herself. What? He didn’t know.
Alex’s mission was to get to know her and find out why she didn’t talk. Well, he knew part of it now. However, there is a new reason to learn about her. Alex liked her. He had to make her see that she wasn’t to blame for her mistake. Hopefully, it would be a mistake like that and not something that he would not be able to fix.
He’s new mission was going to be to heal her and get her to start talking again. He was going to fix her just like Jack did to her cousin. Of course, he wasn’t planning on doing it the same way that Jack did. Alex was going to try to get her alone, so he could talk to him. Once he found out what she had done, he would prove to her that she isn’t a bad person and that everything would be ok.
His new mission was going to start the next day.

When I first put my stories up, there was an option when creating a story. I've been asked this before, but when I looked to find it, it wasn't there anymore. As far as I know, they don't have the option anymore. It would be nice if it was there again since this story and another of mine need it, but sadly, it's not there.
