Mag-log inAva's POV “We need to talk dad.” I said coldly and climbed the stairs to his study. I did not bother to look at his face as I walked past him. I pushed the door open and the familiar smell of books hit me and tea? Well, that's new. My dad would normally not drink tea. But now, since his health has been teetering on the edge, he must have been compelled to start taking it and I'm sure it has the hand of Helen in it. “What do you want Ava? It's been a long day for me and you know it.” He said immediately he walked on and closed the double doors behind him. Thankfully. I don't want Helen listening to how rude I might be in the next couple of minutes. “You know why I'm here dad. Don't let us pretend. Let us get straight to the point.” I rested on the side of his table and looked directly at him as he rounded the table and dropped his bag on it and he sat down. He looked a little tired, but still hyper too. Well, that's good. “In all honesty, I don't know. So, how about you enlighten
Ava's POV “Why was he not on the ice tonight?” I asked Ethan immediately he stepped out of the locker room. I had made it my mission to stay around when they weren't with the game. I did not care one bit that I might run into him after avoiding him all of the time. “I don't know Ava.” He said. And that alone made me know what I wanted to know. He knew why Liam was not here and he was only hiding it away from me. “You know I will not leave you alone until you actually tell me. So, why don't you get on with it?” I said to him, I already walked him in the park now. He dropped his duffel bag in the back of the car and was about to open the driver's side but I maneuvered my way in between to stop him from entering. “I'm not exactly in the mood for this, right now. I've had a long day and I need to rest.” He said to me, I knew that. I saw the press conference that they had after the game and even though I was not on duty to work today somehow, I was able to sense the tension in the r
Liam's POV Talking to coach after he called me back into his office is what I would describe as an unexpected turn of events. He said drugs were found in my locker in the random checks that happens normally. I knew that was not true because I have never touched drugs before in the entirety of my life. Not even when I was living and breathing where it was made. I never made that mistake at all. Which made me to go for testing and unfortunately for me, it came out positive. And Coach knows about it. I was not allowed to play until it was confirmed that I did not use it by myself and that I was set up like I claimed and told the board in the past couple of days. “As much as I don't like you at the moment and I want to get rid of you, I've known you almost all your career and know that you don't damble in all of those things. But there is nothing I can do to help you at moment. Just sit back and until the investigation is done.” He had said and patted me on the back. I tried to make
Ava's POV The news of our break up, well, that said more about being in a relationship was accepted more than I had thought or anticipated. People were like they already knew that we were not in a relationship. And that there was no way someone like him would be in a relationship with someone like me. That had hurt but then, I did not put it to mind. The other set of people were like we were in a relationship and that there was evidence about it. I read a comment about someone saying that there was a particular time an expensive sports car brought me to my school and I knew it was someone from there. They must have been part of the people that witnessed it then. All in all, the news did what it was supposed to do. Get people off my back. But then, my feelings and heart were in shambles. After the whole thing that has happened. He's not called me and neither have I called him too. It was like we both never happened at all. I missed talking to him. I can't count the number of times
Ava's POV I had not walked two steps out of the office when I felt him chase after me. He all but pushed me into a corner that was not far from the office and when I looked at him, I could almost feel the panic and worry that was rolling off of him. “Tell me you did not mean what you just said in there.” He whispered furiously. “You can't do this here. People will walk by and they will us. You don't want to add to what …..” “Answer my question Ava. You do not mean that right?” He emphasized each of the words he said. I bit my lip. I could not look at him. My heart was beating very fast and I could feel my breathing coming on too fast. And that is not good for me at all. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing. “I meant every single word of what I said. We are ending things. Hell. I'm breaking up with you.” I said in a very strong voice and I patted myself on the back for not wavering one second as I spoke. “You don't mean that. We spoke the other day and we were good
Ava's POV When dad's call came through, I knew it was not going to be good. I decided on ignoring him but I knew that would not be a good idea. So, here we are. “You know the implications of what dropped?” He asked and I nodded quietly. “Did I do something wrong by any chance?” He asked me and I looked up at him with genuine confusion on my face. “I told you expressly when you first stayed to work here. I told you that you should stay away from all of them. That they should stay off you. Apparently, he did not think the rule applies to him. And because of what you did, he might have to face some consequences.” “What?! Consequences how?” “You did not think I was joking about his suspension right?” “Dad! That's ridiculous. Is it a crime to be in love with him? I love him, dad. He means so much to me.” I found myself saying. Even as the words spilled from my lips, I could feel how true they were. Even though I had not said it to him before. Even though I had never said it to his fa
Ava's POV “I'll be going to campus tomorrow.” I said in a small voice as I laid my head on his chest. He pulled me closer to him. At first, I found it strange that he would want to cuddle after sex. We fought about it a couple of times, especially when we were on the road. I would not want anyone
Ava's POV:True to what he said, it was a very fast journey given we were in a sports car. By the time he pulled over in front of my faculty, my insides started to churn a little bit. The butterflies that I thought were in my belly had somehow turned into bats that were killing each other. I look
Ava's POV My arm absent mindedly reached for the other side of the bed to check if I would be met by a warm body the way I had slept the other night. But I was met with a cold side of the bed. I opened my eyes slowly and adjusted my eyes to the light that was flooding the room through the window.
Ava's POV We started to sneak around more often than usual. Not like we were doing so before, but we had our moments in the past. Right now, it was as though neither of us cared about being caught. Me for one, I've banished the thought and idea of being caught that used to hold me down in the pas
