Ava’s POV

Groaning and with a bad headache, I turned on the bed as I tried to open my eyes slightly. I shook and almost fell off the bed when I realized I was naked with Mason in bed with me.

How did this happen? How did I end up in bed with someone I was supposed to stay away from?

My headache grew worse as I tried to remember how I got here and it eventually dawned on me. I was worried about him when he said he was going to commit suicide and so I went to the address he sent to me.

I groaned and mentally slapped myself when I remembered that we had sex, I knew it was a bad idea to sleep with him especially when he’s going through a lot of things.

We were both tipsy if not drunk. Holding my head, I stood from the bed and stared down at him. He was sleeping so peacefully like he had nothing to worry about.

Even though he’d told me that he has handled things his own way, I couldn’t help but think about how he has a son and my blood boiled again.

I can’t possibly see him again even if I

    Ava’s POV Thinking of what to do next, I picked my phone back up to call Nicole and I was glad when she didn’t delay in picking up the call.Trying my best not to cry, I explained everything to her in detail and eventually asked her to put in a good word for me with her boss because I want to start living in Los Angeles permanently.“I really just need to leave all this behind and I’d love to work and stay with you if that’s not a problem?” I sniffed as I spoke.Everything happening around was too overwhelming and I knew that if I didn’t let it all go and leave it all behind my mental health would deteriorate so badly.“Of course, it’s never a problem,” Nicole’s voice jolted me out of my thoughts and I was relieved.“But I just gotta ask, you’re not giving up on Mason because you found out he has a child, right?” She asked and I sighed.She sounds right but wrong at the same time. I'm giving up not just on Mason but on everything and I just need to be somewhere where I’ll get some se

    Ava’s POVIt’s been a week since San Francisco and for every day that passes, I got a call from Mason but brought myself to ignore every one of his calls.“Mason!” Nicole called into the phone when he called her and my eyes widened, I wasn’t expecting him to call her.“Uhm, sure.” She added before standing up to hand me the phone but I refused. I didn’t want to talk to him at least not yet, I still needed time to think.“You know what, why don’t you just call back and I’ll try and talk to her?” Nicole assured him and he must have agreed because he hung up and Nicole turned to look at me as if to ask if I was alright.“What the hell is wrong with you?” She groaned as she pulled on her hair as if she was going crazy but I only sighed.“You know, Maybe Aisha is right and we shouldn’t be in a romantic relationship in the first place because we’re supposed to be siblings.” I explained and Nicole just rolled her eyes.“Well, Fuck Aisha or whatever the fuck her name is, what does she know?”

My anger came rushing back and all the pain started becoming fresh.“Please, Ava. Just wait.” He called and he won’t stop following me until he caught up with me.“Were you stalking me?” I asked as I turned to look at him in anger, “you knew I was going to be here and you followed me, didn’t you?” I added and he only shook his head lightly.“No, why would I do that? Why would you think I stalked you?” He responded.“I came to pick up my stacks of books because

You scared me.” I shrieked, covering my mouth and trying dramatically to catch my breath, “what are you doing here?” I added before closing the door behind me and walked past her.Exhausted, I sunk into one of the couches and rested my back against it as I threw my head back and closed my eyes.“I was waiting for you,” she responded before handing me a glass of water, “you had a lot of fun, yeah?” She asked and I nodded.Setting the glass of water down, I told Nicole that I had a lot of things to tell her about my outing with Xander and she couldn’t wait to hear it.“Don’t tell me you both had sex, you weren’t even out for up to five hours?” She asked and I made a retching sound.“You’re really disgusting.” I rolled my eyes at her before telling her that that wasn’t it.

Are you okay?” I asked but he only kissed me and told me that he was fine which I know was a lie because he was really happy up until he went to pick Khalid up from the apartment.Without bothering him, I stopped asking if he was alright Incase it was something personal and he didn't want to talk to me about it.But a tiny part of me told me it was something about Aisha and not wanting to ruin the night I decided not to say anything about it anymore.The drive home was also unusually silent and I had no idea what to do to get him to cheer up other than to let him figure things out and talk to me so I could help.Aisha had called Mason already to tell him that sh

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

There was food on my bedside table.Smiling, I opened the covered food on the table to see varieties of foods, there was steak, sandwiches with tea and even a bottle of wine, orange juice and water for me to choose from.Moving to the edge of the bed, I decided to start with the sandwich and even though I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but compare this current marriage to my first one.Mason had always been nice to me and despite the amount of time we spent together he never got tired of me.
