Chapter 81

Ava’s POVTHREE YEARS LATER.California, Los Angeles.“Did you remember to eat and take your meds, you do remember that you have to right?” My mum’s voice from over the phone made me roll my eyes.“Oh c’mon. I hope you also remember that I’m not a baby, I’m twenty two years old for crying out loud.” I answered and I could hear her try to suppress her laughter.“To me, you’ll always be a baby and I don’t care if you're a hundred years old, so please for my sake, try to eat something.” She advised me and I rolled my eyes again.“Nagging will get you nowhere so this is my own two cents. Stop calling me to nag at me like you’re an old woman and just focus on your husband, okay?” I retorted.Before she could say anything else, I hung up. If I’d left her on the phone, I knew we could go on and on and that would only delay what I was here to do.Thinking for a while and scanning the supermarket, I went to the stand where I was going to get my groceries and I soon started shopping.It was a l

Chapter 82

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

Chapter 83

Ava’s POVGetting home, I opened my door to the familiar scent of my home and I was also greeted with Miss Lucy’s purr. That seemed to be the only comforting thing around my house.Sinking into the couch, I couldn’t help but think about how I’d bumped into Mason again after all these years.Why does it have to be now? Why’d I run into him now of all time?I was just starting to heal and he had to show up now, him showing up would mess with me and I knew it. Groaning, I covered my face with my palm as I rested my back on the couch while my cat laid on my lap.He looked just as handsome as I remembered, shaking my head, I tried to get the thought of him out of it but nothing I tried worked.His face kept popping up in my head and I just couldn’t help but smile sadly at how he looked. He was talking about being hurt but he seemed fine and as though he had his life together already.After three years, he still remembered how I enjoyed my coffee, “gosh!” I sighed amidst my grins as I stood

Chapter 84

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

Chapter 85

Ava’s POVAfter some days, I got another message from Mason, he was apologizing for leaving abruptly and not telling me beforehand and was also pleading for me to see him.I’d wanted to ignore the message and probably delete it so I wouldn’t feel the urge to reply when Nicole’s words kept ringing in my head. ‘Follow your heart.’It wouldn’t hurt to reply to his text and just ask him to stop apologizing, I wanted us to put the past in the past but how would that be possible when I haven’t fully let go of the so-called past.After a while of staring at my phone screen and trying to come up with something to tell him, I finally decided to ask him to stop apologizing since it was starting to become embarrassing.The ringing of my phone caught me off guard and I’d almost dropped it when I cautioned myself. Reluctantly, I picked it up and his voice sounded like music to my ears.Hearing his voice again was therapeutic and I felt a weird sense of happiness that I haven’t felt in a while. I

Chapter 86

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

Chapter 87

Ava’s POVI picked up my phone and decided to video chat with Nicole. I had a lot of things I wanted to say to her and I silently prayed that she wouldn’t be too busy for me.She picked up on the third ring and I felt relieved, I was happy to see her and although my life was still miserable it was better than when I was still in LA.I told her everything that had happened and I also mentioned that I sent her a text which she admitted she saw but couldn’t reply to because she was a little bit busy.“So, you finally chickened out on Mason and ran away when a second chance for you to hold on tightly to him showed itself. I never took you for such a coward because from all you explained, he’s trying really hard to have you back and you just let him go without as little as a fight.” She said.Every word she said stung and it was because she was right, she’s right. I chickened out on him and ran away but how am I supposed to just let him into my life again?It’s the hardest thing for me to

Chapter 88

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

Chapter 89

Mason’s POV“Thank you.” I remarked when she finally allowed me into her room and it looked pretty much the same just as I remembered it except there were little touches there and it doesn’t really look like much.Sitting, we both got to talking and I asked her about how she got here and since when she’d been around since no one told me anything about her presence.She seemed to have shut me out completely out of her life, she kept things from me and wouldn’t talk to me and it hurts but I wasn’t mad because I knew how much pain I’d caused her and expecting her to just run into my arms would be absurd.“Well, I’ve been here for over six months now and things have been pretty great, better than it was in LA,” she answered and I smiled as I watched her talk.Seeing her now was beautiful and it seemed as though all the colors my world had lost were now restored. Staring at her is enough therapy and I just want to do things… to her.“And now I work in a small company but it’s great and eve

Chapter 90

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
