Is he like your boyfriend or something?” She asked as she took her shot and I sighed.I’ve also been meaning to ask him about it but I’ve been unable to because I didn’t want to ruin what we have going on.“Not really, I don’t know. We haven’t really talked about it, you know.” I answered with a sigh and Nicole almost choked on her drink.“What do you mean you haven’t talked about it?” She asked as she hit me, “you better ask him about it so you know where you stand before going knee deep into this and getting hurt again.” She added.I couldn’t have agreed more with her, she’s right. I really need to know what Mason and I were instead of assuming and getting my heart broken again.“I’ll talk to him about it soon.” I replied as I assured Nicole and she heaved out a sigh of relief as she implored me to talk abo

    Ava’s POVDanny’s burial soon came and everything was set and ready. The priest spoke before asking us to come make a speech.Walking up to the altar, I looked at everyone around and it felt like I had nothing to say about Danny except the fact that he was a good father to me.“When everyone was less supportive of me, Danny stayed with me, he could disbelieve a lot of things but he never stopped believing in me. He really is the best father in the world and I don’t think they make fathers like him because I think I took the last one.” I laughed and sniffled and the mood was lightened up a bit.“Danny had touched our lives one way or the other and I don’t think he would want us here crying, he was always so full of life and as crazy as it might sound, I think Danny would want us to be glad that he lived the best of his life.” I finished before walking off.Mason made a speech about his father too and watching him stand there just made my heart come crashing down.“We disagree on a lot
