Ava’s POV
My feet shuffled aimlessly on the streets. The dusky dawn was up on my head, clouds turning black. Birds were returning to their nests but here I, I was roaming astray not knowing where to go.
I needed space. Above all I did not want to face Noah. The thought of seeing him alone caused me to think back about him and Dylan.
How could he even think of being with Dylan? Ugh, could not he just avoid feeling what he may have felt out of his hormones?
My shoulders feel heavy. They ached as though they were burdened with the truth from today. It was burdened which I wish to pull off my shoulders and throw far… far away.
A lone dark cloud of mockery danced over my head. Great! What I was feeling was not enough to drench me in shame that now this cloud was hovering on my head to drench me in rain?
“Huh,” I
44 Ethan's POV "You found her?" Waiting by the side of street near school, I talked to my friend Jack. His sigh was the first answer that came than his reply, "Unfortunately not. I looked everywhere. She is nowhere near her house." "Fuck! This girl will kill me one day." I worried my lower lip between the teeth. "Alright then, thanks buddy. It is almost night. You better head back home, I will search for Ava alone." I said, stretching my hands. My entire body was aching. I have been looking crazily for Ava everywhere in the city where she could go.  
45 Her face flushed and eyes looking almost closed, Ava sunk herself in the sofa. She came home right after witnessing Ethan's mom with that woman who had to be her girlfriend. She had gone to meet him so that she could tell him about her pain. Unfortunately, looked like her own boyfriend had same stuff going on in his life. From what it looked, her mother had been seeing this woman under her husband's hand. And today they were breaking up for their husbands. "Yuck!!!" She ground her teeth as she hugged her knees. Looked like every second person in this world was like this, abnormal. They liked people from the same sex, irrespective of how, wrong it was.&
"Miss. Jones, mind telling us about where you are lost? We would love to bring you back to earth so you pay attention in the class." Ava was looking out of the window during the class, when the teacher saw her."Umm, Sorry ma'am." She looked down in her book while the teacher rolled her eyes before resuming her teaching.Ava clutched her teeth tight and raised her head to focus. Her gaze eventually crossed the room and met with the dark pair of eyes that had been staring at her through out.Ethan.He was sitting with Dylan. The two guys were looking at her. Ethan with emotionless eyes while Dylan with sympathy.Ava ignored them both and concentrated on the diagram that teacher was explaining.'I hate them both. They are liars and cheaters.' She played with her pen, still being able to feel Ethan'
Ava retired home after lectures. She had expected at least Dylan to follow her post that event but he didn't. Rather, he and Ethan enjoyed pizza in canteen while she sat alone munching on an apple.She missed all the fun she used to have with Ethan and other. But they were not missing her. They seemed to savour their lives without her.Had she really meant nothing to them?As tears formed again, Ava got inside her room and threw the bag on floor. She was about to jump on bed and cry to herself when she heard noises coming from Noah's room.She was skeptical and didn't want to see him yet her legs dragged her there. And to her dismay, Noah was sitting on floor with a bleeding heel. As she could see it, he had mistakenly stepped on broken pieces of glass that were scattered around on floor."Ughh, this hurts!" she clenched her fingers watching
Ava's POVYet another few hours rolled by with me shedding my tears of pain. The dilemma won't let me breathe peacefully. My heart felt heavy. As if it was weighed with the burden of something I was to be accused.While the sky darkened pitch black, stars twinkled quite aggressively. But here, in the room, I felt suffocated. My lungs won't swell properly, I could not breath deeply.This room was making my breathing hard which is why, I immediately pulled out a jacket and threw it around my back, and came out of my room.My legs halted at the door, the conversation I had with Noah now bothered me. It led me to look at the door of his room, it was closed. I wished to go inside and hug him, but my body would not follow it.I had mixed feelings. Sympathy and anger combined. I wanted my brother back as my best brother. I wanted the both of us to be best sib
Ethan's POV"No, Sally. I said no.""But why? I see you eagerly need a lay. Then why not?""Because I am not interested in you." Slightly pushing Sally, one of my classmates behind, I got up from the counter at the club and walked away."Fuck you, jerk!" I let her words unheeded and joined my other friends in a booth.They were having fun. Playing a random stupid game, they cried in happiness and laughed like crazy. But here, I slumped as a disinterested mess of feelings and bad mood as the music hurt my ears.I miss Ava. If we had not had that fight and that stupid break up, I had been with her. We would have been probably enjoying a night ride while she hugged me from the back and laughed near my ear.It has been a month and we didn't talk except for certain events when it became important to face each other. Only for argu
Ethan’s face turned the colour of dead. It was pale, lips parted and breaths stuck in his windpipe, “You are joking, aren’t you? I have known Bill since childhood and I disagree with what you just claimed.” The friendship in his heart toward Bill did not convince him to accept their accusation.They just said that Bill, his innocent friend, coerced them to do things as he threatened them. Like shit, Bill could do anything but force someone.He was shy. He never opened his mouth to fight back people who tried to trouble him when alone. Although he was a friend to a jerk like Ethan, he remained non violent to people who picked on him with the intention to avenge Ethan for bullying them. When he could not protect himself from others' trouble, there was no chance that he would be trouble to anyone.About bothering them using their relationship status as a bait was
A veil of darkness clutched her vision unseen. Ava could see nothing. Her limbs hurt and head spun. Though there was that veil before her eyes still she can sense unusual happenings taking place around her.She can hear it. A sound of metal striking on something. It was intense and loud. Not ears deafening but a noise that brought a wave of terror along with it and crashed against the wall of her heart, shuddering her.And then there was that voice. Slow and quiet. Heavy with piss and husky with grunt. She also heard loud breathing beside it which indicated labour. Whoever it was, was working hard. Striking hard and breathing hard.Alas her body won’t support her thoughts. She had an important urge to see this person as well as the task he had undertaken and why. Unfortunately, the cover of her lids won’t elevate and let her see a thing.Not until she heard the voice clear a
A few months later, The entire school building was decorated with a Pride theme. There were long strings of rainbow flags tied from one end of the two walls to another in each corridor. Students giggled and shot pictures under a tree that was yet again decorated with colours reflecting pride celebration. Their t-shirts had unicorns or rainbows while a circular batch on their chest glowed, that read, 'I support LGBT' The floor had glitters. There were rainbow balloons stuck on the wall. Girls wore rainbow tiaras and tassel garlands while the boys had rainbow wigs put on. There was no wall within the school building that didn't have pride hashtags. Various tags were scribbled on colourful chart papers and stuck out there. From #supportlgbt #lovefindsitsway #pride #iamproudofmyself and many more. Some creative souls have used VIBGYOR colours on their hashta
"Doctor," Standing in a corner meekly, Ava watched her dad stop the doctor as he came out of the OT. His eyebrows widened and a sigh escaped. From his expressions, she knew the news was not good. But still she hopefully compressed her palm on the chest, wishing to hear the words everyone desired. "We are trying our best." he said, his hand squeezing Mr. Jones' shoulder before he excused himself and left. Once again the corridor of the hospital bathed in silence as everyone stood scattered here and there with a fallen and pale face. After Ethan arrived in time at the clock tower, he dealt with Bill and rushed both Dylan and Noah to hospital. They had passed out. Worst... Dylan was not breathing given that he was already injured and the fight did more harm to his body. And Noah, he bled profusely that his
"D-dylan?" Ava’s heart sunk into calmness. Her eyes stormed with tears. She sniffed feeling her lungs refuse oxygen. The hair on her skin erected as the disheveled stature of her best friend came to view."How dare you bitch get my girl. I told you to stay away from her, didn't I?" Dylan roared on top of his lungs as he plunged a punch on Bill's right cheek.His blow threw him to the ground, his face down. "You coerced us to do shitty stuff, scared us with our relationship secrets and what not... Yet after doing so much you are here with her. How dare you." He was a mess of blood, smell of sweat and anger.His eyes were not two normal human eyes. They had transformed into dark ember balls that depicted small versions of fire ball. They glared down at Bill as he lashed him with blows and kicks.Ava could not take her eyes away. He finally came. Her best friend. They were
