goodbye, roseboro.

Aurora sniffs, running her wrists against her cheeks again to wipe away any tears that have escaped her eyes. Her head tilts so she can see her younger sister, the image only furthering her broken heart. “Hey, it’s okay. I promise. We’re going somewhere better-- somewhere safer, Lex. We’re going to be better than we ever have been. I’ll be right next to you.” She whispers, her arms wrapping around the younger girl with a shaky breath while her eyes study the house in front of them. The one she’s lived in her entire life. The one that was a home to her, once. That was nothing but a ray of light as she ran through the door after a long day of elementary school and found her way into two open pairs of arms.

The same house that quickly became what she saw it as now-- nothing but a distant memory. Something she’d stopped thinking of as a home long ago. But not everything was still a tainted memory; she still had the spot on the porch where she kissed Arsen for the first time, the spot she and Alexis would hide in together when either of them had a bad day. It’s hard letting that go. Now, though, staring down at her beautiful little sister as they stand in front of a nearly packed car, Rory sees that this isn’t a mistake. There is still a spark in her sibling that had diminished in the blonde’s mind much earlier in her life. There is still hope that Lexi can recover from the broken world they’re finally leaving behind. And that is much more than enough reason for Aurora to square her shoulders and turn away from the building, forcing herself not to look back.

Then suddenly they’re driving-- packed between boxes and suitcases and driving. And she’s crying. And a piece of her heart is writhing. And most of her fear is dying. And she’s on her knees, watching the only home she’s ever known disappear in the dust. And she’s reliving her entire existence on these streets as they drive down them, and she’s hearing her child self’s laugh echo through her head.

And they’re still driving, and she’s still crying, as they leave behind the only town she’s ever known. Goodbye Roseboro, you won’t be forgotten.

#OW #bye bye rory. i love you.

#instagram #AHA WATCH ME BE REALLY SAD AND WIMPY ABOUT THIS

#b y e

so im gonna drop aurora. i have no more muse for her at all, and as hard as it is to let go of the character who pulled me back to stonegate after lauren, she just doesnt feel right in my hands anymore. she deserves so much more development than i care to give her, and i truly am heartbroken to make this decision. im keeping my other three girls, and definitely keeping rory’s account. i just wont be keeping her unless i somehow find her again.

lydia-b-jones:

“Do you want to go on a run with me? Wanted to get one in before getting ready for the reunion.”

“I’d love to, actually. I haven’t gone for a run with someone else in so long. I just need to get changed really quick.”

trash-like-ruben:

“Oh my god, can I murder you in your sleep? I’m super jealous. You haven’t aged at all.”

“It’s terrifying to me that looking at you is like looking into the past. Legit fear, dude.”

“I don’t look nearly as young as you still do.”

dexterhays:

The sad thing about having only like one friend when he was in High School s that now, while his wife is out catching up with everyone, he’s kind of just wandering around looking for something to do. Which is how he somehow ended up at Slow Down, sitting in the exact same corner that he used to in High School, with a science textbook. God, he was a fucking nerd.

After not receiving any replies to her text messages, Aurora went straight to the only place she knew she’d always find him. And she was right. Green eyes landing on her husband sitting in the corner, the same one she’d taken him to on their very first date, Rory feels a soft smile find her face as she walks forward and sits by him, her hand falling to his arm and lips pressing a kiss under his ear. Her free hand pulls out her phone, typing in a quick ‘I missed you this morning.’

dexterhays:

He’s about five seconds away from having a heart attack. She’s standing right there ( so wonderful and way, way too out of his league ) but her words are kind and her hands are soft and his heart is beating so quickly he can feel the blood rushing and it’s taking all of his willpower not to do something stupid. He knows these are empty promises ( despite how much he cares for her, relations between high school and college students rarely work out ), but the fact that she doesn’t want to forget him makes him mindblowingly happy. He exhales, giving the girl in front of him a nod and a smile. He pulls the phone back up and types his reply “Like a date?”

Her head tilts as she pretends to consider the boy’s question before scrunching her nose when her eyes drift back to him. “..If you’d like that.” Rory’s smile changes from one to reassurance to hopeful. “But I mean, I get it if you don’t. You’re about to leave, and I wouldn’t want to make you feel obligated to not date girls at your college or anything.” After noticing she’s just rambling now, she runs her hand through her hair with a groan. “I just.. Yes, a date. If that’s alright with you.”

“Please tell me to shut up or something by now because I’m drowning in my own words.”

LOOK ITS MJ AND JASPER BYE

#i saw it on my personal dash and its important ok

dexterhays:

He’s shaking his head, holding up a finger before typing out: “I could never forget you.” and it’s the fucking CHEESIEST thing he’s said in his life ( or one of them; he probably said worse when he was with Dallas, the train wreck that had been), but he shoves the thought out of his mind and bites his lip, trying not to lean into her touch as her hand falls down to her side, already missing the presence on his shoulder.

“Besides, you’ll probably meet some guy while I’m gone and be the one who forgets about me.” he types, his heart clenching as he holds up the device.

The thought of her forgetting about him ( holding another guy’s hand, falling for someone that wasn’t him ) sent knots in his stomach, but Rory was so fucking amazing, it was only a matter of when and who.

A blush turns her face pink at the next words he types, her teeth grazing her bottom lip before an embarrassed laugh has her watching her feet. Until she sees his arm raise again, and her head lifts so she can read the text on the screen. The sentence causes the smile to fade from her face as she reads it, her eyes flickering to him with a disappointed expression. All she can do is shake her head at the suggestion, another small smile attempting to light her features again.

She licks her lips before reaching up to place her hand on top of his, lowering the phone with a quiet sigh. Her hand (the one not still subconsciously holding his) pressing itself against the side of his neck. “Hey, never.” But before the air between them can become too serious, she laughs again. “Uh.. Do you wanna go do something together? Like, just me and you?”

#shes like how do u lowkey ask someone out tho #w/o actually asking

AND WAIT YOUR HAMSTER PEES ON YOU?

IS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER READ TBH

dexterhays:

He’s tempted just turn and run back home, but then there’s a flash of blonde and the librarian has stopped yelling at him (and looks very shocked, so he’s pretty sure that the person in front of him just told her he was deaf), for which he is very grateful. He’s about to give his savior a smile, when they turn around, and of course it’s Rory. She’s always there, golden hair and twinkling eyes. Always exactly what he needs. He nods, and gives her a smile that’s probably a bit too enthusiastic, given the situation. But he can’t help it: Just being around the girl made him light up like a Christmas tree.

Wow, he was pathetic.

He finds himself softening under the touch of her hand on his shoulder, and whips out his phone to type out, “I’m fine. Thank you, Rory, you’re a lifesaver.”

A grin finds her lips when she sees the same appear on his, a relieved sigh leaving her shoulders to fall from their rigid posture. God, something about his smile was contagious enough to not only make her return the gesture, but set her heart beat sky rocketing along with it. Such a sucker she’s become, in such a short time. When she hears the boy’s response, Rory’s hand squeezes his shoulder before falling away from it and (unintentionally, she swears) running down his arm before falling to her side.

“Good. And it’s not a problem at all. Might as well be your princess in a shining short skirt before you head off to college and forget all about me.”
