AURORA'S POV:
Arc and I came back to the hotel a few minutes ago. Jon will probably come later. I'm not in the mental space to listen to his mother or even ... see her.
The key card clicks in the lock, and I push open the door to the room I share with Cali, Celeste, and a girl whose name I don't even bother remembering.
I step inside. They're lounging everywhere, on the beds, by the vanity, laughing about something shallow and stupid.
Celeste spots me instantly. Her gaze snags on mine, sharp and mean, the way it always is. Like she’s waiting for me to trip again so she can feast on the wreckage.
"Well, well," she drawls, voice dripping with sugar and venom. "Back already? Was it too much for the little stray?"
I don't have the strength for this. I'm aching to just sleep at this point
