We weren't a love story, our story wasn't some romance novel that would be turned into a movie, we were best friends with a history.
We were best friends because I was the only one she trusted. She would only talk to me, she would only open up to me, she would only let down her walls with me. No one else. She was Aurora Stein.
I was Benjamin Alexander, the boy who Aurora would hang out with, the boy who would protect Aurora from anything, the boy who saw a loud, creative girl where people saw a shy, stupid one. Why? Because that's what best friends do.
The two of us came from similar backgrounds, a brother, that made up most of our family, two working parents who didn't have much time to spend with their kids, but they still gave us everything we 'wanted'.
We were always seen together walking around town or doing the dumbest things in the park. The small town that we lived in gave us the nickname Beauty and the Beast, which was quite offending on my end of the stick. I don't see why it wasn't Sleeping Beauty and That Other Guy, though... I mean her name was Aurora.
The name was given to us because she had brown hair and was always seen with a book and I was always trying to protect her, and I took her safety very seriously, making me almost beastly.
She put her full trust and love in me, I didn't want to let her down. Never in a million years. She always told me to keep smiling, always did cute things to remind me of that every single day. I wouldn't change my life, even if there are ups and downs. All I need is Aurora Stein to conquer the world.
