A little swerve

Aurora felt a little relieved after her meeting with Yvette.  Not because she magically solved or her problems,  because now Aurora felt like she could see things from a few different perspectives.  As sad as it sounded she finally realized she really wasn't going crazy, instead she was just lost.  Although not the most comforting feeling for Aurora, it still was better than the thought that she was losing her mind.  The next few weeks went by with little change, except for the fact that Aurora was dealing with her "memories" better.  She even reached out to Danny, although he was still out of town and not due back for another few weeks.  It was still a start.  Aurora felt finally she might be on the right path to getting everything in order and getting her dream life. 

However, this new found peace unfortunately would be cut short.  Aurora got a call from her landlord telling her that he couldn't renew her lease when it's up.  His daughter lost her job and she needed a place to stay, and this is all he had.  Thankfully Aurora had five months left in her lease and he was giving her all of it.  Sadly, there wasn't much available in Riverview that equals what she has now for the amount she pays.  Although this house has flaws it still was entire house all to herself.  Yes it was only a one bedroom, with no storage, a barely eat in kitchen, and a bedroom with no door, but it had a beautiful yard and pool.  Since she was just one it was perfect for her.  Aurora knew she's be lucky to get a one bedroom apartment for close to he amount she pays in rent now.  Aside from this little bump, Aurora had plenty more.  One of the magazines that Aurora did a monthly column for recently announced they would sadly have to shut down due to poor revenue.  Although it wasn't a lot of money, it was still steady money that Aurora would now not be getting.  So now without this income all Aurora had has some money from little freelance jobs she got and her bartending.  Thankfully Patrice the owner of the Juice Bar and the club Neons liked Aurora and needed her help a lot lately.  Bartending these days pretty much was Aurora's main income.  Although she did have some money saved from when she used to model, she didn't want to touch it.  That was always her backup and Aurora never wanted to not have it. 

 

Aside from all this chaos, that little dream life Aurora kept remembering started to seem like it really was just a dream.  Things really started to sway from what she kept seeing.  For starters, her older sister Nina came back into town.  In Aurora's dream life Nina lived off somewhere in California.  Now she not only moved back to Riverview but she became quickly involved with local police chief George Dean.  Which isn't bad, Aurora loves her sister and thinks George seems nice but this wasn't at all what happened in her alternate life.   Another change from her dream was her friend Gina.  Gina ended up married to some guy Aurora had never seen before, however in this world she recently became engaged to Doctor Jebidiah Wilson.  Even though Gina has been dating him for over a year, Aurora always thought in the back of her head that this was just because Gina hadn't met the other guy yet.  That maybe she met him because Aurora met the man from her dreams or vice versa.  So although she was ecstatic for Gina she was a little sad knowing that her theory about how her dream man comes into her life is now busted.  However the biggest blow to Aurora's dream life came when she heard people talking about how someone finally bought that property on Riverblossom Hills Road.  That the new owners planned on building a house there for their family.  

Aurora was nearly heartbroken.  Although she knew deep inside she could never afford that property, let alone buy it and then build on it, she still kept that dream in the back of her head.  Aurora although tried to convince herself that everything she kept feeling and seeing was just dreams, deep inside she always kept the notion alive that they would all come true.  So all that feeling better after Yvette was now crushed.  Aurora felt so stupid.  She knew better.  How could she let herself hold onto something like this?  She knew everything Yvette about how your strong desires can cause vivid dreams was true but she kept holding onto the idea that in her case she really did her future.  That none of it was a fantasy it was all what was awaiting Aurora, and the one thing that kept this dream alive was the fact that the property was always available.  It was like it was just waiting for Aurora to be able to get it.  Which Aurora now realized was ridiculous.  She barely got by and didn't seem to have any prospects or making any sizable amount of money in the near future.  So honestly what was she thinking.  Aurora felt so foolish, why did she do this to herself?  She even first came up with a crazy theory that it was her dream man buying the property and that's how she ended up there.  However that was of course busted when she found out that it was a married couple with two daughters was moving into the apparently giant house that is going to be built.  So once again Aurora found herself feeling totally alone and lost.  She now not only knew her dream life really was just a fantasy but she now literally in a few months had no place to go.
