Ava

A year after the housewarming, I sat alone in my Seattle study. The rain tapped against the window, soft and familiar. My laptop was open to a blank page—the first page of a new novel, one I hadn't started yet. Outside, the city hummed its quiet hum. Inside, the only sounds were the click of the radiator and the distant meow of Fitzgerald, who was probably knocking something off the kitchen counter. Oliver was at work. Priya was traveling. For the first time in months, I was completely alon

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   Finally

    Five years passed like a breath. Not unnoticed, but ungraspable. Elena started kindergarten, then first grade, then second. She had her mother’s eyes and her father’s patience, and she drew pictures of everyone she loved—which was a lot of people. Ava’s career flourished. The novel she had written after Elena’s birth became a bestseller, and she toured again, but this time Oliver and Elena came with her. She didn’t have to miss them anymore.In Las Vegas, Ethan and Mia bought a house. Not the apartment they had shared, but a real house with a yard and a garden and a studio for Ethan where he could paint without tracking charcoal across the kitchen floor. Mia continued her work at The Oasis, now overseeing a network of centers across the Southwest. Desiree had taken over her old role, and every time Mia saw her helping a new family, she felt the strange, quiet pride of having passed something on.They had a daughter. Nora. She was three, with dark curls and her fath

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   Finally

    The wedding was set for spring, in the same garden where Tori and Derek had married. Mia had wanted something small, intimate, free from the drama that had defined so much of her early life. Ethan agreed. He didn't need a crowd. He just needed her.In the months leading up to the ceremony, they worked side by side. Ethan painted a new series—portraits of Mia, not as a muse, but as a partner. The woman who had helped him heal. The woman who had chosen him, and whom he had chosen in return. Mia continued her work at The Oasis, mentoring Desiree and expanding the center's reach. The guilt that had once consumed her had softened into something like purpose. She wasn't running from her past anymore. She was building on top of it.Ava flew in for the wedding, leaving Elena with Oliver for the weekend. She had offered to be a bridesmaid. Mia had accepted, her eyes wet. Some wounds never fully closed, but they had scarred over into something that could hold.The n

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   Crossroad

    A year passed like water through fingers. Not unnoticed, but ungraspable. Elena learned to crawl, then to stand, then to say “Mama” and “Dada” and “no,” which she used with impressive frequency. Ava finished her new novel—the one about the woman who learns to trust herself—and sold it to a bigger publisher than her first. Oliver got a promotion. They started looking at houses with yards, because Elena deserved space to run.In Las Vegas, Ethan and Mia celebrated their fourth anniversary. Not with a party or a trip, but with takeout and a bottle of wine and a long conversation about the future. He asked her to marry him at the end of it, not on one knee but across the kitchen table, his hand in hers.“I know I’m not the wildfire,” he said. “I know I’m still learning. But I also know that I want to wake up next to you for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?”She said yes. She had been ready for months. Waiting for him to catch up.The engagement was quiet. They told their friends in

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   Birth

    The first week of Elena’s life was a blur of sleepless nights and tiny onesies and the strange, overwhelming love that Ava hadn’t known she was capable of. She had read about it—the rush of hormones, the instinct to protect—but reading and experiencing were two different things. Every time the baby cried, her heart raced. Every time the baby slept, she watched her breathe, terrified that she would stop.Oliver was a natural. He changed diapers without complaint, rocked Elena to sleep in the crook of his arm, and talked to her in a low, steady voice that seemed to calm her instantly. Ava watched him with a mixture of admiration and envy. Why was it so easy for him? Why did she feel like she was drowning?One night, Elena wouldn’t stop crying. Nothing worked—feeding, burping, rocking, singing. Oliver was at work, and Ava was alone, pacing the living room with the baby in her arms, tears streaming down her face.“I don’t know what you want,” she whispered. “I

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   Building the Future

    The weeks after the wedding settled into something ordinary. Not the heavy ordinary of waiting for disaster, but the light ordinary of routine. Tori and Derek returned from their honeymoon—a quiet week in a cabin in Montana—and immediately started arguing about where to hang the wedding photos. Marcus and Samira finally hired a part-time nanny for the twins, which meant they could go on actual dates again. Jake started seeing someone new, a bartender named Nina, and for once he didn’t sabotage it within the first month.Ava’s pregnancy progressed. The bump grew from a small swell to something unmistakable. She stopped fitting into her old jeans and started wearing Oliver’s sweaters around the apartment. The baby kicked at odd hours—early morning, late at night, always when she was trying to write. She had abandoned the novel she’d been struggling with and started a new one, something about a woman who learns to trust herself. The words came easier now.Oliver talke

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   The Wedding

    The wedding was held in a garden on the outskirts of Las Vegas, a place where the desert met something softer. Rows of white chairs faced a simple arch covered in flowers. The sun was setting, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink. A string quartet played something soft and familiar.Ava sat in the second row, Oliver beside her, her hand resting on her small bump. Priya was on her other side, already crying. Across the aisle, Ethan and Mia sat close together, their shoulders touching. Marcus and Samira had taken the row behind, the twins miraculously quiet. Jake was the best man, standing at the front in a suit that actually fit, looking nervous.The music changed. Everyone stood.Tori walked down the aisle alone. It had been her choice—no father to give her away, no mother who deserved the honor. She walked with her head high, her dress simple and elegant, her eyes fixed on Derek. He was crying before she reached him. So was she.When she

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   The Silence

    The next two weeks passed in a fog.I went to work, came home, sat in my room. I ate when my mom reminded me, answered when people spoke to me, moved through the motions of being alive without actually feeling any of it.Mia checked on me constantly, texting, calling, showing up at my door with tak

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   The Slow Fade

    The end of the school year came faster than I was ready for.Ethan’s last official day was a Friday in early June. We celebrated by driving out to the lake with his friends and Mia, a bonfire burning low as the sun set behind the trees. The air was thick with summer, with the promise of long, lazy

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   Falling into something real

    Dating Ethan Blake was like discovering a new color.Before him, my world had been defined by routine: school, homework, time with Mia, the occasional family dinner, weekends that blurred together.

  • My Bestfriend's Boy   THE NEW GUY

    AVA'S POVThe first day of spring semester always carried this particular energy—like everyone was holding their breath, waiting for something to happen.
