Chapter 18:

Ava watched her mom leaving her room. She sighed and took her phone out, seeing all the messages and notifications that she had been ignoring since the morning. She went in their Instagram gourpchat and started typing.

<Hey. Thank you for your kind messages. I just wanted to ask you if you maybe want to spend the night at my house? A sort of slumber party? It's okay if you're busy.>

She bit the inside of her cheek, feeling anxious about the whole thing. She didn't have to wait long, she immediately got multiple responses from her friends.

Shannon:

<I'm free tonight! I cant wait! Thank you for the invite! :). >

Mary:

<slumber party? Sounds gay. Im in!>

Lilith:

<I shall be there. Only if I won't be judged for bringing my favorite plushy with me.>

Camila:

<Yaaaaay! Okay okay, should we bring anything? Snacks or games or whatever?>

No response from Beatrice though. She decided to still reply to the girls. She started typing, relieved by their replies.

Ava:

<Nice :) and no Cam, we've got everything we'll need. I mean, if you wanna bring a boardgame or something, feel free haha oh and Lilith, no one will judge you!>

Cam:

<Oh, okay! Noted! I will look for a fun game! I CANR WAIT>

Ava chuckled at Camila's excitement. She sighed and let herself fall back on her mattress again. She was now just waiting for the one person who hadn't replied yet. The brunette decided to start her show again, but two minutes into the next episode, she got a message.

Bea:

<Hey, Im also free. When should we be there?>

She smiled at her screen and sighed in relief, feeling part of her anxiety leave her. She replied to her quickly.

Ava:

<Around 4pm? So in like an hour? Is that okay?>

Everyone agreed to the suggested time, so Ava decided to get some sleeping bags ready, blankets and pillows. There was enough space in her room for all of them. Marisa decided that the best solution for dinner would be for them to order pizza and eat in front of the tv. Ava obviously agreed with it, not complaining. She didn't have to wait long, the door first rang at 3:54pm. Ava walked down to the door and opened it, seeing Cam with a huge grin and behind her Mary and Shannon. Camila basically jumped on Ava, hugging her tightly.

-Hiiiii., said the girl excitedly.

-Hey Cam., chuckled Ava, hugging her back.

-Alright, my turn now., said Mary, pulling Camila away from Ava, hugging her as well.

-Hi Mary., smiled Ava with a chuckle.

-Hey girl. Don't scare us like that again., sighed Mary, squeezing her for a second and then letting her go.

-Hey Ava., said Shannon as she stepped forward and hugged Ava as well.

-Hi Shannon., replied Ava, hugging back.

Marisa showed up by the door.

-Girls, come in. I'm Ava's mom. You can call me Marisa., smiled the mother.

-You have a lovely house, Marisa., smiled Camila as she stepped inside.

Ava decided to show them around a little and then putting some snacks on the table by the tv.

-Pick a movie while we wait for Lilith and Bea., said Ava as she sat down on the couch, only to get up again when she heard the door ring again.

She walked up to the door, welcoming Lilith and leading her to the living room as well. She checked the time. 4:12pm. Beatrice was late, which was unusual. Where was she?

Beatrice was on the phone with the girls.

-He will hand himself in. He is on his way. He will admit to his crime and be sentenced to a decent amount of time in jail., said a girl.

-Perfect. I assume Miss Silva will be contacted as soon as he admits to his crimes, right?,replied Beatrice seriously.

-Yes, Miss. Miss Silva is not only a lawyer but the victim's mother so she will be the first one to be notified., explained a girl.

-Good. Thank you, girls. Get home safe. I won't be home tonight. Take the night off to cool down and relax. You did good., praised Beatrice as she pulled into Ava's driveway.

-Yes Miss. Thank you., replied a girl.

Beatrice hung up and got out of the car, taking her backpack out and walking to the door. She didn't even have to ring the bell, the door opened immediately.

-Hi., smiled Diego.

-Oh, hi kiddo. How are you?, chuckled Beatrice.

-I am good. Ava has been waiting for you. You should go inside. Surprise her., said the boy with a smile.

-You're a good brother, you know that?, replied Beatrice as she walked inside.

-Yes, I know., smiled, running away and going to his room.

Beatrice chuckled, finding it amusing. She could hear voices in the living room. She dropped her backpack by the door and walked inside. She saw the girls fighting over which movie to watch. She leaned against the doorframe, enjoying seeing their childish sides. That was until a pair of eyes met hers. Ava got up and ran up to her, tackling her into a hug. Beatrice was caught by surprise but kept her balance, holding in a groan. She hugged her back gently. Everyone turned around to look at them, even Camila with her knowing expression.

-Hey, Ava., said Beatrice with a chuckle.

-You're late., replied Ava, her face hidden against Beatrice's chest.

-I know. There was some traffic on my way here. I'm sorry., explained Beatrice as Ava pulled away from the hug to look up at her.

-Okay., nodded Ava with a soft expression.

Beatrice gave her a reassuring smile and then looked at the other girls who were just silently watching.

-What?, asked Beatrice with a sigh.

-Can we also hug you?, asked Mary.

Beatrice raised her eyebrows.

-Oh. Yeah. Of course. I know I'm not the most affectionate person but you guys can always ask for hugs., chuckled Beatrice.

Camila got up and walked up to her. She hugged her tightly.

-You haven't hugged me since...Sarah., whispered Camila as Beatrice wrapped her around her.

-I know. I'll do better. I'll do it more often, okay?, replied Beatrice to which Camila just nodded and kept hugging her.

The other three girls got up and joined in on the hug, having a little group hug moment while Ava watched them. A hand reached for Ava and pulled her to them. Camila was making her join the group hug as well. Beatrice just let it happen, knowing that she is not the greatest when it comes to showing the affection but still wanting the girls to know that she truly cares about them.
