Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 59 - Spotted

  "W-What are you doing here? How did you find me?" She whispered.

"What are you doing here? I wasn't even looking for you!" I said.

"This is where I am temporarily. I have to leave soon.." Ava spoke.

"Who are you with, and where are you going? Why can't you just tell me what's going on?" My hands became shaky. It felt like I wasn't talking to the real Ava. It was like someone different.

She sighed. "If I tell you, things will get worse."

"Um okay? Nobody's even around us right now. Just tell me!" I crossed my arms.

"Paige, you really don't understand. I think someone is watching me. I think someone listens to everything I say. Everytime I talk about it, it gets worse."

Tears arose to my eyes. "I miss having you around. What could possibly be so horrible that you run away from your family and me? That you make everyone think you're dead? Who was in that casket, Ava?" 

"That's my problem Paige. I don't know who was in the casket. But whoever it was, they're after me. I'm constantly terrified and nothing can stop it."

Chills raced down my spine, feeling like needles. "Wait what? So that really wasn't you? What the hell?"

She shook her head. "Trust me, I've thought about it so many times. I don't want to psychologically damage you too, so I don't think I should say anymore."

"What happened the day that everyone thought you died?" I basically whispered.

She sighed once more and leaned against the wall. "You're going to think I'm absolutely insane, but I think I have a twin. I don't know what happened that day. I was drugged."

"By who?" I asked.

She rubbed her eyes. "I- I don't know."

"Let me help you."

She looked at me with glossy eyes. A small tear ran down her cheek. She looked exhausted.

"I miss my family more than anything, dammit. I miss being with you everyday and I miss Nash. I miss living life. At this point, I'd rather be dead than continue doing this. But I stay alive because one day it has to stop. That's what I think."

"So is this like -A from Pretty Little Liars?" I rubbed her shoulder.

She giggled, but quickly stopped. "Worse. It's worse. It's scarier. And I don't have friends who are going through the same thing."

"I wish I could do something."

"I wish you could too. What are you doing here?" She asked.

"I'm here for Jack and Jack's concert. We basically go everywhere together." I shrugged.

She grinned. "I'm so happy for you. You're doing great."

"Come back home.." I said.

"You know I can't."

"Listen to me. There has to be something I can do. Me and Jack can do something to help you-" I began.

She immediately cut me off. "Don't you dare tell anyone what I told you. I'll die, Paige. I'll die."

I furrowed my eyebrows. "Tell the damn police!" I almost yelled. I was so frustrated.

"Don't you GET IT? I'VE TRIED!" She sobbed.

Suddenly, I heard Jack. He came around the corner and spotted both of us.

"Wait.. Ava?" Jack stared at her.
