Aurora opened the door to her hometown coffee shop letting the cool air hit her. Even though she lived in good old PA it was still hot as hell in late August. She took a seat at a two person table near the window and began shuffling her feet. Her nerves were getting the best of her as she waited for her boyfriend of 2 years, Robert, to meet her. The fight they had the week before was playing in her mind. They had barely spoken over the last week which was killing Aurora. She knew she'd love Robert from the moment they met. It was an instant attraction, and now here they were two years later. Even though she was only 19 she knew she was in love. It was a feeling she couldn't explain even if she tried. She smiled to herself thinking of the phone conversation they had the previous day when he invited her for coffee.

Flashback:

"Hey sweetie." Robert's voice came softly through the phone. "Are you busy tomorrow?" Aurora smiled even though he couldn't see.

"Nope, we don't go back on the road for a couple of days? Want to get together?' She asked trying to suppress her excitement.

"Yeah, want to go for coffee at the coffee shop downtown?"

"Sure sweetie. I'll see you tomorrow. I love you."

"I love you too hun." They said their good-byes and hung up.

She stood up as Robert walked through the door. He smiled at her grabbing her into a hug and placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Want anything?" He asked with a smile.

"No thanks sweetie, I'm fine." She took a seat and watched as Robert ordered himself a coffee and brought it back over to the table sitting across from her. They leaned in toward each other and he placed one hand on her knee smiling at her. They remained silent for a few moments before he took her hands in his.

"Aurora." He said softly though the smile had left his face. "I don't think we should see each other anymore." Her heart skipped a beat and her body felt red hot for a moment. She jerked her hands away and looked into his eyes.

"Why are you doing this to me?" She asked him, holding off tears as best as she could, telling herself it couldn't be happening. He sighed in frustration.

"I just don't think we fit together."

"How can you say that? You used to always say we were perfect for each other."

"I'm sorry Aurora. I just don't love you anymore." Robert barely looked at her when he said it, but Aurora felt her heart drop.

"Can't we at least talk about this?" She asked desperately.

"I have to get going, I need to drop a check off for my mom." He said still looking at the table. Aurora tried her best to compose herself. "Let me walk you to your car." Aurora didn't say anything she just followed him to her jeep. "I'm sorry it had to happen this way."

"I am too." she said in reply. Robert kissed her softly one last time then made his way back to his own Jeep. He turned around and smiled at her before getting into his car, turning it on, and driving away. Aurora was basically stunned, she didn't know what to say or what to do. As she began driving back towards her mom's house, where she was staying while in town, the tears began to flow freely. How could he do this to her? She thought he loved her. She pulled into her parents driveway, noticing their car gone and made her way inside where she collapsed onto the floor sobbing uncontrollably. As she felt a wave of nausea hit her she ran to the bathroom getting sick several times before laying down on the bathroom floor. She closed her eyes as she began reciting a poem she knew by heart. "I shriek, start up, the same sad prospect find, and wake to all the griefs I left behind." She cried once more silently begging for someone to come home.

8 months later.

Aurora sat backstage waiting for a special RAW to begin. Superstars from not only RAW, but Smackdown, and ECW were all on the show tonight. A special three hour show and Aurora had a match against Victoria and she was more excited than she could express. Victoria was an amazing dominant Diva, and it would be an honor stepping in the ring with her. She heard a knock at her door and sighed as she got up from her comfortable couch and made her way over to the door, she opened it slowly.

"Hey girly!" Chris Irvine, better known to his fans as Chris Jericho, said with a huge grin plastered on his face. Aurora smiled opening the door wider to let him in.

"How have you been Chris?" She asked giving him a hug.

"Oh, you know me, rocking and rolling." He said sitting on her couch.

"Please... sit down..." She said with a smirk. "How's Jess doing?"

"Oh, she's busy as ever with the twins." He smiled thinking of his wife and family.

"So, I take it Ash and the twins are doing well?"

"Yeah, bad as ever, but Ash is turning out to be just like his daddy." Chris said with a proud smile.

"Oh God, help us!" Aurora said sitting next to him, and giving him a playful smile.

"So how are you doing sweetie? Jess and I have been pretty worried about you." His face was suddenly serious.

"Don't worry about me Chris, I'm going to be fine." Aurora said with a sigh. She was appreciative that he cared so much about her, but he didn't have anything to be worried about.

"Rose you should start dating again." He said with a nod. Aurora smiled at his nickname for her, another play on the Disney film "Sleeping Beauty" when the main character was called Bryer Rose, for a time. Aurora's ring name was Beauty.

"I don't know Chris..."

"Come on, there are a lot of single guys around here." He said pushing the subject. Aurora sighed.

"You're not going to give this up are you?" She asked leaning back against the couch.

"No way in hell. Rose, I know Robert broke you're heart, but sweetie it's time to move on."

"I... I don't want to get hurt again." She said finally revealing her fears. "I don't want to fall in love again just to have it backfire in my face." Chris put his arm around her and pulled her towards him, she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I promise you, you'll find someone who won't treat you like he did." Aurora smiled at her best friend before there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" she shouted sitting up.

"Beauty, 5 minutes..." One of the techs said with a blush in his cheeks.

"Thanks." Aurora said standing up walking over to her gym bag and pulling out her knee pads.

"You ready?" Chris asked with a smirk.

"Oh you know it!" Aurora screamed pumping herself up. She made her way to the curtain and she saw the younger Hardy brother Jeff coming back from his match.

"Hey-ya Hardy!" Aurora said with a smile.

"Hello darlin'!" He smiled back brightly.

"What kind of match were you in tonight?" She asked while stretching.

"Tag team. Matt and I against Gregory Helms and Shannon Moore." He said pumping his fists into the air. "Felt just like home."

"Damn straight it did!" A guy yelled from behind him. He had shorter brown hair and brown eyes. She knew him from watching Smackdown, Shane Helms. "And who do we have here?" He said with a sincere smile towards Aurora.

"Shane, this is Aurora, Aurora this is Shane Helms." She shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you." Aurora said with a smile.

"You t..." Before he could finished he was tackled by someone who Aurora instantly recognized as the eldest Hardy brother. They bantered back and forth for a few moments. "Ah, and this is Matt Hardy!" He said pushing the man off of him.

"Hi Aurora, or should I call you Beauty?" He asked taking her hand.

"Aurora's perfectly fine." She smiled at him. "Well boys, I'm sure my music is starting any minute so..."

"Wait a sec. You have to meet Shan too." Jeff said looking around.

"Who?" Aurora asked to no one in particular.

"I think he means me." A voice said from behind her. She turned to meet a pair of amazing blue eyes and the most beautiful smile she'd ever seen. He was shorter than the other guys, but that didn't matter, considering Aurora was only 5'4". Beautiful tattoo's covered his body and his blonde hair fell down into his face. For a moment she just stared at him, but she quickly came back to her senses.

"Hi, I'm Aurora Barnes." She said holding out her hand which he accepted.

"I'm Shannon Moore." He said with another smile that almost made her go weak. She heard Victoria's music play and she quickly let go of his hand, which she was still holding.

"Oops, better get a move on. It was nice meeting you guys." She said walking quickly towards the techs. She didn't see Shannon Moore blushing behind her.

"Shan, something you want to tell us?" Jeff asked with a smirk.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Jeffers." Shannon said avoiding his gaze.

"You know she's single." Jeff said egging Shannon on.

"She is?" Matt asked his eye brows raised.

"Yeah, she..."

"Shut up guys." Shannon said walking off towards the locker rooms.

"He like her?" Shane asked consulting his two friends.

"Oh yeah." Jeff said smirking.

"Without a doubt." Matt agreed and the three friends followed the young Shannon Moore to the locker rooms.
