Ava’s POVWe walked outside with our parents and they’d already decided that they would be spending the night at a hotel.Mason and I drove home, I felt comfortable in his jacket and we both went to our separate rooms to change out of our clothes.We finally decided to see a movie and it was cozy as we laid in each other's arms until the characters in the movie started kissing.I started feeling hot from within, my cheeks were burning and I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me that I was blushing hard from watching the characters in the movie get intense with each other.“Can we… Can we change the movie?” I stammered, my voice faltering and Mason smiled as he kissed my cheek and moved a chunk of hair away from my face.“I’ve been meaning to kiss you all night.” He whispered and I moaned as I threw my head back.If he wanted to kiss me then why hasn’t he done it.“Then just shut up and kiss me and stop acting like a gentle…” I was still talking when his lips claimed mine.He started kis

Ava’s POVPicking up my phone, I texted Mason and he replied almost immediately, we texted about how we both wished we could spend the night together.I really do wish I could spend the night with him but I couldn’t since I was already in my mum’s room and the only thing I can do now is to wait till morning before seeing Mason again.“Ooh, who’s he?” My mum’s voice from behind me made me jump and I almost dropped my phone in fear.How long has she been standing there for? Did she see who I was texting?“Mum!” I called angrily as I stood to face her, “you scared me.” I pointed out, clutching my chest and she laughed as she dried her hair.She’d told me she was going to take a shower and I was so engrossed in the chat with Mason that I had no idea when she got into the room.“Since when have you been here?” I asked, looking confused as I searched her eyes for answers that weren't really there.“See? You were so into the chat with him that you didn’t know when I walked in,” she said amid

Ava’s POVThe day for the trip came and I couldn’t be happier that I would finally get to spend some alone time with Mason.That was until my mum made us take my cousin along, I was angry but there was no way I could let her know that or she would suspect something.Me, Mason, Ryan, Nicole and my cousin all decided to meet at my house and set things up there before embarking on the trip.Everyone was ready and we had to take three cars, Nicole and Ryan. I was jealous of them because I had to ride with Mason and my cousin and that left us no chance to do anything.Mason’s friends drove another car too. I texted Nicole all through the drive as I whined about how I hated the whole set up.She consoled me and reminded me of how she’d asked us to sneak around and how much fun I’ll have on the beach.Giving up, I closed my eyes as Mason drove and it didn’t take long for us to get to the beach. It was there that I realized that Mason had already rented a beach house for the next two days.“O

Ava’s POVBroken hearted, I was supposed to go home with Mason but I couldn’t, especially after what my cousin had said to me the other day.I finally decided that I would go with Nicole and she was more than happy to have me in her house that night. She made hot chocolate for me and sat beside me to calm me down.“I’m such a fool,” I sniffed as I placed my head on her shoulder, “why on earth did I think that this would work out?” I asked rhetorically before going back to crying again.“I should’ve just ended it, I knew things like this wouldn't work out but I was such a fool for believing that there might actually be a chance for us and now I’m hurt.” I finished.Snorting and taking a sip of my hot chocolate, I tried to calm myself down but nothing worked and Nicole only stroked my hair lightly.“I’m sorry you had to go through this,” she started, “but you know, you can wait until your cousin is gone and you’ll be able to thrash it out with Mason.” She suggested.She’s actually right

Ava’s POVAll of Mason's efforts to talk to me proved futile, I was still in shock and I didn’t want to see or even get intimate with him. I just wanted him to leave me alone and I was glad when we finally left the restaurant.I couldn’t let our parents know that something was wrong with me and so I hid it behind a fake smile. We got home and started drinking, my mum let me drink since it was a special occasion.I was glad that I could finally take a shot of tequila, the burn in my throat was nothing compared to what I was feeling in my heart and I just wanted it all to go away.Our parents went through our photo album and giggled about how cute we looked and when they finished going through it, they started talking but I wasn’t paying attention.I just couldn’t stop drinking and I also couldn’t help but think if all those months we spent together was just nothing to him.Am I really special to him or just like every other girl he only just used me for his own pleasure and would final
