From the Bottom of My Heart, I Love You (gxg) (AU)

Ch. 31: The Moon and Stars

"You really did lose your mind JC. Didn't the dean tell you to stay away from Ava?! What were you thinking?" Lea exclaimed.

"I just need to talk to her, Lea. I just need to talk to her." JC replied.

"JC, you two are done! Done! You traumatized the girl and you keep going back to Ava who obviously doesn't want to see you anymore." Lea said.

"I love her, Lea. She changed me and I know I hurt her but we can always try, I know she and I can try it again..." JC replied but he was staring at the ground, Lea noticed how messed up her brother was, she could see that he was not in his proper self anymore.

"JC, you gotta get your shit together, or else we will be moving again and mom and dad will put you right back in the fucking psychiatric ward!" Lea reminded him again. JC immediately stood up and grabbed Lea with fear in his eyes after hearing what his older sister said.

"No, no. We can't leave! We can't! Not when Ava and I are not done talking. We haven't talked properly!" JC said.

"You lost her, JC! You already lost Ava the moment Beatrice stepped in. The moment Ava met her again, you knew you would lose her the moment you make a wrong move on Ava, Beatrice is your end." Lea replied and pushed JC away from her, she stormed out of her brother's dorm room, leaving Travis watching his brother lose his mind again.

Travis never felt more scared of his brother, he knew something is going to tick off his older brother's mind and things will get messy sooner or later, he just knows that he needs to prepare himself if anything happens.

Ava spent most of the journey dozing off, so it was fortunate that Beatrice requested her private aircraft so they could fly quietly and Ava could request any food straight immediately. It was the following event on the schedule, and Beatrice was still in charge of the entire event, so she would keep an eye on her while reading the file she was carrying. She lives far from the university, but the school board still keeps her informed sometimes since that is what they do.

An incoming call from her mother appeared on her tablet as she was browsing it. Beatrice took a deep breath and answered the phone after gathering herself since she knew she would get another earful sermon from this woman due to her impulsive escape.

"Beatrice Hansen! Why did you leave Amsterdam without notifying any of us of your plan? And you dare take Rivers with you? He is not your personal driver!" Mom's sermon used to bother her but now that she was all grown and had become great at staying numb at her own mother's lectures, she was immune.

"It was an emergency, mother. It cannot wait." Beatrice replied in her usual calm and cold tone.

"That is not enough excuse, Beatrice. You better get yourself back here in Amsterdam." Her mother said.

"I am flying back right now, I just need to fix errands," Beatrice replied.
