Casey messaged Ava early in the morning, telling her to meet him at a park he had found that was far away from where they lived that hopefully, they would not run into the people they knew. He wanted to have a chance to hold her hand in public and so he found the park after some searching.
Of course, they would still have to hide their faces but at least they were doing it in public. He did know that there was a risk since they were both well-known public figures, but it was a chance he wanted to take. He hated sneaking around with Ava and wanted everyone to know about their relationship. But that would only happen later in life.
He was not sure how he would announce that they were dating once Klaire and he broke up. Well, he did, he just did not know how to do it in a way that would not want the world aiming to cut off their heads. He would have fallen for her after his relationship with Klaire fell through. He would have gone to her for
With their hands joined. Casey led Ava through the park, back to their cars. They had been walking for a while and Ava was starting to get tired, so they would go and eat and then take a nap together. He liked the thought of cuddling with her after having a filling meal.Pulling his hat down to block out the sun, he looked down at his feet, his vision being mostly blocked. Ava walked next to him, her steps were smaller than his and he slowed down, taking steps to match hers.Suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps. They were heavy and getting louder as they got closer to them. Unsure of what was going on, Casey looked up and saw a figure coming at both of them. With the sun causing a slight glare, he could not see the person well at first, but after he changed his angle, he did not have much time to react as a
Not wanting people to know what happened, Gwen got herself quickly patched up at the hospital and then went home. She was scared. Klaire had found out. It was all over for the both of them. She should have known better than to get into a relationship with Casey. And yet, all the warnings her brain gave her were ignored by her heart.Casey derived someone better than Klaire. She and him miserable and so Ava, stepped in, wanting to be his savior and take away all the misery he got from her. And he depended on her for it. He depended on her to take away his pain and to make him feel good again. Ava should have known better than to get into a relationship with him, but she did not regret it one bit.And that led to inevitable exposure of their relationship. To Klaire, and to the world.Casey and Ava had no contact since the day Klaire caught them, things had been too silent and AVa feared for what was going to h
Ava got the living shit beat out of her. To say the least. Klaire definitely did not hold back when it came to taking her frustrations out of her and her friends were not far behind. She recognized all of them from the wedding and it made her feel even worse about herself. And no matter how much she tried to save herself, Klaire would not listen to anything she had to say. But what did Ava deserve? Nothing. Or maybe a one-way ticket to hell? That was what Klaire was trying to do for her.But after a while, Klaire did stop and she and her friends left her alone on the floor. Writhing in all sorts of pain and almost wishing that she finished the job. She was subjected to all sorts of swears and curses and Klaire screamed to hell and back about how much of a bitch she was and how she wished she would die.“But I will let you live in your misery. You deserve to be ruined in life and then it will follow you all the way to your
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
“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
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
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
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
