XANDROS
She stood there, trying to control her crying when I whispered, "Ava?"
My girl's body was rigid and she was crying when I pulled her arm a bit, "A V?" and she turned around, sobs racking out of her body when she crashed into my chest and just hugged me. I knew something was wrong for the way she had clutched the back of my shirt, for the way she was pressing her mouth against my chest and for the way painful cries were leaving her mouth, when she was trying her level best to shut them down.
I rubbed her back and kissed her head, "What is it, darling?"
Her legs quivered when I wrapped an arm around her ass and pulled her closer to me, "Ava, sweetheart, talk to me, my love. What happened?"
She nuzzled her face in my neck when I tried my level best to wipe the tears from her face. I was majorly concerned by why was she crying so much? I kissed her forehead, "You texted me that you were going to meet Jennifer."
"I lied."
"Why baby? You could have told me you wanted to come here and I would have brought you. How did you come here, by the way?"
"Uber."
Anger rushed in my veins when I held her shoulders and pulled her back, "How many times have I told you to use my car and not Ubers. I don't trust them nowadays, angel. Don't do that again."
She nodded when I sat on the ground in front of Toby's grave and pulled Ava closer to me. Her body was curled into me when I whispered, "Want to vent out?"
"Owen died in my dream." Dang. Even hearing that hurt me, so I could not imagine what she was going through. Ava looked at me when I removed the stains of tear drops left on her cheeks when she patted my heart and whispered, her chin quivering as tears built up in them, "You are strong, do you know that?"
"Ava, don't."
"Xandros-"
I looked at the ground, "No Ava, don't."
"Whyyy?"
I looked at her, my tears matching hers when I shrugged and whispered, "You say that again and I'll start crying."
