2024-10-29 19:42:56When the group had returned, Casey had long returned to his room, he was not sure if Ava was still down by the pool but he would have guessed that she returned to her room once the place began to get noisy again. They did not talk for too long and when Casey had gone back up, he had fallen asleep pretty easily. It was only when Klaire woke him up, that he became aware of everything going on.
“Are you feeling more rested now?” Klaire asked him, as she was laid on the other side of the bed.
Casey groaned in response and Klaire smiled at him. “We went down to the beach and ate a lot of food. There are so many tourists here so it took a while to do the things we wanted. When it’s just the two of us, I want us to take a boat trip somewhere, obviously nowhere too far but still.”
Casey smiled. “Sure, that doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Do you want to go down and get

Ava smiled at Klaire as she sat back down in the room. It was the only room they could get that was away from the noise and somewhat like an office. There were couches and a coffee table, but everything looked tropical. The coffee table was literally made out of bamboo and there were various paintings on the walls of coconut trees and flowers and all colorful things of a sort.Klaire returned her smile with an awkward laugh. She crossed her ankles and leaned back into the couch. There were a few moments of silence and Ava knew that it was her job to move past it all and put on a brave face. Besides, she was over what Klaire had done. Mostly.“Alright. It seems like forever since we had one of these sessions huh?” Ava chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.“Yeah… it’s been a while.” Klaire nodded.“So I think we should just get the rough stuff out of the way first.

To say that Ava had not known peace since meeting Casey and Klaire would be an understatement. She did not know why in her mind, she imagined ever getting moments of peace when she was around Klaire and Casey. She guessed it was because of Klaire's change of behaviour that she had some hope. But as always, it was a problem that was obviously the fault of Klaire. It was actually about her change of behavior. Or, lack thereof, she would say.It was the day after Ava came to her epiphany about Klaire’s behavior. She was spending the day making calls and doing research on the best ways to try and help Klaire. In the past, she had dealt with people who had similar problems but never to the degree that Klaire had it. Ava concluded that it was because Klaire was so famous that it definitely changed the way her brain functioned and differentiated her from the other patients she had.Ava was using the office space she was given by the hotel.

“I’m calling off the wedding.”That was the first thing that Casey said as soon as the door closed and Ava braced herself for the hell-storm that would follow. She was not facing them and wished she could remain so. Ava had never dealt with a couple as problematic as this one. Toxic was not the word she would have used in the past but Klaire’s actions were borderline toxic. She manipulated Casey in order to get him to stay with her. Ava was not aware if it happened in the past but she did not want to assume and so she never brought the relationship to toxic. But problematic was the word she would use to describe their relationship in a heartbeat.“WHAT?!”Ava didn’t even flinch because she knew it was coming. When she sat on the couch and finally faced them, the two were standing opposite each other, heated expressions on both of their faces. But Klaire looked like she was seconds

Ava went looking for Casey, on the second day. She had not seen him at all since their conversation with Klaire and it seemed like neither did anyone else. He could have left the hotel or even the country for all they knew. She had asked the staff if they had seen him but got negative answers from all. There were a lot of empty rooms in the hotel since the guests took up around a third of the space.Two days was long enough to calm down and think things through properly. But with a situation as complicated and dense as this, Ava wondered if he would need more time. But all the times in the past when he was willing to break up with Klaire should help with his decision-making. It would take some time if this were a new thing. If Klaire and Casey had a normal relationship for all the time they were together and then he just found out that she was a fake person, then that would take a while to process, but since it was no news that Klaire was not the best pers

To say that Casey was feeling vulnerable would be an understatement. He had been in pain for the past two days. He knew that he would leave Klaire in the end. He knew that and yet, he still could not come to terms with it. He had used the time Ava had given him to try and accept the fact that he was leaving Klaire for good. The internet in all its glossary was what he used to try and persuade himself against giving up and staying with her. All the comments of people calling her a horrible person, and telling Casey that he is foolish for staying with her and that she is just destroying his happiness, was what he relied on. Even though he knew all of this already. In the time he took, he was sure that Klaire was looking for him, but he had requested that he stay in a little room which the staff used to rest. He knew that if Klaire had found him then he may be swayed or may react in a way that was not very nice. He was furious but he was al

Casey had Ava and Klaire in one shot. Klaire was by the pool, seemingly unbothered and problem-free, hanging out with her friends, laughing and whatnot, and Ava was sitting inside the lounge, scrolling on her phone, seemingly unbothered as well. They had not noticed him yet and while he was building up the courage to go and talk to them, someone spotted him from his hiding place behind a corner and very loudly, called him out.“Casey! Man! I haven’t seen you in days man, you alright?” his friend Luke came up and patted him on his shoulder. “You look like a mess.”Casey gave him a tight smile and only nodded. When he looked past him, he saw that Ava was looking at him and she just gave him a very blank stare before she got up and walked away and Klaire was frozen by the pool. Her friends all had their eyes focused on him. Their expressions were different. Some showed concern and others which were clear amusemen

Klaire acted as anyone would suspect. She was hysterical, tears and snot ran down her face. She begged and pleaded and every second of it made his heart squeeze. But he was doing this for them, not only him. It was best if she got out of a relationship and fixed herself before she got back into one. This was what he had told her but it seemed like Klaire misunderstood it as him getting back with her after her therapy. But he would not be doing that. But there was something so incredible liberation about finally saying it out loud that he was leaving Klaire. In his head, he expected to chicken out and not actually go through with it. He had been with Klaire for so long that it felt strange to go on with her, but he wondered all the things that he would be able to do now that Klaire was not a part of his life anymore. All the things he refrained from doing because she would be upset about it. Like going to the club or to a bar or just having a pleasant conv

Ava saw what was coming from a mile away. How did she know? Because it was Casey and Klaire. She had thought that an entire two days would be enough but she had guessed wrong. Because it was Casey and Klaire. And now with Casey in her office telling her that he was having second thoughts. She had to refrain from rolling her eyes. Now, Ava was finally able to understand why the internet was so invested and yet so done with this couple. It was this painful back and forth with them.She also understood why people were mad at Casey as well as with Klaire. That comment she had seen a while ago had stuck with her. Casey staying with Klaire seemed to be more for selfish reasons and that him staying with her was making her think that how she behaves is ok. It was wrong to let a person continue in such an unhealthy way. He wanted to stay with Klaire despite knowing, and being the one to bring it up, that she needed help.“Casey, do you love K

This is common for people who have had relatively lonely lives. They want love in any form they can get it and so when it comes knocking they immediately answer. Casey wanted Klaire because she loved him. Because she wanted him and he liked that she wanted him. But over time it became too much and he couldn't handle it and had thoughts of breaking it off. But not wanting to be alone, he tried to fix her. He didn't want to leave her.Casey is confused by what she says. He is denying everything but Ava can see it. She is confused as to why he did try to break up with her before when Klaire slapped her. He said that at that point he really was only thinking of getting away from her. He said that Klaire was suffocating and in that moment he was so angry that he didn't think ahead. But when she threatened to kill herself, he stayed with her.He tells her that he began to see all of her flaws as time passed and by the time of the wedding he was way past sick of her, but he did not want to b

After that day, Casey takes to trying to court Ava. She wonders why this appeared all of a sudden and wonders why he has this. She does not believe his feelings and continues to ignore his advances. Every time he appears at her door with floors or when he suddenly pops up when she is trying to live her life casually. She is afraid that the press will get wind of what he is doing and no matter how many times she tells Casey he does not listen to her.By his behavior, she assumes that he is trying to trap her. Get her in a difficult position and then expose her as someone who's trying to get with the person Klaire killed herself over. That is the only logical thing she can think of.Ava thinks that he is probably clinging to her because there is some essence of Klaire remaining on her since she was involved in their entire scandal. That's another theory she has. But whatever it is, she does not believe he has feelings for her.She follows news on him just so that he knows what he's up t

Three years go by and Ava has received a lot of help and has mostly gotten past everything that has happened. She has permanently stopped being a therapist because she still feels unworthy but now that she has been helped she's hoping she can find something to do with her life.The incident with Klaire and Casey has been long settled and people rarely bring it up. She still gets some stares in public but after a year the heavy hate she was getting decreased. Since Casey went missing three years ago no one has really been on their case anymore. A lot of people speculate he killed himself or he went into hiding as there would be the occasional person claiming they saw him with some blurred or potentially photoshopped picture to back them up. Ava is over it and since then she has learned to appreciate herself more and spend more time with herself.Ava goes out to the mall and shops for some essentials and on one of the TVs in the store she is in shows a news channel and there is a crowd

Horrified, Ava throws up on the spot. An overwhelming feeling of guilt builds inside of her. It's definitely her fault. She looks for more news about it and there is also news of a note she posted on her Instagram just a couple of hours after she was found dead. The letter is addressed to Casey and she basically states that even though she loved him he never fully loved her and that she dedicated so much of her time to him only for it all to fall apart. She says that she used the threat of killing herself in the past to keep him with her but it seemed he didn't care about her life because she was already dead because of him. She does not say Ava's name but addresses the 'homewrecking bitch' that came between them.Due to the shock of it all, Ava passes out. When she wakes up, she is in a hospital. Her friends came to check on her and found her passed out. They apologize for leaving her and explain that they needed time to process everything when the news broke out. They say that Klair

Ava would call what she and Casey did, a peaceful resolution. It was the end of their story and she hoped that this entire thing would just be done and over with. She was not expecting to meet with Casey again after that and hoped that their paths would not cross for the benefit of everyone. She just wished that he would not have to go through hell in order to divorce Klaire.She didn’t have work at the moment and she had returned to her apartment that day after meeting with Casey. Ava looked to focus on herself and grow as a person. There was no way that she would be able to gain redemption in the eyes of the public and that was not what she was looking for in the first place. If Ava could, she would rather have just disappeared and not come back for another couple of years. That night, she spent it contemplating everything she was doing with herself when she heard her doorbell ring. It was a mystery who it could have been but Ava had a couple of guesses. Maybe her friends were will

Once Casey and Ava were done with what they had to say, the million and one questions from the reporters came crashing down on them. It was hard for them to distinguish anything more than a couple of words. Casey tried his best to answer them. Ava did not feel qualified to answer anyone, so she moved more to the side and watched what Casey did. Once the crowd was able to be silenced, then they were able to actually hear what people had to say. They got questions along the lines of wondering if Casey dumped Klaire for Ava or what Ava was thinking when she held such a powerful position in their lives. After the press conference, there was a feeling of dread in Ava’s stomach that told her that what they did today did really nothing to help their cases. Ava was not sure why people would be sympathetic and understand where she was coming from. She did not expect them to. The ordeal was already trending online when she got home and once again she spent an unhealthy amount of time scrolli

Casey finally came up with an idea a couple of days later. Ava was not sure if it would make things better or worse but since it was the only thing they had and that it was better than just sitting around, she agreed.It was actually close to what Ava had thought of. Casey decided to call a press conference in the name of his father’s company to publicly apologize for the scandal. Ava was also to attend so that she could also apologize. It would not be announced that Ava was going to attend because she was definitely going to get killed before the event even took place.Based on what he had been telling her, Klaire had been back and forth between ignoring Casey, wanting to kill him, and begging for him to love her. She was a complete mess and Ava was sure that if she went to the press conference and saw her, s

“We really need to talk,” Casey said to her as he entered.“You think.”He walked for a bit and then stopped and looked back at her. “Klaire told me what she did to you. I'm so sorry. This really is all my fault. I should have listened to you when you said that being with Klaire was a mistake. I should have known that it would have blown up. And then to make things worse, I convinced you into a relationship with me.”Ava held up her hand. “I am just as responsible. Even more so since I’m the therapist here. I should have known better. Gosh, I should have known better. I’m sorry. I should have denied this. Doing this was never a good idea.”&ldqu

Two weeks passed. Two weeks of Ava lasting off of Zeeva’s cooking and groceries. Two weeks of pain and tears. Two weeks of not leaving her house and hating every moment of life. Two weeks before she had any contact from Casey.Casey: We need to speak. I’ll come by your apartment.Ava did not know what to expect and she did not know if him going to her was the best option but she knew that they needed to talk about what happened. They needed to do that at least once. She was not sure how he would be able to get him here, seeing as the paparazzi and Klaire’s army have not left her alone, but she was sure he would find a way.Besides the pictures of them fighting, there was nothing else from the two of them. After seeing the pictures, Ava wondered if Casey genuinely felt sorry for what he did. She knew that he still wanted Klaire to get help but she was not sure about his feel
