Ava p.o.v"Sorry I'm late" A girl around the age of Kara came rushing in, she slumped on a chair taking in deep breath before exhaling slowly. "So tell me, what is so important that you cannot let me enjoy my day off in peace. Not that you have ever left me in peace even for a second," She exaggerated, still breathless like she's been running for miles.Kara grinned Innocently blinking her eyes like an innocent child, it kinda of irritated the new girl but she shrugged it over with a wave of hand.A chuckle escape my mouth before I could stop it, She paused, realising that they had company. She faced me with and her eyes went wide, she looks between Kara and I confused."OMG Kara, is she one of your model friends. Why didn't you tell me to dress properly." She whispered, or so she thought. But I heard her loud and clear, I rolled my eyes at her exaggeration.I for a fact knows that I'm no where near a model, I might not be fat but that doesn't qualify me for a model."Meet Ava, My bro

Ava p.o.vI woke up with a dull ache wrap around my waist, I double over in pain when I try sitting up. The pain only last a few seconds disappearing back to its dull ache, I groan when I realized it's was my time of the month.I hate it when it's just show up unexpectedly, my menstruation cycle is always irregular. it doesn't have a particular day to it, it infuriates me too much, the only good thing is that I don't have cramps but there's always this dull ache that lingered around my lower back. It's only hurts when I'm stressed or sitted for too long, and it's makes me feel weak, I dare not stand more than a minute.I crawl to the edge of the bed, I stood up groggily. I held my head in my hand feeling a bit dizzy, after my head clear and my blurry vision adjusted to the bright light in the room. I made a move in the direction of the bathroom, I needs to wash this stinky blood off me and look around for a pad. I don't know why I think there would be a pad in a male bathroom, not jus

Ava p.o.v."Finally, I thought we'd starved to death waiting for you." Dario said dramatically already piling his plate with loads of foods, I smiled shyly and greets everyone.I sat on the empty space beside Vince, I saw Alex sitting opposite me, an annoying smirk playing on his lips. I frown when he wink at me but shrug it off waving slightly at him, he must have gotten comfortable here.Alex mouthed 'He is so whipped'. I stare at him confused, who is he referring to, I hope it isn't Vince because he would be deceiving himself. I rolled my eyes at him when he grinned at me.Marco and Grace sat next to Alex too engaged in their conversation to notice anything else, so I just let them be. My mom on the other hand went back to her gossip with Mrs Alfonso after answering my greeting, Kara was grumbling seriously under her breath about who knows what.Dante seems pissed as he keeps glaring from his phone to Kara, I didn't put much thought into it, they must been having siblings fight.

Ava p.o.v"So what's the deal with you and Dante" I asked Kara, We are now in the mall, walking around in the wedding gown section looking for a Gown. I honestly have no interest in finding a Gown, so I just let both my Mom and to be Mom do the shopping since they are more excited than I am, like they were the ones getting married."That fucking bastard." I gave her the stink eye which she didn't notice because she was busy glaring at the gown in her hand, as if it is Dante. "Remember Valarie from yesterday?" She faced me, yeah I do remember her but what's with her and them.I gave her a curt nod."The thing is she had a crush on Dante since childhood, like when we were ten but that butt head of a brother didn't acknowledge her feelings neither reciprocate her feelings." She hissed irritated. "I know for a fact that he feels something for her but he just won't admit it."I kind of guessed that, but why won't Dante love her back, she seems to me like a nice girl."She has decided to gi

Ava p.o.vI flicked my eyes open and I'm immediately flutter them close from the brightness in the room, I sat up when my sight has adjusted to the light. I noticed I'm in Vince room, I must have slept through the rest of the ride.I held my head and groan a little, a headache is starting to form at the back of my head. It must be from fright, I had cried myself to sleep so it's most likely I would have an headache when I wake up.I stretch my limbs feeling a bit stiff and sore from staying in one position for too long. I climbed down from the bed, walking to the door, I have to check on Mom and maybe leave this house for some time."Where are you going Cara." Vince husky voice stopped me from reaching the doorknob. I turn around and stare at Vince, who is sitting on a armchair in a far corner of the room. He has his phone in hand, legs cross on the small stool in his front, he stare at me from his eyelashes but it's still intimidating.I have to admit this man still intimidate me."C
