Mason’s POVShe’s relaxed now and better than she was when we were at the supermarket. I couldn’t believe how much time has passed and how she’s changed.Ordering us cups of coffee, I told the barista just how she’d like it and after taking our order he left and Ava started crying again.Why is she crying? I made sure to be extra careful, did I do anything wrong?“I.. I’m sorry, did I do something?” I asked, I was confused and worried and I didn’t mean to stutter but her presence usually does something to me and it’s unexplainable.“It’s all your fault,” she started and I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her, oblivious to what she’s talking about, “it’s all your fault that all this is happening right now.” She sniffed, her voice breaking.“It’s all your damn fault!” She finished with a slight yell that took me aback for a while.“What do you mean? What’s my fault?” I asked, my eyes boring into hers and searching it for answers that seemed to be lost.What’s happening with her and

Ava’s POVGetting home, I decided I was going to call Nicole and just talk to her about losing my job. I needed that comfort from my best friend and although she might be very busy I knew that she’d be willing to offer me the support I need.Nicole also stayed in Los Angeles and she has her life going on perfectly well for her that sometimes I wish I was in her shoes and get to enjoy such luxury or love.She got married to her sweetheart, Ryan and they both moved here after they got married, they both have a beautiful two year baby girl that I’m the godmother of.Ryan owns a car dealer store and lots of employees so he mostly stayed at home to take care of Celia, their daughter. Nicole on the other hand works outside town.She’s a banker and only has to come home on weekends. She spends Friday to Sunday with her family before going back again on Monday, whenever Nicole was around Ryan would go to his workplace to inspect and put some things in order.Nicole had become very busy and I

Ava’s POVAmerica, San Francisco.The fresh breeze of a new city, a new start hit me as I got off the plane and although I was exhausted I was still relieved.Looking around, I found Danny and my mum waiting for me and I knew I felt a sense of peace at once. Walking towards them slowly, they both met me halfway and took my bags from me.The drive back home was a little bit silent because all I wanted to do at that point was cry my eyes out. We soon got home and when my mom offered to cook something I told her I was fine.“Are you really fine?” She asked and that was the question that made me lose it.I’ve been lying to her, to myself. I’m not fine, I’ve never been fine and worse, I went through hell in my marriage.Unable to control my tears, I sobbed as my mother patted my back slowly and gently stroked my hair as she kissed it. I couldn’t keep it away from her anymore.This is me, all of me and I couldn’t keep up with the lie anymore so I told her about everything, the emotional abu

Ava’s POVIt’s been six months and I’ve finally brought myself to learn how to live without men. Without dwelling in the past and finally moving on with my life.Working my butt off at my temporary job, I was happy at how well it paid and the respect I was accorded, no one ever mentions Mason when I’m around and I couldn’t be any more grateful for that.It seemed as though my mum had told everything I said to her about Mason and I to Danny but six months has passed and he still hasn’t said anything to me.I was expecting a confrontation, I was expecting to be bombarded with different questions especially when I’d walked out on him and gone for a drink at the beach but he still said nothing to me.I’d wanted to bring it up too but I felt ashamed of myself, I felt as though I’d disappointed him and even looking him in the eye was hard for me so I decided not to bring it up too.Exhausted, I sighed when I got home and sank into the chair as I rested my back and closed my eyes to relax a

Ava’s POVIt’s been two months since Mason and I started going out all over again and I badly want to kiss him. I wanted to feel his soft lips on mine again just like I usually do years ago.It might’ve been years but I still remember how soft his lips were, how safe I usually feel in his arms and how happy I always am whenever he was anywhere around.I’ve changed in the space of two months and it was because of me, after all these years he still had this much effect on me and he still is able to make me as happy as ever.It took everything in me, all of my self control to not smack my lips on his and kiss him because I had no idea how he feels about me.Does he still love me or he’s just feeling guilty and is asking me out because of that?I’d wanted to move out of our parents house and get an apartment of my own since I’ve saved up enough money to get my own apartment.“You’re moving out?” He asked as he took a sip of his coffee and I nodded affirmatively, the way his hand fiddled w
