Chapter 42

Aurora has been looking for her brother for hours since she arrived in California. Once her brother told her the devastating news about her friend, she wasted no time and took the fastest flight out of Chicago to California. She expected to find her brother in the hospital but was not surprised when she arrived and didn't see him there. Aurora knew what happened last time, she knew her brother could not stand to bear it, again. Aurora knew her brother must be going through hell because of what happened to her dear friend. She felt a little guilty about what happened. This is not what she wished to happen when she suggested her brother date, Andrea. Aurora only wanted her brother to be happy again after so many years, it feels like she only scarred her brother more for life.
After searching for him with no result, she finally found him in the one place she never thought to look for him. He was in a gym close to his apartment complex. She would have never thought to search for him there. He was wise in going there to hide.
She walked in and found him punching the life out of the punching bag in front of him. His knuckles were bruised and covered in blood. She couldn’t imagine how long he has been punching the bag.
