Too Young To Want Him The Meeting Neither of Them Expected
Ava stood outside Lydia’s hospital room, her fingers tightly gripping the strap of her bag as her heartbeat echoed loudly in her ears. The hallway felt unusually quiet, yet her thoughts were anything but calm. She had imagined this moment many times during the past few days, but now that she was truly here, fear slowly crept into her chest.She wondered if coming back had been a mistake.Riley stood beside her and gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze. “You don’t have to rush,” she said softly. “She’s been waiting, but she’ll understand if you need a minute.”Ava swallowed hard and nodded, though her eyes remained fixed on the closed door. “I’m just… nervous,” she admitted quietly. “I don’t know how she’ll look at me.”Riley smiled gently. “She looks at you the same way she always did.”Ava took a slow breath, trying to calm herself before finally lifting her hand and knocking lightly on the door.A small voice came from inside. “Come in.”The sound of Lydia’s voice made Ava’s chest tigh
Too Young To Want Him A Call She Never Expected
Lydia waited until Marcus left the hospital room to get in touch with the doctor and then she reached slowly towards the phone which was lying on the bedside table. Her heart was racing, but this time it was not sickness that made it race. She understood that her father had good intentions, but she also understood that adults wait too long and say that it is impossible to correct something. She was not willing to wait any longer.She then opened the phone carefully and browsed through all the contacts until she spotted the name that she wanted.Riley.Ava's best friend.Lydia paused for a moment and questioned herself whether she was doing the right thing, but the recollection of the sweet smile of Ava urged her on. Ava had always been present when Lydia needed somebody to comfort her, and now it was her time to make a call.She pressed the call button.Two rings sounded out before Riley picked up the phone. "Hello?"Lydia said, me... me... me... Auntie Riley.Surprise was instantaneo
Too Young To Want Him Unasked Questions
The nurse had just walked out of the hospital room, leaving it unusually quiet. Marcus remained close to the door, still holding his phone very tightly in his hand, and Lydia stared at him, her eyes no longer wet with innocence but with bewilderment and pain. The reality that she had just received could not find a peaceful dwelling in her heart.However, Lydia broke the silence and said, very slowly, “Daddy, I do not understand something.”Marcus looked at her, and he was already aware that this discussion was not going to be light. "What is it, sweetheart?"Lydia sat more erectly on the bed, and her small fingers grasped the blanket. Why did Ava not stay? Why not stay?... if Ava saved me... Why didn't somebody tell her how important she was?Marcus opened his mouth, and he had no words now. The burden of guilt fell on him once more."She thought..." Then he started slowly, then paused."She thought what?" Lydia asked firmly.” Did she think that we did not love her?”Marcus turned his
Too Young To Want Him The Truth That Changed Everything
The morning sunlight gradually lit up the hospital room of Lydia and threw its soft glow over the bed, where she sat silently leafing through the picture book. The machines near her started beeping, but no longer with a frightening sound, but calm and steady as her breathing was now. This was the first time in weeks that she managed to sit up without any assistance, but something still did not feel right.Again, she glanced toward the door.Daddy, Lydia said when Marcus walked into the room holding a little bag of fruits.Marcus forced a gentle smile. "Good morning, princess. How are you feeling today?"“Yes, better, I feel better now that I saw you,” she thought, observing him. “I have a doctor who said I am healing fast.”Marcus nodded, but weariness was still on his face. He had slept, indeed, a little before Ava had gone out of the house. Each silent moment brought to his memory that she was gone.“It is good news,” he said, and put the fruits on the table. "You're very brave."Ly
Too Young To Want Him The Silence She Left Behind
It was so awkward when Ava went home.Marcus was sitting in the living room all alone, looking at the vacant space in front of the staircase where she had partially occupied herself just a few hours ago with her suitcase in her hand. The silence was so much against his chest that he could hardly breathe in his usual fashion. Each room of the house brought back the memory of her being there, and the knowledge that she was really gone was sinking deeper with each minute.He bent his head, his elbows on his knees, and rubbed his face wearily."What have I done..." he muttered under his breath.The image re-enacted itself in his head. Ava cries, her voice trembling as she attempts to justify herself, and his own vituperation does not cut her like a knife.Leave.It was something he had not meant.And now the word rang round in his head.Marcus rose to his feet and walked towards the kitchen, hoping that he would lose his thoughts in distraction, but as he opened the refrigerator he stoppe
Too Young To Want Him Nowhere to Belong
That taxi arrived at the door of the house of Daniel at an early morning light was just coming up. Ava sat back and gazed through the window without saying a word; it seemed to her she no longer knew where she was. Her eyes were red with crying, which now did not produce any tears, as she was quite empty inside.Daniel was out as fast as he could see the car."Ava!" he called, and ran hastily up to her with all the signs of a concerned face. I have been calling you all night. What happened?"The driver unlocked the trunk, and Daniel snatched her suitcase before she managed to do it at all.Slowly, Ava drew out her steps, weak and fatigued.I am all right, I said in a low voice, but I did not sound all right.Daniel frowned immediately. "You don't look fine. Did Marcus do something? Did you two fight again?"Ava made a little smile that did not reach her eyes. "It's over, Daniel."He froze. "What do you mean... over?"He told me to go away, she answered.The face of Daniel flushed with
Too Young To Want Him The Question That Changed Everything
There was something strange about the quietness of the living room that afternoon. The curtains were half open, and the soft light entered and made everything heavier than it ought to have been. Ava leaned against the couch with her hands on her belly and did not even notice them. Mark was standing
Too Young To Want Him The Distance Between Them
Marcus startled into a sharp wakefulness, and his heart throbbed like a race-horse. The room was dark and silent, yet his mind was noisy and full of images that he would have liked to be erased. Slowly, he sat up and pressed his hands over his face, endeavouring to get himself steady.He had dreame
Too Young To Want Him Watching Eyes
The morning sun was creeping into the kitchen, although Elena was on her feet. She was standing at the counter, stirring her tea slowly, her mind not on the tender sound of the spoon striking the cup. She could not stop thinking about Ava, her silence, her tension, and how she could avoid some disc
Too Young To Want Him She Knows Something
Ava was standing on a low bench in the backyard with her hands clasped around her stomach. The afternoon was still, that sort of stillness which naturally made her serene, but today only caused her to be more conscious of herself. She was observing Lydia on the opposite side of the yard, as she slo
