Ava was standing in the centre of her room, staring at the open suitcase on the bed. It was little, the one that you used to take short journeys, not leave your life behind. Her hands were moving as she folded a sweater slowly and put it aside. She could not think of anything, as her mind had closed over to safeguard her against a complete collapse.

She took only the things she could carry. A few clothes. Her phone charger. She discovered it in the drawer. Then she came to a framed portrait of

  • Too Young To Want Him   A Dangerous Appointment

    The following morning, Ava woke up with a tight feeling in her chest. Nothing was going on in the house, and sunlight peered through the curtains as though it did not wish to disturb her thoughts. A long time, the stillness of her position made her believe she was dead; and then one hand fell upon her stomach, as well as the other in a grip upon the sheets.She really was doing this, she said to herself.She forced herself out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She did not want to see her face in the water, as it might have already revealed the feeling of guilt. Her eyes looked purposeful but frightened when she at last lifted her eyes.It was nothing but a test, she said to herself. "Just answers."Back in the bedroom, Ava had taken up her phone and opened the email that she had received late in the night. The confirmation of the appointment was glaring back at her.Compatibility Screening - 10:30 a.m.Her heart skipped.She drew her lips. "Okay," she said softly. "You can do this."

  • Too Young To Want Him   Unasked Questions

    It was some time after the house had become still that Ava sat on the edge of the bed. Marcus had long ago gone to sleep, or at least she believed he had. She was alone, the hall was dark, yet her thoughts could not repose.She was slowly opening her laptop, as if the noise would wake someone. The screen was faintly lit in the dark room.“This is but information,” she said to herself. "That's all."She had typed: “bone marrow donation.”Pages appeared instantly. Ava looked at them, and her heart was leaping like she was committing a wrong."Okay," she murmured. "Just read."She clicked the first link. The words felt heavy, serious. She read very slowly and stopped frequently, attempting to get out the meaning."What is bone marrow?" Under her breath, she read it out. “Who can spare... doth expose... curedness…”She unconsciously reached

  • Too Young To Want Him   Kept at a Distance

    The voice of Elena was smooth and calm, except that something sharp underlined it, and Ava paused to walk."No," Elena said firmly. "You are not going to see Lydia."Ava stood paralysed in the hospital room hall. She had been practising what she had to say all morning and had been holding the words together like cracks in the glass. And now they broke up.“I only want to see how she is doing,” Ava said in a low voice. "I won't stay long. I won't upset her."Elena turned about to meet her face-to-face. Her eyes were scarlet, sleepy, and suspicious. "You already have," she said. "Enough."Ava flinched. "I didn't mean to hurt her. I swear."“That does not make a difference, what has happened,” Elena said. "Lydia is sick. She's scared. Peace, not confusion, is needed by her.”"I can be quiet," Ava insisted. "I can just sit with her. I will not even say whether that is what you desire.”Elena shook her head. "You don't understand. The moment Lydia looks at you, she recalls it all. The wedd

  • Too Young To Want Him   The Weight of the Truth

    Marcus did not say anything immediately after Ava entered the car. He was sitting at the wheel, his hands clenching the wheel firmly, and staring straight forward like a man who is scared that by looking at her he will bring all that is within him to ruin.Finally, he said, “Ava, there is something you must know.”Her heart sank in an instant. She nodded slowly. “I heard something already at the hospital,” I said to myself. "I wasn't meant to, but I did."Marcus turned to her sharply. "You heard?""Not everything," Ava replied. "Just... enough to be scared."He cleared his throat and sat up in his seat. "Lydia is sick."Ava swallowed. "I know."No longer stress or exhaustion, Marcus thought, and his voice broke, although he struggled to keep his voice down. "The doctors ran more tests. Blood work. Scans."Ava had her hands trembling in her lap. "Marcus, please," she whispered. "Just tell me."He shut his eyes during the treatment. "She has cancer."This time, the word was heavier and

  • Too Young To Want Him   Words She Wasn’t Meant to Hear

    Lydia had been in her stay with Elena for three days, and Marcus had not called upon her once. Yeah, she lied that she was with her friend. Elena was watching her daughter as she walked softly about the guest room, her face pale, and her eyes deep, and it was breaking her heart in such a way that she could not describe it.Elena put a bowl of soup on the bedside table and said, “You should eat something.”“I am not hungry,” Lydia added, not glancing out of the window.“Since the wedding, you have not eaten well,” Elena insisted. "Your body needs strength."Lydia turned slowly. “My body is not the biggest of my problems.”Elena muttered and took a seat on the edge of the bed. You do not need to forgive Marcus. “I'm not asking that.” But to have him cut out altogether will not make the hurt go away.“It aids me to breathe,” said Lydia flatly. “When I cannot hear his voice, I do not have to think about what he did.”“He is your father, your Dad,” Elena muttered.The eyes of Lydia were fi

  • Too Young To Want Him   Under the Same Roof

    The ride to the home of Marcus was silent. Too quiet. Ava sat in a passenger seat with clasped hands over her stomach and looked through the window as the city lights went by. Marcus maintained a focus on the road, closed his mouth and his mind was not in the moment. Nobody said anything and the silence was oppressive with all that he and she were not saying.As the car eventually stopped, Ava looked up and saw that they were here. The house of Marcus was a tall and dark building, the inside lights being dimmed. It appeared serene outside as though everything was as it always used to be, as though the world had not fallen in a couple of hours back.Marcus came out first and made his way around to open the door for her. “We will make our entry on the side,” he said. "No one will see."Ava nodded. "Thank you."He handed her a little suitcase and walked into the house. The house was not welcoming but was recognisable, clean, and a bit warm. It was tense, as though it were holding its bre
